I am a regular visitor as it is close to our office, the service is efficient, friendly and caring. Food is fresh, tasty with great sauces. Can’t get better than this in the area.

Leb Tav is a gem! The chicken shawarma pita was bursting with flavor, the beef shawarma was tender and perfectly spiced, and the falafel was crispy outside, soft inside—absolutely delicious. The seasoned French fries were a great side, and their sauces bar is a highlight, offering a rich variety of bold, fresh flavors to customize every bite. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Stopped by Lebtav for lunch and was honestly blown away. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming—you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. The food? Fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great service and great food!

Grateful that this place is still here when all my other favorite dining spots in the neighborhood have closed. Can always rely on them for comforting Mediterranean food, whether that's lamb or salmon or your more conventional meats. Fresh and warm whole wheat pita and authentic hummus. I especially love their corner of freshly made sauces -- their own tahini, garlic dip, harissa, yogurt, etc. Service was courteous and really fast. I like how bright this place is, too. You can order online and just pick up if you want. They also offer a mini grocery of Lebanese food stuff.

Just tried the new Lebanese Taverna at 888 17th St NW, DC — and WOW! As someone who’s enjoyed Middle Eastern food all her life, this place truly stands out. The flavors are authentic and absolutely delicious. 🍽️

Best shawarma and service in town! It was my first time and impressed with the cleanliness, service, and professionalism! Will be back soon! Thank you LebTav!

LebTav is more than just a restaurant — it’s a home away from home. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, generosity, and a true taste of Lebanon. The food is exceptional — from the freshly baked pita and creamy hummus to the mouthwatering shawarma and flavorful tabbouleh, everything is made with care and authenticity.
A special shoutout to Alberto, the heart and soul of LebTav. His passion, kindness, and attention to every detail make all the difference. You can feel his love for Lebanese culture in every dish and every interaction. Thank you, Alberto, for creating a space that brings people together through food and hospitality. Highly recommended!

OMG this place has such great food. I ordered the chicken bowl and it came with a freshly baked pita bread. Food tasted great and I love that it’s family owned.
The food was authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The shawarma and hummus perfectly seasoned and a friendly staff! See you again soon.

I was excited to visit this place during my break, but my experience was deeply disappointing. While the food was decent and the venue was clean, the customer service was shockingly poor, and I can't help but wonder if my identity as a Black woman played a role in how I was treated.
On my first visit, I paid with Apple Pay, but the man at the register didn’t ring me up—an older lady did. When I tried to collect my food, he acted as if he hadn’t seen my payment and even suggested I was trying to steal my order. Despite showing my receipt, he continued to give off an attitude that was both embarrassing and uncomfortable.
During my second visit, I encountered another issue. I approached the register politely, only to have the lady snatch my money from my hand. When I pointed out that her behavior was rude, she just laughed it off. I felt belittled and disrespected, and I made the decision then and there that I will never return.
This establishment needs to seriously improve its customer service. No one should ever have to endure such treatment.

We had an amazing dining experience at LebTav Restaurant in DC! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The quality and freshness of the ingredients were evident in every bite. The restaurant was also spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
But what truly made our experience stand out was the exceptional service. The owner and staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel welcome and valued, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.
We highly recommand Leb Tav Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We can't wait to go back!
The food is awesome! I ordered a beef shawarma Taverna Platter and it was delicious! I definitely recommend it. Service is also very quick and the staff was friendly. The place was very clean
