Stumbled upon this Lebanese restaurant in a square amongst many other restaurants. This one had…read morehigher ratings on Google, so we came in, not knowing what to expect. It was chilly outside so we ate indoors, in a cute little "cave" area. The service was friendly, but they spoke minimal English. We had the lunch special for 18€. It comes with 2 kabob skewers with 3 sides, and dessert. We picked one chicken and one lamb skewer, which were excellent. The chicken was arguably the best chicken kabob I've had. It was breast meat that was juicy and tender. The baklava was tasty.

What a wonderful find on Yelp!…read more The area is surrounded by many restaurants and this location with its Lebanese dishes was the spot for us. There were many options including 3-5 course selections, but we opted for four separate side dishes to share. The owner offers personal attention during our entire visit and was very accommodating I have not had Lebanese beer, but it was very goos and he served it very cold. Overall our visit was outstanding ASN ended with a glass of mint tea. I highly recommend this restaurant and would easily return on our next stay. Enjoy!

Excellent Lebanese food, especially the labneh (yogurt-ish dip). This place does a bunch of…read morecatering and takeaway --- think primarily "mezze platter for 5 people," although they can also do sandwiches. The hummus is flavorful, and richly dressed with good olive oil; the owner didn't skimp on the pita bread, which was quite fresh. The tabouleh was tasty, but bulked up on a bed of forgettable lettuce. Sajna stocks the Lebanese beer Almarza (for a long time the only Lebanese beer); a delightful pilsner, probably the best Mediterranean beer I've tried. The takeaway carries over a little to the dine-in service --- we got wooden chairs with sequined pillows, but the food came on plastic trays with disposable silverware. Didn't affect the flavor at all, but perhaps not the most impressive place for a date. Didn't get a chance to try the pumpkin kibbeh; sounds interesting. Next time!

Unclear if this is a restaurant or an event company that happens to serve food…read more We were craving vegetarian friendly food and Sajna came up, so we thought we'd give it a try. The store owner informed us that he was catering a wedding that day and would only sell us the food he had made for the wedding (there may have been something lost in translation). The food he gave us was delicious, but we would have loved to be able to explore the options. Vegetarians and vegans should consider this place if they are hungry.

We got 10 small plates , full of different dishes, from baba ghanoush to small empanadas filled with meat, cheese, or spinach. It came with pita bread. I wished the pita was warm and more toasted. I liked the fact all the dishes were light but still fulfilling . At the end we had desserts, yummi empanadas filled with roasted pistachios and honey .

We opted to share la menu végétarien, and for 15 €, it was almost enough to satisfy! We had to order a second helping of falafel al a carte (includes 5 extra falafel balls) which was then enough for us to feel oh so good. The fixed menu includes hommos, baba ganoush, tabouli, samboussik jebne (which is like a little samosa with cheese inside), fatayer (another samosa type with spinach inside), rakakat jebne (melted cheese inside Lebanese bread), falafel, and mjadara (potatoes and lentils). There was also a rice dish listed, but we didn't get that. You also get an ample side of pita bread! It's a lot of food and it's all perfectly prepared. At the end of the meal they brought us a couple sweet desserts, one corn based doused in honey, and the other a cream-pistachio topped sweet bread. And! A delicious serving of Moroccan mint tea. This was my favorite meal in Marseille, hands down. If it only were closer to where we stayed, we would've returned for another delicious meal. Don't miss out on this place!

This is the best restaurant in Cassis…read more There I said it. Not only will you find the best vegan and vegetarian meals here, you will find some of the best seafood in all of Provence!* During our four nights in Cassis, we ate dinner here four times. It was that good. First off, the menu is humongous, the wine list is endless, and the hosts are the best. The environment is great too as each one of the different areas gives you a different experience. Inside you'll have the AC, but lack of people watching, on the right side you'll be in a more secluded spot in a more narrow street. On the other side, you'll have plenty of people to watch, and cats to pet as they roam in front of their owners house. Anyway, the food was a blast. Having authentic mediterranean/lebanese food was fantastic. The hummus was beyond delicious. If my wife would let me, I would have licked the bowl clean. They also had home made baklava, which was succulent. The wines were mostly from the Cassis region, and paired well with my vegan meal and my wife's pascatarian dishes. On top of it, they had fruit rums (four kinds!!) that the hosts would give out during the desert. Bottomless and delicious, these drinks sealed the night with the aforementioned baklava. I wish every city in Provence had as amazing food as D'une Rive a l'autre had! *A claim by my wife. I cannot confirm this statement with my own taste buds.

The plaza it sits in also hosts a fountain, large shade trees, and a beautiful old church. The outdoor seating is idyllic, and the food excellent. It's nice to get a change from french cuisine, and middle-eastern is so appropriate to the climate and setting. I ordered kebab and it came Lebanese style, with shaved shards of lightly charred meat in a dish, served with a side of rice with fine noodle garnish, pita, and numerous dishes of veggie sides including probably the smoothest, creamiest humus I've ever had. There was also baba ganouj, a ratatouille-like cold stew, some kind of courgette/tahini dish, and tabouli that was delightfully heavy on the fresh tomatoes, garlic and parsley rather than couscous. But the star of the show is something I didn't recognize, but will actively seek out from now on: a fine-chopped red pepper and walnut paste that was just to die for! Read the hidden reviews, too--they seem entirely reliable and accurate to me.
