    Description
    D.C. restaurateur Philippe Massoud’s stylish Lebanese eatery would feel right at home in cosmopolitan Beirut: Wood-paneled walls, pocked with windows and mirrors, create the impression of a giant kaleidoscope, and the menu is flush with elevated takes on the familiar. Kebabs, like the lean, moist lamb skewers, were near perfect, and a beautiful chankleech cheese-and-tomato salad was chopped fine with scallions, thyme and oregano. Err on the gluttonous side and overorder—the too-small portions left us craving more.

                Ok, listen, this place is pretty. But take it from me - I'm Lebanese and grew up eating this food. I have half of it in my home right now - do you know I could feed my entire huge family using the money they charge for one dish. Hummus? I made it tonight w/ sun dried tomatoes and the entire thing cost me less than $2 to make - don't go spending $8 on it. If you want to go and enjoy the atmosphere, go for it, but don't go there hungry and know that these dishes cost near nothing to make.
