I can not give enough stars to rate our experince today. 1st of all t Joseph the owner allowed our group of 11 to come in 1 hour before opening hours. We placed our appetizers and meals the night before. ( Interesting idea) Then today when we had arrived they had us set up on the 2nd floor. Very private. Jenn and the other servers did an AMAZING job of catering to our needs as they gave us PHENOMENAL service. The appetizers went over just as expected . There was nothing left of them as the entrees were ready to be delivered to the tables. The food was AWESOME. Perfectly seasoned and the meats were very tender and delicious. Deserts were scrumptious to say the least. They have their own bakery !!!! I will tell you now if you dont give this place a chance to amaze you , well you wont be able to blame me. On a side note, the owner Joseph even came up to chat with us. What a wonderful gentleman. We had friends fro. Egypt & Armania who complimented the Chef.

An interesting mix of Lebanese and Italian cuisine. Many choices, well-prepared. Moderate prices.

The food was really mediocre. The food arrived late and the order was not accurate. The second floor of the restaurant was noisy. We were not able to speak or even hear the waiter. I am not going back.

The food was wonderful! Highly recommend ordering the Maza Platter as an appetizer so you can try multiple dishes in smaller portions. We ordered 3 large plates for 4 people share and it was plenty. The falafel, lamb kabob, and khafta were absolutely delicious, tasted like the flavors I grew up with! Super gluten-free friendly! I got to enjoy foods I grew up with but haven't gotten to eat since being gluten free. Thank you to the kind staff, will definitely come again!

My sister and I had dinner here Friday night. First we were thrilled with the complementary basket of warm bread and pita, along with a plate of oil with herbs and seasonings. We each ordered the spanakopita appetizer. I’ve had spanakopita several times, but never like this! So yummy. Then we decided to split the mussels over linguine. Deferred to my sister's choice of white wine sauce, but asked our waitress, Lauren, if I could get a small bowl of marinara (my choice) on the side. Worked perfectly! The mussels were tender and clean, and so bountiful, we couldn’t finish! Lauren couldn’t have been sweeter or more attentive. It’s BYOB and we brought a bottle of wine, which was opened and chilled for us. Forgot to take any pics till we were done, sorry! Highly recommend this charming restaurant.

I assume the food here is good, if you can get a reservation. The good folks working front of house and on the phone are nice enough. So far 0/4 in trying to get a reservation day of. We are out of towners and only in town for other events usually spur of the moment. Will update if I ever taste the food here.

Always love this place, been there many times. Great food.
Very happy with our experience here tonight! We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and were so intrigued with the cute front and delicious looking menu we just had to give it a try. So glad we did! The food was delicious and our server (Tori) was fantastic and very welcoming. My husband and I look forward to coming back.

Let me preface this review by saying I'm having a bad day. We have a teething infant at home and nobody is getting a lot of sleep. I'm sure some of you can recognize the level of tired I'm at right now. On one hand I'm going to be snippy because I'm tired but on the other hand you have to understand how annoyed I must be to write this review instead of getting some extra sleep. Another factor to consider is we have been pampered by one of the best lebanese restaurants I've ever been to (Cafe Baladi in Frazer). Full disclosure I have celiac so any review for things containing gluten come from my wife. We will not be returning to this restaurant. I'll give you a rundown of the food from best to worst. The scallop small plate was excellent but overpriced. In case you are wondering, the market price for TWO scallops is 18 bucks. The hummus was good. It's not winning any records but still pretty good. The falafel was also pretty good but the sauce was well I don't know what it actually was because all I tasted was Franks red hot. This was confirmed by my wife. I said 'tell me what you think of the falafel sauce' and she replied 'all I tasted is what I think is Franks red hot'. She is from Buffalo and eats lots of wings. Franks red hot is a common base to wing sauce. We both know what Franks tastes like. I know there slogan is 'I put that **** on everything' but I'm not sure this is what they had in mind. The bolognase was awful. It lacked flavor and the pasta was so overcooked it was practically mush. The ground beef in the kafta platter was not salted and there was an overwhelming taste of charred meat with what I think was clove. The rice in the Kafta platter was also mush. The pita was served in a plastic bag from which the restaurant got it. I know the boiling question on the tip of your tongue is 'ooohhh where do they get their pita?' They source their pita from soumaya & Sons bakery in Whitehall, pa. The restaurant advetises that bread is made in their bakery. Perhaps only levened bread is made there - I have no idea. Maybe it's a religious thing? The baklava was soggy. I dont know how else to describe it, soggy. I tried to take a picture but soggy doesn't seem to translate to a digital format. The gluten free cookies were pretty good though.

Bad food. Bad service. Sat for an hour before they even came and took the order. Don't bother coming here. Better options nearby.

Delicious meal every time we go. The food is always fresh and service is great. It's the best BYOB in town, hands down. We love the owners and love the food! Highly recommend!!
