I loved the dining experience here. They really allow you to taste everything and it's very filling! The food is fresh and... delicious. They have unlimited pita bread which is delightful. Staff and service was top notch. Very down to earth restaurantbut with high quality food and the prices were not outrageous. Read more

Hoda’s catered the rehearsal dinner for our son’s rehearsal dinner. The food was amazing and the staff was very... professional and attentive to all our guests while serving. I highly recommend them! Read more

We love Hoda's and have been coming here for over a decade. The quality of the food is unmatched — a Lebanese friend said the... tabouleh was among the best he's ever had outside of Lebanon. Dining in is a great experience, they do get busy sometimes butthe food is worth the wait. Unfortunately, ordering takeout is not worth it. We have ordered takeout from Hoda's at least 6times over the course of the pandemic (and dined in a couple times since then too). Takeout orders have consistently been lateand incomplete. One order was missing nearly half the items. We called back and they said we could come pick up the items theyforgot to include, but when we showed up it took another 45 minutes for them to give us the rest of the order. Not even apartial refund was offered. Yesterday we called in a takeout order and it was again not ready until over half an hour past thepickup time. We asked them to double check that everything was included, which they did... when we got to the car we doublechecked ourselves and found that two items were missing. We walked back in and were able to get the missing items. At this pointI would only dine in here; the food is good but it's too much trouble to consistently be missing parts of the order and have towait so long to get it. Read more

Amazing place, one of the best. Came right after opening so it wasn’t too busy. Service is outstanding and the food is even... better, not too expensive at all! Such a gem of a restaurant. Pictured is the appetizer that comes for free :) delicious Read more

I have eaten a lot of international cuisines over my life experiences. Hoda tops the line in service and food quality.... Absolutely the best middle Eastern food I've had the privelage of trying. The owner also turned out to know my teacher in highschool, so the experience turned out to be a special one. We ordered the meal for two which came with chicken and lamb shawarmaalong with two different types of hummus, some wine (maryhill), an ipa for myself, and the BEST Baklava I've ever tasted. Pleasedo yourself and your family and favor and visit this place for the sake of your taste buds! Read more

DELICIOUS Lebanese food. Our waiter was fine. Friendly enough even if a tad inefficient on a quiet Monday night. For 3 of us, we... ordered the Beirut for 2 plus an order of felafel. It was enough for 4+ people. So. Good. Read more

Wonderful family-owned business since 1999. It's been a year and 7 months since I've been able to go out and have a meal and I... chose Hoda's as my welcome back to society dine in meal. And I was not disappointed. The staff was courteous and greeted me assoon as I came in with a smile, I was dining alone so I chose a table towards the back and immediately had water and menus.They've added some very interesting combinations and they're wonderful standbys. I chose to splurge by having the Lebanese lambshank with house salad upgraded to include olives and feta cheese. Locally sourced ingredients which made it so fresh anddelicious! Side note: the cocktail menu has been revised and looks really intriguing, but I chose to have water and willdefinitely give one of their cocktails to try next time I'm in. Read more
