Absolutely delicious! Loved talking to the owner too. She makes everything and it was so flavorful and fresh. We had the vegetarian kibbeh, tabouli, labneh, falafel wrap and zaatar fries. Highly recommend eating here! Fantastic vegetarian options too.

Food is AMAZING I am actually half Lebanese and moved here over 13 years ago and am always looking for good authentic middle eastern/Lebanese food. This is it. As good as my mom and aunties make (and me, too). We have literally tried 80% of Everything on the menu - from the appetizers - kibbeh, falafel, tabouleh, etc- all So delicious, but the kibbeh is our favorite! And the falafel is a close second- to the sandwhiches (which come with fries) and platters (which come with rice). We love all things kofta and my picky daughter loved the the chicken options. The owner has been there everytime we go by. We have ordered take out and dine in. What we really enjoy is the small town friendliness and personal attention to detail and the customer. I enjoyed seeing the family vibes when I see her 2 daughters doing homework or helping out in the restaurant because it feels more personal....and that's the most challenging experience to receive anywhere so extra plus on that front. We eat here regularly and highly recommend Flavors of Phoenicia for anyone who appreciates quality tasty food! I wish I had more photos but I tend to eat so fast I forget.

Wonderful. Best casual spot in Sandpoint. The service was the best we've had in years! We brought 6 on little kids with us and the staff couldn't have been nicer or more understanding. We ordered fries for the kids just in case, but we didn't need to because the appetizers, to family platter, and drinks were all delicious. Our kids even admired the decorations and the bathroom. We even bought chocolate and spices off their snack shelf for later. They even knew where we could buy swim diapers in town (Yokes, btw).This was honestly so great!!!

The food, service, and atmosphere are all incredible! If you're looking for a flavor-packed, home-cooked style meal, this is the place to go. My entire experience was lovely, but above all, the food was amazing - I ate every last bite, and I wish I could've tried everything on the menu. They have great drinks and dessert options, too! The atmosphere is really nice - very cozy with great lighting and a modern feel. Very clean and quiet. The service was phenomenal, and the staff/owners were very friendly. I highly recommend checking it out next time you're in the Sandpoint area - you won't be disappointed!

Family owned and operated. The food is spiced incredibly well. All recipes are passed down from family. Desserts are amazing! We were in town for a weekend and ate there several times
