Finally she made reservations for Saturday evening (it is recommended because they get super busy). We got there and was greeted by the owner. BTW, was very down to earth. So their menu looked good (Lebanese food). There is so much to choose from and hard to decide. I especially loved their drink menu, especially wines. We ended up ordering: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches Almaza Pilsner My favorite from the appetizers is the eggplant and falafel! Super fresh and the bread that came with it was so good. Even the dipping sauce was amazing. My Shawarma chicken was super delish. You have to put the garlic butter on the rice! It gives it great flavor. My Mr enjoyed his meal as well. We definitely had to get a to go box because there was so much food. But we will look forward the next day to eat it. Overall, the service was great and I loved the experience. We can see ourselves coming back for more! I can see why my best friend loves it here! Highly recommend you try it.

The food was fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was very laid back. We even met the owner who was immensely friendly and welcoming. We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. For weekends, reservations are strongly recommended because they get busy FAST. They're only open for dinner hours too. Their menu is pretty big with a plethora of options to choose from including lots of appetizers, flatbreads, shawarmas, kebabs, falafel, and lots of tasty desserts. Their libations menu was very nice too, with numerous options for beer, wine, and spirits. (Try the Almaza for a crisp and tasty Pilsner) all at great prices. Here's what we had: Appetizers: Baba ghannouge M'hammara Taverna falafel Dinner: Shawarma chicken Kebab mixed grill Drinks: Chateau kefraya, Les Bretches red wine blend Almaza Pilsner Hoegaarden Belgian wit bier They also give you unlimited fresh pita bread with a delicious dipping sauce.

We usually get the blue bread, which is really good and comes with a fantastic tomato based oil sauce We always get the chicken skewers, I have enjoyed the regular chicken skewers over the chicken Adonna skewers, but that's just because of a flavor preference. We have taken some friends here as well, and they love it too. We recently had the Turkish pudding, and thought it was fantastic, though not the best we've ever had. They once gave us a free tea, and we thoroughly enjoyed that as well. We intend to come back over and over again, because if it's convenience and incredibly delicious food. Highly recommend for anyone else who is in the area.

From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their service truly made the night special.

And great gluten free options!! This was our first visit, but it certainly won't be our last. Even when we left later in the evening, the restaurant was still buzzing with people, which really says something about how great the food and experience are. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Beautiful restaurant. So many little details to appreciate…read more Kebabs were amazing. I definitely want to come back to try some of the different styled ones. The lentil soup was lovely. Very similar to Dahl, just a thinner consistency. Felt just like home haha. Wasn't the biggest fan of the Kuzacha Shurpa. I know for next time, it was just very subtly seasoned. I'm sure that's how the dish is supposed to be, just not my style. The only thing that upset me is they had a lot of stuff on the menu, that they didn't have. Such as some of the salads. They had a big selection of everything though. The service was great. It was slow when we went in, but it was around 3-4pm on a Saturday. We were served and seated very quickly. Definitely will be revisiting- and I'm curious , is it really open 24/7 haha.

The gyro meat was a bit dry and the lamb patty was undercooked (ground meat should be cooked thoroughly for safe consumption, I don't know why restaurants all serve it pink in the middle). The rice was very simple, not much flavor. We didn't know it came with salad or we would have asked them not to include as we don't eat salad. I did taste it and it was bland for my liking. Also iceberg lettuce is really the worst. Grape leaves are very good. Tastes fresh. Would order again. It was also served with bread but I like to dip it in hummus or yogurt dip and that was not included so we didn't eat it. I took a bite and it seemed ok. Overall, not a ton of flavor in what we ordered. My fiancé called it safe. I would have liked to see some sautéed vegetables included instead of salad but that is my preference. I'm not sure we will return, as it was pretty mediocre.
