Times Description

The Middle Eastern cuisine at Alcazar is only part of the deal. The speciality here is Lebanese dishes, and here are more mezzas (Lebanese appetizers) on the menu than entrees: 23 cold options (such as cooked lamb tongue and stuffed eggplant) and 27 hot ones (like spiced meat pie), to be exact. There’s even an $84.95 Royal Mezza Combination for those with severe difficulty in selecting just a few! Friday and Saturday nights feature a DJ, belly dancing, and Vatche – the Armenian owner – singing in five different languages. For $43, you get all of this entertainment along with mezzas, entrees and desserts served family style. Alcazar’s lush garden patio, which is almost the size of the dining room itself, is a cozy setting in which to enjoy a flavored tobacco-filled hookah with family, friends, and other mezza-loving locals.

    "Not so happy - Don'tt recommend"

    The food is good, the service is very bad and lousy eventhough they had so many workers. Restaurant was 1/4 full with no singers or dancers even it was a weekend. Not recommended unless you are desperate for ood. Better of going to Mirage couple blocks away.

    Though the food is above average, it's hardly worth the wait! We waited a full hour for our food. It was like pulling teeth to get the waiter's attention....
