Amazing Lebanese food with a nice interior, the dip sampler with baba ganouj and hummus was fantastic. The pita chips were addicting, i’ve never had fried pita that was so light and crispy. Highly recommend the meat trio, the lamb was delicious and rice was cooked perfectly. Also the Lebanese soda is very light and refreshing. Only issue was we didn’t have any silverware or napkins when our food came out and it took about 10 minutes to wave down a server since they were so busy. We will definitely come back and try more though! ✌

Tried the meat-trio and hummus. Nothing special about the meat trio, but the hummus is good. It is rare where you can find smooth and tasty hummus in this area.

Nice and clean interior. I love eggplants but unfortunately their eggplant roll was bitter and had too much tahini. Falafel burger and Chicken Shawarma was good.
