The food is beyond amazing. Loved seeing the owner working, serving, and visiting with all the customers. Ice cold Almaza and hot fresh bread. Phenomenal culinary experience.
Pretty good and authentic Lebanese restaurant. Food was all around tasty. They have an outdoor seating area that allows for smoking hookah and eating. Interior designs are clean and attractive. Service was attentive and friendly. Our party ordered the Moujadara, Sijouk, Kefte Mishwe platter, Moussaka and Chicken Mishwe platter. The Moussaka could've been better enjoyed with rice or some sort of starch, as the dish was minimal. The lamb kebabs were very tender and flavorful. Veggies also were perfectly cooked. The tiramisu was delicious, but was not made in house. Originally wanted the Jebnah dessert but it took too long to make. Prices are a little higher than I'd like. Glad the menu wasn’t the bare boned Mediterranean spread, it was closer to what you'd eat at a Lebanese household. We left just in time as a belly dancer presentation came up, wife was happy to get me outta there😂.
Chef "Z" was extraordinarily personable and very friendly with us.
Our first time in we were pleased to see how lovely the interior was. The food was fresh and flavorful!! One suggestion/wish was the mint tea actually came in traditional chi glasses & pot of hot water like they do in the Mediterranean_ mine was in a western-style teacup. It had fresh mint so, yeah it worked. The gyro my husband had was lacking meat to filling ratio (dinners be warned) but tasty. My dish was super delicious. All in all, we will be back to discover and try other entries.
Romantic setting. Food was great. Next time I will try the buffet.

My husband and I have been customers for 10 years. We went again this past Saturday and had an absolutely delightful experience at this authentic Lebanese restaurant. The moment we stepped in, you are captivated by the charming atmosphere and beautiful decor that transported us to the heart of Lebanon. The menu offers a tantalizing array of traditional dishes that were bursting with flavors and authenticity. Every bite was a journey through Lebanese culinary traditions, leaving our taste buds dancing with joy.
What truly elevated the experience is the impeccable service. The staff is always attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture and flavors of Lebanon. The son and owner are great chefs and hosts. From recommendations to accommodating dietary preferences, they went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The combination of delectable food, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service made this restaurant a true gem. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their mouthwatering dishes !
I went there for a Friday lunch buffet once. The server was very attentive. They have many different dishes to choose from, fresh and tasty. It is not your typical all your can eat buffet quality. It is high quality. The rice pudding as a dessert is very delicious. I am glad that I tried this for at least once. It a very valued lunch buffet. I believe that they don’t have dinner buffet.
The food at Mandaloun is probably the best food I've ever eaten. The little hole in the wall restaurant packs an incredible punch when it comes to their cuisine. I've never experienced Lebanese food like I've had here at Mandaloun and I'm Lebanese. The Owner/Chef welcomed us in at the door and came and checked up on us during our service. Prices were well worth it as the experience we had was incredible.
My new favorite stop for grape leaves and strong coffee. The patio area reminds me of a place I used to go to in Chicago. Name something better than some fresh air, good food, strong coffee and a cigarette? It's not possible. It feels like a hidden gem here, I will be back.
My first time here and it was AMAZING! A hidden gem tucked away in a plaza off of Baymeadows. Every bite was so so good. Service was good. The owner Pierre came over to make sure we enjoyed our meal which was a nice touch. Highly recommend.
Loved the Lamb here!!! Im usually picky about the way the lamb is made and last night we stopped by before closing and had a quick bite to eat here. I enjoyed the it very much! I was not a fan of the cheese and meat pies. Seemed like they need a little more seasoning. The vegetables were done right not overly cooked. Just perfect. Thank you for a good experience and service.
