One of the standout dishes at Suraya is the Kanafeh, a traditional Lebanese dessert that combines crispy kataifi and semolina with melted fresh cheese curd, finished with rose blossom syrup and crushed pistachios. The combination of sweet and savory flavors in this dish is truly remarkable.

Furthermore, the beverage options at Suraya are equally impressive, with unique offerings such as Lebanese Chai Latte, Tea Leaves, and Hairbender Drip. Each drink is expertly crafted and pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the dishes.

    This place was such a gem. We were celebrating a special occasion and Iā€™m so happy we chose to do it here. From the host to the servers, everyone was fantastic. The restaurant itself is stunning with beautiful decor. I loved how clean their bathroom was which was very refreshing to see. The ambiance in this place is perfect for a date night or even a night out with your girls. Finally, the food was some of the best Lebanese food I have ever had. / absolutely divine. They were also very attentive to the fact that we were celebrating something special. Absolutely cannot wait to come back again!

    So glad we got to come try this restaurant out. Yummy. Delicious. The customer service was great. My moms st birthday was quaint and quality. Every dish was impeccable. Get the desserts. We ordered the tasting menu mezze plates and pita. We had the warak seller yummy. My favorite was the fattouch. The grilled cousin chicken was my favorite too. The vegetarian mujarada was fantastic. The desserts blew our minds. The sundae and cake.

    Stunning entryway. Attentive servers, unique dishes, beautiful ambiance. Highly recommend the lamb and fish entrees. The neighboring table had the chicken entreĢe delivered late so the people were asked if they wanted desserts on the house. The couple said no. The restaurant ended up comping their chicken.The bathroom was scented with perfume. Very clean.

    Lebanese food has always been one of my favourites from around the world and Suraya served us some of the tastiest dishes from this beautiful country. We opted for the Tasting Menu and it was really delicious, from the mezes to the desserts. Itā€™s also worth mentioning that the place itself is very calming and matches the vibe of the food being served. Service was also spot on and the staff helped us with some recommendations.
