Food was disappointing. The hummus & the stuffed vine leaves were so acidic I could barely finish them. The kefta dish with minty yogourt was also extremely acidic but also too minty. You could also tell that the skewer meat was very dry. Service was good & prices were fair. Will not go back unfortunately

The food was alright, the restaurant was overall very loud, & the service was okay.

All in all, the restaurant was okay, but we wouldn't go again.

The food was tasty but the portions of the appetizers were ridiculously small! I haven't been to a Middle Eastern restaurant serving small portions like this! What happened to middle eastern hospitality? I don't mind paying more for a more welcoming meal. The portions of the main dishes were good but the presentation was too plain!
The ambience is Ok.. no liveliness!! More on the formal side!
I am from the Middle East & I won't go back!!

Nourriture Syrienne, libanaise & turque délicieuse, avec beaucoup de saveurs & d'épices qu'on arrive pas à reproduire aussi bien à la maison. Tout est frais & le service est super amical & attentionné. Ça vaut le coût!

We love discovering new restaurants & new cuisines. Great friends of ours suggested this restaurant Alep & as usual this was spot on. I expected Syrian cuisine yet it is both Syrian & Lebanese with a twist of local. Good selection of Local brewery beers & huge wine list. The food well lots to choose from. We selected a salad & two appetizers Hummus & a Eggplant mashed all three were great. As a group when possible we have a platter so we can all pick from. So we had a chicken & meat platter. Everything was delicious. Definitely a place to go back too. Best part is the price. Really affordable. Quality, selection & quantity all excellent. Service was great no rushing us out, atmosphere was good not over crowded or squeezed in corners etc.
Strongly suggest to try this restaurant Alep .

La cuisine était bonne mais le service laissait à désirer. Nous avons attendu de longues minutes pour être servis. Au total, nous sommes restés 2h & n'avons reçu que nos entrées.
