Fodor's Review:

Negotiate the quirky wrought-iron-and-burlap revolving door at the entrance, and you've made it into one of San José's few Middle Eastern restaurants. The Lebanese owners serve a wide variety of dishes from their native region, so if you can't decide, the mezza serves two people and gives you a little bit of everything. For your own individual dish, try the juicy shish kebab de cordero (of lamb), or if you're feeling especially adventurous, the raw ground-meat kebbe naye (with wheat meal) and kafta naye (without wheat meal). A hip bar in the back serves the same menu, but definitely eat out in the front restaurant Thursday nights for the 9 PM belly-dancing show.

As a lebanese woman, I was expecting to walk in the restaurant and critisize the lack of authenticity of the food. I was certainly caught of guard by how delicious and authentic the food was, not to forget the cozy entertaining club in the back and the most excellent music. One of the best bar-restaurants I've been to and I highly recommend it!
