Stopped in for lunch today and ordered the Chicken Tibs. The chicken was simmered in a sauce (mild)…read morewith onions and peppers. It was served with a tasty mini salad, rice and injera. It was very good. I also ordered lemonade and it was served with dry mint sprinkled on top. Not much of a mint taste. For any of you who haven't tried Ethiopian cuisine, you eat mostly with your hands. Injera is a spongelike thin bread that you break into pieces. Hold the injera and pinch the food and eat. Very easy and tasty - kids will love it. My only concern was that the server had a very dirty shirt. He needs to wear an apron if he helps in the kitchen.

Beautifully elevated decor and really nice that the tables are not too close together in what seems like a small space. We did not have reservation as we came around 12 PM on Sunday. Service was prompt and I absolutely loved our waiter who was quite eccentric and explained items on the menu very well. The cinnamon roll had a very good cinnamon flavor and was very soft was not overpowering. The gravy was very flavorful, not too salty. The biscuits are quite large, but you could definitely see the lamination and are super tasty. The salmon Benedict was really good. The hollandaise was not too rich and had a great acidity level. The hash on the side included some sweet potatoes which was a nice surprise for such a rich dish. Prices reflect the what I would consider to be larger portions, but no shame in taking home leftovers!

When your wife and in-laws are Lebanese and make the best authentic versions of the food you've…read moreever had there's always the quest to find something close to that bar, and going to many different Lebanese restaurants around the world looking for that same quality never stops but is never met.... until that one night and one restaurant knocks you out of your chair and you can't stop thinking about the amazing cuisine right in your own backyard. This was that such night! The Awaijane family has brought their family tradition in great Lebanese cuisine since 1973 and maintained by their children generation after generation, and through their fresh grape leaves, perfectly pan baked Kibbeh (OMG and the raw!!!!), lemon kissed Tabbouleh, & authentically cured Labneh, we intended to take it to go but it was so irreisistable we sat down and ate half of it on site. Don't let the quaint store front on University pass you by, the the truly authentic food amaze you, and the family friendly service bring you back!

How is it that I have never reviewed Emily's before now? I have been a loyal customer for over 30…read moreyears and have always enjoyed this small, yet mighty restaurant. For ambiance, well, let's say it's authentic in types of a typical Middle Eastern Restaurant that is in the Middle East (not the US) meaning that it is sparse. Whatever, that's not why you come here. There used to be a woman who occupied one table peeling about 10,000 garlic cloves. Again, typical (sadly, I have not seen her lately). Service is good. There are not very many tables, so it's not much of a challenge to see the entire restaurant at one time. However, they are attentive and happy to answer all questions. Food: This is why you here. They literally (and I do mean literally) have the best Tabouli salad I have ever tasted anywhere in the world. The menu says it is made fresh every day and it is. Freshness is the absolute key to good tabouli and if it's not fresh, it's not worth eating. Let me say this again: This is the BEST tabouli you can find and if you think you don't like tabouli, at least give theirs a try. But Emily's has much more than tabouli. I love their lamb shish kabob. If you are not a fan of lamb, their chicken kabob is also excellent. Both of them come with an excellent rice pilaf. Pro Tip: You can get a full portion that comes with soup or salad, just a skewer, or half a skewer. Their humus is good, but perhaps not as favorable as other versions I've had. I can also vouch for their spinach pie, which is a great price too. And of course, you can't go wrong without a piece of baklava for dessert. They do have an upstairs eating area that is used for groups. I had not seen this until I went upstairs to use their restroom and saw it on the way. This is a neighborhood gem of a small, family owned quality restaurant. I hope they stay in business for another 50 plus years!

Really liked the fresh crispy salad and the nice char on their kabobs. Pita came warm and soft. BUT the best thing was the thick Greek yogurt sauce.

We were impressed by the new, "earthy" look of the restaurant. The menu had many appealing choices. The gluten-free items were clearly marked and although the lactose-free items were not marked, there were plenty to choose from. Our waitress was one of the best we have ever had. She was friendly, gave us great recommendations and information, kept my bottomless cup of tea full, and was very prompt throughout. We ordered salmon and told her we were going to split the meal and she brought an extra plate. The tea and soup were both tasty and hot...just like I like them. The broccoli steamed was steamed to tender perfection. The ceiling had acoustic tile so noise from other diners never disturbed our conversation. If there was background music, it was so soft I did not notice it. There was frequently a line for the two, unisex bathrooms, which were clean but perhaps a little worn. Good Earth® has returned to our list of places to eat and I highly recommend you give it a try.

The ambiance is lively but also a spot to enjoy and maybe lock in. My group of 3 was sat at this circular table, it didn't really accommodate space and our food, but luckily I was the only one with food. The coffee kind of sucks, lots of milk and not warm enough. It tastes like it should cost what it did, and my parents were upset with it. They didn't finish theirs and they're the kind of people to order multiple, so that speaks for itself. The food was okay but I don't quite understand the vibe of this place yet. It's a mix of a bakery but with food, so I can't tell if I should come hungry or plan on grabbing a bite.

The Asian salad is my…read morefavorite.Tons of crunchy veggies, topped with plump mandarin orange pieces and sprinkled with crispy noodles on top. Today, I tried it with salmon. Unfortunately, the salmon wasn't seasoned so the bland fish did nothing for the dish. A little sprinkle of salt perked it up a bit, but a bit of seasoning before hand would do wonders. Also, I though the portion of salmon was a kinda small for the upcharge. I also ordered the chicken and wild rice soup. It's chilly in my office and this soup was just what the doctor ordered. It's was hearty and filling and delicious. The portion size is only about a cup, so when I order it again, I'll be sure to order more than one. The crackers served with them were stale, so that was an unpleasant surprise. Not a deal breaker, but it might be good to double-check the expiration dates on these things. I've previously ordered the Koran rice bowl, as well. The dish itself was really good... my only complaint was that the meat was minced/shredded instead of sliced. It gave it an unusual texture, but not enough to keep me from ordering it again.

With its 5 stars & 1 dude review mentioning a French Dip, I just had to see for myself how it would rate. Freakin' 5 starts for staff right off the bat for sure! Not only did they tell me about their fancy shmansey touch screen soda/water machine, they actually walked me over and showed me the ropes first hand (maybe because I'm deaf?? Or maybe be cause they are just that awesome?!) They hand you a number to insert in the metal-post-number-holder at the table of your choice after you order and pay for your food. I swear I just sat down and got my phone out to start on my review and here comes the food before I could even log in! 5 starts for speed! Great place for Yelp peeps that have to work crazy corporate jobs with those sad short lunch breaks!! The food...if you're familiar with Crave restaurant, imagine the menu cut in 1/16th and presented deli style. Still fab only not all of the fancy items the full size version of the restaurant. I was torn between the gorgeous beet salad that was screaming "pick me! Pick me!" in the display case and the French Dip that the 1 dude review wrote about. I casually mentioned I was torn between the two and voiced my wish that I could have half of both. They said I could!!! Sigh...the gal in me that loves variety and trying multiple things was VERY pleased!
