Food was good and VERY reasonably priced but the 5 stars are for coolness factor and the very nice staff.
The cafe (which is a converted house) has a sign on the front door that says "Come to the kitchen and ask for Mona" or something along those lines. Mona is very friendly and was a pleasure to speak to while we ate.
I do recommend getting reservations if your party is more than 4 -- there are only a few tables that seat larger groups. -

When I heard about this Lebanese Cafe and antique shop, I thought what a bizarre combination. But it all made sense when I visited the quaint house filled with small dining spaces between three different rooms and an aromatic kitchen. The upper level and the house itself is filled with antiques for sale!
The menu is short and simple. The food is also very simple with a home cooked feeling but served in pretty dishes with lovely presentations. I loved all three dishes that we ordered - Ratatouille, baba ganoush and chicken shawarma platter. My hubby has had really good chicken shawarma in Saudi Arabia so the seasoned here is mediocre to him. I was very pleased with the flavors of that dish and how the chicken isn't dry. The Ratatouille has a sweet and cinnamon taste with the tomatoes. The baby ganoush is creamy and flavorful.
The service made the best impression. Everyone was so inviting and hospitable. The extra touches to the food made it feel like we were dining at their home for Sunday supper. They truly made our time extra special. -

I've had Mona's bookmarked forever and finally got a chance to try it out for the first time with M.
The restaurant is in a house. There is a small parking lot in front of Mona's. Upon entering, we immediately felt like we were at our aunt's home. I love the cozy feel and beautiful antique pieces all around. The ambiance is very laid back. Our server was incredibly attentive, friendly, and welcoming. I can't stress enough how much we enjoyed our meal. Everything from start to finish was delicious. Homemade, perfectly seasoned, nothing was overly salty, fresh, and quality ingredients used. I don't think there is one thing off their menu that would disappoint us. It's all so good.
To top it off, Mona is the sweetest! She welcomes you, makes you feel at home, and gives the best hugs. We had an amazing time here, you can't beat good food and great company. They have an outdoor patio too where you can see cute squirrels and birds as you enjoy your meal. They also sell antiques here.
Overall, I will be back. Again and again and again! -

Closed until 4 to 12 September. Kind of a shame to have drove in traffic during rush hour to find this out...I've never heard of a restaurant just being closed for the week. The restaurant is like in a house that is rented I guess is what I found out

It is so worth it to come visit Mona's.
You truly feel welcomed into someone's home. Dishes were packed with flavor. I ordered the Shish Taouk and Tabouli salad. Decent portion and super fresh ingredients. My husband got a combo of chicken and beef shawarma platter and he enjoyed it.
PS the lemonade + rice pudding with a hint of rose water was on point.
They also do Uber Eats so I'm definitely going to order from work.
