Hosted my 40th birthday party here and it was the BEST! The rice, chicken, beef, hummus & salad were delicious! Owner and staff provided wonderful service! The back room is perfect for large groups!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. Probably the best hummus we have ever had, and the chicken skewers were extremely tender and juicy. Everything had really great flavors, and the portion sizes were very generous. I am already looking forward to returning. They also do catering, which is definitely a place I will turn to for large events.

This place is the absolute best! The food is out of this world delicious and fresh, the service is so warm and friendly, and the pricing is generous! Part of me wants to keep it on the DL it’s so good- but I love it so much I want everyone to come so this place thrives. The two times I have come I had no wait for a table and my order was correct and scrumptious- I love the mini dips, falafel plate and chicken kabob- perfect amount for two to share!

We recently started using Hoda catering for breakfast and lunch meals. The food is fantastic, and includes all of the dietary needs of our employees. (i.e. gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan etc..) The delivery and setup at our office has been perfect and we will be ordering more meals in the near future. Thank you so much for providing such a great experience.

We had an amazing experience dining at Hoda's with our family! We started with drinks from the bar (my favorite was the Za'atar Paloma) a sampler vegetarian platter that was amazing! We then enjoyed the salmon, sea bass, lamb chops, and the Mixed Grill (lamb, chicken, and beef). We thoroughly enjoyed EVERYTHING!!! If you are looking for a fantastic meal for you, family, or friends do not pass up Hoda's!

Dude. Yes. This is my friend group’s celebratory destination. We get 8-10 of us and order the Hoda’s Feast and some bottles of wine. Eat and drink like royalty without breaking the bank. There is not a single bad thing that we have eaten here. The service is always killer and I cannot wait to find something to celebrate here again.

Best restaurant we've been to in years. The rose and saffron ice cream was such an incredible flavor combo. Staff was extremely friendly and genuine and the portions were great. I can't recommend this place enough

A Wonderful Experience at Hoda’s Authentic Lebanese Restaurant We had the pleasure of hosting both a wedding and a birthday party at Hoda’s Authentic Lebanese Restaurant, and both experiences were excellent. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly. They went out of their way to ensure our guests were comfortable and well taken care of, and we truly felt like we were treated like family. The food was delicious—authentic Lebanese flavors with fresh ingredients and well-balanced seasoning. From the hummus to the grilled meats, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and enjoyed by all. Overall, Hoda’s provided a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our celebrations truly special. Whether for a large gathering or a casual meal, it’s a great place for quality food and genuine hospitality.
