It’s one of my favorite Lebanese restaurants.

Food was incredible. We did hot and cold appetizers plus several plates to share. Kitchen was slow with some items and waiter had too many tables so was slow with drink refills and service. But still was a great experience. One of our party was in a wheelchair and it was tight, parking and getting into the restaurant in a wheelchair was tricky. Reasonable price. Will be back.

Wonderful food and service. The hummus was delicious as was the chicken curry. They have a very nice wine selection.

When my wife and I got married we went to a Lebanese restaurant the night after our reception. It was our first meal as a married couple and shares a special place in our heart. This is the first Lebanese restaurant we’ve been to in the decade+ since that night that we both have said is better! We don’t live in DC but we will detour here every time we come through!

Lebanese Taverna’s food is hit or miss imo. Last time I was here the hummus was good and the pitas were really fresh but the rest was mediocre. Everything should be good every time given how much they charge. It’s nice sitting outside though, minus the mosquitos.

I really enjoyed this place. I had the mixed platter. It was very good. Service was great. Decor was nice. I think this is the original location. I would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful experience tonight with my wife and brother-in-law. Sanisha was an excellent server and made the meal perfect. Her wine suggestions and food recommendations were on point. Great spot!

Lebanese Taverna is an upscale restaurant in Arlington serving traditional and gourmet Medditranean fare. Inside the restaurant they have dimmed lights and black tablecloths. The servers will quickly bring you hot pita bread while you survey the tempting menu that includes shawarma sandwiches, salads, and gourmet entrees.

Delicious Lebanese food. Service was a tad slow, but friendly. Loved the vibe. Could use more parking.

We were there yesterday for dinner. We love the server. He was funny and friendly guy who’s name is Lopez. But the reason i am giving 4 stars is the lamb sharhat. I was totally disappointed. I couldn’t evet eat the food. Probably it wasn’t fresh. The rest was good and i know the restaurant since 2018. So it could’ve been better. The passion fruit punch is the best cocktail ever. Thank you!
