I saw it on the menu so decided to give this place a try. It was only one metro stop from the apartment we were staying at. We want to sit a pet a table towards a corner but were told we couldn't in case the restaurant filled up. There were 2 other couples there. No big deal We ordered a Bordeaux and beer... They only had Lebanese brands of both so we figured we'd give it a try. They were tasty! We split falafel which were amazing, hummus, and hallubi cheese (grilled). I liked it but my husband said it lacked flavor. I ordered the chicken takori which was very tasty. The menu stated that it would include one side but I was charged separately for the hummus. When my husband went to order his beef scharawma, they told him sorry, but they didn't make it today. He was a bit disappointed but just split the chicken I had ordered with me, The food was pretty good but not more than a 3 star restaurant.

I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.
