The heart of the restaurant is Mohamed, the chef and owner, who is always present, making sure everything is just right. You can truly feel his dedication in every dish, and the way he makes guests feel at home is unmatched 🍽️❤️.
Some of my personal favorites? Definitely the raw kibbeh or bil laban, the stuffed grape leaves, and the traditional Lebanese desserts 🧆🍇🍬. And for the perfect finishing touch, pair it all with a glass of Arak — that dry anise spirit mixed with water and ice 🍸❄️. A true Middle Eastern feast!
