Gift Tips

  • Try the spicy hummus and babaganoush as a strong starting point for a meal built around shareable mezze.
  • Order one of the kebab or mixed grill platters if the group wants a hearty spread with plenty of variety.
  • The shawarma tower and fries is a standout choice for anyone who wants a more classic Lebanese-style main dish.
  • Save room for a Lebanese dessert or a refreshing hibiscus-based drink to finish the meal on a lighter note.
  • Ask for recommendations from the staff when ordering; names like Ivan, Jackson, Maria, Zander, Olivia, and Ben are associated with especially helpful service.
  • Plan ahead for a weekend visit, since the restaurant can get busy and reservations help make the experience smoother.
