Our family loves this place! The owners and the staff here are so warm and sincere. We feel they love serving their customers with their authentic cooking! Every time we come here they welcome us with nice service! We love the food very delicious and new feeling for our family! It is Mediterranean food but tastes familiar because we love meat and rice. It is like not just from a restaurant’s kitchen, more like someone’s sweet home kitchen! It is good for my stomach, my mood, my health and my soul! Highly recommend!

Food was delicious and fresh! Our waitress Evita was nice and polite. She suggested us what to choose from salads. I highly recommend everyone who loves grilled meat, fish and fresh vegetables salads.

I really like the food here. Everything is better than average. I get the chicken shawarma every time, which I’m told is secret recipe. It’s certainly very tasty and different from standard middle eastern/Mediterranean fare. Also thier bread is fricken good. I’m gonna laugh if it’s like frozen grocery store bread, but it seems fresher and tastier than most places.

Absolutely amazing experience at Phoenician Resto cafe! The food was beyond delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the mezze, tabbouleh, lahem bajen, cheese on bread, and chicken shawarma, and every single item was bursting with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients and the authentic taste made it truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine and mouthwatering Lebanese cuisine!

We loved our dinner here. Good selection on the menu and our waitress, Amal was absolutely awesome. She accommodated my special needs and offered to replace a meal I ordered due to my dietary needs (I didn't realize the dish had something I can't eat). Then she brought a to go box so someone else at home can have the meal I couldn't eat and one for the new meal she customized for me without extra charge! What great service! I highly recommend this place, they care about their customers

I am vegetarian. Ordered a vegetarian platter. Loved the hummus and falafel. Definitely better than the ones I had. The grape leaf was amazing as well. Ambience : The ambience was good but the environment was busy and slightly noisy. Service : Service was great , the food arrived on time and was great, so overall a great experience. Definitely recommend for anyone that wants to explore middle eastern cuisine

I was only able to take one photo because I was so focused on the food! First off, Viv is an absolute gem of a human and her customer service was next level. I ordered the lamb platter and rice pudding. The photo is of the bread and seasoned oil. Everything was extremely fresh and from the food to the energy my dining experience was next level. I would absolutely recommend visiting this amazing restaurant. Plan for parking, but definitely park and go in!

Very delicious food. The cauliflower was made to perfection, just soft enough. I enjoyed the hummus, bread, and chicken the best. I enjoyed trying things I hadn’t eaten before and expanding my palate. The ambiance of the restaurant was great too. It’s well decorated and has meaning in the design.
