Mousa has succeeded at creating an authentic Lebanese experience in Buffalo! Best Lebanese food I’ve had in the US in years. Amazing meat quality, bread quality, sauce quality; really best food quality overall! The sauces were amazing! The prices are really good. The portions were also very generous! I highly recommend the mixed grill!

Food is amazing. If you’re hesitant on trying their food, you most definitely should! They offer both to go and dine-in services. Food is fresh and authentic, the chicken their specialty. Owner is polite and accommodating. Would 100% recommend.

We really enjoyed our dinner here at Almaza. Service was fantastic and the food! Oh the food was delicious — not one thing left on our plates. We were so full that only one of us could handle dessert. The dessert was also good. The iced teas deserve an honorable mention because I could drink it all day. Definitely will be back!

Wonderful experience here! Guessing the owner was the waiter. Wonderful man that was very kind and very helpful for our first time here. We started with the rakakat bi jibneh and the vegetarian combo. Very tasty stuff. Then the half chicken with veggies rice and the loubie bzeit. Very good but the white meat was a tad dry. Overall good food and great service.

Lebanese food is a cuisine that has a little bit of flavor for all tastes. In WNY the options for fresh food that has layers of flavors, herbs and spices is minimal so when you find a diamond around the corner your whole palate is transported to another region of our world! I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and let me tell you their Fattoush salad is as amazing as it is in Knightsbridge, London or the Kings Road. The freshness of the sumac is addictive and refreshing at the same time and a must try for summer! Definitely try the Kibbie a delicious pocket of perfectly spiced meat and onions. And of course who could pass up Rotisserie Chicken which a 1/2 chicken comes with two sides. Try something other than fries or hummus is my suggestion, that Baba Ghanoush (eggplant) is roasted which gives the whole dish a stunning taste. The smoothies go crazy too. Honestly I’m still smiling from great eats lol.

Amazing food I truly enjoyed. I never had Lebanon food ever before I would rate this place five out of five. I would love to try rotisserie chicken next time I didn’t get to try that right now, I had chicken Shawarma and falafel and they were amazing. Falafel was crispy the way I like. .

Just incredible. If you're looking for an authentic experience. This is it. I don't know that I can recommend the chicken over the lamb. The lamb is absolutely perfect. When someone is looking for lamb, this is what they're looking for, though they don't always get it which is perhaps because the lamb has been frozen.? This lamb never Frozen. Absolutely perfect to the tooth. Somehow the chicken may be better. I'm not certain but it may be better. Obviously family owned and operated. Just a joy to go there and eat.
