"Si la devanture ne paye pas de mine, par contre dans l'assiette, vous en aurez pour votre argent ! Autant par la qualité que par la quantité des mets, vous allez vous régaler ! De plus la patronne est très sympathique et son mari un vrai chef en cuisine ! On a passé un très bon moment dans cet établissement !"

"Delicious food, one of the best Lebanese I have eaten at. Bit outside center, but walkable. They modify the suggested menu for you if you are vegan - very nice. Service could be a bit faster - better count 1h30 to 2h for dinner."

"Wonderful mezze. We enjoyed the mezze plat. I liked he beet and the red pepper walnut mezze best. The falafel was very fresh. A nice change from the French food we have been eating. Not to say the French food has also been wonderful. But go, enjoy the delicious flavors"

"Très belle surprise avec ce restaurant familial. Tout est fait maison. L"assiette Gayane" permet à ceux qui , comme moi, connaissent mal la cuisine de cette région, de goûterà une douzaine de spécialités chaudes et froides, pour moins de 20€ à la carte. Tout était très bon, bravo!"

"Le repas était aussi bon que la patronne était accueillante! Je recommande et ne comprends pas pourquoi l'ensemble du quartier n'y mange pas chaque jour"
