Absolutely amazing authentic Lebanese breakfast!

The fatteh & fool were flavorful, fresh, & perfectly prepared, & the zaatar cheese man2oushe was delicious with the perfect balance of crispy dough & flavor.
Everything tasted homemade & authentic.

On top of the excellent food, the staff were so friendly & welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you're looking for a true Lebanese breakfast experience, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

On another note, the mana'ish dough didn't feel as great but I'd still give it a pass.

I'd definitely come again.

Special thank you to Mike & Charbel

From the moment I walked into Balila, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, & filled with the comforting aroma of authentic Middle Eastern spices. Every detail - from the elegant décor to the friendly smiles of the staff - makes you feel right at home.

The food? Simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor & freshness. The balila was silky smooth, the manakich perfectly crisp on the outside & fluffy inside, & the eggs were seasoned to perfection. You can really taste the care & passion that goes into every plate.

The service was exceptional - attentive without being intrusive. The staff took the time to explain the dishes & even offered great pairing suggestions. It's rare to find a place that balances quality, hospitality, & authenticity so well.

If you're coming for a casual meal, Balila delivers a dining experience you'll want to repeat again & again. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates amazing food !

It's a beautiful concept, but it unfortunately doesn't go beyond being a concept.

The food & space is clean which is great. Bathrooms would take some more cleaning.

The food would greatly benefit from more flavour, better presentation & the touch of authenticity compared to it being treated as a business.

Food was left on the counter for a bit, the server gave us tissues but then placed them literally on the food 🫤. Also. I am not sure about chewing'munching' gum while taking the order.

I wish you guys all the best! Would love to see improvements to make it more of an experience 🤍
