Rice was cold, staff not friendly, felt like we were bothering them, as they all sat at the bar, the waiter was okay

Excellent food and wonderful service, we felt very welcome and they were absolutely attentive to my little daughter. We were happy to discover this on our road trip.

Delicious food, friendly and efficient servers. One of my favorite places. Be sure to check out their selection of baked goods! ?
Parking: Large spacious parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Staff is very friendly and helpful. The owner when there will come and talk to you and make sure everything is good. Grew up going to grandmas every Sunday for Lebanese food. Their food is very good and the closest to grandmas that I have found.

My spouse got the chicken over rice , which he rated 5/5. I got the chicken on a rod, which I rated 3/5 for the chicken and rice portion of the entrée. I think Kabob House has better chicken kebab and rice that is much tastier. The salad that came with my chicken on a rod here was very disappointing, and I give it a 1/5. Kabob House's salad that comes with their chicken kebab is much better. The salad at this place was iceberg lettuce and tomatoes; just two ingredients and it came with dressing that tasted like oil. The dressing had no flavor. Baklava, however, I would give a 5/5 at this place, and it was much better than Kabob House baklava. They also had baklava cheesecake, which I also give a 5/5.

Really liked our first visit here. The only downfalls to me were the noise level is really high in here and I couldn't hear my wife when she talked and I ordered the chicken and rice and my chicken was barely warm and it was dry. (Heat lamp I would guess) The best part of our meal was the Kibbe, I can honestly say it was HOT, FRESH, and the absolute BEST I have ever had!!! The grape leaves also were REALLY good!

We thought...why not try a different place to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday as we love Mediterranean food. Our waitress was amazing, seemed to be the only one that cared about anything as the owner sauntered around with her nose in the air. My daughter ordered a backlatini...they didn't have the ingredients, made up some sort of martini and it was sent right back, tasted like a candle. Gyro....consisted of a pita, meat and grease, nothing else!!! We had to ask for tzatziki....grape leaves had to be sitting in vinegar for countless days, were soggy and just awful....falafel sandwich was simply awful and tasted very fishy and so did the French fries that came with everyone's sandwiches which confuses me. I've never seen French fries with a Mediterranean entre. Maybe on a kids menu portion. I've NEVER left a Mediterranean resturant feeling bloated and sick to my stomach, we left with more food than we ate. I was ill the remainder of the evening. What a celebration. When you want Mediterranean you think fresh, light, delicious....Zenobia is greasy, stale and awful. If you want this type of food in Youngstown Aladdin's is for sure the best you will have. Garbanzo is great too! I'd also like to add our bill was absolutely outrageous. I will say thank you to our amazing waitress, she had no idea we were dissatisfied with the food, as it was not her fault that the restaurant has such poor cuisine.

Our server was amazing. Our food was amazing.when I went up to carryout to order two slices of cake ----$6.99 A SLICE I was met with an incredibly hostile carryout girl who rolled her eyes and said loudly "I can't believe I have to cut cake right now!!!!" I felt really uncomfortable and offered to not order cake and just leave but then she sighed and said "it's fiiiiiiiine" as if I am still impositioning her to the highest degree. like I was asking her to climb Mount everest to collect some rare rock which she could forge a blade suitable enough to cut my cake. she then went on loudly complaining to the staff about someone wanted the manager on the phone as if how dare they ever call their establishment. basically everyone was trash to her. she cut the SMALLEST slice of cake and then for the second cake, a friendly lady, whom I am assuming was the manager, cut the other slice which was generous and properly done. by that point I really didn't want to even give them my money or the cake, but my family of 5 wanted to share 2 slices of this delicious cake when we got home tonight, so I grinned , kept silent and swiped my card.everyone has bad nights but wow, just wow!!!
