    The review must cover three aspects: 1-food, 2-service, 3- ambience. I am comparing this to Edgeware road outlets! First the food: main dishes were good but the starters were much below mark. Milk shakes were excellent BUT you don't go to Lebanese restaurants to have milk shake!!! Second was the servise: Excellent, the waiters went out of the way to serve and were available whenever needed. Third, the ambience: Too noisy. You expect some decorum when you are with family. But your regular clientele seemed happy, so we were the odd ones out. In conclusion, the low quality of food and ambience more than offset the otherwise excellent service level.

    This was my first visit to the restaurant as recommended by a friend who had visited it when it first opened. However, I have to say for a first impression the food was great but the customer service let it down. It seemed they were short staffed as we had to ask for things various times and they would still fail to deliver. I found the bar man to be rude as there was no waiter available so my friend called him to ask for water, although, he had heard her he chose to ignore her.

    Wings, shish taouk, and kofta were good. Enjoyed the different variety of Mojitos... However, menu needs updating as many items were unavailable or they did not do anymore.

    Very nice local restaurant that serves good Lebanese food - not readily available in the area. Since going there, we have used for takeaways and continue to enjoy the food.
