"Man, I have no idea how the rating here is only 4.1. This is hands down one of the best places our family has eaten in St. Louis. We got the hummus with beef, falafel and taste of Lebanon. 10/10. Everything is fantastic. I highly reccomend. Go once and you will be going back."

"This is a great little restaurant situated on a lovely street. They have indoor and patio dining, as well as a small hookah lounge in the back. There isn't any particularly special decor, but it's well laid out and inviting. The staff were young but kind. It's run by a Syrian family, so you get a Middle Eastern style service. Compared to many places, it's a pretty good blend of good customer service with an edge of that blunt, practical interaction. To my dismay, I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures food! We had the flat bread both with cheese and zatar. It was perfectly cooked and delicious. We also had hummus and baba ganoush, both of which were spot on with authentic flavors. Nice and flavorful mixes. We also had some fried potatoes that were exceptional with a strong spicy kick - wonderful! Our main reason to visit was hookah. We had a party of 4, so when we saw the small hookah lounge we passed and headed for the patio. Seating was nice and since it was later in the afternoon, we soon had building shade. They have umbrellas, so those helped at the start. All sheesha is Al Fahker, and they use coconut coals. Hookahs are mostly Maamoon with a few of another brand. The bowl was packed well, but after that, it was rough. We received the coals half lit, so I went and ask asked for tongs so I could get them fully lit. We also never were checked on for coals, so I was minding them and asked for a second batch to be lit. They just brought coals and did not have an oven and tray for tending bowls. This was okay, but it did cause us some burn moments that hurt the overall flavor. I chalk this up to a day with teen/college age kids running the place, and they didn't know how to properly handle a hookah. Despite this, I have to go 5 stars. It was well worth the visit. Food was excellent, staff were nice, the space was inviting, and the hookah was fine, just a bit of a tough day with the coals. Give it a go, you'll have a great trip!"

"I hadn't had my fav, Chicken Sharma in more than 5 years! I'm sorry to say it wasn't what I remember it to be. I don't think I'll be returning. For context, I ordered take out on Sunday about 6pm. My disappontment is for the following reasons are: 1. portion size is less but price went from $16 to $21. 2. garlic paste is more like butter with only a hint of garlic now, not good. 3. The turnips pickles (purple ones) used to be think and crispy, but now they are shaven and flavorless and come with an extra charge. 4. The chicken went from juicy to dry. 5. The fatoush is shaven very fine now and tasteless (no salt, no lemon) I think management has changed."

"The food was good, but the service was very slow and the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the price. Also, be aware that they add a mandatory 20% gratuity, even for takeout orders."

"I ate here with my partner for the first time on what happened to be a beautiful day weather wise, and we couldn’t have been happier as we enjoyed our excellent food outside. The service there was awesome and nothing short of friendly and hospitable. The vegan menu is amazing! I highly recommend the Taste of Lebanon sampler and their outstanding falafel pizza."
