Read moreI went to this restaurant based on the five start reviews on google yesterday! And boy, I was disappointed!
Despite the veneer of friendliness from the staff and the cleanliness of the establishment, adorned with nostalgic decorations reminiscent of Beirut, my expectations plummeted as soon as I sampled the fare. As someone deeply appreciative of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, my disappointment was palpable.
We ordered a starter featuring hummus with meat, batata harra, falafel, and bread, hoping for a taste of home. Instead, we encountered a dismal display of culinary incompetence. The falafel, undercooked and devoid of flavor, resembled more a culinary mishap than a cherished staple. The batata harra was a sad sight – limp, oily, and evidently past its prime, with a chilly core that betrayed its lack of freshness. Even the flatbread seemed to have lost its soul, devoid of the homemade charm that distinguishes genuine Middle Eastern cuisine.
The main dishes, including the musaqa and lamb (#38 on the menu, cannot recall the name of the dish), were no better. The musaqa bore a striking resemblance to undercooked tomato passata, with ingredients seemingly thrown in as an afterthought. Even my husband, typically an enthusiast for all things culinary, couldn't stomach more than a few spoonfuls.
All in all a disappointing culinary experience, failed to deliver on its promise of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, offering instead a disheartening array of lackluster dishes at exorbitant prices (for what you get). Save your money and your palate by seeking out more genuine Middle Eastern fare elsewhere. I am still...

The atmosphere was really welcoming with beautiful, colourful decorations, flowers and traditional music in the background. From the entrance lovely Asfur was very attentive and friendly to us. After sharing information about trying Lebanese food for the first time, he suggested and described some dishes. We ordered absolute feast trying hummus, kibbeh, mutabal, sujuk, moussaka, main dish “kosa bilaban “ and for desert fried cheese dumpling with ice cream and pistachios “quatayef”. The food was delicious, authentic and fresh. Presented beautifully with garnish on colourful little plates, filling up whole table! My very favourite finger licking food was the main dish and hummus! The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive. I really recommend this place especially if you planing to try new cousin but also for anyone who likes delicious food in lovely surrounding!
Thank you so much for having us. We definitely...
