" From the moment I walked into Almaza, I was struck by the vibrant decor and inviting atmosphere. I ordered the lamb shank, and it was the best meal I've had in months—such tender meat! The service was friendly, and they were attentive without being overbearing. The only drawback was the hookah smoke; if you’re sensitive to that, you might want to sit inside. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Almaza is my favorite go-to for late-night Lebanese food! Their hummus is to die for, and every dish has a homemade feel to it. Just a heads up, it does get quite busy on weekends, so a reservation might help. The service is understandably a bit slower, but the quality of food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Almaza has become my go-to place for Mediterranean food! The kebabs here are seasoned beautifully and come in hearty portions. I particularly love the ambiance; it feels like you're dining in a traditional Lebanese setting. That said, the service can sometimes lag when the restaurant is busy, but the wait is worth it for the food. Highly recommend the cheese rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Almaza is spectacular! The shawarma fries alone are worth the trip. They have a great selection of dishes, and everything I tried was authentic and bursting with flavor. My friends and I had a great time sitting outside, enjoying our hookah while we ate. The only downside was a slightly slow service, but nothing that spoiled our outing. I’d recommend this place to anyone craving Mediterranean! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the vibrant energy at Almaza, especially during dinner! The diverse menu makes it hard to choose. I finally went with the lamb chops, which were recommended, and they did not disappoint! Great service, friendly atmosphere, and a must-try for anyone visiting the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" While dining at Almaza was a fun experience, I feel there are areas for improvement. The food was good but not as authentic as I hoped for. The service was decent but could be more attentive. Overall, I'm glad I visited, but I might try another spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The hookah flavors were spot on, but my meal didn't quite match that level of excellence. The service was prompt, but the food felt somewhat rushed. Watching the crowd enjoy their hookahs pads the experience. It's a solid choice if you're looking to hang out with friends and unwind, just don’t set your food expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)
