A spacious, family-oriented Turkish restaurant with curtained seating, an open kitchen, and a lively local-and-expat following. The bread, soups, hummus, and many grilled dishes can be excellent, but dry or cold meats and uneven service appear often enough to temper expectations. Try: Turkish bread.
This is a welcoming, energetic burger house with attractive surroundings and notably attentive staff. The better visits deliver fresh, flavorful burgers and excellent fries, but scattered reports of dry, oily, soggy, or bland food show that execution is not completely dependable. Try: Brisket Burger.
This Tahlia branch delivers a comfortable, restaurant-like take on Lebanese sandwiches, breakfast plates, manaqesh, and wraps, with staff who repeatedly earn warm praise. Food is usually fresh and tasty, but a few detailed accounts describe declining quality and one-off preparation problems. Try: Lebanese breakfast.
A stylish Lebanese spot on Tahlia with an attractive outdoor setting and generally flavorful food, especially the mezze and grilled dishes.
