Phoenicia Restaurant
Reviews
This restaurant was recommended by a friend so a group of us decided to go and check it out. I love Middle Eastern food and my favorite place is Raffis' Place. To begin with, I wasn't impressed with the food at all. It was nothing special. Service was terrible and slow. In addition, the place had no atmosphere, no ambiance. All I saw was waiters running around like chickens with their heads cut off, constantly bumping into us. Then we had to put up with the smell of cigars and hookah pipes. To top it off, we had to put up with the most dreadful singing coming from the club that they had built as part of the restaurant. I don't know where the owner hired that singer from, but that was enough to drive us out of there. Needless to say, I will never go back there or recommend that awful place to anyone. I'll stick with Raffi's.
We go there regularly but honestly their service is declining! They squeeze as many people as they could which makes it very uncomfortable! Otherwise the food and hookah are still great!
One of the best restaurant. A++++
This happens to be one of my favorite Lebanese restaurants of all time. The highlight is the authenticity and deliciousness of the food. While the service isn't stellar, the staff are all charming and friendly. A must for lovers of middle eastern cuisine and culture.
Great food and possibly the most authentic Lebanese restaurant in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys. If you haven't had a dish since your childhood and have been craving it - ask the chef at Phoenicia and the chances are that they have it.
