Yelper Shane D. wrote, "Lebanese/Brazilian fusion? Yes, please. ...  My girlfriend had the picanha. ... I stuck with my personal favorite: cuts of skewered Arabic barbecue. I had several tawook skewers, a few beef kebabs, some kafta and some sojouk. Every skewer was cooked to perfection, and was served with a healthy portion of fries on the side. Excellent."
