    GF and I had a wonderful experience here. Of note the Baklava are beyond description with wicked depth of flavor such that both my GF and I found ourselves giggling while eating them. We got an assortment of different dishes so that we could try several culinary offerings. The dolmas were soooo good. The hummus was creamy and very delicious. I got the chicken shwarma and it was very nicely prepared and I would definitely order it again. The falafel were some of the best I've ever experienced. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely eat here again and I have found myself going on a slight detour to get their baklava. My fave is the pistachio baklava. I love the sensation of my teeth cutting through the multitude of flavor layers. Please do yourself a favor and eat here if but for the baklava alone which is worth the drive. The prices are also quite fair.

    This is quite literally the best food I've ever had!! I got the rice plate, dolmas, and baklava. Incredibly delicious and I suggest to try it!! So much amazing flavor and texture.

    We had heard about this Syrian restaurant in Corvallis (we live in Eugene) and had been meaning to…read morego there for dinner with friends, but it just never seemed to gel. Then, on a trip to the Oregon coast, we happened to be going through Corvallis at lunchtime and decided to stop. We are SO glad we did. All of the other Yelp reviews said it was really good, but few mentioned any specific dish. Except for the hummus, which received off-the-chart good reviews. So we tried the Lamb Hummus dish as well as the Musakhan Rolls, which is a chicken with caramelized onions wrapped in fresh grilled bread. Both were excellent with some notes. The Musakhan Rolls said they come with a garlic sauce. The sauce was excellent, but tasted more like a tart yogurt/sour cream sauce to us. Not a strong garlic flavor. The lamb in the hummus was also very good, but kind of bland. We love lamb when it is prepared well (we usually only order from a Middle Eastern restaurant) and this was prepared perfectly. We just felt it could stand a little more flavor or spice. However, the hummus. Oh. My. Word. The hummus. All of those off-the-chart reviews were spot on. The hummus had to be the best hummus we have ever had in our lives. And we eat a variety of foods from a variety of places. It was the perfect amount of garlic and so creamy, we actually used our fingers to wipe the bowl and get that last remaining bits of the hummus. Our service was excellent. It is family-owned and our server was very pleasant and hospitable. The inside is decorated in what appears to be Syrian decor and is nicely done. Now we have to connect with our friends and go back sometime soon for dinner. Yumm!

    This place is dirty and was a real turn- off. The food was mediocre and the appetizer and the…read moreentree were brought ti us at the same time. I questioned the lamb kabobs that were served to us. Instead of chunks of lamb, it was ground lamb. The manager said these were Syrian kabobs and that's the way they are made.

As a moroccan and as an arab, i'm tempted to say this food is even better than my own mother's food...i really hope my mom doesn't see this! the decor in the restaurant is really beautiful, artsy, and deeply reflective of the culture. equally, if not more importantly, the woman who owns this restaurant and prepares the food is one of the sweetest and kindest people i've ever met! not only is the food incredibly delicious and fulfilling but the hospitality is truly unmatched - i felt genuinely welcomed, almost at home, while eating here. i wish i could give this restaurant 10 stars but alas! thank you so much!

As my wife and I were driving away from Levant, she said, "Do you still taste dinner?" I replied, "Yes and it is STILL great!" My wife ordered the lamb shwarma and I ordered the Mediterranean moussaka (not the Greek moussaka...an important distinction. When we ordered there was a communication short circuit and the woman behind the counter (AND behind the phone, AND at the stove, AND restocking supplies) thought I wanted the vegetarian moussaka. When I brought the plate up and said there was no meat, she immediately brought me some super yummy lamb to mix in. (What service!) As alluded to previously, lady holding down the fort was a dynamo! I don't think she stopped moving the entire time we were eating in. On the phone taking orders...cooking...taking orders/payment. And do all this with an air of grace and a smile on her face. We will be back. Being a coffee snob, I would like to take their Turkish Coffee for a spin!

We were seated quickly and greeted warmly. There is a nice selection of imported drinks and beers if that's your thing. My friend ordered the lamb shawarma and the portion was really good - lots of meat with rice. I went off the a la carte menu and got stuffed cabbage, 2 pieces of falafel, and a meat pie. My food came with a large piece of freshly baked pita. It was piping hot and the perfect implement to eat my dinner. The meat pie was probably my least favorite because I prefer mine with a tahini sauce and the bread was a little soggy. But the flavor was there and great. The falafel was dense and tasty and came with a tahini sauce to dip in. But my favorite was by far the stuffed cabbage or malfoof. Stuffed cabbage is one of my favorite Arabic dishes and I rarely make it because of how much time it takes. I enjoyed every single bite of that cabbage roll and now it's renewed my resolve to make some at home. All in all - nice staff, good food, quaint place. Definitely check it out!

You can tell they are happy to be there and share their cuisine. We started with warm Meat Warak Enab (Grape leaves filled with seasoned ground beef, basmati rice, and chick-peas, simmered with lemon, olive oil, garlic, and herbs) and they were some of the best I've had if you compare them to dolmas. The pita bread was served in a plastic bag which is a bit off-putting (but worked great for a to-go bag and did keep the pitas warm). It was soft and fresh and tearable for their incredible hummus and baba ghannoj. I got the Maza Al-Amir "Lebanese Tour" with kharouf (which is Arabic for lamb). It was the most succulent lamb I've had in my life on a bed of basmati rice with a few raisins (they blended in well) and a tangy fresh parsley/onion/tomato/lemon mixture alongside generous portions of hummus and baba ghannooj, a chilled veggie warak enab, and a crispy and flavorful falafel with some tabooli. They also served a special house red sauce and said it was to go with the rice. I loved it; it was like a beautiful homemade marinara. My friends had Turkish coffee and the aroma of cardamom around the table made my heart warm. I'll be back! Bisehetkon! (Cheers to a group)
