Adam WrightMarch 14, 2018Delicious Lebanese cuisine! Come in and try anything on the menu. It’s all cooked in-house by the owner Ali. My favorite is the grass-fed lamb cooked in root beer (off the menu)!
AngelaNovember 23, 2013Had the squash stuffed with lamb and rice with a pomegranate sauce. Absolutely delicious. Also, Ali, the owner, is the nicest, which really makes it. Can't recommend enough.
Anything Ali makes is good. The grilled chicken with lentil rice is incredibly good. The mojitos are made with fresh mint from the backyard. Oh, and ask him about the leg of lamb.
Jeremy FisherMarch 23, 2014This place is a trip. Fun, one-man operation headed up by the affable Ali. Dips etc better than mains. Especially great baba ghanoush
Jag FirerwalkerApril 9, 2017The Lebanese food taste like home. All the spices are carrying you back to Beirut. Try the Keftah Kebab platter!
Nick HottoApril 13, 2016Phenomenal pina coladas, split pea soup and baba ghanoush! Ali is the friendliest restauranteur in Bushwick
Jake FarisJuly 24, 2016Everything here is delicious. Ali is an amazing chef, but it's a one man show, so service can be very slow.
Cameron GidariMarch 1, 2017Ali is fascinating, and his cooking is excellent. Swing by even for a beer just to hear him talk.
Robert GleybermanOctober 23, 2014Wow. Believe the hype. Ali is the fucking SHIT. He might talk your ear off but this food was bomb.
ask Ali if he's got anything new on the menu; he doesn't list his best dishes
