We've dined here on four separate occasions, and each time we've been thoroughly impressed. It's located in a small building near the intersection of Old Dolley Madison and Old Dominion. The menu is fantastic, with a strong Mediterranean influence. The beet salad is absolutely divine, and the shrimp dish is incredible as well. You absolutely must give this place a try at least once!

Though located in downtown McLean, it's a bit off the main path, which affects its visibility. The menu has a wide variety of options with a Lebanese-Moroccan flair, and the flavors hit your palate right away. I especially enjoyed the beet salad and the yogurt with pita bread as appetizers, and the salmon entrée was simply delightful—melting in my mouth. Others in our party raved about the flavorful shrimp entrée and the branzino. The desserts are also exceptional. Importantly, the staff is genuinely caring and attentive, making your experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is casual and incredibly relaxing, a perfect way to unwind after a long day at work. Bring your friends for a wonderful dining experience. We're lucky to have this restaurant in McLean!
