Finally, excellent authentic mid-eastern restaurant. The Falafel, Humus, Baklawa and the Knafe, were amazing. Authentic cuisine at its best!!!

Had lunch here today and cannot say enough about the experience. The lunch special is a fabulous deal. Total bill for lunch for two was less than $30, including tip. Nice atmosphere, helpful and friendly waitstaff. I would highly recommend this place.

I have been enjoying Ranoush since the first days of the Delmar location! Nothing else like it. Best hummus anywhere. You will never want store bought again! Food is made from scratch from grandmas recipes. Baklava is lightly sweet, nutty, and not oily. I crave it as well as Haloumi cheese and the mint tea made with fresh mint leaves.... More

First I should say, I don't really do great with new and different foods. This place probably deserves a better rating, its just my personal taste. I enjoyed it as a different experience, but didn't love the food. I would like to go back and try a different dish. My wife and I went here on a "date night" and... More

Great food and service with tasty dishes...excellent use of spices, balanced to provide optimum compliments to the entrees. The drink selection is a bit limited, but of good value.

I had Baba Ganoush and Chicken Shawarma. They were excellent. Those with me had beef Shawarma that they enjoyed as well. Mint tea and Turkish coffee were excellent as well. Staff were friendly and interested in our experience. Excellent place to eat

A fun little restaurant with charming decor. My husband and I shared the vegetarian plate with one appetizer. It was plenty to eat. Food was delicious and it was made with fresh high quality ingredients. Loved the Mid-Eastern music!
