Lebanese Restaurants near Silver Spring, MD

“I have ordered many catered dinners from Lebtav Silver Spring for years! Bal consistently demonstrates outstanding customer service. Food is always delicious. I have never been disappointed by their shawarma, grapes leaves, fatayer. There are few places that can offer meals to diverse guests with food restrictions (halal, vegetarian, no seafood, etc) with such wonderful service, quality, and value.“

“Lamb chops steak is delicious! The fried potatoes were delicious! Brusselsprouts with fruit jam sweet and appetizing! His family's Pitabread can continue indefinitely“

“Easily one of my top five dining experiences, anywhere. I've eaten at some of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in NYC, Philly, and D.C., and days later I'm still thinking about my meal at Albi.

The BBQ lamb kebabs were a core memory taste moment. Honestly, they may have ruined lamb for me anywhere else.

Other standouts: the sfeeha, foraged mushroom hummus with wood-fired pita, batata harra potatoes, bbq prawns, knafeh, and the super intriguing urfa biber caramel soft serve (a must if you're into sweet and spicy desserts).

Beyond the food, the service was just as memorable. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server Todd was a total gem.

Can’t wait to return.“

“An amazing dining experience!“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“We were looking for unique dining experiences while on vacation in DC and this place did not disappoint!! Excellent food, large portions, and great staff. Would definitely come here again if we’re ever back in the area.“

“I was in Arlington an hour early for an appointment and I was hungry. I walked into and Ma Sha Allah!!!!“

“Really good. Went for a girls night. Got like all the mezze and a bunch of cocktails and the lamb for the table. Everything was Amazing. Standouts were chicken skewers and beef carpaccio. O m g. The carpaccio. Omg. Tiffany our server was so awesome and nice and prompt and really really sweet we liked her a LOT. Tableside Martini was unlike any i had before. Cantelope to spain cocktail was a hit. Would def go back. Super cute on the inside with super comfortable chairs and not too loud or too quiet. I was really really happy“

“Delicious everything!!! I usually make my own tabouleh, but there’s is so great I get it from Muncheez. And the labne is the best. My daughter loves the shawarmas. Love the drinks too!!!“

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

“Had food delivered, the quinoa bowl with chicken was delicious. The lemon olive oil dressing was refreshing. The hummus trio was also, very good, I wish they had an option to order a single hummus, as the ground beef, pine nut hummus stood out. The hummus platter comes with pita and pita chips, I don't eat gluten, so I cut up some cucumber and also used the lemon potatoes. My son said the pita chips and breadwere good...
The lemon potatoes were yummy, however, due to the composition of the take out container, the oil leaked through and was a bit of a mess. I will save those for dine in, rather than take out.
I wish there was a easy to modify the bowl, I should not eat cabbage and would have liked to remove that from the bowl.“

“They’ve ruined me for Lebanese food anywhere else lol“

“I have been multiple times, food is great but I am so disappointed that they don’t do belly dancing anymore. I wonder if they could do a small cover charge to help cover costs if that is the reason they don’t have belly dancers anymore.“

“This restaurant was recommended by a good friend who is Lebanese-American. Having lived in Beirut myself for a couple years, I was immediately transported back to the wonderful restaurants around Beirut. I love that everything is served family style - we got the fattoush, cheese rolls, potatoes, and hummus. For mains we both got the shish taouk - of course this came with the yummy fluffy garlic! I also got a glass of Kefraya red wine. I miss Lebanese wines! The staff was helpful and pleasant. The ambience was quiet and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for authentic fine Lebanese dining. Thank you for a delicious experience!“

“Solid, easy, and unique dinner spot to catch up with your friends. Ambiance was great. Decor was great. Vibe was great. Food was great. Drinks were unique, but I wasn’t crazy about any of the ones I had to be honest taste-wise! The steak was amazing. Ceviche was tasty.

We had 5 people and spent 88$ each - we had 1-2 drinks each and apps, sides, and main dishes, which we all shared. Everyone we met there was super friendly, staff involved. You can take great pictures here lol.

Wish we had stayed for the DJ. Music/club area started playing music around 10:30-11pm, but no one out on the dance floor yet and we just decided to call it a night! Parking was easy at 7:30pm, and free on the street. 1 min walk into it. Street parking gets more packed as the night goes on, of course. When I was going back to my car at 11pm it was packed.“

“The octopus, sea scallops and the dish with the kale and butter beans were amazing! Every visit is an adventure for me. I also love the decor and the service“

“What a nice experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed. The owner was incredibly kind, friendly, and positive, and his warm personality made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was fresh, clean, and had that comforting homemade feel that is so hard to find these days. I especially appreciated how welcoming the uncle was, he made everyone feel like family. Good food, great atmosphere ( Morocco was playing and won!), and nice people. I enjoyed my meal and will be coming back again. 🙂“

“Have been a patron for 12 years. The food is consistently great, especially the lentil soup and hot, fresh baked bread. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice casual atmosphere for a quick meal.“

“Best fresh shawarma in the area. The flavor is in the mix of authentic spices and the wide toppings“

“Muncheez catered an event of mine. The food, service, presentation and attention to detail was perfect! MY client from Dubai were very pleased! They where able to set up a pop up shawarma station for 150 guests. Their partnership with Society for the alcohol service is a winning combination. Ali is just GREAT! I will be using them again!“

“We had a wonderful breakfast this morning! The Beirut Breakfast, the Rose Water Latte, and Shaksura were all fabulous and the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious foods, Good atmosphere“

“Hidden lebanese gem in Rockville! Craving Lebanese Food- try this place out and if it's great day, walk around the area- lots of small shops (including a Matcha Cafe next door). The food came out faster than expected and the taste was fresh and flavorful. We got falafel which was not bad - almost like homemade, the kofta was really good..Great grill flavor and the meat shawarma was on point! Fresh, hot bread won us over to come back again! Parking is a bit trickly - street parking and a nearby garage.“

“It's not suprise that Shemali's Cafe is a DC go-to when it comes to Middle Easter Fare. There food is fresh and always on point. Their staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend Shemali's Cafe!“

“We just had my sons’ wedding rehearsal dinner at Villa Yara and it exceeded our and our guests expectations. The venue is superb, the food amazing and the staff amazing. This was one of those dining experiences you ask yourself how have I missed this place? There are not enough words to describe the excellence of Villa Yara. Do not overlook this restaurant for you will miss a great dining experience. Scott G.“
