Middle Eastern Restaurants near Rockville, MD

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“Best Kabob spot in the area! The meat is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The portions are super generous, and the sides, especially the rice and salad, are fresh and flavorful. The vibe of the place is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of spot you want to keep coming back to. Honestly, some of the best kabobs I’ve ever had! Highly recommend checking it out!“

“We've been driving all the way down to Moby Dicks at the Kentlands, and then to the new Shady Grove restaurant, from Thurmont, MD. Yes, the food is that good! Now there's one in Frederick.���“

“If you have ever questioned whether or not there is a God, I implore you to eat at this restaurant! A delicious meal brought to me by an angel. After finishing my meal, I felt the unrelenting urge to call my mother just to tell her I loved her.“

“I went there today for a nice lunch date and I requested to get all the food gluten free. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about what was gluten free on the menu and made sure to bring out the salads and explain which one was which. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the pargiyot skewer but was not personally a fan of the lam kebab flavor. When the waiter came over and asked how everything was, I told him everything was great. He saw I had not eaten the lamb and asked me about it. Im not a complainer so I said it just wasn’t my taste. Well, when we brought us the check, he only charged us for the pargiyot and comped the lamb! I am blown away by my experience at Al Ha’esh. Excellent customer service and food! 👍“

“I very often use Yekta for my dinner parties. The food is consistently delicious and they are very accommodating regarding how I like to serve my food. It is exactly the way I want it. I really can’t say enough nice things about Yekta. I can’t rate the atmosphere as it is carry out only. I always speak to the person in charge of catering. I tell them how I like my salad and they make it exactly as I ask for. The kabobs are always fresh and delicious. I always tell them not to give me too much rice because I always end up with too much rice left over. The guy in charge always gives me the right amount.
Thank you for the delicious food.“

“Best food joint out there. :)“

“Lovely food and very fresh. I had the traditional and really liked the tabbouleh and falafel. Chicken shawarma was perfect, so flavorful and I will be ordering again. Spicy hummus with hot pita was great and don’t forget to ask for garlic sauce. I wouldn’t recommend the chicken samosa as it was quite bland and the dough was very thick. Baba ganoush was a bit smoky for my liking. Otherwise, very nice spot and I would highly recommend!“

“If you're a fan of bold flavors and fresh ingredients, District Falafel is a must-visit! From the moment you step in, the welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The food is nothing short of perfection—tender and flavorful on the inside, with the perfect balance of spices.

Their variety of dips and toppings and sides makes every bite feel like a new adventure. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal, the quality and care that goes into each dish is undeniable. The staff (and owner) is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place.

If you're looking for a spot that serves authentic, mouthwatering Mediterranean cuisine, District Falafel should be at the top of your list! Highly Recommend!“

“Dietary restrictions: Per their website, all food is halal

Kid-friendliness: My husband and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I saw a family with kids there (under the age of 12). I personally would not recommend bringing kids and I wouldn't bring my own until they were late teenagers. The atmosphere and food options are not really kid friendly“

“It was good. Stellar option for a light dinner“

“We love this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. I even dream about the Bacchus eggplant dip! ?The stuffed grape leaves are the best I’ve ever had. I also love the lamb kabob. Most pleasant, is the warm welcome and excellent service. If you happen to go on a Friday or Saturday night when there’s a belly dancer performing, it’s just the cherry on top, with a fun atmosphere as if all the guests are family in one big party.“

“Thank you for an amazing dinner“

“The food and service at this place is always awesome. Especially the gentleman who runs the front of the house. His name is Marvin, and he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. If you want good food, pretty quickly, and like people in general, this is a great place to get it. I've become a regular customer and I love this place.“

“I came in here for my lunch break. Although the food was a little bit pricey it was worth it. I got the salmon kabob with double rice and I wasn't disappointed. Salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The roasted red tomatoes and onions were cooked perfect as well. The drink Kevita I got with it was perfect. Would definitely recommend this place to others.“

“Lebanese taverna is smaller spot in Silver Spring we stopped in to get Some Lebanese food as I am part Lebanese Most of the food was decent and authentic I especially enjoyed the mango lassi To the point I got two and also the fatayer cheese and kibbeh which were very enjoyable.Although, I personally was not the biggest fan of the hummus or falafel I respect the cooking because it was still decent and all families food differs.To add on the Prices were reasonable, atmosphere was nice and calm they had a bar for many Lebanese dips, and spices all while the staff were professional and friendly.“

“As much as I love the local staples like Ledos, Stained Glass, etc... this is hands down my favorite pizza spot in Mo Co and probably the DMV. It also has the best cheesesteak in Bethesda for sure, despite the claims of Peter's Carryout a few blocks over. I've tried other sandwiches here and they're all very good, but for the past couple years I've religiously stuck to either my steak and cheese + fries or a large double pepperoni.

After talking with the owner, he credits the halal ingredients for the taste which serves my pork restriction perfectly. To get an idea of it, I would say the pizza is like a much higher quality version Pizza Boli's style if that makes sense. There was a time that the pizza was slightly overdone and it was STILL pretty delicious.

My second favorite pizza place in the area is coincidentally around the corner. M & N's, another phenomenal halal spot. But they're a bit more expensive and their sandwiches are nowhere near as good as Aden. Out of the dozen restaurants focusing on pizza in downtown Bethesda, these two are the kings in my opinion.

Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Lots of non-meat options ranging from the pizza to falafel, mozzarella sticks, etc.

Dietary restrictions: Halal!“
