We arrived somewhat early, and there were only a few customers seated inside. I had the house special Ensalada Gruta Ehden and it was something spectacular. It included a special mix of Lebanese spices and cheese that I had never tried before. I slap enjoyed a glass of Jamaica fruit drink to go along with my salad. This restaurant is upscale so I would recommend to be dressed appropriately. Our Server and everyone we saw working here were dressed in suits and they were all professional.

Not the best for a large group as there is limited seating. Not an issue as I was dining solo. They only have falafel sandwiches either a wrap, pita or salad . Ingredients are fresh, I thought falafel could have been fried just a bit more to have more crispy texture. The inside was tad dense also. I wish I could have had a side of sauce to add a little kick. as flavors were monotone. No pickles or anything salty or acidic inside the pita to balance flavors, that's what I am used to. It seemed there was only one bottle which he gave to another table. One suggestion is to have a little bowl so one take some sauce to the table without taking entire bottle. Language is a barrier as I am not fluent and felt shy to grab the bottle, I am sure that lady would have been ok with it lol but was feeling self conscious about coming off as rude and getting us American a bad rap. Overall an ok meal, it wasn't bad but not did it blow my mind.

I can summarize this restaurant: - Food: above average, nothing spectacular. -Staff Service: The waiter was great and attentive, nothing out of the ordinary. - Cashier/likely the owner: grumpy, didn't look like she wanted to be there. Gave me the dirty look because I added 10% of the check in tip, which all the locals told me is fair. Probably was the Lebanese owner. Mexicans can't be that grumpy. -Price: 320 pesos for a buffet, basically about the same price you'd get in the U.S. or the Emirates. All in all, I wouldn't go back because of the price and the grumpy cashier. Este restaurante necesita otro cajero! La mujer que está trabajando como un cajero estaba mala y se va como no quiera trabajar. Creo que es una mujer arabe y tal vez el dueño....No me importa. Los meseros estaban muy amables y sus servicio estuve bien. Los precios son carros, 320 pesos por comida arabe de calidad básica. Si quieres comer aquí, evita el cajero y paga tu mesero directamente.

For the buffet they got all kinds of Lebanese entrees: grape leaves, stuffed squash, stuffed cabbage, raw kibbeh, baked kibbeh, tabbouleh, hummus, etc. ALSO, This is a great spot for breakfast if you're visiting Viveros or even Frida Kahlo's house. They got Lebanese inspired eggs served with Lebanese jocoque (strained yogurt), spices, olives and pita bread. It was a very special flavor. The egg cazuela with poblano peppers is very tasty and has a super generous amount of cheese, it's spicy! Huevos divorciados are also a Mexican breakfast classic, served with delicious mashed beans. Coffee is very good. Prices are right, you can get the breakfast dish on its own or you can make it a combo (coffee, juice and fresh fruit included)

I decided to get a combo plate so I can try a little bit of everything. It came with a meat empanada, a couple grape leave rolls, a side of rice, and baba ganoush. I also had a bebida libanesa sin azúcar - without sugar. It was good but I think it may have tasted better if I were to have eaten there, portions would have been a bit bigger maybe? At least looking at other people's plates.

We started with the Jarra de Café Arabe which was made just right. It reminded me of Lebanon and gave me that midday caffeine kick I needed. The Pan con Queso y Zaatar was surprisingly not authentic. It was essentially just cheese with dry zaatar on the side. I was expecting it to be baked with half Cheese and half Zaatar. They essentially gave us the zaatar to sprinkle on our own. The Pastel de Dátil was rich, naturally sweet from the dates, and a bit dense. I picked up on other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom which gave it some warmth while the crust was more crunchy and nutty. Good try, overall!
