Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The lentils were cooked perfectly, and the noodles were nice and chewy. I also liked the flavor of the sauce. However, I did find the dish to be a bit too oily for my taste.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more spices.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best Syrian dish he's ever had. I would definitely make this dish again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

This dish was okay. The lentils were a bit too al dente for my taste, and the noodles were a bit too soft. I also found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added some more spices.

Not a fan. The lentils were overcooked and the noodles were mushy. I also found the flavor to be bland. I won't be making this dish again.
