This is a great spot to get your fix for Lebanese food! Everything here is amazing. My all time favorites here are their flat breads, such as their chicken tawook & the shawarma. We've also tried their appetizers such as the kibbie, which is a ball of fried beef, nuts & veggies; their grape leaves, which are stuffed with veggies & seasonings. Both were great. Also, Apparently it gets packed here so some people call ahead to make reservations, so keep that in mind!

Awesome spot to try out Mediterranean Lebanese food in San Diego.3 of us ordered:-chicken tawook-Sayyadieh (Fisherman's Rice)-Ouzi LambChicken tawook (flatbread) was extremely tasty and very unique. The other two items were their top 2 most popular dishes (rice dishes). The flavors were great! If it is a small group, I would recommend only picking one of the rice dishes so you don't carb overload.Food definitely comes out a bit on the slower end. For the value, I did wish they provided more food. Staff is friendly. Owners/chefs made their ways around tables to check in. I'll be back for sure to try out different items on their menu!Extremly limited parking out front...otherwise, street parking.

It's okay. We ordered beef shawarma, kibble, falafel wrap, and lamb kabobs. The food was a bit pricey for the quality. The falafel wraps were very bland. All you taste is the pita. The pickled vegetables were flavorless. The falafel was flavorless. I was told that this was the highlight of their menu. Maybe it was an off day or maybe they changed the recipe, but I was disappointed. I wouldn't recommend it.The shawarma was bland too. You can taste a bit of herbs in there. I guess if you're not a fan of spices or bold flavors you might like this. The lamb was the same.The rice was nice. Not too dry.The star of the show was the Kibbeh. Pretty expensive for two, but at least it tasted good. The outside was crispy and the inside was juicy. The inside was fragrant. I would recommend these.Overall, I was disappointed but would probably come back for the Kibbeh.

WOW did this place meet their reviews! We enjoyed everything ordered and part of the charm is absolutely the owners interacting with the customers.They helped mom decide what to order whereas I was in the mood to explore. We even found something for dad that made him happy (he's your standard hamburg or Costco hot dog kinda guy!).We ordered enough that we were to have a full meal the next day! Lebanese Moussaka was incredible. Eggplant base with chickpeas and other ingredients it wasn't what we're accustomed to having but really hit the spot. The bread other items were served on were out of this world delicious! And dessert was a really wonderful sweet surprise.We'll be back!

Great atmosphere and amazing service. And the food is even better! Fresh ingredients with bold flavors. Some in our party are vegetarian and we're very pleased with all the options. The owner came to check on us and see how we were enjoying our meal. Highly recommend this place.

I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The inside looks much bigger than it seems from the outside and the staff was all incredibly helpful. We had a few questions about the menu and they were happy to answer all of our questions. They also asked "do you want my recommendation?" And you should say "yes" every time. The lamb was cooked perfectly and I loved the flatbread that we all got to share. Looking forward to coming again!Oh and it was definitely the best felafel I've ever had too!

This is my favorite Lebanese food I've had. I ordered three flat breads and all three met my expectations. My favorite was the Chicken Tawook "Chef's Kiss." The service was great as you will be greeted by the owners who are the nicest people you will meet and they make you feel so welcomed. Definitely has a very Lebanese feel inside the restaurant and makes for a memorable experience. Parking can be difficult, but this restaurant is definitely worth it.

I came here with. my family for my birthday dinner. The place had comfortable seating and good lighting. They had a table reserved for us and all the food was fantastic. The service was quick and efficient and the head chef was talking to tables making sure everyone was enjoying their food. At the end of our meal, they brought a dessert and had the whole restaurant sing Happy Birthday. The head chef recorded the whole thing on his phone and sent it to my dad. This is above and beyond what family dining should be. New Favorite restaurant!

We randomly walked in here last night. Both not having any experience with Lebanese food and/or knowing anything about this place. Immediately we felt welcomed and that we were somehow "home" at someone's place. The lady (I assume owner, hate how I didn't get her name) came over, sat at our table and asked what kind of food we liked and ordered everything for us. She nailed it! The best food we have had in a long time. This place was incredible, warm, and everyone that works there is so genuine. Truly will be dreaming about our meal and the experience! 10/10. I even hugged her on the way out, couldn't resist!
