The atmosphere of this place is very historical. Once entered asked if we have reservation which we did not. However still let us in and allowed us to sit where ever we wanted. I highly recommend to make a reservation on specially occasions as it may be busy. Falafel was delicious, however Humus was as not thick as it it should but I used it as a topping for the main food and made small little wraps-which given extra taste to it. The mains were also good however, the chicken could have been cooked a little longer. The food was also unsalted for my likings but again I am a person who likes salt the only negative part would be this and also not provided with a salt when asked :
The restaurant has a beautiful interior with an open and spacious environment. The staff is friendly. We tried the family menu for 2/3 people, which was actually enough for 3 or 4 people. We opted for the crockett, which was crispy and delicious. The bill came to £45 including soft drinks and service fee. While it may seem a bit expensive, we were satisfied with our experience and would recommend it. The food quality was good.
Nice and cosy middle Eastern restaurant in Oxford. Food is delicious, slightly overpriced (or size of the portions could have been better or vermicelli rice could have given as part of the main meal . Waiting time and the order processing time are in the acceptable region : The restaurant is very neat and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks.
Good food and good fast service : ! Having student discount could help more to get more students to come as well. We ordered vegetarian option and one meat option came by a mistake, which they did not replace it with another dish was one flaw that could be improved. Potentially having more of the bread or hummus could help more with big number of people.

We went as family for second time as visitors in Oxford. The food is excellent and they have many vegetarian options that our daughter loves. The place is humble but clea and you can feel at home. We will surely come back and recommend.
Located in a peaceful neighborhood, this family-owned restaurant is a hidden treasure. With a wide variety of options for everyone, including vegetarians, the dishes are all delicious. Make sure to come hungry!
Once again, the Lebanese cuisine was exceptional and the atmosphere was perfect. The staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We will definitely be returning soon.
Food is amazing!! We ordered the family plate for 2-3 persons. We had three people eating and had food left. Great Mom and Pop Square. Very recommended.
