“ Pita bread tastes amazing! Especially eat it hot, when you tear it open you can see the unique velvet texture inside (like many threads). The salad with parsley tastes very refreshing. Beside, the entrees are mostly kabobs or lamb leg, though not surprising, but definitely at good quality. ”
“ everything was amazing this is the best restaurant in the whole world. The ambiance was off the roof amazing. I had the chicken shawarma was amazing juicy and tasted like heaven. I highly advise people to go here. My server was awesome she gave our food out very fast. ”
“ I've been coming here for 20+ years and I'll continue to do so until I no longer can. They have been a staple in my family with their great food and warm atmosphere. The kibbeh is second to none I get it every time. ”
“ We ordered a delivery and didn't dine in so I can't speak about the ambiance. We tried the falafel sandwich with fries, Kibbeh, and the shawarma rolls. The shawarma roll are A MUST TRY!! The falafel are perfect, the kibbeh was great, and nothing much to say about the fries. They're just your regular fries. ”
“ Great family style restaurant with competent and polite staff. We had many appetizers and shared several main dishes. All were excellent! We enjoyed a wonderful family birthday dinner and discovered some great new Lebanese white wines! ”
“ As the other reviews of the other Arlington, Lebanese taverna shows not every taverna is rated the same. But this one I can say is top notch. I've ordered from here more than a handful of times, and each time I received food that was not only perfectly seasoned and hot. I like my Mediterranean food hot. I usually order the chicken kebab that comes with rice pita, and some grilled veggies. I've never had a complaint about how juicy my chicken was and I've never had a complaint about anything in the food or the veggies not being chard well. I've never eaten in the restaurant so I can't speak to the service or to the ambience of the establishment or how well the dotations compliment the food, but I can say that their delivery is quick and easy and they make picking up their food from the restaurant and even simpler process. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite to eat and do you like Mediterranean food! ”
