What User doesn't like about El Toum:
let me first say that anyone who has something bad to say about el toum or his chef was either in the wrong place and did not recognize it, or they have absolutely no taste at all. I have been cooking samis for almost 10 years and I have never had anything other than tasty, fresh and well prepared eating from this facility. top regal! View all feedback. What User likes about El Toum:
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... View all feedback.

Such a hidden gem. Amazing food, every plate looks like a piece of art. But the best part? It’s customer service. They make you feel at home. Excellent.
