"This is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is truly cooked fresh and it's delicious! The best hummus in town - not too lemony or tangy, it literally tastes like butter because of the fresh (not canned) chickpeas they use. The same for the Tabbouli - not too tangy and not dripping with lemon juice, it's simply delicious! Babbganouj, Hashwi, Moussaka stew, gyros, everything is absolutely fresh. They do it the authentic way (Lebanese food) and it's excellent!"

"The hummus is the best."

"Incredible flavors and good variety."

"Love their grape leaves and Lebanese salad!"
