This place offered an authentic experience of Kaak for me & my wife. I am from the North of Lebanon, Kaakouna knew how to take me back in memories from the first bite !!!
I searched on google lahmajoun place & I found this gem of a business & owner. The food was phenomenal. Everything was so clean. The food was amazing & even though I live far I'll make sure to make the trip 🙏
The food was absolutely delicious & truly authentic. The owner was very kind & welcoming, took the time to explain the menu to us, & made us feel right at home. You can really tell he cares about both the food & the experience. I would definitely recommend this place & will gladly come back.
Cannot recommend enough, you can taste the elevated quality. Kaak absolutely delicious, with mafroukeh was a real delight, & the manaeesh, wow, (on weekend) is superbe. To the warm & welcoming owners, shukran!

Les propriétaires sont super sympas & vous font sentir comme chez vous, vous rappellent du goût du Liban & son authenticité & partagent leur humble histoire avec vous tout en vous offrant l'expérience de Kaaké la plus savoureuse.
A hidden place in a residential area that you should seek out. Very tasty pastries with cheese, za'tar, meat, & more. Even my toddlers loved the cheese kaake.
Watch out though the place is takeout only, but I knew that already walking in still loved the food & owner is very nice.
