The best tripolian lahmajoun I had in my life! The kaak with cheese was also very very tasteful. Definitely coming back for more delicious treats 😊
I definitely recommend!
Un petit comptoir caché de type Mom & Pop qui offre des Kaak libanais de Tripoli. Nous avons pris un Kaak Aleppo, un Kaak zaatar/ fromage & un feuilleté à la viande c'était délicieux! Le tout pour emporter que nous avons mangé dans le parc tout près. Les propriétaires ont été si accueillants & chaleureux avec nous, nous avons adoré notre visite & nous reviendrons!

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!

If there were more stars to give i would give them, sweet kind owner who cares for his craft & loves it.
Food was amazing , fresh & with real food, no processed , no garbage, everything made in house by him & his wife.
My friend & I came in on a friday afternoon around 4 (30 minutes before closing) & he offered his care, kindness passion & amazing food to us like going home to family you haven't seen in a while.
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.
