Let me begin by saying that the food is very good. If you enjoy Lebanese, Middle Eastern or Mediterranean cuisine, then you will enjoy the food here. Having said that, Neomonde is far from without it's flaws, some of which are quite large. In fact, although we have been customers of Neomonde since we moved to the area 6 years ago, we are unlikely to return. Here's why:

-First, the food is expensive for what you're receiving. We spent over $80 on our last take-out order and it was enough food for two people, with no left overs except for 2 pitas.

-To make the expense even worse, every container we purchased we weighed upon arriving at home. We used a calibrated kitchen scale which is very accurate. Every container weighed less than what was purchased. For example, the "16 ounce" container of beet salad weighed 14.26 ounces. The 16 ounce container of hummus weighed in at 15.04 ounces. The 16 ounce mjedara rice was a paltry 13.91 ounces. We purchased other items as well, but you get the idea.

-On a previous visit, my wife purchased some special drink, I think it had hibiscus or lavender and was some type of lemonade, although I may be mistaken. As we have a 30 minute drive home with our take-out, my wife requested no ice so it wouldn't be watery by the time we arrived home. The young man assisting her proceeds to hand her a cup barely 2/3 full. My wife sees this, asks him, "Could you fill the cup, please?" to which he replies, verbatim, "We factor in the ice with the cost".

-Finally, the staff can be a bit rude at times. It isn't every one, but overwhelmingly, I have never felt welcomed or comfortable there.

That about sums it up for our Neomonde experiences. Again, the food has always been good and generally consistent, but for us, there are just too many other options that offer better prices, know how to treat customers as valuable as opposed to an inconvenience and actually provide you with the amount of food that you paid for.

UPDATE: In response to the owner's comments whereby it was questioned how I was able to get lemonade when it hasn't been offered in over a year: please read in the review where I clearly stated "On a previous visit..." as it pertains to the drink in question. Additionally, it shows the shortcomings of Neomonde's management that this is the only aspect of my review that was addressed. Potential customers please consider yourselves warned should you have a problem.
