We came here for Sunday brunch…read more There's no reservations and the place is very small, they give you a number and you wait until they call you. We waited for about 30 mins and we were seated. The place is very small that the tables are all so close to each other, you can clearly hear other ppls conservation, it's very loud and there's also alot of families with kids If you are looking to go somewhere quit to eat brunch this is not the place to go. When you seat down they give you tea, the tea wasn't to my liking at all. They don't offer glasses of water so we got bottle of water? They also give you complimentary plate of olives, turnip, cucumber and tomatoes. We ordered the spicy cheese and zahtaar sage, that was very good, I think it was my favorite. It was very big and came on a board. We also got the professor lebneh, the tahini foul and the meat egg, they were okay nothing especially, the tahini foul was lemony, I felt like there was just too much lemon in there. Will I go back I don't know, this is not a place you would go every week, it's a once a few months vibes

Came here for dinner after seeing the rave reviews. Perhaps…read morethey recently cut down the menu but the restaurant had a lot less offering compared to the larger menu I saw online. Decided on "Les Mezz-Plateaux, plateau de 6" to split between two ppl. It's a set menu that comes with hummus, taboulé, mouhammara, and zaatar potatos with choice on the protein and dessert. We chose the shawarma mignon for protein and almond and apricot for dessert. The food presents well aesthetically and appears fresh but nothing stood out to me taste wise. The pita was not made in-store, it was the store-bought pita pocket type and not even warmed up. Total came to $41 not incl tips. We added tip on top even though we shouldn't have, as you grab the food yourself from the counter. I wanted to like this place but sadly it was mediocre at best.

The brioche bread was well toasted, and it didn't seem to break apart easily or make a mess. There was a good amount of filling, and it was quite flavorful. Next, I tried the baklava pancakes, and I liked that the pancakes were fluffy, soft, and quite thick as well. It does come with a cream topping, which was sweet but not sickly sweet, and it paired very nicely with the pancakes. The baklava crumbles were a nice touch, though on their own, they can be quite sweet. Service was super friendly and really patient with our group of six, as we were still undecided on what to choose. I liked that we were not rushed at all.

Absolutely wonderful food, completely worth the hype. Low key dining ambiance but high quality…read morefood. I would recommend this for groups of four or more so you can try many things -- they're fairly accommodating with tailoring dishes ala carte vs one person entrees and absolutely everything I ate here was delicious. Flavorful and spicy (not necessarily hot) in the best ways, nothing tasted showy or try-hard. The stand outs were the vegan platter (just everything was delicious, and I'm not vegan) and the Chicken Taouck (marinated in a garlic and pomegranate molasses sauce that was just brilliant). The lamb and shrimp skewers were also stand out but a little more basic (not a problem for me, I loved both). I wish I could have tried even more but we were stuffed and satisfied as is. My one complaint, and this could be a bonus for others, was they are fairly pushy on trying to sell you on letting them curate a tasting menu for you. When I asked the waitress if she had any favorite dishes she wouldn't even humor me -- do the fixed menu and you'll find out. Sorry, but that's just not my style! I could see how that might work if you've never had this kinda food and this all feels super foreign, but (and I don't pretend to be an expert in Syrian or Armenian cuisine by any means) it felt a little overtly up-selly to me. In the end we chose our own way and had a delicious meal anyhow. Would absolutely come back next time I'm in town.

I wasn't sure how our evening at Le Petit Alep would develop. Some reviews said "casual," some said…read more"classy." I think it's a little of both, perhaps depending on where in the restaurant you sit. We were seated in the front on the side, which we appreciated on a very humid evening. Rather than order off the menu, our server created a sampler platter for us which included popular offerings for each course. The food got better and better as we proceeded through the courses, our favorite was the chicken skewers. Food and drink total came right in the range quoted by our server. One unexpected thing was the pita for our second course (which included hummus). It was delivered in a plastic bag. So we were unsure if the logo on the bag was where it was made. We didn't use all of ours, so when we were done with the course, they took it away. What do they do with the unused pita? Is it thrown away? Is the bag refilled and given to the next customer? Did we get a bag from earlier customers? Two other observations: We ordered a 500ml carafe of wine. We were allowed to sample it first, and the sample was chilled. The carafe we were served was significantly less chilled, and the insulation inside the container in which the carafe was delivered was not cool to the touch. The wine was still very good, but it would have been even more enjoyable a few degrees cooler. Also, even though cuisine is billed as Syrian, our server mentioned "Armenian" several times (this is not an issue at all). The only thing we didn't like was the humidity. If that is a concern to you, ask to be seated near one of the ceiling fans.

I ordered a mixed shawarma wrap, tabouleh salad and a side of hummus. Everything was pretty tasty and served quickly.

I would visit this chain again for a quick meal.

They have a vegan pita that uses faux meat that tastes just like shawarma, with all the fixings like hummus, tomatoes, lettuce, etc. in a warm pita wrap. I was very surprised at how good it was and they really seemed to be happy to provide plant-based options. I also tried a side of their potatoes and falafels with a vegan garlic sauce that they happened to provide upon request. Both were fine - neither were the best I've had by a long shot, but fine for being fast food. Given the nature of the restaurant, there is absolutely cross-contamination, but I'm sure you knew that already.
