This is my husband and my favourite restaurant! We do not live close by but travel here for the fantastic service, incredible food and warm inviting atmosphere. The staff (owners?) are so lovely and make you feel so welcome.
We always get the banquet when we go there, and honestly there is so much food you cannot possibly eat it all, and it is just fantastic food.

There is no pushing you out after the meal either, even when they are busy they do not rush you in order to make the table available for the next customers.
I also suggest booking the private room with a group, as it has fantastic ambience. Low lighting, sitting around a low lying table on cushions eating divine food for a great price is hard to beat.

I would recommend to anyone! We took friends with us that had never had lebanese food, who are fussy, plain eaters and even they loved it. Even their children loved it. I have nothing negative to add whatsoever.

Average food, for someone actually born in a middle eastern environment and has a mother that knows how to cook, this place just does not do it, pricey but expected due to location and overheads, small sizing of food felt alittle like all the meals are designed to be mezze nice service, feels more like cafe food rather than dinner out for the price paid.

Terrific Lebanese food. Hard to fault it. Been twice in the past month and both times were impressed.

First time tonight at this restaurant for Shannifer and we have to say that we were happy with the overall experience. We wanted to try a little bit of a lot of things which is how we enjoy our Mediterranean/middle Eastern food, unfortunately, there were only 2 types of banquets, meat or veg, no good mixture of both.

In saying that we went with the meat banquet and the staff were more than happy to accommodate our request of substituting some of the meat dishes for vegetarian to give us a mixed banquet. Overall food and service was great, we would definitely go back.

I went with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Go for the banquet. You get a bit of everything.

I had always been intrigued by the little lebanese restaurant in the terrace, so decided it was time to check it out! My partner and I got the banquet, $40 per head! Great Value! HUUUUGE! I was uncomfortably full when I left (however, that was my own fault, the food was so tasty I couldn't stop!).

The staff are very friendly and they have traditional hubbly-bubbly pipes, I will have to try it next time I go!
