Middle Eastern Restaurants near Silver Spring, MD

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“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.“

“Dining at Albi was a special experience. We were lucky enough to book the Hearth table and watched the kitchen interact and prepare the food. The warmth and hospitality of the staff, not just with the diners, but with each other was sincerely heartwarming. Every dish was amazing and there was not a single thing we disliked. My personal favorites were the crab, dates and lamb with cinnamon. This is probably one of my favorite Michelin experiences and Albi deserves all the accolades given to it and more.

Edit to add: they had the best morning after goodie bag of all the Michelin restaurants!“

“An amazing dining experience!“

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

“Great Mediterranean food! The chef is the Master!“

“Delicious food, generous portions and FABULOUS & FRIENDLY service.“

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).“

“Delicious falafel, hearty portions, with lots of options of fixings. Gluten-free option is terrific.“

“I had the chicken kabob plate. In the picture there's white rice on the plate (under the naan bread). The chicken, both types of rice, and the bread were my favorite parts!! It was delicious and very filling. I didn't eat the salad (I don't eat salad, and I didn't know it came with the meal). I also tried the chickpeas, but I didn't finish them. They were ok.“

“Every bite was delicious. three empty plates. great ambience and service. will be back soon!“

“i thought I cooked good basmati rice. The rice I had there today kicked my rices butt!“

“Nice Shawarma Tasty food.“

“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!“

“I tried the kabob platter at Kabul Castle Kabob and it was a great Afghan meal. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, topped with sweet carrots and raisins. The kabobs were tender and nicely grilled, especially the chicken which was juicy and well seasoned. The meal also came with fresh bread, a crispy samosa, chickpeas, sabzi, and a fresh salad, which made the plate feel complete. The portions were generous, the quality was high, and the price was very reasonable for the quantity you get. A very satisfying and authentic Afghan meal.“

“It was such as a wonderful experience; I loved it so much everyone was so kind and welcoming, the food was great, tasty and Full of flavor. The service was 5/5 and very friendly. I'm definitely going there again with my friends!“

“First try of cuisine from Lebanon - nice one!
We went there for dinner on Saturday evening, and find the atmosphere of the place really nice, with very professional service. The server was not checking on us every 5 second, which we particularly appreciated, and they offered us a free dessert at the end.
The food was good - we really liked pita bread with the oil, eggplant dip was a nice mix of flavors and falafel was good as expected.
My husband took a lamb and minced beef dish, served on the rice - it was good but the meat seemed boiled. To be fair, we have no idea though, if this is how this dish should be served.
I took chicken shouk, the meat was really juicy and tasty but not sure if a chicken breast, some rice, 2 mini tomatoes and a bit of garlic yogurt are worth 25$. One star less therefore for the mains.“

“The minute you walk inside, you are immersed in a whole new experience.

The manager and staff are so kind, they truly check in on you and make sure you are taken care of.

The food is fresh and so delicious! The drinks are good as well!

I look forward to coming back (I recommend coming when they open so that you don't have to deal with the brunch rush).“

“Ate there today. Food was excellent. The lamb was very tender and juicy. Portions were big. Had a nice conversation with the manager. I will return soon.“

“Good food. Been around for decades. Only issue is take away is served styrofoam and the rice tastes like styrofoam… why can’t they learn? Old owners hate change.“

“This Is A GoOd Rusturant A GoOd Food Tank YoU SoO MuCh FoR FoOd“

“I am a total hummus snob. You can ask my friends. I only eat hummus from restaurants because they seem to be the only ones that can make it right and with the consistency that is smooth and a little thinner. Every store bought hummus I have tried has been a thick paste and it doesn’t even feel like hummus. Until now. I am a total convert and very excited. Consistency is everything in hummus and Little Sesame has figured out how to do it and put it into a container that is sold at a store. Kudos. I love it.“

“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.���“

“Love it you will as well.“

“Second visit to this location . Quality , value and excellent taste . What more can I say .“

“My son and I dined here July 4th holiday for my birthday. I was quickly impressed by the enthusiasm of the staff. My compliments to staff and cook as well as the owners.“

“the whole thing - the people - the food - all good“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“The gentleman at the counter had wonderful customer service. We paid for our food even brought it to the table, which was very nice. It felt like fine dining, he gave us a bit of conversation and seem like such a pleasant gentlemen. I enjoyed the food. It was amazing. I eat every drop and the baklava ice cream with everything took a friend for the first time. My friend said he enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back again. I recommend this place highly if you love Greek food and gyros.“

“The food here is amazing. I absolutely love the rice and ground beef they have. The service is nothing special, you come to counter and order food and then go get it when they call your order. The atmosphere is fine but the music they play is kinda bad but whatever. It was quiet and easy to talk and the decoration is minimalistic and clean. I love this place and will continue to come.“

“AMAZING experience here at Balqees. I recommend this place for family events and activities. Really is phenomenal, never had an experience like this before“

“Food is very tasty 😋 both indoor and outdoor seating is good.. love the interior and the portion of the food.“

“My favorite place in Takoma Park! Great food and drinks made and served with care.“

“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.“

“My husband and I are from out of town. once we tried Maiwand Grill, we make sure to stop by almost everytime we cone to Baltimore. Everything we have had from here is top quality and delicious.“

“AMAZING FOOD!! Me and my family went there two days ago and everything was just perfect. We had chicken, lamb, and beef kabob and it all just tasted amazing. Make sure you try their food with their special hot sauce and BREAD, you won't regret it. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for that original kabob taste.“

“When you are down in DC please visit great food“

“Excellent food and beyond excellent prices🌟“

“Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.“

“Dude, hidden gem. I've been to this area a few times and only saw the back door. It looked like a dive but I had a hankerin for a gyro. Went in and wow! The wonderful smells of the food hit you right away. The Indian food buffet was awesome, sooooo good. Dude made the naan right in front of me, it was awesome. Next time i'm back I'll definitely be passing by here for Indian food and maybe a gyro!“

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

“Everything here is sooooo delicious. I usually get the veggie platter - I’ve tried all of the sides and my personal favorite is the okra but you really can’t go wrong with any. I don’t even live in DC anymore but whenever I come back I always crave tasty kabob“

“My experience here just makes me want to believe that human beings are kind and the only way we grow is by spreading love and care. The owner and every employee here taught me a big lesson for life - humanity exits and help in whichever way you can! Thank you - loads of blessings coming your way!“

“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! 👍“

“Today was my first day visiting Wonder North Bethesda and the experience did not disappoint! Jayla patiently walked me through the process of ordering on the kiosk and she explained every detail regarding the different food options. She was kind, professional and transparent. I’m looking foto enjoying this new gem in my neighborhood!“
