My order: 2 Chicken Kabob Entrees, 1 Hummus with Lamb Entree, 1 Baba Ganoush, 1 Haloumi, and 2 Breads. Total cost $67. Total rip off!My review: Very disappointed and unsatisfied! For $67 this was horrible. When you pay that much for food you can’t really waste it no matter how bad it is. The lamb was very chewy (jaw breaking). The pita bread was not fresh at all and basically rock hard. DEFINITELY DO NOT order the haloumi. It is $9 and you only get 3 bite size pieces, extremely salty as well. Chicken kabobs were average. The only thing they got right was the hummus and baba ganoush. I do NOT recommend this place at all.

? Healthy made from scratch meals with vegan, vegetarian, and pescetarian options. ?️❤️?Some of our favs:? Lentil Soup? Fatoush Salad Vegetarian Platter? Shawarma Combo? Baklava? Event space offers tables, booths, arches, columns, and plenty of floor space (dancing anyone?) that can be decorated beautifully for small weddings, reunions, and parties! Everyday vibe is casual and low key -- perfect for solo dining, date nights, families, kids, and groups

Best hummus I’ve found in any restaurant so far! Food was good, but service was just okay. I got the steak kabobs and they were delicious, but I only got 2 skewers with maybe 6 pieces on each. Thought they could give you more meat for the price. We waited a really long time for the waitress to come out and offer refills, and we were the only ones there at the time. Then at the end, the waitress refused to take our 20% off coupon (which was new and not expired) and she blamed it on Covid. Used to love this place but not so much anymore. Last thing—the bathrooms could use a remodel and/or a really deep clean. From now on, I may only stop here for hummus if I’m in the area.

The absolute best hummus. My favorite place to get Mediterranean food in Metairie.
Food was fantastic. We ordered a variety of appetizers to share as our dinner and really enjoyed everything. The hummus was about the smoothest textured I've ever had.

I got the hummus with lamb and lentil soup. The hummus was smooth, extra whipped and a little too creamy for me. Definitely in need of something light & refreshing between bites. I asked for extra sliced tomatoes. The lamb was tough and unflavored. Soup----meh. The service was friendly and attentive though. Very few patrons on a mid afternoon, but it was raining.

Best Lebanese food we have ever experienced! Everything is fresh and full of flavor! I want to dine here everyday now. We drove from Hammond to eat here and we will gladly do it again !Highly recommend from the staff at Oracle Scalp Micropigmentation clinic(Ponchatoula La.
If a customer reaches their hand out for their money, don't bypass it to put the money on the counter. Also, no one is entitled to a tip for takeout. So yes, I want my change, especially after the first stint. I also didn't appreciate the side eye after counting direct change that I had to go back to my car for (in the rain). If it weren't for these things I would have gladly given an undeserved tip for takeout.

The meat was very tough couldn’t even get it off. The skewers hummus was good and three of us was eating. All of us couldn’t eat the meat. It was very hard to cut very hard to chew, and we left it on a plate, never offered to compensate us for the meat that we left on the platei will never go
