“ This place is the real deal! My boyfriend is Lebanese, and he swears this is the most authentic restaurant in Dearborn--he eats here every time he's in town. After months of hearing him rave about it, we finally made the drive from Chicago to explore all the amazing food in the area, and this spot did not disappoint. First off, the restaurant is huge, with plenty of large tables and ample seating, making it perfect for big groups. The menu offers a wide selection of meats and sides at really reasonable prices. Coming from Chicago, I was impressed, but I'm not sure how it compares to other restaurants in Dearborn. The standout here is the raw meats. It was my first time trying raw frakeh and kibbeh, so I can't claim to be an expert yet, but I could immediately tell the meat was incredibly fresh, with a rich, earthy taste. My boyfriend, who knows his raw meats, gave them his stamp of approval. A rare find on the menu was Hendbeh, something we haven't seen at any Middle Eastern restaurant in Chicago! It was absolutely delicious, with a beautifully tender yet slightly chewy texture that made every bite satisfying. We also ordered the baba ghanoush and hummus--both were incredibly smooth, creamy, and packed with flavor. The pita bread here is unbelievably fluffy, making it the perfect vehicle for scooping up these indulgent dips. One dish that really surprised me was the grape leaves. They were unbelievably tender, with a juicy, well-seasoned filling. What I loved most was that they weren't overly sour, which can sometimes overpower the delicate flavors. Instead, they had a balanced, savory richness that made them incredibly satisfying. For grilled meats, we went all out and tried beef, lamb, makanek, sujuk, shish tawook, and kafta. The charcoal grill gave everything an incredible smoky flavor, enhancing the seasonings and textures of each cut. I especially loved the grilled veggies that came with the skewers. Surprisingly, the lamb stood out the most for me--I usually prefer beef, but the lamb here was so tender and flavorful that it completely won me over. Overall, I highly recommend this place! Bring lots of friends because we ordered way too much food for just the two of us, and the portions are generous. If you're looking for an authentic Lebanese feast, this is the spot. ”
