⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 STARS FOR EVERYTHING!
On Fridays and Saturdays, they have a special tasting menu - GO FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. The Lebanese cuisine here is beautifully curated and the taste is out of this world transcendent!!! Joletta was our server, and she anticipated our every need. She DID NOT MISS. We had AN AMAZING experience because of her attention to detail and kindness!!
We enjoyed the dips, hummous was our favorite. Baba ganoush, labneh were a close second. Homemade pita, but I recommend you don’t fill up on this! You can take your dips to go - and they box it up for you too!
For appetizers, we tried the fatteh - buttery, crisp, umami, you name it. Rakakat was crisp and had a lemony cheese, flavors I’d never imagine.
For the main dish, we enjoyed the kawarma and halabi kebab. Lamb was extremely tender, did not taste gamey, roasted to perfection.
The dessert was the perfect layered combination of complex flavors, honoring Lebanese cuisine. The chocolate cake with pistachio and tahini caramel was chefs kiss. We thought it couldn’t get any better, then we tried the rhubarb dessert- so fresh, sour, tangy, fruity, creamy, surprise lavender pieces. I cannot stress this enough, just eat here!
There’s an option to sit indoors, at the bar, or outdoors. I recommend booking far in advance because it is highly popular and books out. The outside ambiance is beautiful. Inside the restaurant, it is a bit dark and the tables are a little small but the waitresses keep the plates moving so you never feel like the tables are too small!
Parking is free on the street in front of the restaurant but it can get crowded at dinner time because it is a residential area. They serve coffee and tea and sell merchandise in the storefront before the hostess stand.
