" I had heard great things about Sumac before visiting, and my experience did not disappoint! The dishes were bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors; I particularly loved the kofta and the homemade hummus. Each bite reminded me of my grandmother's cooking back home! What I appreciated even more was how welcoming Eli was—he took the time to talk to us about the menu and shared some cooking secrets. Be prepared for generous portions and great value for your money. Highly recommended for anyone craving Lebanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Mediterranean food, you have to try Sumac! My experience was delightful—from the warm welcome by the owner Eli to the flavorsome dishes. I had the baklava, which was phenomenal! I was blown away by how authentic the meals tasted; it felt like I was dining in Lebanon. The service was consistent throughout our meal, and the staff showed great attention to detail. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a genuine culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to this quaint Lebanese restaurant. The menu offered an array of authentic dishes, and I decided to try the mixed grill plate. The meats were well marinated and cooked to perfection—so flavorful! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, making it a great place to unwind after a long day. Though the service was polite, it could have been a bit faster during peak hours. Nonetheless, the overall experience was delightful, and I left with a full stomach and a smile. I will definitely return to try more of the starters and desserts! " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Sumac was nothing short of extraordinary! The flavors in the dishes were vibrant and authentic, especially the chicken shawarma which was tender and packed with spices. The owner, Eli, was charming and made us feel right at home as if we were enjoying a meal at a friend's house. The decor had a warm, inviting feel, complemented by the bustling sounds of delicious cooking in the kitchen. I highly recommend trying their homemade baklava for dessert—it was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Can't wait to come back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I visited Sumac with my family, and we had a lovely time! The service was outstanding, and our server seemed genuinely interested in ensuring we had a great meal. We shared a variety of plates including tabbouleh, shish tawook, and manakish —everything tasted fresh and authentic. The outdoor seating was a bonus, providing a nice view of the vibrant neighborhood. We ended our meal with a rich, syrupy baklava that was heavenly. I encourage anyone looking for great Lebanese food to check this out! " (*Curated Review*)
