It was our second visit, having previously eaten outside there on a glorious summer's day a few years ago. This time we were glad to be inside this clean, warm and colourful restaurant. Ryan was our waiter. He was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent on both visits and a welcome change from Indian or Chinese. It was an altogether enjoyable experience and one which we would recommend to our friends. I look forward to my next visit.

I have always been a huge admirer of Lebanese food, from all restaurants experiences I have had in the past....until today! Food was really basic, nothing exciting out of all the many dishes we ordered, the lamb and butter bean stew was really particularly poor. Not Lebanese food but colourful ready made easy to plate dishes with nice decor to please average crowd with no much expectations....that's how it feels... On top, service is left to teenagers who, eager to do well, are so fast and rushing around to a quite stressful level. ...at least I can't say they were slow!!! But that isn't really professional... Let's finish with having brownies and cheesecake on the desserts menu should be a clue of how much this place isn't a Lebanese restaurant.y mistake, I should have read the menu before! .... extremely disappointing experience.
