Dont go here unless you need a new addiction. The food is amazing. I think I saw some other reviewers on Yelp say the portion sizes are small. But I had to wonder, are you people cows or something? I am a really big eater and the 2 meals I typically get are both enough to make me feel (almost too) full. I love the chicken kabob platter, which comes with a section of fresh bread and homemade hummus. Then it has chicken kabob pieces over rice with a side of garlic aioli. It also comes with a side salad. The dressing is really zesty (but not spicy), with garlic and possibly some ginger. The salad is not elaborate- it is pretty much lettuce, shredded cabbage and carrots. My other favorite is the chicken shawarma platter, which is a chicken shawarma sandwich with fries and a side salad. Except I dont care much for the fries (mostly because the salad is yummier as far as I am concerned) so I just get double salad. The bread on the sandwich is awesome. Lettuce, tomatoes, chopped seasoned chicken with some sort of fluffy soft pita bread. Get a cheese pie and ask them to warm it up. They make several types of baklava- walnut, pistachio, almond. I tried the almond and it was good. The place is a take-out/counter order restaurant. It does take them a bit of time to make the food sometimes (like the kabobs). Its well worth the wait. The decor/atmosphere could use some updating. It doesnt have much of an ambiance factor. Just saying. But the food is great, so who cares?

Not even a mediocre Lebanese restaurant. The kibbeh, and sambousick are pre fried, and when you order them they put them in a bowl, and microwave them instead of cooking them to order. The falafel was flavorless. The Shawarma was overcooked unflavorful tiny little cuts of meat. The pita was cold and dry. Will definitely never go back. Some places have a bad day, but a Friday at 5:30 you should have your stuff together.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. This is pretty mediocre Lebanese food based on the limited items that I tried. I got a shish tawook sandwich, toum (garlic sauce) and tabbouleh. The only thing that was really up to snuff was the toum. The pita is pretty generic and the bread they use for the sandwiches is greek style flat bread. It is more of a deli and I wouldnt recommend the cooked/restaurant items.

My wife will often stop here on her way home from work to grab dinner for the 2 of us. The food is always excellent and the portions usually border on just a little bit much for one serving. Definitely a great value. The garlic sauce they offer with most of the food is really strong, so start out slowly.

Just about everything I had was great. I will particularly recommend their avocado salad and rice pudding. I got the latter warm, and intended to eat eat just a few bites after dinner and wound up eating the whole thing.

Outstanding Lebanese-style food. Service excellent, decor average. Limited seating but take-out is their primary business model. Great value for great food.

Hibachi was excellent, with a good chef. Make sure you have money though, they will confront you if you leave to small of a tip. Still, worth every penny!
