★★★★☆ 4.0 Lilian Liu Pan · Feb 2026

A lovely family operated restaurant, where the owner couple comes to talk to each table and check what you like. They can make suggestions based on your preferences. I enjoyed the hummus and my okra soup, even though I prefer okra that hasn’t been overcooked/too mushy. Lots of vegetarian options here. The dessert was very memorable! I’ve never had anything like it. Although this is out of the way, I will come back to try more Lebanese foods which has a home cooked feel

I loved every single dish I ordered. Everything was fresh and delicious. Their flatbread was incredibly thin and flavorful. The yogurt drink reminded me of my mom’s. The flavors were spot on, and the service was excellent.

My brother had recommended this place and I wasn't disappointed. The owners, George and Samia, are the ones who serve and cook.

From the moment I walked in the door, my lunch experience was delicious and delightful. The owner George's warm greeting at the door wetted my appetite .... And his delightful wife Samia charmed me immediately,. ...and then my meal came and I can honestly say this is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. I am now a confirmed and delighted regular. Oh, BTW, you have got to try George's incredible handmade dessert Aaysh Essaraya. Blew my diet all to hell, the best dessert I have ever had, not exaggerating.
