I found the listing online, and even though almost every review said the waitstaff was rude, I was just ordering a carryout and I have worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years, so I am usually very tolerant of my fellow service industry professionals.
I ordered the combination platter for my family of four, and while I found it a bit more expensive than other places I have tried, I am usually satisfied with the portion size....not the case here...I paid a dollar extra to change the salad to a fattoush, which turned out to be six pieces of tomato on top of lettuce ( I have never had lettuce in my fattoush before????)...Also, I had to pay a dollar twenty-five for the picked radishes and pickles that have always come with the combo platter at every other Lebanese restaurant I have ever been to!!!
Moving on....While I was pleased that the person on the phone was rather pleasant, as well as reassuring when she promised there would be no nuts in the entire order ( my son has both a peanut and tree nut allergy), when I walked in to the empty restaurant, save the table of four employees, the employees turned to look, then proceeded to resume, and finish, their conversation (which lasted about what seemed to be two minutes). The food was ready at the time I had ordered it to be picked up, so that was nice.
Getting home, the food had good flavor, but there were only three pitas to go with the entire combo, and I probably should have asked for extra (at goodness knows what extra cost).
While the combo had a little bit of each item that was described on the menu, the container was mostly filled up with rice THAT HAD ALMONDS IN IT!!! We don't eat out much because of my son's allergy (wonder why i don't trust restaurants), and thankfully I thoroughly inspected the food before I let him eat it. I suppose it kind of worked out, because there was barely enough food (and not enough pitas) to go around without him being able to eat with us!!
My family and hopefully everyone I know will be steering clear of this place in the future!!
Pros: The flavor of the food is pretty good.
Cons: The waitstaff and portion size.
