Warm, family-run Lebanese spot with standout traditional dishes and generous meze; moderate prices, friendly service, basement setting, and occasional slowness.
Tripoli delivers exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like sumki hara and shish barak, supported by attentive, warm service that makes diners feel welcomed. Reliable execution across visits and generous meze portions justify the grade, though slower pacing on grilled dishes and a basement location prevent the higher distinction needed for grade A territory. A solid neighborhood favorite that exceeds typical standards.
One caveat: Basement location is unassuming; some prefer brighter street-level rooms
