“ Finally, a Lebanese spot that gets everything right! This place is a total breath of fresh air. First off, it’s 100% Halal and alcohol-free, which creates such a clean, welcoming, and family-friendly atmosphere. But don't think for a second you're missing out on the drinks—their mocktail game is elite. They are sophisticated, beautifully presented, and not just "glorified juice." They also have a fantastic selection of dealcolizzati (non-alcoholic) wines that actually taste like the real deal, which is so hard to find! The Highlights: The Food: Authentic, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The mixed grill was juicy and the mezze felt like home. The Drinks: You have to try the signature mocktails. Truly elevated flavors. The Service: Fast, friendly, and they really care about your experience. If you want an upscale dining experience without the bar scene, this is your new favorite spot. 10/10 recommend! ”
“ The best thing about Lebanon food is as a vegan there's great choices. The welcome was warm and the room is very nice. The food was delicious I had hummus, Babagannuge, falafels, stuffed vine leaves, and lentil soup all were excellent. My husband had falafels, halloumi and potato and egg salad loved them but couldn't finish the halloumi because there was a lot. We both left satiated with that smile you get from eating well Good food cooked and presented very well. Highly recommend for a pitstop or a meal with friends. Don't hesitate to try it out. ”
“ A place that truly feels like home. Delicious Lebanese food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. One of the best dining experiences I had ”
“ The food was generally flavorful and enjoyable, though I wouldn’t consider it my best Lebanese cuisine experience. The service, however, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and truly elevated the overall dining experience. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive. The atmosphere was visually beautiful, with fantastic lighting that created a unique ambiance. That said, the building seemed quite old, and there was a slightly unpleasant wooden smell that detracted a bit from the otherwise charming setting. In terms of price-performance, it can be considered a good alternative in Venice. Overall, a solid 4-star experience with some memorable highlights. ”
