The interior design is great. You can tell the owner takes pride in his heritage and business. It's very clean inside. Service is friendly and attentive. Then the food comes out..... everything is delicious! My wife got the zaatar pizza. The crust was pillowy and soft, covered in fresh veggies and delicious zaatar spices. I got the Tour of Beirut combo plate with chicken, steak, and kaftan. It came with rice, pita, hummus, pickled turnips, and a creamy yet sharp dip that I didn't recognize. I looked it up and it's toum. Delicious, creamy, rich, yet with a nice bite from the garlic. The steak was cooked just right. The chicken was juicy and tender and excellently seasoned. The pita came out warm and fluffy. And the hummus! Bright and creamy and smooth. The fries are perfectly fried crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. If I were to have one complaint, I prefer my turnips more pickly, but these were still tasty and lightly pickled. WTFalafel makes me wish I lived closer to Moreno Valley.

Been here twice while coming from Joshua Tree or from Las Vegas and it's definitely a great stop to go to for some great Mediterranean food! Parking is very spacious so definitely easy to come here. I've been coming here at around 8pm and the inside is pretty empty and some people come here to get food as take out or as doordashed. The service is good as well where they get your order while seated and check on you constantly if anything else is needed. The food portion here is really good with lots of other varieties! I personally am able to eat everything but I'm sure this could be worth two days of food since the portion is somewhat big, but it's a good thing! This place is definitely my go-to if I need a pitstop going back down to San Diego and would recommend to try it out if you're in the area or want some good Mediterranean food!

Visited for the first time and it was an excellent experience. We got The Tour of Beirut of course and it was delicious, tender, juicy, flavorful and filling! You get pita as well for the table. Ambiance was so warm and welcoming and our server was extremely kind to my family and I. I felt as though we stopped in to have lunch with a friend. Definitely recommend this place if you want filling, flavorful food with excellent service and great prices.

Hip Hip Hooray, Im so glad I stopped by this adorable Mediterranean/Lebanese restaurant. I've seen the sign a thousand times but never stopped. I really wanted Mediterranean food and this hit the spot. Normally I would've driven all the way to corona. So glad to have this gem in my back yard. When you walk in it is a quaint little spot with the option to dine in restaurant style or you can get your order to go. We were greeted by the owners daughter..(sorry I didn't get her name). She was super friendly and helpful. I let her know it was my first time here, so she suggested the Beirut Combo plate. I had chicken, steak and seasoned beef along with hummus, pita bread, rice, tomatoes, onions, and pickled turnips. It was delicious. Don't forget to check in before you order because there is a 10% coupon. (Oops I did it backwards). On my next order I will definitely get more pita bread.

WTFalafel is a new establishment serving Lebanese and Mediterranean dishes. The restaurant is located in a plaza north of the 60 Freeway on Pigeon Pass, across from the Home Depot and In N Out. It's in the same plaza as Farmer Boy's and Circle K. They have a variety of dishes to offer but we wanted to taste a little bit of everything. We ordered: * Tour of Beirut Combo Plate (Beef, Chicken & Kafta) - This is a great trio of proteins that came with fluffy rice, a side of salad, hummus, toom (garlic sauce), pita bread, and a grilled chili pepper. Everything was delicious but I particularly liked the beef than the chicken and kafta. By the way, the chili was spicy for my palate. It tasted good but the heat was intense. I'd say this is good for sharing because we took half of this dish home. * Beef Shawarma - More flavorful than the chicken shawarma but still good. * Chicken Shawarma - This is a great basic dish to try if you haven't had Mediterranean food before. The flavors are milder for beginner palates. * Falafel - They really make a great falafel here. It's not dry like other places and it's great with a side of tahini sauce. The restaurant had plenty of seating including a mini bar. This would be a great place for group/work lunches or dinners. The service was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable staff sharing their recommendations. Overall, delicious food in a sketch location - a hidden gem! The service would make me want to come back here. Such pleasant people!
