Damascus was the best around 2003


Was good, but only beat Aristos (Poseidon's) on babaganoush, halloumi, and tabouleh.

Phoenician Grill was great too. He had to sell b/c his wife was sick. Some terrible pizza place moved in for a while before La Pagua took over. We really miss it, only one here close to Aristos.

Poseidon’s. No one is a close second. Aristos’ (owner) food is the best.

Has anyone tried Tabbouleh on Ambassador across from Athena? I feel sorry for them because they opened right when the whole CORONA thing hit.

Athena in the shopping center that had Bennigan's. The buffet is OK but I would just eat off of the menu. Or better yet do yourself a favor and go to Poseidon's.

Ditto what 91Tiger said... the Athena buffet ($12.99) is next to Chuck E Cheese and Samurai in the Ambassador Row shopping center. Buffet is not being served due to Covid. They are open for dining off menu.

Athena Express inside the gas station (KalIste Saloom) is my preference for Lebanese to-go orders. Agree with others as Aristos (Poseidon) has an incredible menu and the best in town for dining in. Back in the day, early 90’s, Aristos had some wild after hours parties I’m friends with George (Green Olive) as he and his sister are doing fine. Was a sad day when he closed the business which lasted 25 yrs.

Poseidon's is the correct answer.


This seems like the consensus

For some reason I’ve never been there. I’ll have to check it out soon

Zorba’s is definitely a good spot . Always been a fan of Zeus too, if Poisedons is better I’m sure I’d like
