Hands down the best middle eastern food I've had! Delicious, the family who owns it is from Lebanon and it shows in the flavors. Even the hummus was mind blowingly tasty. Dessert bakery section is HUGE too.

I love this place. The lamb chops are a must. I highly recommend the family dinner if you go with a group. The tea is great. And of course the bakery is amazing! Some of the best baklava. There's a raspberry mouse that's outstanding too. The service and atmosphere is cozy. It's our favorite place in the neighborhood. More

We tried the Kunafa, Hazelnut Tart, Tiramisu, Choco Lava, Pistachio Raspberry Mousse, and Brownie. The Kunafa had a rich flavor with a bit too much cheese, while all the other desserts were delicious. Though the prices are on the higher side, the quality makes it worth it. Definitely planning to visit again More

We tried out Libanais after a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. Started with the delicious cream of mushroom soup and split the Combo Libanais for our entree. I wanted to drink the garlic sauce with a straw! As soon as we walked in, we knew we needed to save room for dessert. Everything in the bakery case looked amazing! We got a couple items to take home as they gave us complimentary baklava after our meal. Everything was delicious; stop by if you're in the neighborhood or even if it's a bit of a drive like it was for us.
