| - Eating here took me back in time, to when I spent 2yrs in the Middle East!
The Good: Menu choices! Right down to Beverages, especially non-alcoholic Bev's. I'm talking about Mint Lemonade and a variety of hot teas plus Turkish Coffee! We got a Mint Lemonade and I was instantly transferred back to Kuwait. They brought out some puffy bread with some Olive Oil and Cracked Peppers- delicious!! The quality of the food was great!! The Khourys Salad, was just as tangy from Lemon juice, as I hoped!! My husband got the Fattouch salad with Gyro Meat- he LOVED IT! I ordered the Combo Kabob plate. This was evening, **which matters because portion & price change for Lunch and dinner**
The Negative: Why am I deducting a star? For one, the menu stated that the lunch serving size for kabobs were 2, dinner was 3 with the choice of Salad or Soup. I was looking forward to getting Tabouleh salad. But it was about $2 extra to switch the salad option. I thought I had a choice, but apparently you only get a choice for lunch. The Combo Kabob plate gives you 3 skewers of your choice of meat ($21.95 for Dinner), yet when I asked for 1 skewer to be the Lamb, it was a $2 upgrade. When I finally got my dish, the rice was cold. But that didn't bother me so much because I wasn't going to completely eat all the rice. What DID bother me, was that for $23 I got 3 skewers (Chicken, Beef, Lamb) with only 3 small to medium chunks of meat, with grilled veggies in between. Only 3 pieces of meat per skewer! I have been to many Mediterranean restaurants and all their skewers were filled with meat and the grilled veggies (onion, tomatoes, peppers) were on the side WITH HUMMUS. This dish did not come with Hummus, they did add a small amount of Cucumber Yogurt dip (which was tasty). Honestly, for a $23 diah, there should be leftovers of meat. There wasn't. They trick your eyes by putting veggies in between. The food itself was delicious. We also ordered fries on the side- because learning this was a Lebanese restaurant, we have had the BEST french fries in Lebanon! But these were disappointing. They were limp, no crispiness whatsoever. Their Garlic Sauce was on point though! As far as Ambiance goes, i felt it was too bright in there and also that they seat you very close to other people. They probably want to deal with one area, but I could literally hear the conversation at the table next to us while the rest of the place was empty (cuz this was around 10pm).
But I would definitely be back and would take advantage of their happy hour or lunch menu. But I would not order the Kebab Combo plate for dinner again, Because the portion size does not justify the cost. Service was good. Loved the music.
