My first time having Lebanese food and I absolutely loved it. Before we left the restaurant we were already talking about coming back again with our partners.
After spending a long time in the Middle East, these are easily some of the most authentic Lebanese dishes I’ve had in the States. No need for snobbery about fresh baked bread - their bread is soft, warm, and perfect for grabbing the delicious mezze. Definitely going back
Some of our plates were beyond delicious! And some were good - bet it's a good place to go and refine your order everytime. Absolutely recommend the lamb hummus
Tonight we enjoyed the Chef’s Choice. Before dining I read all the reviews. Needless to say I was very intrepid about being a guest at this establishment. Yet, after actually eating there I have to say, WOW! My palette was delighted with full flavors distinctive and nuanced like I was at my boyfriend’s family home. His mom was Lebanese! As well, I am a Chef.
The ambiance was comfortably classy & clean. The service was very kind, loving, & professional….it was my birthday “eve” celebration. (They made me feel special.)
The full body, dry, red, Lebanese bottle of wine, was excellent with our meal.
My only wish? More Lamb! I know it’s expensive…..charge for it. I LOVE it❣️
Thank you for a perfect dining experience. ♥️
This Lebanese restaurant is definitely a gem in Ballard! A lot of vegetarian options, very balanced flavor and texture!
The beet tahini is surprisingly refreshing and tasty. - 5/5
Hummus bi tahini has so soft and creamy texture, with strong but balanced herb smell, and mild cumin flavor. Love it. 5/5
Pita is complimentary with other fish orders. Each dish comes with 2 half pitas. Pita is thin and a bit dry. You can smell not too much butter. 4/5
Lamb Kifta doesn’t smell too lamb, that’s good if people don’t like strong lamb smell. Herb is super with the minced lamb! Soft and juicy with pita. 4/5
Love the interior design of the restaurant, very old fashioned.
We moved to Seattle two months ago and have been here 4 times! The food is consistently so delicious and each time we visit there are new seasonal items on the menu. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is homey. This place is the best!!

I finally had a chance to check this place out after seeing so many friends check in and rave about this underrated restaurant.
I went with my best friend and we just sort of ordered haphazardly with a little guidance from our server. My friend has a pine nut allergy and the waitress was very informative and helpful with guiding us around the menu so to avoid pine nuts.
The atmosphere almost feels like a cozy dining room at one of your childhood friends’ home. Dim lighting, familiar faces that you don’t totally know, but that’s because everyone pitches in with running food, filling waters, clearing plates and subtly waiting for you to finish your last piece of bread, so they can promptly bring you fresh, warm bread to continue dipping into all the delicious dishes!
If I could give this place 10/5 stars I absolutely would. The food was pure, yet complex with creative combinations of flavors and textures. Service was attentive but not overbearing. And the atmosphere was warm, inviting and not overly complicated.
I can not wait for my next visit. Already planning on having a nice birthday dinner here with my closest of friends!
Stupendous!! Sunday dinner was the Chef's choice and boy does he have good taste. We ate beautifully prepared food with lovely service in a warm welcoming venue. Loved the atmosphere. Families and people enjoying food and company. Unreal spread of appetizers and salads. Loved the raw cauliflower salad, warm hummus, and the best baklava ever. Not sticky, just sweet enough and crunchy in a most delicious way.

Great Lebanese food. Got the muhamarra, Hummus, cauliflower, and the rice and lentils main veg dish. Everything was good and you probably want to get a bunch of dips to try a few different flavors out.
My favorite was the garlic Hummus by far.
Authentic Lebanese cafe, both in food and ambiance. We loved every plate we ordered - but hummus with lamb was definitely our favorite with its unique mix of flavors. As for ambiance, the space and the decor is spot on without it being too polished. Definitely coming back!
