This is the best restaurant in the whole wide worldly world. The food is simple yet seasoned to perfection. Everything in the menu tastes fresh and healthy and the way they use spices is sensational. I go to Open Sesame to celebrate a special ocasión, when I'm not feeling well to have some comfort food and when a Tuesday is just too boring to eat boring food. The Open Sesame Combo is perhaps the best option, specially with tabbouleh and baba ganoush. If you're looking for your new favorite place just say Open Sesame.

This is one of the best places to eat Lebanese food...food is excellent, service fast, but since they don't offer reservation after 4:00, you may have to wait long time. We have bring friends, and everyone has been so amazed by the flavor of their food. If you have a party of 6 order the Party platter and everyone will eat enough of everything.
