Delicious falafel sandwich, friendly service. Look at those colors! That’s freshness right there.
First let me say that anyone who has anything bad to say about El Toum, or its chef, was either in the wrong place and didn't realize it, or else they have absolutely no taste whatsoever. I have been eating Sami's cooking for almost 10 years and I have never had anything but delicious, fresh and well-prepared food from this establishment. Top shelf!
Good falafel and baba ganush. Lamb sandwich I got was undercooked, soggy and cold-raw meat pieces, barely seared on the outside. Called the restaurant about the undercooked raw lamb meats and they made another one. Second one was better cooked but still lacking and cold. Meat tasted overly gamey, as if I’m biting into a deer meat. Meat pieces look like they were par-cooked and frozen and reheated before serving.I get that pandemic has negatively impacted restaurants but serving unsafe, undercooked food shouldn’t happen.
I would give them Zero star..I don’t really leave food reviews but after all the places I have eaten this place has was very disappointing. I ordered Falafel platter and when I opened the food at home, the falafel balls weren’t cooked it was still raw inside, salad was too salty and lemony. Rice was under cooked and the humus was like water. I just wasted my time and money. Never eating there again.
I used to eat here when it was a breakfast/ lunch kinda cozy place to eat. Now it's a fully loaded delicious Mediterranean lunch/ dinner cozy place to eat. A BYOB kinda place that serves freshly cooked meals with a small quiet relaxed ambiance. Sami has channeled his heritage roots into as tasty place of of fine dining without the noise of the neighborhood. Highly recommended to stay or to go. Tastes fresh either way.
Excellent spreadsLoved the serviceTurkish coffee was a highlightOur favorite was the falafelU will enjoyMake sure you visit!!
Had delicious hummus, fried zucchini, falafel sandwich, and kofta burger! Will definitely come back again, especially for the warm and friendly hospitality!
Great friendly service and delicious food! This will be a regular spot from now on. I had the chicken kebab with rice and salad, every element perfectly done.
Great food and great service. The owner Tony (kinda looks like Anthony Bourdain also) has a great personality, and it shows in his food and in the restaurant in general.
Small place that was supposed to serve Lebanese food. Well, what's I saw was an ordinary bodega, with an average food you can find everywhere for a better price. Bad salad, bad eggs....anyways.
