One of my favorite restaurants in town and I love bringing people here for business meetings or family time. Grateful, as there seems to be at least a few things on the menu for every diet preference & need. Also, the soup options split in half and served together is amazing and unexpectedly addicting....that's a genius idea! OS also accommodates to common allergies as well.

This is one of the best places to eat in Long Beach. The service is great and the food is amazing. A friend moved out of state and still says that this is one of the best lebanese restaurants he has been to. He married into a lebanese family and they enjoyed it too. I could eat the garlic paste and some pita bread all by itself snd I would satisfied.
