Wednesdays mean you have three opportunities this week to lunch at Suraya! We always recommend starting with the hummous – traditional, crispy cauliflower, short rib, or fatar (mushroom) – always served with fresh, warm pita. See you beginning at 11.

Kibbeh Nayyeh is not only a beloved Lebanese dish, but it is widely regarded as the national dish of Lebanon. In Middle Eastern culture, it represents trust and connection to tradition. At Suraya – where we always base our menu around tradition – we prepare this Levantine classic with raw lamb, bulgur, sweet onion, basil, mint, marjoram, and long hots. Enjoy this cold mezza with dinner tonight!
