The service here is ridiculously good – super friendly, fast, and just genuinely welcoming. You can tell the staff care about what they do and want you to have a great experience. I always do walk-in and I get a table within 5 minutes.
The vibe and ambience are top-tier – cool, fun, and full of energy without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of place you want to hang out at, not just eat and go.
The happy hour drinks are also must order!!
Easily one of my favorite spots in the city. If you haven’t tried Jimmy’s yet, you’re seriously missing out!
The portion looks small but pairing it with pita breads does the job.
Quite a busy place so food wait time. Also good space and the interior gives the middle eastern vibe.
Good staffs too.
Besides, we dropped a ring during the dinner there, unfortunately. But the staff, especially Neil offered us very kind help to look for the ring. We highly appreciate it.
Will come back again!
Food was great! Falafel was crispy and very filling. The fries — soooo good!
My yuzu spritz was refreshing and the beer on tap was good.
Friendly and warm vibe. Will go back! 👍
This Lebanese gem truly stands out for its vibrant atmosphere, warm service, and flavorful dishes. The lamb skewers were perfectly grilled—tender, juicy, and well-marinated. The fresh salad was a real highlight—crisp, refreshing, and balanced in flavor.
While the restaurant is known for its falafel, I found it a bit over-spiced for my personal taste, though others may enjoy the bold kick. Still, the overall quality is undeniable.
The staff were friendly and attentive, and the location is convenient with a lively vibe. Their drink selection is impressive—some of the best I’ve had at a Middle Eastern eatery—and prices are very reasonable for the quality.
A strong 4-star experience, and definitely worth a visit if you’re looking to explore bold Lebanese flavors in a relaxed setting.
