What a great find! Spent less than 24 hours in Rochester for a gig and had to figure out lunch for a group with all kinds of dietary restrictions (gluten free, no fried foods, no red meat, vegan - ugh)... IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

Omg. This is something this area has been missing for awhile. Sure we have Aladdin 's downtown and in Pittsford, but it's more a mix of Middle Eastern and Greco origins. This is very Lebanese while trying to have something for everybody.

My husband and I went for a quick date night this past Saturday. We were served by the owner who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Very proud of their food and heritage which you don't see often.

I don't why I waited so long to try this place...I've always been impressed with the staff, the restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the prices are more than reasonable.

Mariah H.East Rochester, NY
“

Awesome Mediterranean food, with a heavy Lebanese influence...Most of the food was made right in front of me, which was nice. Ingredients looked fresh, and the menu seems pretty healthy.

Kareem K.Brooklyn, NY
“

I've eaten in & ordered take out - the food has been delish every time. Wonderful owners & employees. I have taken out-of-town guests & they've enjoyed the food, too. Try it out! You'll become a regular

Jacqueline E.Rochester, NY
“

If you like flavorful meals, then I recommend this place for lunch....You can even see the workers preparing the meat and the meal since there are large clear windows.
