I ordered the shrimp platter, and honestly, it was unbelievable! The sauce that came with it was OUT OF THIS WORLD, and the salad was so fresh and delicious. Everything we ordered was amazing. The service was very sweet and friendly. It was a little slow at times, but the restaurant was really busy, so it was understandable. And the DJ was the coolest! She was so accommodating, took all our song requests, and even played some Persian songs for us, which made the night extra special. Just a heads-up, Bei is a small restaurant with seating areas in the front and back, but that's part of its charm. It feels cozy, intimate, and has such a fun vibe.they also had belly dancing I highly recommend Bei if you're looking for delicious food, yummy cocktails, great music, and a fun night out. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Service was on the leisurely side, but extremely warm and welcoming.

This place blew me away with the falafels. Probably best tasting falafel! For $15 each for the pitas they were a good size. Super tasty and good amount of filling! Service was kinda busy in the kitchen with take out orders. No seating to eat outside.

My money would be better spent anywhere else. Side sauces tasted good but if I had to guess they were chock full of corn syrup and all sorts of unhealthy trash I rarely give bad reviews but this place needs one

So happy my daughter told me about this place. The staff is ALWAYS and I mean always so nice. Depending when you come, the line can be a bit long but the team is pretty quick to help to move the line along. Food is CONSISTENT in taste and portion which is such a big PLUS these days. You really can't go wrong with any of the menu items. We have tried the entire menu and always go back to the bowls or wraps. From the sauces, the fries and everything else...we crave this place all the time. We always get a double order of Sweet Potato fries cuz one is never enough. 01. Wraps - are tasty and always grilled perfectly for a nice crunch. 02. Bowls - are excellent and filling, all of the bowls even the Mushroom bowl is delicious. 03. Chicken - clean, juicy and tender and perfectly cooked. 04. Sides - always order the Sweet Potato Fries and Za'atar Fries and you MUST order the Garlic Toum (more mild than garlicky but still good). 05. Drinks - There is something for everyone, love their selections. If you have not tried this place yet, it's a sign you should. Even my pickiest non-healthy friends love this place. Great foods and reasonably priced.

There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.

I appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and the passion about this family business. The quality of the food is great and feels like home cooked meal. The quantity is generous and for a party of 17, we had guests helping themselves for seconds and taking food home. The communication prior to the event was clear, and the food arrived on time, warm and packaged in nice serving dishes that were sturdy and of good quality along with utensils. The food was tasty, flavourful, fresh, filling while being light. Finding authentic Lebanese cuisine is really hard, but now we find our go to place! Thank you so much for making our office party filled with delicious and tasty food. Till next time!

Interesting their name has "Restaurant" but it's more of a to-go shop than a dine-in place…read more Picking up my food was an interesting experience. No one at the counter. Turns out multiple food shops occupy this location. You'll have to ring the Ring doorbell of the shop you ordered from. Likes: + Yummy food. I liked the variety of flavors and textures in my order. + Pleasant, modern ambience. . The shop will seem like it's in the middle of nowhere, but rest assured, your food is at Ste F. Non-likes: - Somewhat expensive. I don't think the cup of simple-looking lentil soup was worth $6. - Very limited seating. - Inconveniently located in the middle of nowhere. I had: $6 Crushed lentil cup + $19.55 Kafta plate + tax - 1-time ChowNow discount = 24.77

Everything was delicious. The dips from the appetizer and sauces were very flavorful and had a smooth mouthfeel. The fresh pita was so soft and warm and paired well with the complimentary sun-dried tomato oil, and really all of the dips. The meat from the Istanbul kebab was very tender and juicy, especially the chicken and ribeye steak kebabs. The pickles were not too sharp and the salad was nice too. I wish I took pictures of our food but we went to town on it. We had quite a bit to pack to go too, so I think the price was relatively fair for the amount we ate. I think the staff were lovely and polite. It wasn't crowded at all when we went, so it was a pretty smooth experience.

The staff isn't all that friendly but the food makes up for their lack of customer service. We had tired the chicken kebabs, steak kebabs and the hummus.

It was on a bit of lettuce, that's it. - Spicy garlic potatoes was basically breakfast potatoes with Cholula drizzled on them, and the garlic aïoli on the side. It looks like a breakfast item that you get at a diner. - The fried cauliflower should be soft when you bite it; instead, they were half-fried. - We had the Trio Shawarma, it was disappointing. The lamb had really strong gamey taste; the beef was tough and the chicken was flavorless.

A Delicious Lebanese Gem with Quirky Charm…read more If you're searching for unforgettable Lebanese food in an unpretentious setting, Barbonzai delivers in spades. The moment the food hits the table, any doubts about the decor fade into the background. Let's get the obvious out of the way: the interior is... eclectic. A mix-and-match assortment of tables gives the space a slightly haphazard vibe. But if you're willing to overlook the visual dissonance, you're in for a real treat. This place doesn't just serve food--it serves flavor, heart, and authenticity. My dish was bold, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. Everything feels fresh, well-balanced, and made with care. Whether you're diving into creamy hummus or perfectly spiced grilled chicken each bite is a reminder of why you came--and why you'll be back. Quick and the lemon dressing and garlic dip adds flavor! Come hungry, and maybe bring a friend who doesn't mind sitting on a mismatched chair. It'll be worth it
