“ Mandaloun is an outstanding Lebanese restaurant. We ordered the Absolute Mezeh, a rich selection of 8 traditional appetizers – and honestly, it was more than enough for two people. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. For dessert, we shared a generous portion of baklava: 5 different mini pastries, each with its own unique taste and texture – all delicious. Warm service, authentic food, and a very satisfying experience overall. Highly recommended! ”
