I really should make it a point to try new restaurants in Lucerne, especially when the food is as fantastic as it is here. The menu was difficult to understand when it came to the platters (and I speak German, so it wasn’t because of that) — did it come with baba ghanoush? Can you pick a variety of what you want? Anyway, the owner was super helpful in clarifying what was what, and very patient with us as we perused the menu.
I finally got the beef platter — three different ways of cooking beef — plus hummus, eggplant hummus, falafel, and salad. The salad was so refreshing, with a light tasty sauce and really nice crackers. I wasn’t impressed with the falafel — I tend to like mine a little bit crispier and with more taste than the one here. The hummus was pretty good, and the eggplant hummus was absolutely amazing. The beef was good too — there were small little beef pieces, which were chewy (there was one that was TOO chewy); there was one minced beef «sausage» that was a little spiced (I thought it was great and not at all spicy, but my mom thought it was quite spicy), and another minced beef «sausage» that wasn’t spiced. The meats went well with the hummus.

Very good Lebanese cuisine in Luzern… I came here twice and had both the sharwama and their variety kabob dish. Both dishes were well prepared with flavorful ingredients and just the right amount of spice. The owner is helpful in explaining the menu but FML can he be a bit slower bringing out your drink, that was annoying. Another thing he could explain is if that if the kabob platter came with 2 falafels I won’t need to order them as an appetizer and end up with 4 bigass falafels, besides that this place was legit.

Sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich! Der Hausherr serviert persönlcih und dies auf sehr sympathische Weise. Grne wieder.
