    The best chicken shawarma I've ever had! Seriously, couldn't believe how good it was. The beef shawarma was amazing too. Can't decide which one is better!

    The best Lebanese restaurant in town! Delicious complimentary pita and za'tar, i recommend the fried cheese for starter; the mixed grill (for two people) , and shawarma plate for main order.

    Greater place for Arab food. The sampler is good for 2-3. The sheesh tauok is juicy and perfectly cooked.

    Good food... trick is to always ask for the garlic and hot sauce. Great hookah as well!

    Excellent hummus, kibbe, kebab and lamb. And the pita bread is the real thing- thick and fluffy and delicious.

    Try their Half Chicken served with rice or fries, the garlic sauce is to die for! They also offer delightful Turkish tea.

    Halloumi on the cheese plate isn't grilled. Mezzes are excellent. Try the cauliflower.

    Choose the rice over the fries. It's some of the best rice you'll have.

    1hr to order hookah, 1.5hrs waiting for hookah, 2hrs waiting for food. There were 20 people smoking shisha...some places have 100. Food was good but the price was too high especially after the wait

    Hooka is smoked on the back patio. You'll get led through the restaurant and kitchen like a fucking rock star.
