“ I was starving when I got into Cancun, this place was around the corner from the hotel so I went for it! Luckily the staff were friendly and spoke English, had a chat with the owner who was very courteous and chatty. The beer was required and the food was as you'd hope for from a Lebanese restaurant and was very tasty! ”
“ Amazing! Must go! Short walk from Walmart on the R2/R1 bus. Restaurant was beautiful, vine awning, gorgeous wooden chairs, immaculately clean. Food was out of this world. We had the Kefta kabob, the Arabic salad, the natural yogurt (with fresh mint leaves), the mjadra (lental and fried onions), and the honey roll for desert. Omg! We’re from NYC and we have lots of Lebanese options, but this was unique. For one thing, the owner had parents from Lebanon and Mexico, so they had a special mixed salsa made with green habaneros and Lebanese spices. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I told them to market it worldwide, and they laughed and said maybe later. Prices were totally reasonable for Cancun and especially for very well-made food. ”
“ The cabbage rolls are amazing. I think the best ones I've had in years! So so so good that I ordered a second order, and i meant to take a picture, but then I ate it too fast. ”

“ Excellent! So delicious. All the meat was divine. We had the shuarma Con queso, chorizo & Arabic beef. The bread is similar to pita. The sauces were tasty & the peppers. Service was great! Great to sit outside! ”
“ The owner was honest enough to confirm that this restaurant is NOT HALAL. They are Christian Lebanese and don't have too many vegetarian options either. ”
“ Stayed next door at the Hotel Blue Star at the end of June and this Restaurant was right beside the hotel. The Owner was super nice, friendly and was a great pleasure to talk with. Even better was he stayed in Canada, so we talked about that a lot. Can't wait to have their food again as I am really missing their garlic sauce.....omg was soooo good. Will have to get the recipe when i am back at the end of February. ”
