We had a delicious spread last night. I highly recommend the mezze platter and the mixed kebab plate. That is plenty of food to be shared and also gives the opportunity to try all the delicious offerings. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. The kebabs were perfectly cooked. All the spreads were great. Don't forget to get a bottle of Lebanese red wine. That was good wine as well.

As an Egyptian girly this was soooo good and made me miss home! Would recommend the sampler. What a bang for your buck! The staff was also so sweet and fun.

This family run restaurant is the top spot for authentic Lebanese cuisine in San Diego. The atmosphere transports you straight to Lebanon, and you can even enjoy a cold Almaza beer imported from there. The staff are welcoming, and every dish is seasoned just right. It's also an ideal choice for catering. The mezze platter offers a bit of everything - don't miss out on the tabbouleh, hummus, kibbeh, and your preferred meats. It might sound odd, but their French fries are out of this world. And definitely leave space for dessert; the kanefe is a must-try and won't let you down.

The food was delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. It's a small restaurant but a bit expensive. Vegan options are also available.Vegetarian options: Falafel wrap is available. But limited options only.
The best meat grape leaves served warm with yogurt sauce, just like my mom's. They were so fresh and delicious!! They were perfect!

Very delicious food, it all felt fresh and authentic, including the decor of the restaurant which seems to give us an idea of what it would feel like in Lebanon. The service was solid, and they treated us well even though we arrived about an hour or so before closing.

Went here for lunch. Was seated on patio under umbrella. Had a Fattoush Salad with chicken. So tasty. The herbs set it off! Served with a thin flat bread. Also tried a Lebanese coffee. Like an espresso but not bitter. Had a little chocolate with it, nice touch.

They did not allow me in because I was by myself, they said clearly they would prefer more people on the table for a bigger cheque/bill.

Dined in four times, 2 special occasions dinners, one lunch, and one dinner with me and just one other person. Dishes here are consistently delicious. My favorites are the hummus, lentil soup, and lamb chops. The ambiance is clean and traditional Mediterranean decor. The service is great on special occasions; the service during lunch and dinner is satisfactory but some people might say lacking. To me, it got the job done even if it has a lot of potential to be improved as far as attentiveness and disposition goes. That said, I would go back any time Im in San Diego for that lamb chop dinner.
I cannot even give it a star as far as how lame service, food, and the environment was absolutely deplorable. This place should be receiving like an absolute F in cleanliness, and should not be open.!

The best middle eastern restaurant in all of San Diego county! However, their prices are now sky high! Really this does NOT help business! We just heard from friends that they too were shocked by their recent pricing! They had the vegetarian meza platter. They said it was way too expensive for so little food! We all won't be returning! Really misguided owners who should try to keep loyal diners coming back and also for us ordering catering for parties! No more!

I drove 40 min to eat shawarma as those kind of sandwiches only lebanese are the best professional doing it the right way. Food was so delicious we had both chicken and beef shawarma as well as fatoush salad, hummus and kabab. So satisfactory.The only thing i would recommend is they should cut the tomatoes smaller in their salads the chunks are really higeVegetarian options: Many of Lebanese food are vegetarianI.e Falafel. Tabouleh. Fatoush. Zaatar. Cheese fatayer etc
