Review Summary

Laffé impresses with fresh, authentic Lebanese flavors, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming vibe with consistently friendly staff. Dishes like sujuk and shawarma are praised for bright, fresh taste and quality ingredients at very reasonable prices. The falafel, kafta arayes, and tawouk are described as perfectly seasoned and juicy, with the toum garlic sauce and ayran adding distinctive finishing touches. The overall atmosphere, service and attention to detail make this spot a reliable, satisfying choice for a quick and delicious meal.View restaurant profile
