Lovely Lebanese mom and pop shop in little Arabia. Loved the authentic flavors, the kind service (the owner is a gem) and the sense of community walking in. Be prepared to wait a bit for fresh flatbread, cheese boats and other essentials as it is made fresh and hot from their oven.

My go to place for manaesh in Southern California. Owner is welcoming and a pleasure to chat with, he's been doing this for almost 30 years and has this down to perfection. Food is priced cheap as hell which means I order more and tip more because this place is worth it. Especially when I'm away from home, having a place that reminds me of my Muslim and Palestinian roots is a joy to experience. Been coming here years alone and with my family, can't wait to go back again next time I'm in LA

Excellent service, excellent food, it's my first time visiting this place but it won't be the last. I got the manaeesh cheese with egg and zatar with cheese just delish

This review is long overdue, but it’s one of my favorite spots in OC. I always place a to go order whenever I’m driving back to LA from OC. My favs are the cooked spinach, honey and cheese, and spicy lahmajune. The store is usually busy, so you either gotta call ahead or be patient if you order in store. The staff is very nice and I always dream about the spinach and cheese.

It’s places like this that remind me how wonderful the Arab world is. I feel like I’m walking into a Breakfast spot in Lebanon every time I step in here. I come here every weekend, and order a mix of Cheese and Zaatar Manaeesh, and its so consistently good. I believe the owners are brothers (twins?), and they’re amazing people. I’ve seen them help families, give every tip in the tip jar to the bakers, and laugh/joke with every customer. I go out of my away from LA to drive here, this is the spot. P.S., get sesame seeds on the cheese manoushe.

Cheese boat is the best. Delicious and very soft dough. Also cheese with zaatar. Everything we had was very tasty and the portion is good for 2. For sure coming back soon.

Food remains great, but the wait is unfathomable. I would order ahead next time for sure. It took one hour for me to get my order. And half of it was wrong. It was delicious still, just not what I had ordered.

I had been looking forward to this place for a long time. When I finally got the opportunity to try them out I was beyond impressed. The interior design of the restaurant transports the diner to another place far from California. I felt like I was in Lebanon and the family friendly atmosphere was very comforting. I really enjoyed the Pistachio icecream and I look forward to trying other items on the menu. If you are in the area please give this place a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
