Reviews
- starry_milletCame here with a friend and honestly the vibe was so cool — lots of wood and warm yellow lighting, super cozy and totally photo-worthy. We got the Lebanese-style burger and it was legit, the patty was thick and juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the sesame sauce was such a good twist. Also had the roast chicken with rice and a salad, portions were huge and we were both stuffed. Staff were really nice too, took time to explain the dishes. Whole experience was just really comfortable, would def come back.
