    Extraordinary staff. Very helpful helping me getting seated - I was with my mom with limited mobility. I can’t remember ever being so well taken care of by a restaurant. Helping us choose the wine, food… a real pleasure. Food was fantastic as well. We were not rushed at all.

    Service was impeccable. Sommelier picked a great matching Alsace wine and food was incredible. Restaurant was a touch of the loud side, but the screens between tables minimise the sound.

    I have been coming here since my friend recommended it to me. I love this place. It is like eating food in lebanon. I love their labneh and kibbeh a lot. I order it each time. I love theor mixed grilled plate. They have delicious soup sales plates fast food sandwiches. I recommend everything of course at the end we get the Moroccan tea. They really price a 5 star service. I love the waiters and waitresses. The owner is super friendly.
