This place was recommended to me a few years ago by some friends that said it was a great place to eat on 2nd St. Since it's a 5 min walk from my home, I decided to see what the hype was all about. I left there disappointed. I gave it a try a few months later and the same. It is the most mediocre place in Belmont Shore. When it's busy there, everyone blocks the sidewalk and you have to almost shove people out of the way to get by. Plus the manager walks around like he's a big shot which shows that he's really an a--hole. And to top it off, they opened up another one down the street where the Steakorama used to be (R.I.P.). Great. Two restaurants that serve the same boring and over-rated garbage. Pros: none Cons: where should I start?

The place comes off as classy, even expensive... But if you know what to get-- you will surely get full without paying for full price. Plates are huge!!! So try ordering sides and appetizers as part of a meal... We often get the fried potatoes (best seller!) and hummus (with their unlimited supply of pita bread)-- is a meal by itself. Order sandwiches or shawarmas instead of a whole plate... You'll save almost half, while still satisfying your hunger. They also offer HALAL meat for our Muslim brothers and sisters. Great spot!

Just look at all of the other ratings... this place is great. If you never had or just love middle eastern cuisine, this is the place to go. If you are new to middle eastern cuisine, then get the chicken tawook plate. If you know what you like, then go for it... you will not be disappointed. They are so popular, they had to open a take out location down the street to move the traffic away from their front door. THEY ARE THAT GOOD!!! Oh, make sure that you get extra "garlic sauce". It is heavenly!!! Pros: The food... of course! Cons: There usually is always a short wait... the food is THAT good!

What great find! If you like mediterrain food this is the place to go. We sat at the counter and watched as all the food was being prepared. Everything looked great. The service is fabulous. We asked so many questions re. the dishes before we ordered. Our server took time with us and made great recommendations. The is very small. I would not recommend this for a large party.

The food is delicious and reasonably priced. I can't get enough of their garlic sauce and pickles! The place is always busy, and parking on 2nd Street can be tough at peak times.

The food was great. From the Spicy Hummas to the Shredded Zucchini to the Arayes. I loved it all. Although I thought it was more Greek than Lebanese, I would definitely go back. The restaurant is very small and cramped, and the wait long. But the servers are nice and knowledgable about the menu selections, and you can stroll around the shops until your buzzer goes off to alert you that you'll be seated momentarily. Pros: Wonderful food, great services Cons: Small and fairly long wait, especially if you have a more bigger than 3.

I went to Open Sesame last night (on a Wednesday) and it was about a 20 minute wait...not too bad. We just occupied ourselves with the window shopping on 2nd Street. I had been here once before and my 2nd visit was just as enjoyable. I tried the fried potatoes for the 1st time and they were FANTASTIC! Mixed with garlic, cilantro and lemon....such a great flavor...I could have eaten a whole plate of just those. I got the CHICKEN SHAWARMA PLATE which I didn't enjoy as much to be honest. I would recommend going with the CHICKEN TAWOOK PLATE which was much more flavorful and appetizing. I will continue coming back here again and again!! Pros: Tasty Lebanese Food, friendly service, FRIED POTATOES!! Cons: Wait, crowded small space (but still worth coming)
