Very lively middle eastern restaurants , it's not revolutionary cuisine but they do it very well . I liked everything here. Try the humus with pine nuts and meat. Also the peach and watermelon juice .

Good is good! Spicy kibba was good. Their zaater bread and hommos were fresh and super tasty! Highly recommended but you should know their service is BAD! They only serve their connections or friends

Hany Kasem

Love the food here .. appetizers are amazing (sojok, liver , hot potatoes ) .. "pesto ras asfour" is a MUST .. their grills are amazing .. staff are very friendly .. overall, an amazing experience !!!

Sara R

Love their food its kind home-made nothing over the top (savoury only as I'm not keen on their sweets),reasonable prices for Dubai, seating outside with this lovely weather is a must😍

Bala Menon

Authentic Lebanese food open well past midnight. Helpful and passionate servers. Good sheeshá and vibe. Tend to be crowded if you wish to sit out and smoke but they let you have sheeshá inside.

Salwan Finj

Overall mezza, Leila light chicken and shish tawook are faves for me...cute interior...beat casual Lebanese in Dubai by far!!!

Ghadah AlHarbi
