Be sure to visit the deli counter in the back to pick up some fresh feta; a dozen falafel; or a spinach-and-cheese and lamb pie (amongst others). Homemade lentil soup, too!

I love their mamoul, especially walnut, and i appreciate that it doesn't have powdered sugar on top, because then i can eat it in the car on the way home.

Best spinach pies I've ever had. Love the smoky baba ganouj and zataar chips. And so many snacks! Super nice folks. This & Taste of Lebanon across the street are my favorite middle eastern 1-2 punch

The spicy hummus here is spreadable perfection. Don't kid yourself that you can make do with only a small container of it.

The folks who work here are the nicest people on the planet. Really. The food is great, with a selection of fresh foods, grains, spices, and fruits. The people are better.
