Love this place! Whether dine in delivery or take out, the food and service is always the best! High quality and fresh ingredients! Chicken kabobs cooked perfectly! And the flavors!! Wonderful!

Really great food! The breakfast potatoes are incredible. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfectly spiced. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather before heading to a nearby music festival. We told the hostess we were ready to order right away and she got flustered and seemed off the rest of the visit. Despite insisting she wasn't our waitress, she delivered our food and panicked again when we requested a couple of waters. Not a big deal at all, but it was just kinda... weird. Maybe they were understaffed and she was doing the best she could. Hostess, I just want to let you know it's okay! Thank you for taking care of us!

I would give this half a star is I were able to. Where to begin- we arrived we were seated promptly however it was a half hour before we had water, in which we received only after we noticed a waiter that we were ready to order. We saw the waitress a total of two times during our 2.5 hours there. It was over a hour for our food to come out after we ordered (so over 1.5 hours so far after seating) and we had two toddlers in which their food came last (a half hour after the food started coming out and was buttered noodles). Some of our party, including one of the toddlers, had to leave before they received all of their food because toddlers can’t wait 2 hours for food. We never were checked on, we only saw our waitress when she took our order and delivering our food to us. During this time we witnessed several take out orders picked up. So the priority was obviously with take out and online orders, not for people in the restaurant who would be paying the waitresses (aka tips). One of our party went to ask for boxes and notified the waitress of our disappointment in which the only reply was “we’re just understaffed”. Then don’t seat us? (Even if/when you had plenty of seats like tonight) Refuse service? Or prioritize your service better. The food is good, but order online.

To start off with the food was great. However the service was horrible. After arriving and being seated in a timely manner it took over 20 min. To get our drink orders. Than after ordering our meal it took over an hr to receive the first portions of our order. At which time they only brought out half of the meals. We than waited an additional 30 min to get the rest of the orders. We were dinning with 2 toddlers and their meals were the last to come out. We had ordered buttered pasta for them which wouldn’t take 1.5 hrs to cook. We only saw the server when she brought our food and drinks. During this entire time of our waiting we watched as well over 15 online orders were prioritized over the in restaurant guests. Over all extremely disappointing service.

The most horrible service I’ve ever had from this type of place. We saw the waitress two times in the 2.5 hours we were there. Took an hour and a half to get all the food out. My order came wrong. One of the couples in our party left before their food even came because they had waited so long and had to take their little one home. Kids meal came out very last, too late for the kids who had already been fed from others’ plates to compensate. I have been a waitress before. There was no excuse for the “service” we received tonight. After addressing the staff about our experience they offered nothing, not even an apology. This is terrible business regardless of the food quality.

Great food & lovely friendly staff.

I keep ordering from here even though there’s always some sort of problem! After my last order I have decided I won’t any longer.The food is generally very tasty. I know I keep coming back because the tofu is phenomenal and the salmon is good too.However, it is very pricey for what it is. Basic grilled veggies, protein, and rice. I’ve happily paid it for the tasty protein items that I’m addicted to!However, the broccoli sides are somehow always simultaneously burnt and undercooked (they clearly throw them on the grill raw without blanching) so they’re almost always nearly inedible. The veggie sides are hit or miss and seem to not provide a consistent portion between each visit.Not to mention I’ve had many delayed orders and things arriving Ice cold. Could be delivery app’s fault but it seems to be only this restaurant I have problems with.My last order put the final nail in the coffin for me when I ordered and noticed that now rice was no longer included but instead counted as one of your two sides - where previously it was the protein, veggies, and rice - plus two sides. No way. I was in disbelief and ordered like I normally do hoping the request to add rice was for extra rice, and sure enough I got no rice with my meal.It cost me $65 to order two entrees and an appetizer as is and now they’re asking to pay for rice. Ouch!I won’t be back anymore sadly and I’ll desperately miss that tofu!!!

Delicious foodYumm cappuccino’sRespectful staffFood may take a bit longer but I don’t mind it. Its inviting vibe makes for a good opportunity to unwind while your delicious, organic food is cooked! ?Portion size: generous!!!

This place has DELICIOUS food. I ordered the lamb kabob, and it was cooked to perfection. Wonderful service. Great ambiance. This is going to be one of our favorite places to eat in LB.*** Original Review ? ***Nice outdoor seating with convenient street parking. The waiter wasn't friendly and didn't seem happy to serve us. I couldn't hear him through the mask, and i think he was offended. My lamb kabob was mixed up with steak and wasn't ready until everyone else was done eating. I understand mix-ups happen but the waiter didnt even apologize. I'll come back again and hope for a different waiter. The food was absolutely delicious when it finally showed up.

It was my first time being there I been wanting to go, but I finally I got a chance to try it out & boy the food was great ? ? ? I will definitely be going back again ?
