Their food was freshly prepared , had the chicken shwarma over rice and their lamb kebab on a wrap. Both were piping hot but sadly lacked flavor. The rice pilaf served was white rice with vermicelli which was cooked well but unflavored. Meats were bland. They would benefit from adding sauce options. The spinach pie was very soggy and their kunefa was either overcooked or stale. No frills quick bites spot with much potential. The grocery section had a nice variety of snack items for the road.

So I think now is the time I finally unpack and just say how I feel. For the last several months,…read moreI have not been very happy with Yelp. It's not just that I had one review removed despite that being from a place I've actually eaten their food from, but that the algorithm has used some of my other reviews in the past to make me look misleading, whether it be adding in information I did not add myself, switched the location of where I had reviewed a place, all of it has led me to distrust Yelp throughout the rest of 2025. I couldn't write another review up until now because every time I had even consider doing so, it felt awkward. I hate having to start a new year off like this, but over the last few weeks, I've had to work on letting go of my anger and confront my issues. Maybe this review can be a way to help with that. End emotional rant. Let's get into Kanoon, because oh boy do I have a lot of thoughts to unpack from here. So how did I actually come to dine at Kanoon? Actually, mom had found this spot and she described the people working there as nice people. We were actually going to go to Texas Roadhouse until we saw the lines inside and went here instead. This visit was more for the sake of mom's emotional well-being than anything else. Parking was a bit of a tight stunt, but as long as you can find somewhere to park you should be okay. Now, upon entering, you have to wait to be seated. Of course, because I parked the car while my mother crutched her way over to a table, I was able to just come in and tell the employee who I was with and head on over to that table. Decor and thematically, it's pleasant to look at. There's a bull head on one of the walls with a Kanoon license plate nearby. Two arcade machines are stowed away near the bathrooms. Bathrooms were nice too I guess. There's two areas where you can be seated at. At one point while we were eating, we are featured a show of dry ice at our tables. It's like fog on our own tables. They do take it back after a short while. Like I said, it's nice to look at. So now onto the food. There was the Lotus Shake, the Hummus Plate, a tray of slaws, mom had the lamb, and I had the smoked meat starter. Oh, and the crepeholics crepe was the dessert. Food is served on exotic plates and on wood. The lamb my mom got was served on a cracked wooden plate that was on its way out, so even though she did still like the lamb, she didn't finish the salad that came with it. As for me, the meat on my platter tasted fine at first, but the more I ate, the more of a story it told. The more I ate, the blander it got. Not even some extra pepper that was available at my table could save the meat. While I did still finish it, it was not without a struggle. The fries were at least crispy, and the cheese on top helped with the flavor a little. Also, the presentation was top-notch. The hummus plate was another item that was presented well, and if the main dish was as good as the hummus, I would probably have added another star to the review. But yes, the hummus was in fact a good appetizer. The chickpeas that topped it were just right. The Lotus Shake was probably the best thing I had of the night. It's a shake topped with whipped cream, a Biscoff cookie, cookie crumbs, and one of those cookie straws that are this one treat I can't think of the name at the moment. The milkshake had a caramel flavor to it, and mixed with the whipped cream was divine. The dessert was a little underwhelming if I have to be honest. You have the same caramel Biscoff flavor you did with the Lotus Shake in this crepe, and the chocolate was more of a milk chocolate. Funny thing, I had actually recently learned how to make custard using dark chocolates, and just from having my own custard alone I can tell you that this crepe would have been better complimented if a dark chocolate was used in place of the milk chocolate. This place isn't really anything to write home about. The only reason I even knew this place existed before was because this place had tons of fake Google reviews in its opening weeks. I hope Google has begun cracking down on that, but I had already lost my trust in Yelp before, so I'm going to call that even and just rate this place based on my experience here. Because it was an okay-at-best place, I can't say I would recommend Kanoon at this time.

After 45 minutes, we still had zero food, zero appetizers, zero signs of life. A guy walked in 10 minutes after us, ordered takeout, sat down, waited, and LEFT WITH HIS FOOD before we even made eye contact with hummus. Let's talk about what we ordered. Appetizers: hummus (open container plate) and falafel (drop in oil wait 5 minutes). Entrées: a Greek salad (apparently they had to grow the lettuce from seed and milk the cow for feta) and a shawarma wrap--ALREADY COOKED, spinning on a spit, literally designed to be sliced and wrapped. Somehow, this was an impossible task. After 45 minutes of absolutely nothing, we left. Maybe the food showed up later. Maybe it's still "almost ready." Either way, we will never, ever be back. Come hungry. Leave angry. Or just don't come at all.

First, the hostess was extremely rude and made me feel uncomfortable from the moment we walked in, as if I didn't belong in the restaurant. Secondly, the menu is missing clear explanations of some of the dishes and their ingredients. For example, the chicken shawarma hummus bowl included pickled onions and also had onions or shallots mixed into the shawarma. These details should be clearly stated on the menu, and this was definitely a downfall on Esh's part. The food itself was fantastic; however, due to how uncomfortable the hostess made me feel, I would not return. My money can go elsewhere.

I got up to ask if they have any hot tea, he said yes and recommended the cardamom tea . The tea was perfect beautiful delicious! Never had cardamom tea before. I came from New York on a day trip and stumbled upon a true gem. I never had Lebanese food before and I am so glad I came here. I was treated like an actual princess.

Simon would come to my table and give me free samples of their desserts. I was just so overjoyed with the whole experience! I couldn't leave without buying hummus and a seven bean salad as well as some cookies. The restaurant was beautiful and filled with life and colors.

There was SO much dressing (oil) on the Tabouleh I could barely taste the actual vegetables--the oil was even leaking out of the container, so that was disappointing.
