The closest thing to Lebanese cuisine in New York! The food is lovely! Go for the brussel sprouts, the warm eggplant, duck shawarma and mekanek! Those were my absolute favorite!

This was a bad dining experience. The prix fixe menu was mediocre - it began with good appetizers and then went steeply downhill from there. I ordered the chicken and got 3-4 balls of chicken with very minimal flavoring. 3/6 people ordered the lamb and not 1 person finished it. The dessert was AWFUL...

This was my first time here and I decided this place because I saw it online and I really wanted to try some Lebanese food for a long time ago.

I keep trying to find an opportunity to come back here and keep getting thwarted.

Tried a couple of different middle eastern beers I d never seen before. The design ma...

Some of the dishes are hit or miss. The duck schwarma is easily the best thing on the menu, and is truly amazing. Beef kebab was also great; lamb was a bit gamey for my taste, but I prefer persian preparations versus lebanese.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough. Went with a friend for restaurant week and tried four different appetizers.

Good, but overpriced Lebanese food. The mix grill is definitely tasty, but value-wise doesn't really cut it. I also found the muhammara a bit dry, but still good.

Consistently good food with plenty of space for large parties makes this an ideal for business dinners. Highly recommend trying the fine Lebanese wines of Chateau Musar, can even be worth the money to splurge on the more expensive Gaston Hochar.

Great service and amazing food. We were a party of 6 and what worked best for us was the round table with lots of space in the middle (since we shared nearly all of the dishes).

We had a great experience here, starting with the original cocktails, and creative Lebanese cuisine, meant to be shared. The waiter helped us find the more original dishes. My only , very minor complaint., is that the wine list is very limited. Would definitely return.

Had a lonely date here during the pandemic. Food was delicious and the server was friendly.
The tables are pretty tiny so if you re with tall people, it could be a bit difficult. We almost flipped the table over a few times.
That being said, we had a great experience.
