Food is phenomenal. Staff are exceptional and service is very quick and they are very attentive. Celebrations can make it intermittently loud but it's a fun loud experience and it wakes your spirit, puts a smile on your face and encourages you to relax and enjoy what life brings! Love the lemon mint cooler. We will be back!!!

The best food and the best service. Mensef bites were a 10/10 must try! Mixed grill platter & grilled jumbo shrimp was also delicious!

We had the most incredible time and it’s was an amazing experience for my daughter’s birthday! Excited to visit again. The mensaf rolls were out of this world and the ribs basically fell off the bones. Highly recommend

The ribs were incredibly tender, smoky, and full of flavor—falling off the bone without being dry. The smoked wings were just as impressive: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with a deep smoky taste that you can tell comes from real slow smoking, not shortcuts. Portions were generous, sauces were on point, and the overall quality was top-tier. If you’re a fan of real BBQ flavor, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

Great place for meat lovers…. Mediterranean style cuisine. The mixed grill platter was good. Too much rice on both… The glazing on the ribs tasted great unfortunately we can get a chance to eat the lamb shanks… Great customer service & ambiance.

My wife and myself were very impressed with the authentic taste of the food and the service brought our experience to the next level. We’re from SoCal and nothing there comes even close. Muna and Janet served us and made feel like family. GREAT Experience!!

The food at Mdakhan was overall good. Waiting time is too much , we went on sunday around 1.5hrs . The ribs were really tasty, but the grilled mshawi was just average
