I rarely give 5-stars for a review....this one deserves it. Having an Israeli wife, I am no stranger to middle-eastern food, so the standards are high. Starters were Baba Ganoush & Hummus with Shawarma. Both were phenomenal. Great flavors, & beautifully prepared. I had the lamb kebab for my main. The chef's refusal to cook the lamb below medium was quite disappointing, but the falvor was there, even if it was a bit over done. My wife had the armenian kebabs & they were extremely tasty, even if the pita to wrap them was served under & too saturated in oil to work as a wrap. The portion of Sumac fries you get for 9$ was quite plentiful. Would return without hesitation.

•Baklava Pancakes •Lamb Reuben Must get every time. That's the best lamb sandwich. My favorite lamb sandwich ever. The baklava pancakes are one of the best pancakes this city has. Probably my 2nd fav pancakes

Finalement visité cette salle à manger Libanaise. Personnel souriant, service efficace & surtout leur brunch. Benedictine Shawarma généreuses portions savoureuses & l'omelette Soujouk. Les crêpes «Baklava » servies chaudes avec ricotta ,pistaches & croustillants de baklava ...un régal. On y retourne pour essayer d'autres plats
