Alees Cafe’, We’re not your average copy-paste eatery. Fresh, Flavorful Dishes Made With Passion. ALEES CAFE’ is the fictitious name for ALEEBANESE FOOD, LLC. The company was established in PA in 2016 by Alee. to facilitate the cultural exchange of Food, Goods, Art, and Music. Alee, a mechanical engineer turned Middle Eastern rug and art importer turned local Lebanese food purveyor, likes to describe his journey from Beirut, Lebanon, to Lewisburg as a destiny 30 years in the making.

It wasn’t until 2017 that another important person — his first grandson — lured him back. -Bucknell University Magazine. See you Alees Cafe Team

We visited Alees Café in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, and I honestly don’t understand how it holds such a high rating. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing.
The food was incredibly bland — so bland that there was almost no flavor at all. We ordered the lentil soup with za’atar, and it tasted like plain boiled lentils with barely any seasoning. I would rate it 2/10. We also tried the chicken shawarma platter, and the chicken had almost no flavor whatsoever — not even the natural taste of the meat came through. That dish was around 3/10.
It appears to be a small, family-owned restaurant, and we really wanted to like it, especially given its reputation. However, the food fell far below expectations. After just a few bites, we couldn’t continue and ended up leaving most of the meal untouched.
Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the high rating. We were hoping for authentic, flavorful Lebanese cuisine, but unfortunately, that wasn’t what we received.

We were on a weekend away and found Alee s Cafe while searching for a tasty place to eat. Mediterranean was our preference and this was an excellent choice. Alee was the perfect host, friendly and helpful and the food was authentic and so delicious. The cafe was cozy, with attractive artwork and a small well stocked grocery section. We had the most enjoyable lunch!

First time eating here and enjoyed it. Chicken shawarma platter was excellent. Just started eating more of a mediterranean diet, and wanted to try this out. The tastes and seasons blended well and weren’t overpowering. Definitely trying more of what they have to offer.

I’ve stopped now two times and each time has been positively spectacular! I stopped in last Saturday and this one as well. Last Saturday I opted to dine in while I was running errands. I met alees and he was just so passionate about his food and truly the brightest part of that day for me. I got a gyro wrap and a pudding and he checked on me through my dining experience. He told me about his products and where he sources them from. I loved it! Today I opted for takeout and I tried the hummus platter this time and I grabbed some fresh feta in the cooler from Bulgaria it was once again absolutely scrumptious!

Be warned: ask about their Door Dash orders, which take precedence over in-person diners. We were one of three tables, and they hadn’t even started our order after more than 45 minutes – not even our hummus appetizer. Cancelled our order. Food looks good but we didn’t get the chance to taste. So disappointing and still hungry!

Absolutely incredible place. The things that matter are fantastic. 99.9/100, easy. The owner and staff are lovely people who want you to have a good time and take pride in their work. If I had to grasp for some constructive feedback, I can only think of a few things:
1. Some more Lebanese ambiance would be wonderful. The decor, lighting, and music from that region could add another level to the experience.
2. Different tables eventually (I know times are tough). As an average- or barely-above-average-height guy, I couldn’t sit very comfortably at the table without hitting my knees or being just a little too far back from the table. It really wasn’t that bad though and everything was made so quickly that it didn’t matter much. For the owners: there are lots of vintage and antique tables around here for cheap prices. Even if they don’t match, people would probably like that authentic feel more than uniform modern stuff. Maybe even traditional regional seating at low tables with lots of cushions? Probably a lot to ask, but I can dream!
3. The Turkish delight in the grocery store is likely not the Turkish delight that most Americans are expecting. Buyers: Look at the box and make sure you want to try something different because it is only slightly similar to what you’re used to. Owners: Consider getting the typical (at least in the US and UK) pink cubes with powdered sugar please?
I spent more time on the constructive feedback than the positives despite loving the place and being an instant loyal customer after my first visit. I look forward to many more meals here. I liked it so much that I instantly bought a gift card for a like-minded loved one.
Come here multiple times and try everything you can. We don’t get many cultural gems like this in this region. Please support this local business!

Authentic Lebanese food. Best lamb shawarma with garlic sauce I’ve had in years. We’re on college tour. I’d make a detour just to revisit this place on the way back. The owner is great too. No wonder it gets 5 stars across the board from so many guests.

We were so glad to finally get to stop here and grab a bite to eat! Alee was at the counter and got our orders processed quickly and was super friendly and kind! The store consists of a nice seating area and a small grocery area. We ended up getting the 4 in 1 sampler, a beef gyro, spanakopita, and some baklava for dessert. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious and generous with the food portions. The spanakopita and baklava were truly fantastic and I would stop in for these as a treat to take home anytime in the area!

Comfy and lovely Lebanese cuisine cafe. Food is excellent – my girlfriend had falafel and I tried the authentic Kibbeh. We also shared an order of grape leaves. Owner was extremely gracious. The cafe wasn’t terribly busy because it was close to closing time and so our food was ready in about 10 minutes. Would absolutely recommend!
