Love the food and the Turkish coffee. Brought my boyfriend for a Sunday date and he was very happy with the food. Worth the drive from Redlands!

The restaurant offers a mix of Mediterranean and Lebanese cuisine, with a diverse selection of dishes. The Friday special KABSSA, featuring braised lamb shank served over basmati rice, received mixed reviews, with some diners noting a lack of seasoning. However, other dishes like the Open Sesame combo and the kebabs were praised for their flavorful and well-cooked preparation. The breakfast buffet was highly recommended, with a variety of options and excellent service. The ambiance was described as cozy and intimate, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Overall, the restaurant was lauded for its authentic flavors and friendly service, making it a top choice for Mediterranean cuisine in Long Beach.

Good food. Wish our table was not crammed up against the wall door. Service was a little slow at first, but definitely picked up
