From Citysearch

In Short
A towering white brick wall carves out oversized square openings into a patio twinkling with white lights wrapped around palm trees. The interior is arranged like a lively social hall, with plenty of tables and room for belly dancers on the weekends. The Lebanese cuisine features vegetarian and cheese-based starters, and arayes, dough-like pastries topped with ground beef, pine nuts and tahini. Tender, marinated meat is the basis for a variety of dishes, including chicken and lamb shish kebab.
