Classic Lebanese comfort food with many vegan options and lively energy; great kebabs and mezzes, but portions and automatic gratuity frustrate some diners.
Restaurant Summary
Set on Westwood Blvd, this spot buzzes with a steady flow of diners and platters of smoky grills and mezze. Service comes off as warm and quick, and the room feels casually Middle Eastern with comfy touches. As one diner put it, the kebabs were "tender and richly spiced" and the cauliflower "crispy with a tangy kick." Parking can be tight, but the welcome is genuinely friendly. The cooking leans traditional Lebanese more than trendy, centering on shawarma, kefta, hummus, and vibrant salads. Portions on plates are satisfying, though some find wraps smaller for the price. Most leave pleased with the grill platters and mezze, while a minority report falafel dryness or saltiness. For families, it works well: kids gravitate to rice, pita, and chicken skewers, plus mild hummus and potatoes. There is no explicit kids menu, but the straightforward kebabs, rice, and salads make ordering easy; adventurous desserts like milk pudding and baklava add a sweet finish.
