I have visited Monaia Mediterranean Cusin restaurant first time. I'm not local, I found them on Google. I visited there and ordered my food to go. From the moment i walked in, i knew the food will be good there. The place is clean, they had, big selection of food and pastries, to top it off, they also had special Arabic coffee that they prepare in a send. The service was very friendly and pleasant. It felt like "home". The food is delicious, flavorful and balanced. I really like this place, I give five star and I wish them to succeed because it's really a good food. Ehab surprised me at the end by giving me Lebanese style sweet, to go with my order. Thank you all, for preparing a good food. Extremely satisfied. God bless you all.

We went in for Iftar, the hostess looked like she could not even be bothered with us. Basically, go figure it out ourselves, and in the end they had no space for us to sit, so we decided to order out. We waited in the car while the food was being made, and when my brother went in to get the food, the cashier said that they could have seated us if we came “10 minutes later”. My brother said, okay can you seat us now, and apparently the kitchen “is backed up” even though our food was done. The food was okay at best, if you are Lebanese, you would not be satisfied with the quality/flavour. As well as, the service and atmosphere,were not welcoming or hospitable. It seems like you need to know the owner to be given the time of day.

Absolutely outstanding! I was in the valley and in the mood for some mixed grill kebab and luckily, I found this place. Every single thing was honestly perfect and it was the best hummus I’ve ever had in the United States. I spent a lot of time living in the Middle East, and this was on part with some of the Top restaurants places out there if you want real Lebanese food that taste like home cooked Then definitely go here. I will definitely be back here soon.

So excited to have Lebanese food in our neighborhood! I think it’s better than places across the Valley. Had the Shish Tawook and Lamb Chops. Everything was made perfectly. The falafel had the perfect crispness on the outside. Our new family favorite! The Nayyeh tastes just like what we had in Beirut. Chicken tenders were perfect for the picky kids. Beautiful inside and easy parking. Will be back!
