   The restaurant was closed. I was not notified. There was just a paper on the door with magic marker. I drove over 30 minutes. Fortunately I found a really good restaurant close by. However, I could not make a reservation because the app would not allow me to cancel the one here.

   This place is a hidden gem!! Their menu is so Lebanese-comprehensive along with lots of interesting international bits thrown in. Affogato! Delicious and quick service. If this place had a more central location it would be mobbed.

   Great food! Loved the hummus, just the right amount of garlic.

   The location is wrong on google and apple maps but once we figured out it was internal to the drive through area it was well worth it. The food was delicious, the prices quite reasonable and the young man running the place brought his family home recipes to the next level. Not a fancy expensive Lebanese restaurant with tiny portions and through-the-roof prices, this place delivers a delicious meal that will not disappoint or rob your pocket book. Highly recommend if authentic and tasty middle east food is what you are looking for!

   This is not a "fine dining" restaurant, but what it does it does very well. We've now eaten there three times and everything we've had has been excellent. My only complaint is that they close early, so it's not a dinner option. Classic local gem.

   A gem in the neighborhood! Delicious food! Lovely outdoor patio hidden from the main road! We will go back for sure!

   This very small restaurant serves excellent food and has friendly staff, but closes at 7:30pm. I intend to return to check out their brunch and to pick up take-out for dinner.
