In Short
The dining area channels a Mediterranean villa, with painted columns, ochre-washed walls, and waves of blue-green chiffon rolling across an azure ceiling. SE locals and longtime regulars drop in for pan-Mediterranean delights, from shawarmas and gyros to grilled seafood dinners. Classic mezza samplers include hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, pita and specialties like stuffed grape leaves or fatayer, a savory ground beef turnover. Honey-drenched baklava and cardamom-scented rice pudding are made on-site.

This awesome little restaurant has the most delicious Falafel sandwiches. They have lunch specials, and the place isn't usually that crowded. Service can be slow but he food is worth the wait.

so yea if you need lebanese food just go to ya hala on stark near 82nd. infinitely better than anything you will find here. if you have no car and live near by it might be worth a shot since a few things are probably worth while. best of luck though. really nothing special.

Everytime I've been here service has been great. Food has been good and I've never ordered anything I didn't like. The food arrives fast and hot. The hummus is tangy and creamy smooth. Yum! My favorite is the falafel sandwich with a green salad. The falafel is a bit spicy and the salad has just the right amount of garlic and lemon. If you want great Lebanese without all the pretense try Riyadh. You won't be disappointed.
