Done right!
Atmosphere: So what makes reviewers credible? for one - their experience ... just so happens I've got a little extra for this review seeing as to how Mum & Dad are Lebanese :) and therefore by extension so am I. The atmosphere here is absolutely Lebanese - spot on - from the Fairuz music in the background, to the way the goods are presented ... it's simple, it's homely, it is very casual authentic and doesn't try to be more than what it is - just a place to get a damn good Man'ouche :)
Food: Hands down - the best of the rest. You have your al Taib's and Arouch etc. - but this place makes the tastiest Mana'eesh (plural for Man'ouche) ... and not just that - they've got more than 2 dozen different toppings. Soujouk? check! Cheese? Check! Labneh (sour yogurt) double check! all here and more!
They use Saj bread which is thinner than the regular pita - so for those looking to watch their intake of carbs this is good, however given how good thier food is - you cannot have just one! (I dare you to try!)
best for breakfast (that's how the Lebanese have it) or for a mid-day snack / lunch.
Service: Counter servie - and on busy days some table service. The owner and his wife are there most of the time - him cooking and her serving - again very Lebanese of them. Kind, curious, and very efficient - I appreciated their work (I didn't tell them that I was a Yelper or that I was Lebanese!)
a very good place to have! Must visit again (and again)
