We drove 25 minutes to eat here and simply decided that the amazingly authentic food was worth a 2 hour drive. It is quaint and it feels like you are in a friend's kitchen. Chef is friendly and humble. The portions are generous and we ate everything like savages. Now we will return and eat slowly to really savour the many different spices. The music enhanced the experience too. This place is the REAL DEAL. Everything fresh and the mixed kebabs were so tender. We ended up buying other dishes to bring home. The man behind that kitchen has blessed hands!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

It has new owners so some menu items may be unavailable but we ordered lamb chops, kibbeh, hummus, kababs wrap and kafta wrap. The food was all excellent, nice mix of meat and spices nicely grilled. Waiter was very pleasant and accommodating.

Absolutely the Best! The service was outstanding and hummus was one of the best I have ever tasted. Best restaurant is perfect for a romantic getaway. The staff is so friendly. The murals on the wall or breathtaking. A food is so fresh and it is one of the best Lebanese sandwiches I have had. Best restaurant is quite an experience. I recommend everyone in Tampa Bay to come here and try this place. You will be amazed! This is my top recommendation!
