Best WLM Reviews

The food. The service. The staff. Wonderful!! We have been here a few times, and it never disappoints. The food is second to none. Great outdoor space, large indoor space. Definitely be back.
We had the three meet combination skewer; lamb, beef & chicken along w huge portion of hummus, rice, garlic paste & all of the pita you could eat & a bowl of flavorful lentil soup. Also a big Greek salad that was plentiful & delicious. Try the house drinks like tamarind w rose water & tasty tea. Everything was delicious & we shared it all.
Let me start off by saying I grew up eating Lebanese food and I am very familiar with it.
The food was ok. The dolma (grape leaves) were terrible and I could barely get through one bite. The falafel was ok, but was very heavy and tasted greasy. I ordered lamb and I received very small lamb chops that were not super flavorful. The fries that came with the meal were the best item but needed some salt. The hummus was not good and needed lemon.
I was the only person in the restaurant. I went at around 6-7pm which is peak dinner time for restaurants. You can see in the video the restaurant was completely empty. There is no reason why I should have had such a sub par experience when I was the only guest in the restaurant. When I told my server, Abraham, about my dissatisfaction with the food he got defensive. Instead of wanting to give me a better experience, he told me that he knew the food was good; which insinuated that the problem was me not the restaurant. I spent about $63 after tip on two items. This was an over priced experienced for the quality of service you receive. The food portions are generous, but it does not match the taste value of the food.
This restaurant did not give me the experience I was hoping to have. I did not receive the same service others received and the server took his time before acknowledging me at all. The partiality was off-putting as a black African-American and came across as racist.
I do not recommend eating at this establishment.
Cute, cozy restaurant. Food was amazing and very plentiful. Best hummus and chicken kebab I have ever had! Service was on point! They kept our beverages filled, our table cleared from dishes and wrappers. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
He handed me the cold kunafa and told me to heat it at home in the microwave. What if I’m not eating at home? Horrible service, horrible kunafa. No wonder it’s empty.
This is one of my favorite places to eat in San Diego, especially if I am looking for an in the mood for Mediterranean food. I love the chicken Shawarma wrap with the side salad because it is the perfect balance for my medical condition.
My friend that was with me for dinner this evening had ordered the lamb chops and she said it was absolutely wonderful. It is great that they have patio seating and are pet friendly because she had her four-legged child with her.
It was an evening of excellent food, great conversation and much love from the four-legged child. I definitely will be back!
Cute Lebanese restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Surrounded by beautiful palm trees.
Cafe ambiance. Friendly and somewhat quaint indoor decor.
The falafels are yummy. Fluffy and well spiced. The Mussaka and rice as well as the Lebanese salad were delicious.
My go to lunch favorite! I love this place! It is a little pricey, but I certainly enjoy the authentic flavors! My go to entrees are the Chicken Kebab Wrap with a salad... the salad it comes with is great! You can get fries too, they are a good option too if you want to be more full. I also enjoy the Chicken Kebab plate! ( it’s the plate pictures here and the salad plate) It’s totally shareable! It’s a lot of food! If it’s a hot day, try the mint iced tea! It’s so refreshing!
