" My partner and I had heard great things about El Jamil, but our experience didn't match the hype. The service was surprisingly slow despite it not being busy. The food was decent but lacked the richness of flavors we associate with genuine Lebanese cuisine. The hummus was fine but not memorable. I might consider giving it another try to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love El Jamil and have become a regular customer! Their mezze selection is wide, and everything is full of fresh flavors. The outdoor seating area is a lovely place to enjoy a meal. However, the prices are a bit high compared to other places. Regardless, the quality makes it worth it. Don't skip the knafeh for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to like El Jamil due to its high ratings, but I found the dishes underwhelming. The portions were smaller than I expected, and the flavor profiles felt off. Additionally, service was not welcoming; the staff seemed more interested in serving faster than providing quality service. I probably won’t be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a quick dinner at El Jamil and was impressed by the fresh ingredients used. The pita was warm and fluffy. I had the grilled chicken plate, which was good but nothing out of the ordinary. I would say the seating outside was a plus, making it easy to enjoy the evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Jamil for lunch after hearing it was a good place for Lebanese cuisine. The atmosphere was warm, but the service lacked attention. I felt like I was waiting too long for my order. The food was somewhat average, with the chicken kofta being a bit dry for my liking. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I might not make it my go-to spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place looked charming, but unfortunately, I left feeling underwhelmed. I tried the fattoush and found it bland, lacking the flavor punch I was hoping for. Service was inattentive during the busy hour, which didn’t help. It’s a shame because I had high hopes for this restaurant. I might not come back unless I hear rave reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at El Jamil and was enchanted by the atmosphere! The decor was charming and the music complemented the dining experience. The service was prompt and engaging. As for the food, the grilled veggies and lamb were delicious. Great to share different dishes, perfect for a social evening. I will be planning to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)
