    My daughter has been here a couple times and tonite my wife, daughter and I brought a friend to…read morecelebrate a birthday. The food was excellent and service was totally on-point. We started with loaded fries and substituted falafel instead of chicken because our daughter is vegan. The fries were crispy and piled up with finely chopped tomato, falafel, tahini and a whipped garlic topping. We also had hot sauce on the side which was deliciously smoky and hot. My wife and I both had lamb kafta which was amazing. I had tabouli and yellow rice and my wife had roasted vegetables and their olive mix. Our friend had the chicken kafta and our daughter had lentil soup and her own order of fries. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and we had the pleasure of meeting Reem, the owner! Wonderful place and we are CERTAIN to go back!!

And I feel sorry for her, because whenever she asked us how everything was, we couldn't even answer her because the "Lebanese" food was so terrible. Don't put her out there and claim this is Lebanese food. How dare you do that to this young woman? She does not deserve that! I grew up eating Lebanese food, since my paternal grandparents were full Lebanese (therefore, of course so was my dad, and therefore I'm half Lebanese). This food tasted nothing like the food my Sittu (Lebanese for grandmother) or my aunts made... or even my mom, who learned to cook Lebanese food from my Sittu and from her sisters-in-law. The "Lebanese" food was very disappointing. Get a Lebanese chef and stop getting good reviews because of your French fries, for goodness sake! You're making Lebanese food look bad! STOP IT!

The two times I've been in, they've brought out samples of thier menu items to try. I've ordered various things on the menu: hummus, lebneh, falafel wraps, falafel platters, baked kibbe platters, the green bean side, etc. All have been amongst the best Lebanese food I've tried. I want to expand and try more things, like the chicken and beef kafta. If you have questions just ask. Certain platters come with different items. Some rice, some salad, etc. Thier pita is fresh and delicious, and comes in different sizes. They have a decent sized dining area for dine-in, and the take-out area is right as you walk in the side door. Here you will also find a grocery area with Lebanese essentials. The selection is sizable, and offers items you won't find in a regular grocery store. I stocked up on spices, and coffee. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. I will return every opportunity I get.

    While visiting with friends in Norwalk, on a whim, we headed out to Esh for dinner. Despite not…read morehaving a reservation, the appeal was strong enough for us to take the chance that they might not be able to accommodate a hungry party of four stragglers on a Saturday evening. Luckily, a table had just opened up, and as a result, we feasted on the Moroccan cigars (very good), and the outrageously delicious flatbread (with three of the five mezze options). Our selected mezze options were the labneh, spicy feta, and the tzatziki. All were delicious, but the labneh stood out the most. I love labneh. The flatbread was served fresh out of the oven with a drizzle of oil and condiments. It was moist, aromatic, and steamy. Weeks later, I am still thinking about that damn bread. Yum. Since it was my first time, a friend and I shared the Nazareth lamb kebab potpie and the black angus ribeye shawarma. Both were tasty and the portions were substantial. Other friends had the Moroccan style halibut and the charcoal grilled ribeye skewer. The skewer was extra impressive because the skewer...was a SWORD. Everybody enjoyed their meal. With limited space in our bellies, we pushed forward by sharing the kunefe with pistachio. The thing about me is I can't say no to anything containing pistachio. I loved it just as much as the flatbread. 10/10 Overall, I was impressed. The flavors at Esh were enticing and the ambiance is trendy enough. A word to the wise: Esh serves what I imagine folks enjoy regularly in the Middle East for a fraction of the cost. When you visit, be prepared to spend $100+ PP. Fairfield isnt the Middle East, it's Connecticut.

Must be under new ownership or at least new cooks in the kitchen, judging by the change in quality and taste of the food. The people in the kitchen seemed to be primarily Spanish-speaking. Ordered the chicken kebab wrap and schwafel. Chicken was very dry and drowned in sauce that tasted more like mayo than tahini. They were kind enough to make me a new one after seeing that I was picking at the wrap and the cook explained that chicken breast in the kebab is usually dry. Funny - it wasn't this dry the many times I've had it before. The kebab also lacked the flavor and spice that it had previously. The wrap itself was also thin, dry and unpleasant. They used to use a flour wrap which I think they changed to something akin to cardboard. The scwafel wrap was also very dry. The seating area is small but the workers are very nice and keep it relatively clean. Prices have crept up, as they have everywhere. Given the decline in taste and quality and increase in price, I cannot justify going back to Layla's. The end of an era. I wish they would bring the previous owners/or at least teach the new crew how to make a proper kebab.

You can tell immediately that everything is fresh. For the main course, we had a platter that came with steak, chicken, and lamb chops, and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors and seasoning were top-tier. For dessert, we had the warm baklava, which was absolutely delicious with every bite. If you have kids, don't worry--they also have an appetizer that's similar to a mozzarella stick that was absolutely delicious. I just can't remember the name of it! They play all types of music, and even though the space is big, the personal and intimate connection with the employees is what really made the experience special. The manager, Joselyn, was incredibly warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Vivian, was on top of every single request. Bravo! I only wish I had been able to meet the chef because I would personally shake their hand. The food was truly amazing. This is definitely a place where you could throw a birthday party, have a professional dinner, or simply enjoy a beautiful night out with your wife. It has all the qualities of a great restaurant, and I feel like NYC is starting to lose sight of that kind of hospitality. Eating here honestly reminded me of my travels to Egypt. The hospitality was A1. BRAVO! And I can't forget the bartender--he definitely knows what he's doing!

Definitely did not disappoint. All the food here is sharable and for 4 people it was enough. Sadly could not bring it all with us, but would have if we lived here. From what I remembered, we ordered the Lamb Shank, Sumac Fries, and Kouda Bi Zeit. All delicious, all notably the favorite. Probably the reason why I remember these out of the rest of our order. Drinks were also delicious. We ended up ordering each other's favorite drink. Mine ended up being the Mediterranean C vs the Once Upon a Time. Overall, highly recommend! Best mediterranean food I have ever had.
