Four of us came here for dinner. We arrived early (around 5:30) without a reservation and were promptly seated. The place was full by the time we left, so I’d definitely recommend booking ahead. I don’t typically comment on interiors but I will say the setting and decor is really lovely. It’s a cozy space but the ceiling is high. The wait staff was also professional and friendly.

Now onto the food: I’ve had some Lebanese food before, but I’m not supremely refined regarding authenticity. I do know what I like, though, and I can say that the flavor palettes for the dishes we got were satisfyingly complex for me.
We only ordered two things: the hummus and pita mezze and the Mashewe Mshakal, which is a large plate of skewered and roasted goodies for 4. All of it was quite good. The hummus was silky smooth and had a nutty flavor that I quite appreciated. The paprika was also surprisingly flavourful and was a lovely touch. It reminded me of a proper hummus shop in Europe. My only gripe is that they didn’t give enough pita, but more on that later.

Our main dish, the Mashewe Mshakal, was quite good—an assortment of roasted/grilled skewers and bits of meat and veggies and some grilled pita on the side.

The meat was cooked and seasoned well and it felt like a decent portion for 4—just decent, though. The lamb chops bordered on comically small, but flavourful. I’d recommend this dish if you come as a group of 4.
My main complaint about this restaurant is the value. I found the pita portion a bit stingy and absent this dish, I think I would have felt a bit underwhelmed by the price for the portions of the other dishes I saw being served. They were also a bit stingy with the pita—not nearly enough for all the hummus and side sauces. What we ordered felt like a good value though, so I would recommend it if you’re price sensitive. Otherwise, ordering strategically is recommended.
The roasted cauliflower dish also seemed popular and well-enjoyed. I’m sure it’s good, but there’s just a part of me that can’t pay $248 for a cauliflower, and it won out. If you’re not as stingy as I am and just want to enjoy some quality Lebanese food, I’d recommend visiting.
