"Most Authentic Experience. The staff is very warm and friendly, falafel was delicious and fresh! I was very impressed by the preparation they took time to make fresh breads. I had baklava for the first time, all the crispy layers with sweetness on point!"
"Food During our stay, we dined here multiple times. For an evening meal, we ordered Beef Cheese Steak Manakeesh and Chicken Shawarma without rice. We also sampled various types of Baklava, including the Pistachio Square and Walnut Square. We truly appreciated the crisp layers and lightly sweet flavor. The Pistachio Maamoul was delightful and fresh, without being overly sweet. The Power Bar, the sweetest dessert we tried, was deliciously nutty and crunchy. Throughout our visits, we enjoyed bottles of water, the Turkish Coffee Pot, and the Manakeesh Tea Pot. The refreshing mint tea option was a highlight for us. Service The staff members are genuinely delightful and make an effort to bridge cultural barriers, ensuring you have a wonderful experience. Atmosphere The restaurant features a spacious dining area, while the coffee shop section offers a cozy, smaller seating area—perfect for enjoying a hot tea and a treat in the evenings."
"This is hands down my favorite spot to eat in West Philly, maybe even in all of Philly. It’s Lebanese food. They have everything, even desserts hand made there and cafe with coffee etc. (Regular coffee, Turkish coffee, pistachio and rose lattes etc). Every single dish at the restaurant side is amazing, you could order anything and it would be incredible! If you like Lebanese food this is the place to go. Also has a great atmosphere and nice outdoor seating when the weather is good. I can hang out there for hours when I go to eat with friends."
