AFTER THEIR RESPONSE, I'M OBLIGED TO CHANGE MY REVIEW FROM 3 STARS (it was just to help them) to 1 STAR. When a business doesn't recognize its mistakes, it's time to make them pay for it. As a response to theirs, bare in mind I tried a lot of Lebanese food and your shop it's nothing but a mere tourist trap venue. Everything you stated is false and all the products you use are frozen, the chickpeas plate is made out of things you buy for 1 euro at supermarkets=basic and tastes below average. As a proof I'm not a crazy person I will attach the wolt review I gave the restaurant.
Just tried the food from this place using wolt+ and what can I say.... ....I am Italian so unfortunately hard to please and I tried many Lebanese Street food venues and even Lebanese mid-range restaurants so I think I can have a good understanding of this cuisine.
Let's start by listing what I ordered + my review + suggestions :
Zaatar and Cheese Manakeesh: The dough is not good, it seems like they bought it frozen and just heated it up, the toppings were very good though I liked the thyme part. A suggestion: Make the dough handmade or focus on making it crispier or softer.
-Fattet Hummus with extra veggies: Not bad and nice idea of giving all the ingredients for me to make it on my own, it's kinda heavy though and can't finish it all if you ordered other things. A suggestion : less oil and maybe add some lemon to receipe if possible.
-Fried Eggplant and Cauliflower : They were good and actually loved them but the portion quite small and unfortunately the veggies were too oily, maybe use an airfrier? suggestions: less oil and more pieces.
-Fatayer Spinach: I think they buy these in bulk because doesn't taste anything different than a small fried dumpling with unfrosted spinach inside.
-Chicken tawook: okayish..., nothing to remember of.
-Mini Pizza : Same as the Fatayer, if they make it homemade I think they should reconsider something in the receipe cause tastes very bland.
The idea behind is cute and I loved the "habibi stickers" but Greeks will not buy your tawook if it's not as good as their souvlaki. If you wanna make a good tawook go and try the ones from the Egyptian falafel place in Athens : Al Sharq in Vathis -their shish tawook are shockingly amazing. Simply the best in Athens (you can find the review in my profile).
Overall, I would not come back unfortunately unless they change their menu and make the food taste better.
