Dropped by as I was in the area and craving Lebanese food. This place did not disappoint whatsoever. I ordered a beef kebab sandwich with a side of tabbouleh. The service was top-notch and the staff is very freindly. The food was unbelievably flavorful and very fresh. You can tell they have good quality ingredients and take pride with their cooking. I highly recommend you check this place out if you want very good Lebanese and Middle Eastern food. This place is truly authentic and sets the bar for true Lebanese food. Must visit! I will be back again soon, thank you for a wonderful experience!! - Nader S.
