"Probably the best lebanese food in town. The raw kibbe is fenomenal. The lamb kebab divine and the grape leaf rolls are the best."

"Had an interesting wine list with very good Lebanese wine. Hummus and Shankleesh apps were phenomenal, but entrees were mediocre at best. Lamb was dry and lacked flavor. We were there on the early side but the restaurant was completely empty. Guessing that is due to the entrees and prefix being a bit over priced."
