We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening with a group of 8. There was a reservation for us to…read moreensure a table, but honestly it was probably unnecessary. The place was not empty, but was not busy for a Friday at 7 pm.
For our large group, we ordered 4 rounds of the Bekaa Mesa, their largest assortment of appetizers, to start. This meant that about 30 or so small plates of dips, meats, and finger foods was brought to our table. They were all elegantly prepared, and many of them paired great with the baskets of pita provided for the table (which we had to keep refilling). My only complaint was the unclear response from our server when we asked what dishes had nuts. My partner is allergic to all kinds, so we wanted to know which dishes to avoid. Our servers gestured to some plates but was mostly unclear of which dishes we should for sure avoid. I stressed a little as we ate, but it all went (and tasted) well.
After this, some people ordered main meals, dessert, or more appetizers. I personally got another mesa, as I enjoyed being able to taste so many things. My partner got the schisch taouk, and I can say I was jealous. His plate looked amazing. Also note that it comes with half a pita pizza and potatoes, as well as the salad, dip, and chicken listed on the menu. I sampled some of it (when he let me), and it was amazing.
In conclusion, I greatly enjoyed my food here. My complaints would be that the menu is not descriptive enough of the dishes, meaning you are not truly sure of what you order. As the partner of someone with many allergies, this can be a source of stress, and we would have appreciated more empathy from the staff with these concerns.
