I ate here and had the Koo 'sa Mahshi - yellow squash stuffed with lamb, rice, and spices in a tomato sauce. It was solid, but not remarkable. It was on the bland side. My dinner companion had a regular kabob and said it was pretty good, although a couple pieces were far too rare. They were $16 and $19 respectively with most dinner entrees being in that range.
As an appetizer we had Labneh - farmer's cheese made from yogurt in olive oil. It was good, but not remarkable.
The best attribute of this restaurant was the decor and ambiance. While it felt a little old inside somehow, the restaurant had nice streams of water, walls of plants dividing the space, ornate globes hanging from the ceiling, and nice patterns. The restaurant overall seemed to be a deep red shade, which was a little odd. We had a nice window seat.
The service was good, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant was not too busy at the time.

Overall, I might try it again - perhaps my dish just wasn't the best, but Astor Mediterranean and Lebanese Taverna were better.
