We went here with friends last Saturday, 7/27 for the second time. They know and are friends with the owner. He helped us order and we got quite the spread - Beirut Special, Vegetarian Platter, Kofta kebabs, lamb shank, and makanek. I've never liked babaghanouj before I had it at Mijana. It was so, so, so good! Tabbouleh was also great and pita bread with zatar was also good. The food was fantastic, but the service left much to be desired. The lamb shank and kebabs came out lightening fast - making me concerned about the kitchen and how prepared it was before we ordered it. Then it was a good 15 minutes before the rest of the food came out. We had to ask twice for the pita bread, and my water was empty more often than full. The waitress had a "greater than tho" attitude and was not very friendly. They often have live entertainment and/or dances, Last Saturday was no exception, but the gal that danced when we first got there wasn't great. If I could, I'd give 2 stars for service and 4 for food. Hurray for authentic Lebanese food and an ethnic experience in what can be a rather dull and homogenic restaurant scene.

Tonight I had a great dinner with my husband. Tori did a great job taking care of us in the lounge area. The strawberry peach sangria was delicious, sweet and great flavor, so good I drank 3 :). My hunny had ice cold bud light. I had the sirloin (mw) and grilled shrimp(4) with a loaded potato and fresh broccoli. it was very filling. My husband had the build your own steak with the sirloin (mw) with the seasonings but cooked on the grill which he thought was a little on thw dry side. He had the aussie fries as his side but thought they were soggy and bland, he preffers large steak fries. His dinner presentation was on the boring side, not very impressing but his dinner salad that he started with was fantastic. It was the perfect salad for my husband... Lettuce, cheese, croutons, bacon and ranch only. It was crisp and delicious. We will definitly be back to visit Tori, thanks for the great experience!!

Online restaurants is awesome! I first tried this website about 2 years ago and love it. I usually order from this place once a week if not more. Some of the restaurants I frequently order from are Amore taste of Chicago I recommend the deep dish pizza mad Greek has some great gyros and taste of china has an awesome deal on the family dinners. A bonus to using the online restaurants website is they always seem to have coupons and discounts for all of their contracted restaurants. Also, Drivers are very quick on the order! Five stars !!

Gimme a break, this is an imitation Mexican restaurant run by McDonalds. I'm from Urbana and I live in a very competitive place for mexican food, San Diego, CA. The best thing that can be said about the food is, (a) Its not expensive for the amount you get, (b) It's unlikely to cause indigestion, and (c) If you've never tried mexican before, this won't turn you away forever. Otherwise, compared to many other mexican fast-food restaurants, this one is highly forgettable. Example : L.S. (CA West Coast), much better, a 5-star fast-food mexican restaurant. Example : R. (National), much better, a little pricier than the one above and salsas not as good, a 4-star fast-food mexican restaurant, and a publically traded company. Example : T.B. (National). Ok, it's not really mexican, but I enjoy their "imaginary" mexican creations, such as the 7-layer burrito and their chalupas, 3 stars.
