Chances are you will be the only customer in the restaurant for dinner … but don't let that scare you away. The food is fresh and delicious. The Fatoush salad was perfectly dressed, and I really enjoyed the felafel.
I'm really a little puzzled by the poor reviews for this place. My family is from the middle east, and the food I had here was quite good. The place is a little old and dusty, and service haphazard, but the food is really tasty and as authentic as I've had in NYC. For example, we ordered the mezze platter, and got some excellent falafel, cheese, hummous and baba ghanouj, all tasty and all with acceptable pita bread. My meal, stuffed squash with yogurt soup, was also spot on. If you think the food here is bland, as I notice several people suggested, I'm a little at a loss at what you expected. This is more or less what Lebanese food tastes like. What else would they serve?
Quite the disappointment. Ordered dinner from this restaurant over the weekend and picked up the food in person. The pita came in the plastic bag that it's sold in the super market in. No pretense about making it there I guess. The chicken was chewy and rubbery. The salads were mostly lettuce with a few slices of tomatoes thrown in here and there. The combination platter of appetizers had a total of 2 falafel balls (which were not very good anyway). The okra cooked in tomato sauce was mostly sauce and mostly flavorless. Overall, all six of us sharing the meal agreed that it was no good and it is highly unlikely I will be ordering from Tripoli again.
Delicious Lebanese food. We ordered the mezze platter of appetizers, and 2 veggie dishes. Everything was tasty, but not the best Middle Eastern in the area in my opinion. Dessert wise, the baklava was dry and uninspiring, and went straight into the trash. Beware of delivery they are very slow, our 45 minutes took 90 minutes to arrive.
Best lebanese food in the area!
The fatoush salad is my favorite! The grilled chicken is perfect.
I have been coming here for years with family. Would love to go back again!
As the two-star rating suggests, "Meh, I've experienced better." The food was alright and the service was inattentive. It probably doesn't help that as a Lebanese gal, I have a pretty high bar when it comes to Lebanese food.
I know these guys have been here for an eternity, which counts for a lot, but I was not satisfied with my meal here. Just so so. I had a mezze plate (I've had better babaganoush and hummus elsewhere) which was okay. The chicken curry was also just okay. Portion size was large, but the flavors were one-dimensional. I like complexity in my flavors and yeah, there wasn't really any.
I am always a fan for Mediterranean cuisine. Large portion of veggie and little bit of meat on the side.
I think the ideal way to order here is getting that veggie platter and just 1 entree for 2 people. The appetizer comes pretty quick therefore the veggie platter will keep you filled and happy. It's a large platter and plenty of food.
This place is in the basement and after reading other reviews, They ARE BYOB??
Price wise is around $10 to $15 a plate. A bit pricey but hey, you should think about those wrong decision you made paying for that $15 martini or overpriced bar drink.
At least you get a healthy dinner.
