Mijana are the poetry verses in the beginning of Lebanese songs to inspire love, devotion, morals and values. So is the mezza in Lebanese cuisine: the start of a feast with small bites and big flavors. To keep this tradition an important part of our social life, here at Mijana you will enjoy this relaxing period in which to eat and drink while listening and dancing to our selective Lebanese and nearby Mediterranean countries' native hit songs. Our menu provides a wide choice of cold and hot mezza accompanied by a variety of grilled lamb, beef(filet mignon), chicken, seafood and vegetable kabobs. All the meals here come with our freshly baked pita bread which is baked in our stonewood pita oven. Make sure to keep room for the last temptation which is our made from scratch desserts and seasonal fruit dishes. At Mijana we serve an abundant array of natural foods and our staff enjoys practicing the graceful art of true hospitality. Belly dancing on Saturday evenings.

Excellent restaurant with generous portions and authentic food!
Well you might find halal food but beware of full alcohol bar and belly dance and everything else that is definitely NOT halal!
Jacob provided incredible service for dine in dinner! Food came out hot, fresh, and quick! A good selection of vegetarian and meat dishes and we had the pistachio baklava for dessert. The ambience is very nice - looking forward to going back!
The food I tried was very good, even though it did not meet my expectations. I found it to be a little simple, good but simple. The service was a little slow, and the food was somewhat cool, not warm enough. It almost felt like the food was waiting while the waiter was busy running other tables. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was great. They had a social dancing event at the time, which we enjoyed a lot. They even had Salsa dance lessons. I would go back to try something else. Maybe my dish was just too simple.
The hot Pita bread and olive oil sesame dip was nice The beef and chicken shawarma were dry and salty. My wife had the beef kabob and it was extra dry. I questioned if the meat was leftover from the night before. We were using a Groupon. The flavors were fine and the salad was very good. Our server was super nice and helpful.
The food was amazing! Highly recommend the lamb shank (so soft). We also had the tabouli salad, mussels and gyro plate. Everything from food to drinks was delicious. We found this place on yelp, and placed a reservation via the website. We came on a Thursday night, which meant there was dancers! They kept the music at a good volume, where we could still have conversation and enjoyed the dancing.The chairs in the restaurant were comfortable to sit in and the environment was beautiful. Overall 10/10 and we will definitely be back! It was so cute how they set up our table for us when we arrived. I don’t write many reviews but this place blew me away.
Tried this restaurant Friday afternoon. Looks like it’s a great place to go during evening hours as they have music and belly dance. There are multiple vegetarian choices. We tried falafel wrap and honestly not much impressed. Falafel was crispy on the outside but was a little raw inside. Wasn’t cooked properly. Looking at the overall place, I have a feeling we might have got a bad one. I’ll probably give another try when I’m around. Service was fine.
I visited this restaurant just recently for the first time. We were here for a group "cooking class", which was a lot of fun. It wasn't the traditional cooking class, we watched them make a few dishes and then the kitchen brought out what was demonstrated, which was so good and flavorful! (Hummus, Tabouli, Baba Ghannouj & Chicken Shawarma) I definitely want to go back there to visit the restaurant part and enjoy some of the meals on the menu. Definitely coming back!
We arrived just as they opened and we ordered to go but asked for the ice cream capped baklava to savor while we waited. They were delish. We drove home with the food and what a treat! Everything was labeled and tasted wonderful! Highly recommend!
Great food and ambience!! Absolutely loved the food... Hookah was also great. Staff is very friendly and attentive!! Highly recommend if you're in the area.
