    I had lunch with a native of Lebanon on 12/18/24. He said he grew up on grape leaves, and said Seray's were just like his mother made -- he absolutely loved them. He also thought that the level of spice in other dishes (yogurt with bread , chicken shwarma, meat pies), was a little mild, probably that way for the American palate. He4 said, overall, American palate= A; Lebanese palate = B. I have to say, I really liked all the dishes. For us older folk (that's me) with hearing aids, the noise level was bothersome -- turn up my hearing aids to hear my friend across the table and suffer the background noise, or turn them down to reduce the noise and have trouble hearing my friend. Go figure. Dino was our waiter and was perfect! Attentive, but not intrusive. My grade = A minus, only because of the noise level. Mike.

    We had a lovely pre Christmas lunch there today. The food was excellent and the wait staff were really very nice. We had chicken entrees and both (parmigiana and marsala) and both were excellent. Lots of food so we had leftovers for the next day. Definitely putting this on our repeat visit list.

    Very good food and reasonable prices for food and wine. We especially like the Iskander Kabob. Would have given it 5 stars., but some annoying fruit flies were at our table.
