What customers say?

“ Mona was so warm and friendly! The food is really delicious and she let us try so many samples. I LOVE the hibiscus water drink (forgot the name, but it’s shown in the photo) We will definitely be coming back! ”

“ This little gem is a must visit!! First off the service is superb and the cafe itself spotlessly clean. Seriously the best falafel I’ve ever had (outside of the source). The mezze platter was a large portion and the perfect way to try multiple items - because YES it is all amazingly delicious! I recommend the tabbouleh, baba ganoush, and the jalapeño-cilantro hummus! We will be repeat customers for sure!! ”

“ Before even looking at the menu, she was offered us samples of all of their hummus as well as the baba. It was all so delicious it was hard to decide which one I really wanted. I decided to go with the baba and the red pepper. IT WAS ALL SO DELICIOUS!!!!! The atmosphere was wonderful, they treat you like family here. ”

“ Amazing food! Loved the lentil rice, eggplant, and the tabbouleh was perfect. Food is so fresh and all vegetarian. Highly recommend! ”

- Pooja Varma -

“ Super delicious food. Perfect for vegans and vegetarians and meat eaters looking for great flavor in their veggies. Not really a sit down place for a group. I got the platter with five choices. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the "pita". Thin and flimsy and I only received 2 pieces. Not really what I was expecting for ordering such a large platter of food. I really recommend the babaganoush, beet salad, and grape leaf stuffing... holy smokes did those knock my socks off. Service was great. Very friendly. Food was seriously fresh. The establishment was very clean. Definitely a place I'll go back to. Highly recommended. ”

- E. B. -

“ The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and made with clean ingredients. Everything tastes like real, authentic Lebanese food, and you can truly tell that it’s all made in-house. The place is spotless, which we really appreciated. Mona is incredibly sweet, generous, and kind, and made us feel so welcome. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! ”

- Mer Sam -

“ Outstanding service and incredible food! The lady who served us was super nice and welcoming, and the food was truly amazing some of the best we've had. We will definitely be back. Please support these guys! Thank you for a wonderful experience. ”
