    My group of 10 birthday celebrants felt very cared for with great service. Simply the best lamb chops I ever ate. Server was amazing and all the dishes were beautiful.

    The food was incredible; it tasted like mom was cooking in the kitchen! Service and ambiance were great, and the portion sizes were perfect.

    The restaurant is not really enticing from outside because of the graffiti but once you’re inside , the place is very clean. Food and service are both excellent . I will come back there again . I just wish they will update the facade of the restaurant .

    Great food and lovely service. Much nicer inside than you would expect from the outside entrance.

    The chicken kabob was good. The steak kabob was really well done and dry. The service was good. The ambiance was okay but the smoke from the patio could be smelt. I liked it okay but I’m unsure if I’d return.

    Delicious and plentiful food, served by a gracious and attentive staff, in a tall ceiling, attractive space. Bring your own wine if you want some - no corkage fee charged. Excellent value and experience- we will be back.

    Amazing food, and place! I will be back! I just hate the location because of too many people and homelessness on the street.

    Delicious Lebanese food in the heart of the Mission District. Highly recommend the kibbeh, cheese rolls, hummus (with meat), and really everything else on the menu. You can't go wrong with anything that you order from here. Great for groups - it's a spacious and beautifully decorated restaurant. Rarely need a reservation - this place is a hidden gem! I recommend taking an Uber/Lyft, since parking is tough and the area is a little sketchy at night.
