Zikrayet Lebanese Restaurant & Lounge

Decent Lebanese food right behind the USPTO building. Halal indication on menu. They also offer a small lunch buffet during the warm months. The food is nothing to drive for miles over, but its not a bad lunch option.  Service could be better, but definitely not a fancy place.

They also serve hookah.

2 stars for ambiance, friendly staff and cleanliness. Food we ordered (vegetarian) wasn't good at all and the server gave us cold, stale bread when we asked for some. We didn't try the hookah, which seems to be their strong point.  Overall, i wouldn't go their for the food.

We stopped here for a dinner.  We should have never stopped.

After waiting 'ten-fifteen' minutes outside, we were finally escorted to our table inside roughly an hour after arriving.  (I cheated and got a cookie from Foster's next door to tide me over).  The waitress was immediately condescending to me and suggested that I leave as I had too many questions about what the words meant for the food.  This being my first time in a 'Lebanese' restaurant, I obviously had some questions.   I finally decided and we all put our order in.  Time stood still again for the next 40 minutes as we all waited for our meals to come.  I'm guessing at some point in those 40 minutes they were ready as by the time they made it to our table, they were cold, tasteless, flavorless, and honestly, just terrible.  On top of that, our drinks were empty, and refills were never offered.  Our waitress disappeared after she placed the meals on the table and we finally just left cash on the table after the manager was not only unable to track her down, but unwillingly to print out the bill and hand it to us.

Never again.
