Customer Reviews
This is an underrated GEM that deserves to be teeming with patronage. They know how to deliver FLAVOR and what they offer is just that: flavorful, aromatic, perfectly spiced and seasoned fresh delicious TOP TIER Lebanese fare. They are known for their roasted chicken, but they are bringing so much more. I think the location is tricky and makes them overlooked, so perhaps a cute outdoor patio area with hanging lights to garner the attention of busy suburban passersby would be just the thing to bring in the hoards that this cut-above culinary establishment deserves. Update Jan 25, 2026 We had our pre-storm feast yesterday at one of our favorite places, Almaza Grill. So much flavor: the way it should be. Nourishment for the soul, not just the body. Moussa is generous and kind, and he sent u
Mousa has succeeded at creating an authentic Lebanese experience in Buffalo! Best Lebanese food I’ve had in the US in years. Amazing meat quality, bread quality, sauce quality; really best food quality overall! The sauces were amazing! The prices are really good. The portions were also very generous! I highly recommend the mixed grill!
Rotisserie chicken is a must. Perfectly grilled, seasoned well and has a nice char. Skin is crispy and the meat is juicy. My wife rarely eats the breast meat but she really enjoyed this one. The superstar is their garlic sauce that brings that necessary acidity that cuts the grease bringing everything into balance. Their basmati rice and salata was really good. We also enjoyed their Kibbie, where the juices from the beef were locked in perfectly inside the fried batter. Will come back!
Lebanese food is a cuisine that has a little bit of flavor for all tastes. In WNY the options for fresh food that has layers of flavors, herbs and spices is minimal so when you find a diamond around the corner your whole palate is transported to another region of our world! I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and let me tell you their Fattoush salad is as amazing as it is in Knightsbridge, London or the Kings Road. The freshness of the sumac is addictive and refreshing at the same time and a must try for summer! Definitely try the Kibbie a delicious pocket of perfectly spiced meat and onions. And of course who could pass up Rotisserie Chicken which a 1/2 chicken comes with two sides. Try something other than fries or hummus is my suggestion, that Baba Ghanoush (eggplant) is roasted
This place gets better every time I go. It is one of the, if not THE, best mediteranean restaurants in Buffalo. Yes, because of the food. The food is consistently outstanding, hit the spot EVERY time. The portions are flavorful & generous. But also, the hospitality. Walking in there is like you've returned home to your middle eastern cousins that you never knew you had. Expert Tip: Bring people to order more & share. Don't skip dessert. Order an extra garlic sauce. Make sure you meet Musa.
