You can smell Syria and Damascus inside this place. The wall art is AMAZING.The food is goodI like the hard drinks collection they haveYou will have the best hooka flavors, too.Some times they have a live singer and a belly dancer call a head of time and ask.It is a great destination when you're in ArlingtonVegetarian options: Mediterranean salads like tabouleh and fattouch are great optionsYou can ask the chef for the daily specialsKid-friendliness: They don't provide kids mealsParking: Parking is very limited to a few cars in front of the restaurantWheelchair accessibility: It is on the ground floor, yet the door is not wheelchair accessible

Generous portions for the price, food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. I had hummus w beef schwarma and grape leaves.

It’s a little sad to see so many good reviews when the food was not great. Only reason I’m giving two stars, it’sbecause of their service. Firstly, food wasn’t seasoned enough, the beef shawarmas were overcooked and had almost no seasoning whatsoever (not enough salt as well). The grill kabobs were also dry and hard to eat after it went cold. Also, we ordered the knafeh (which they said they ran out, then came back and said they actually had it) and it was one of the worst knafehs we have tried. The cheese was almost nonexistent, it smelled like old butter and it had a very carrot buttery taste. We couldn’t even finish it. Overall, a few items were decent such as the ozie shawarma and the lemonade with mint. Lastly, make sure to inspect carefully the check before putting your cards down, since it seems the restaurant menu has different prices than what they actually charge. The overall total didn’t add up to what we ordered base on their menu prices, don’t make the same mistake as us.

This was a very pleasant experience with a genuine Lebanese dining experience. Not just the food, but the drinks and food were high quality and the staff professional. We will likely go back for live music.

We tried this restaurant, service was good and food was very delicious. The owner mentioned that there will live music and events on Fridays and Saturdays so she encouraged us to come

This place has great service as the waitress was patient with our large group and our orders. The ambiance was good with nice decorations and I have heard they have live music occasionally. I am giving low rating due to the quality of food and it's price. I understand the economy is bad but this place overcharges for low quality food. The chicken kabobs were tough and over cooked. The rice was also over cooked. We ordered dessert and it was falling apart. Disservice to Lebanese and Syrian cuisine tbh

Some of the best kunafa in the DMV and the interior of the restaurant is absolutely stunning.

DELICIOUS FOOD BY ALL MEANS. EACH AND EVERY DISH REMINDED ME OF HOME. THE OWNER IS VERY GENUIN AND WELCOMING! THE REAL HOSPITALITY OF THE MIDDLE EAST IS HERE!! WHETHER IT IS THE MIX GRILL PLATTER , EGGPLANT FATOUSH, OR THE TABOULI AND MORE!! ALL AMAZING FLAVORS. EVEN COMING AND DRIVING FROM RICHMOND, IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE! WE WILL BE BACK SOON FOR SURE ❤
Super friendly staff, Turkish coffee is pretty strong and the lamb fatteh was amazing.

If you ever want to try real Middle Eastern food, you must go to this place. They don't have Egyptian food but they have Halal meat and lots of different dishes from the Arab world. Super healthy, owner or management is beyond friendly, she works super hard make sure that everything is beyond the expectations. They tend to have hookah, there is an outdoor seating, hookah indoors I believe in the back, and from everyone and then they would have a band, I love music playing and what a wonderful experience and atmosphere. You must try the Kebba. The restaurant also has what I do believe a full bar, they also serve orzo which is a Lebanese drink very hard to find anywhere and they have two outdoor seating's one in the front one in the back.It doesn't look like much from the outside but once you go inside the vibe changes, the food is beyond wonderful, super fresh, best Fattoush and Tabouleh I've had in my life, highly recommend

This was my 2nd time having their lamb and again it was amazing. The Mousakaa was rich and flavorful. I'm not a vegetarian but I can't wait to have this dish again. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We'll be back!

Great late dinner !The staff is so nice and The place is very comfortable and very beautiful. The lemonade is basically a slushy of a virgin mojito, that's awesome!! We try the lamb kabob, it’s was really good and the price is very worth it.
