I have known this family and worked with this restaurant for over 20 years, and every single time I am here, it truly feels like a blessing. This is a Lebanese, family-owned restaurant where the love, care, and heart are felt in everything they do.
The food is absolutely delicious, made with soul, tradition, and passion. Beyond the food, what truly sets this place apart is the people. Everyone who works here is kind, caring, and genuinely loving. The energy is warm, welcoming, and uplifting.
As a performer, I have done many events here, and they always take incredible care of me and everyone involved. Their events are high-vibe, beautifully organized, and extremely professional. The owner and staff go above and beyond, whether it’s catering, private parties, or regular service, everything is done at the highest level.
The guests who come here bring beautiful energy as well, which speaks volumes about the kind of place this is. If you’re looking for amazing food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere filled with heart and joy, this restaurant is truly something special.

Sadly, not a good ambassador for Lebanese cuisine.
I grew up on middle eastern food, so was excited when a friend asked for an introduction. We found this restaurant on Google Maps, the menu looked promising and the reviews were favorable.
We walked in and the restaurant was pretty empty during dinner time. That should have been a warning sign.
But the server was so nice and welcoming that we decided to stay and ordered a selection of items so that my friend could try more things.
And what a disappointment that was…
The hummus was bitter, the kebbeh (that’s how the restaurant spells it) was cold inside (probably reheated in a microwave), the pita bread must have come from a plastic bag, the kafta was too dense, the meat shawerma (again, restaurant spelling) tasted like reheated meat in a pan, the rice tasted soft and soggy (like when you reheat rice in the microwave with too much water), and the falafel…I asked my friend not to taste it so not to get the wrong idea about what falafel should taste like. The rest was serviceable at best.
Bottom line – I had to apologize to my friend and buy ice cream at the nearby ice cream shop for dessert, just to make up for the bad experience.
At home, I looked back at the other reviews, and suspect that either the restaurant changed chefs recently or the reviewers are not really familiar with authentic Lebanese cuisine.
I am really sorry that I have to write a negative review but this restaurant should urgently make changes in the kitchen.

This was my first visit with friend of mine. Appetizer came out with so freshness and nice flavors, enough making my mouse watering.
Main disk, especially chicken and lamp, was so juicy, soft and crunch surface. How come these different stuff harmonized well together. Awesome place to come back!

I really love this restaurant, not only for their live music and belly dance, but also for the amazing food. I wish this restaurant was closer to where I live, but it’s worth the drive. I love going here for their beautiful dance parties, live music and food. When I go there, I feel like I’ve been transported into a different time, which I love. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant, with delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere and ambience .

Stopped here completely randomly and was BLOWN AWAY by how delicious the food is !!! We had the chicken & garlic plate, along with the lentil soup and vegetarian platter. The hummus was fantastic, and legitimately the most tasty garlic fries i’ve ever had. Our hostess/server/manager? (the only woman working) was so sweet! Will definitely be returning

This is an iraqi-lebanese restaurant, very authentic, we tried over 10+ dishes, with a group of Arabs and everything was perfect, 100% authentic like being in the middle east. This is the best Arabic food in the bay area hands down, it’s a must try place. The only place that has stews that you will never find anywhere else. The service is great, the owners are very nice, the atmosphere is calm and elegant ,and the energy is beautiful. I would go every day if I could. The prices are very reasonable for the high quality food.

Awesome food with really authentic flavors. Service can be a bit slow but I don’t mind that for the quality of the food.
If the restaurant was a little more upbeat or maybe played Lebanese music I would come here all the time. I ordered the semak harra (spicy fish) and it was really awesome – not too spicy at all!

Really amazing Lebanese food, their veggie combo is to die for. Crispy falafel, delicious hummus, stuffed grape leaves, and yummy tabouli! One of my favorite places on the 25th!

This is just an amazing experience: tasting the “kibbeh” from middle-east. I’m from the middle east and definitely this is the best Kibbeh, also known as ” içli köfte ” in the west coast.
Besides that, friendly staff and just great prices for their food! I also like the indoor design. This will be a great choice for a dine-in option after all pandemic is over.
