Lebanese Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“Gasan the owner has the beer gyros in the area for a quick bite during the day! If you’re in the area for something quick as you’re en route, this is your spot

Located inside the Shell gas station. 10/10 food and service! I eat here everyday now.“

“We Roro’s come to our pool and they were awesome! The food is fantastic and our members really love it. We got a rice platter, tacos and loaded fried and it was all delicious. We can’t wait for their restaurant to open soon!“

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

“Awesome service, food, ambience!“

“Definitely worth a visit — this place is definitely slept on. The menu is not overwhelming and the prices are quite reasonable for the area (~$20-25) per person if you get food and a beverage.

4 stars simply because the underside of my coffee cup cover was covered in dust… otherwise everything else was perfect. I’ll be back again.

The inside is quite sleek and clean with several outdoor tables available.

Highly recommend the spicy chicken flatbread (one of their most popular dishes). Top notch from its taste to its portion.

Note: I love americanos so be prepared to be served a European-style Americano (it’s basically half cup compared to the American Americanos and it’ll taste strong)“

“Albi is exceptional! Such a great evening with amazing food. The only, and very small, issue we had was the volume in the restaurant. We had a hard time hearing the server a few times. Nonetheless the food was fantastic and the wine pairing really topped the evening off.“

“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.“

“THE FOUR OF US ARRIVED AT 11:30, ONLY PEOPLE IN THE PLACE. THE INTERIOR IS LOVELY AND NICE PIANO MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS. OLDER GENTLEMAN WAITED ON US AND WAS PERFECT: WONDERFUL PERSONALITY AND WAS THERE WHEN CALLED BUT DIDN'T LINGER. LEBANESE WINE AND FOOD ARRIVED QUICKLY AND WAS DELICIOUS. PARKING GARAGE IS IN BASEMENT OF ATTACHED BUILDING. WILL DEFINITELY GO AGAIN.“

“Lebanese Taverna saved the day! They created a wonderful menu for my event of 250 people with only a week’s notice after the original caterer canceled. On the day of the event, they were on time and provided delicious food. Amanda, the catering representative I worked with, even took my call after the food had been delivered and offered to be available to answer any questions about allergens or ingredients. LT also provided placards for each dish that included ingredients so folks with dietary restrictions or allergies were able to enjoy the meal without worry. Would highly recommend LT to cater your event - even if you’re not sure what you’d want from their great menu!“

“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!“

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

“Great spot for a casual dinner! Located in the heart of Union Market, Yasmine is a lively, bustling Mediterranean spot serving up delicious wraps, salads, and platters. I came by for a quick bite on Friday evening, and the Market was packed. We managed to snag a seat at the long table next to Yasmine and split their Friday special, the falafel wrap. The wrap was packed with flavor — it was a bit zingy, a bit spicy, and a bit herby. They had a delightful sauce, but the falafel itself had plenty of seasoning on its own as well. The falafel was perfectly fried, with a nice crispy shell, and it went wonderfully with the fresh, crunchy cucumbers, pickles, and cherry tomatoes.

My dining partner also tried their chicken shawarma wrap, which was also fantastic but slightly more lacking in flavor vs. the falafel wrap. It didn’t have the same sauce that the falafel version had, which made it a smidge less exciting and a tad more dry.

All in all, Yasmine is a great addition to my Union Market rotation! It has a great lively energy and solid food; I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions during planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.

Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.“

“Good food good staff. Will come Again.“

“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!!!“

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

“I love going to Fettoosh for my favorite meal, the couscous with lamb shank. It is delicious and copious, and I feel like i am family in the way i am received. This is the best place to celebrate and enjoy a well prepared and authentic meal!!!“

“Really great and tasty food, just like in Lebanon specifically their مناقيش“

“My neighborhood spot. So much culture and delicious mediterranean food. Incredible service and atmosphere I absolutely love everything on the menu. The cocktails are delicious every time - the pistachio martini is an absolute must. Always a vibe with the playlist and service is top notch. Rohat is so kind and hospitable! Can't wait to see what's in store for this spot! I'll be back over and over!“

“Delicious foods, Good atmosphere“

“this place is a mazing. the healing food.the good service. nice people's. I suggest it to go and tray.“

“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!“

“Our family has been shopping here now across generations and their delicious offerings gave me and my children a love of Lebanese food. You can’t go wrong here. It is a great choice for small nibbles for a party of people who like different foods. The cabbage rolls, eggplant salad, lentils with LOTS of caramelized onions and their small savory pastries are our favorites. Don’t leave without the garlic sauce.“

“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!“

“If you want to grab a quick delicious doner sandwich this is the place to go. The service was very good and the food was prepared very well. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and everyone was very hospitable. Will definetly come back again.“

“I decided to have some dessert for breakfast !! I figured I could use the extra boost of sugar since I was gonna be at the gym today and would burn it off. One of my favorite places to eat Muncheez DC also offers crapes !!😳👅 So I went in. The crape had rich milk chocolate on the inside and strawberries, bananas and powdered sugar on the outside. !!! OMG !! 😳 let me tell you !! I thought I was in Amsterdam again, because Amsterdam has Amazing crapes. It was warm and gooey on the inside and firm but soft on the outside. It was just right !! If you ever in Washington DC and want a delicious sweet treat you won’t be disappointed. Good Job Muncheez 👍🏽“
