Food was great! However, when we went to pay, we were informed that Visa, Mastercard and Amex were not accepted. This was a our last night in Brussels and the server/owner sent us to the nearest ATM which was 0.5 miles away. We went there but the ATM was out of order. We then tried 3 other ATM's, totaling an hour of our time (and probably 2 miles) and were not able to utilize an ATM. I sent the restaurant an email that night explaining that I was very sorry and unable to pay since I couldn't find a working ATM and explained how disappointing it was to be put in this position and that he really should tell people before they order (he responded back with there being a sign at the bar). Well we didn't eat at the bar so how would we have seen it. He then asked me to wire him money. I finally asked him if he accepted Paypal and he does. If he had offered that up at the beginning, my night wouldn't have been ruined like it was. Food was good but service was miserable!

Really great food. Fresh, tasty. Nice service. The restaurant is unassuming but the food is excellent. Try the messenger platters/menu. The lebanese wine was also great

The food was excellent and felt like we were at a Lebanese friend"s home. Very nice formula menus to choose from. We chose the vegetarian, which was the 3rd, which was vegetarian, out of 3 comprehensive menus. . Tarek, our waiter was very pleasant, always smiling, mostly attentive and helpful. He seemed to know very well the food composition and happily explained the respective ingredients. Hana , the chef was very charming, warm, and very personal. The food reflected his character and attention to beautiful presentation and quality ingredients. Decor simple but very clean and quiet, welcoming atmosphere. I'm definitely going back to this lovely jewel of Lebanon with a Syrian touch.

Loved the food. Very authentic restaurant with lovely environment. The background music was good and so was the kindness of those serving us. We ordered several different small dishes and they were all great! Definitely recommended.

Very tasty Syrian-Lebanese food. Plates came with charming presentation and delicate preparation, Falafel in their perfect state, not to oily or too big. Excellent balance quality/quantity/price. Staff was quite nice. We'll repeat

Very friendly and pleasant staff; nice atmosphere; good food. The batata harra was a little dry. Good value for money - it’s not as expensive as the average Brussels restaurant. I’d go back once we can dine indoors because outside on the footpath wasn’t ideal, but I’d imagine indoors will be very pleasant.

We ordered the 2 person menu and it was a wonderful meal. We've tried lots of Lebanese so we know a bit about it and the quality is superb. The owner and server were friendly and attentive. They gave us a little wireless bell so we could ring if we needed anything. They were attentive anyway but it was a nice touch. The terrace is small with only two tables so check to see if they have a table. The good thing is then you get to eat more privately without a crowd. Try it and you won't be disappointed.

We shared 3 'East@West' platters between 6 people (one platter was vegan). The food was extremely flavourful, abundant and worth the price. Our server was extremely organised and attentive. This was one of our best dining experiences in Brussels. And one of the best Lebanese/Syrian cuisine places! Do not miss it!

This is the second time I go back to this restaurant. It amazing. The price is fair. The atmosphere is cozy. The music in background suggestive. The food so tasty. But, the best touch is the service, the owner is so kind!
