Not trying to start anything but the picture for "starlight93", I can't help but notice that you are an employee at Sevan. I have been in there many times and I recognize you from your picture. While I know you must be proud of where you work or you would not have taken the time to come on here and write what you did, I also don't think this is a fair practice. I also think it is extremely unprofessional for you to call out other reviewers. If you offer a salad on your menu it should be up for review just as any other item is. Lastly, you are exaggerating a bit on the average price of an entree. It is not $9 but closer to $12 or $13. Not that there is a huge difference but that is misleading for potential diners. Just wanted to put this out there.

Sorry to say...

Going off the reviews on here my boyfriend and I decided to try this place last night. We're new in town and big foodies so we're always looking for restaurants that are unique and have something different to offer.

I hate to hinder the love here but I have to say this place was a huge disappointment. This was not helped by the fact that we drove almost 50 miles round trip (we're in Arlington) to eat here.

Right off the bat I was not impressed by the menu. The food seemed like pretty simple Greek fare that could easily be prepared at home for a lot cheaper. It's not that a lot of the food didn't sound good but again I'm not going to pay $15 for grilled chicken and roasted vegetables that I can prepare in my kitchen any night of the week.

We decided to start off with the roasted eggplant dip. It was okay; not terrible, not great.

We then both decided to get the grilled chicken salad. (Not planned that way just happened to be the only thing that either of us could half way get excited about since at least it did mention a homemade dressing and an array of vegetables)

The salad was a good salad. It was plentiful in chicken and did have all the mentioned vegetables...sort of. My salad had no bell peppers whatsoever, not the first one. My boyfriend's salad, however, was loaded with them. Not even exaggerating I would say he had the equivalent of an entire bell pepper in his salad. Since he loathes bell peppers I felt really bad for him but offered to take some of them off his hands.

The place was not busy at all. Plenty of empty tables which I found odd for a Friday night between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. Although they were not busy the service was extremely slow. I asked for a refill when our meal came and received one approximately 10 minutes later. When we were finished eating we sat there with our forks and napkins on our plates clearly indicating we were finished eating. After another 10 to 15 minutes of sitting like this with no acknowledgment from the staff I called our server over and asked for our ticket. After another 5 minutes or so she came back from the kitchen, empty handed, looked at our table and did the "Ohh" and went back to return with our ticket a few more minutes later.

Obviously I was not at all impressed by this place. The food was decent but all factors considered I was pretty disappointed to drive 50 miles and spend around $40 (drinks, tax, and tip included) for eggplant dip and two salads.

• Pros: No wait for a table
• Cons: Quite a few

Fantastic food/prices/decor/service

We learned about this restaurant because the owners were our neighbors. I didn't think I would like Lebanese food, but I just flew all the way back from SD after we moved there, to come back and eat George and Grace's food. How is that for dedication to their cooking. They believe in only using the freshest, best ingredients and will except nothing less. Their children help out once in a while and are learning great Christian, American values and how to work hard and enjoy our freedoms. We love their Cafe and would recommend everyone to try it out. You too will be a fan for life! I love their shrimp curry and my daughter loves their chicken Kabob!

• Pros: Everything is awesome
• Cons: Can't eat there every meal or I would be huge
