Amazing Lebanese food! Great service and atmosphere. We had a late lunch and was totally amazing!! We got 1 plate and one assorted appetizer; it was more than enough for both of us.

This place a hidden gem (on the Mass Ave) a bit past Porter Square for authentic Lebanese food with Lebanon-imported ingredients run by Lebanese. We picked this place for a low-key celebration dinner and were very happy with the decision. We ordered: An appetizer sampler — that “poster child” you see in every Google review. Yes, it’s delicious. A side Fattoush salad — Even my salad-hating boyfriend liked it. A lamb kebab entree — tender juicy in large portions. Allegedly has more lamb than rice according to my bf. A lam kebab roll-up with a side lentil soup — very fulfilling and delicious. Pairs well with the appetizer sampler and the soup. A Halva — order the plain one in plastic containers, and you’ll be captivated by hearty roasted sesame fragrance. I won’t tell you they told me t

The reviews had me hoping for a great meal but what a disappointment. I can't believe I paid $22 for three pieces of dry falafel that didn't taste fresh and rice. The pickles weren't even good. Next time i'll go to cava :/

Nice spot for Middle Eastern food (Lebanese). The service is great. I like the falafel. I used to come often many years ago when the restaurant was in Arlington, and was happy to discover it is just as nice now.

A beautiful place a hidden gym tucked away on mass Avenue behind Davis Square The owner, Sam’s family have a beautiful restaurant and make the freshest tastiest authentic food around I love the hummus tabouli chicken kebabs. The baklava made fresh is unbelievable. I’ve been going there with my family for more than 15 years and it never disappoints. I would highly recommend everyone. They even have some outside seating if you want.
