H HumadiMarch 17, 2016They have really tasty starters. If you only have starters and Arabic tea plus sweets, you will be having the best of this place. No need for mains! BTW I didn't like their grills at all!
Norman HobeikaFebruary 26, 2017The Best Lebanese Authentic Cuisine in New York .Best place to have your private events ever !!!Great food & the best selection of Lebanese Wine .
My favorite lebanese restaurant of all time, I have been coming here almost my whole life and the food is always fresh and amazing with service to match!!

"So delicious and so affordable! The pita they give you is actually crispy. And they have decor made of kitchen utensils. Definitely go check it out."
