| - I had high hopes for this place. I kind of grew up on Lebanese food. First of all, the guy at the counter was great. Nice and friendly. Seemed eager to help. Let's get to the food. The hummus was pretty good. Hummus is hard to make too poorly. This one has a LOT of lemon in it. I could have used some cumin or more cumin. Perhaps a little cayenne and black pepper too, but like I said it was fine. The beef shawarma was pretty damn good. I'll go back for that alone. The pita was soft, the tahini sauce was just the right amount of pungent. The meat was slightly stringy, but that's the cow, not the restaurant. It was done properly. Their tabouli was good. Not great, but good and fresh. Again, LOTS of lemon. Not as much as the hummus, but a lot. The pickled parsnips were disgusting. Some folks may like them, but didn't suit me at all. Same with the garlic spread. Two ingredients: garlic and olive oil. AND it's a paste. If you like garlic, you'll LOVE that stuff! My wife's chicken kabobs were a little disappointing. Overcooked, too crispy. The rice was ok. A lot was just ok. I'll go there again for the beef and would try the gyro stuff, but I wouldn't take guests from out of town. Too many other places that are way better. But this one is a few blocks from the house, so I'll go back now and then. If they stay open.
