Excellent and authentic. Try the "foul mademes" and "Lebanese mini sausage" and "shanlesh". Also had the "Le Sajj combination of grilled meats"
Decor is comfortable. Beautiful wood work and Lebanese music playing in the background. Wait staff is friendly.
Saturday night they have a belly dancer and hookah pipes.
I cannot say our experience at Le Sajj started out well but it did end very well.
We came in on the Sunday of St. Patty's weekend and there was a 1 year old's birthday party in full swing. We asked if they were accepting outside guests and they said yes, so we were seated. It took forever for him to take our drink order, and then the wine glass he brought out was dirty. After I complained to the owner, Marwan, about that, they really picked it up, despite being very busy.
I was really missing home, and with the special thin Sajj bread and traditional pickles, I felt like I was transported to Beirut (especially with the bad music, and the Happy Birzzzzdayyy to youuuu-anyone from the region would get it).
We ordered the appetizer platter, the raw beef pate (kind of like a tartare), and the fried red mullet fish.
Everything was PERFECT. The olive oil stuffed grape leaves, the hummus, the falafel were insanely good. The beef tartare with the garlic sauce could not have been better if Nelly's mom made it at home in Beirut. The red mullet are a specialty back home, and were served with the tahini and garlic sauce and fried bread-just like home. Totally something I would crave-yum.
We had a "hookah" and it was excellent.
At the end of dinner they offered us some Lebanese coffee (similar to Turkish-but different).
The price tag was actually very reasonable, and I will totally be back for more.
Thank you Marwan for giving me a taste of home, and for giving Richard B. a real Lebanese experience!
