It is no surprise that this place is locked and chained. I try not to review a restaurant after one visit, but after spending $40 on my first - worst meal in Phoenix - ever; I could't bring myself to throw good money after bad. This past week-end I needed to be in the area and so decided to give it another try, maybe just an app or two; and behold the place was vacant ; and chained from the outside. Another tenant in the complex indicated the landlord chained the doors as the owner seems to have just abandoned the business.
On my first visit, the proprietor came by, I was the only person in the restaurant - which should have been my first clue; and asked me how everything was; I told him it was the worst meal I'd had in Phoenix; and the worst Lebanese food I had ever had, anywhere. He replied; "yeah, we're firing the chef tomorrow; come back and give us another try."!!!!! The hostess saw me photographing the food (to post); it was literally gray in color; and asked me for my driver's license!
I hope those people who purchased Groupon and restaurant.com certificates get their money back.
Someone made a large capital investment in this place; nice looking inside, numerous wide screen TVs, big patio. Let's hope that in its next incarnation, the food does justice to the surroundings.
