Disappointing honestly. I should have known it would taste bland and be gentrified beyond belief. I’m going to be honest, it’s not worth it for the vibes/pics. Don’t believe tiktok or instagram. You’re going to get one decent pic and regret it. If you want good authentic lebanese food this is not it.

Came here for a lunch today and honestly the experience was subpar. We were seated outside and our plates were swarmed with flies and bees and despite asking the servers on multiple occasions if they could help they all seemed clueless so we were moved inside. The entrees are insanely overpriced for the quality and quality (over $20 for one skewer of chicken kebab?) which is insane. You could get really good kebab with that price point literally anywhere else. It was such a rip off. Appetizers didn’t taste fresh at all and everything was honestly pretty terrible. I hate writing negative reviews but it truly wasn’t worth it and I probably won’t come back. Food wasn’t great, service was meh, and this restaurant isn’t very baby or stroller friendly either. I don’t recommend this place if you’re looking for good Lebanese food (though they market themselves to be fine dining the food really isn’t on the level of fine dining). Anyways, hope things improve ….
