Came here on a weekday and must say the food was very disappointing it's not authentic. Lebanese, not only that, the service was really bad we had to ask for pita bread when most places bring that automatically. Then they have the decency to add a service charge of 18% for 2 guests. I don't mind paying 18% gratuity as long as im taken care of and you do your job. You guys can do better. - Y C
