Terrible service

We came here several times and mostly had a good experience with the Lebanese food, with mixed service: the owner is friendly and chatty but one of the waiters is very aloof and doesn't seem to listen properly when you make your order.

Today we waited for about 45 minutes after arrival for the starter. We ordered baba ghanoush but they brought hummus, which was only about half the size it was on other days. They forgot about our drinks order (which was just bottled water) and the waiter was just looking at his phone the whole time. When they brought the "arepas", they were much smaller than the arepas we saw other people eating and literally just had avocado, tomato, lettuce, and red onion. No sauce and no seasoning. One of the arepas on the menu that has meat comes with refried beans and plantains so I don't see how they couldn't incorporate those into the vegan one.

We had to remind them of the water and then they only had one water left so we had to share.

Then after all that they charged us before showing us the receipt, and when we checked it they had included a 10% suggested tip.

I can't recommend it after an experience like that.

Served me meat

Its really hard to understand what is vegan in the menu and what isnt but i ordered a vegan lentil stew and waited a long time for it and at the end it came out and i took a bite and then i noticed it has meat in it and it was disgusting and upsetting so i asked the waiter to take it away and they made me a new one and gave me 3 falafel balls on the house to compensate.
I enjoyed the vegan lentil stew at the end, but i wouldn't go there again after a mistake like that

Delicious & nice change from pasta etc.

I had the kibbe plate (the falafel wasn’t available) served with hummus and tabouleh. Tasty & light lunch. Was happy with the change, after many days of pasta and empanadas.

Good Empanadas - Not So Much For the Middle Eastern Food

Nice Lebanese owner and vegan-friendly menu, but unfortunately most of the dishes were below our expectations. The babaganoush barely tasted of eggplant, the falafel was dry and flavorless, and the tabbouleh was not well seasoned. The hummus was fine. The veggie empanadas were delicious and well seasoned - my definite recommendation for this place.

Yummy dinner

Loads of vegan and vegetarian options here. The owners are warm and friendly, and made such an effort to make us feel welcome. We had the mixto falafel plate, vegetable empanadas and casuela with lentils and vegetables. All super yummy.

Recommend

affordable establishment with friendly proprietor. I had the Plato Mixto (falafel, hummus, salad). Nice to support a small family restaurant.
