Delicious food - this was our first visit but definitely not our last!…read more The wrap was huge! Probably a foot long and very reasonable at $11. Filled with seasoned chicken and fresh vegetables. The Shawarma over fries was simple but delicious - great shoestring type fries! Brought leftovers of everything home and haven't tried the baklava yet but it looks amazing! The owners were friendly and helpful and eager for us to enjoy their food! The place is low key and clean. Don't pass on the sauces ... they're great, expected tzatziki sauce but my favorite was the red, hot sauce which was a perfect compliment to the wrap! Hope this place survives here ... as it's not been a good spot for past businesses!! Good luck Shawarma Bay!!!

It was within walking distance of the school so I decided to give it a try. Ample parking and it's an easy spot to get and out of. The interior was clean and neat as a pin.

The food was absolutely fantastic. I wish I didn't live 60 miles away or I'd be here all the time. Don't pass this place up!

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!

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.

Walking in felt great, the ambiance gave homey vibes in the best way possible, it felt like I was about to get some great eats. The gentleman at the counter recommended I get the combo since he saw me eyeing the butternut-squash & apple soup that they had on special. Anywhere I see soups, it's a wrap. You are able sub out for fries or salad if you'd like that instead of the soup, plus you get a drink. I decided to go with the soup special & chose the chicken souvlaki. Flavors were there, chicken was tender, & in my opinion the simplicity was top tier on this. The butternut-squash & apple soup, was DELICIOUS. I would've taken a whole tub home. The Kefta lamb burger tasted delicious, not dry at all. Their feta fries were also a great addition to the combo. I can't wait to be back another time, to try more of their menu items. I get why this is a favorite for many.
