Great kebobs
by famousblueraincoat at Citysearch
combo plate is very good. the meat is very flavorful, more cooked than i like but still very good. even the chicken breast wasn't too dry. comes with hummus, rice and salad for $13.95 or so. Skip the appetizer veggie sampler. Grape leaves were too salty, falafel too dry, phyllos were good but too phyllo-y--not enough filling. Baba ghanoush was good but at almost $4 a bit pricey. I'd say grab to go. Not a lot of seating. Fast service.
- Pros: great kebobs, good hummus
- Cons: veggie platter not good, somewhat pricey

Lebanese Food that tastes just like home!!! Authentic and Delicious!
by montrealgirl at Citysearch
I have been coming to Sunnin for the last 6 years. I have tried every Lebanese restaurant in the city and this is the best one, hands down. It is home cooking at it's best.
It is a small little whole in the wall but do not let that fool you!
My mother is father is Lebanese and I grew eating this food so when I discovere Sunnin years ago, I was a very happy girl!
I still love to cook my own Lebanese food but it is very time consuming to make so this place always hits the spot when I am not in the mood to cook.
The tabouleh, mujadara, babaganoush and kibbeh are always delicious but
the daily menu is always my favorite! I always calls ahead for the choices of the day....
My all time favorites: the Yabra and Cousa combo (stuffed grape leaves and stuffed zucchini)
For desert, the bakleweh (often confused with it's greek counterpart ~ Baklava) is good but mine is better:)
One of my favourite neighbourhood places...
- Pros: AUTHENTIC Lebanese food, quality food, generous portions, inexpensive
- Cons: Always full, a little cramped
