Lebanese Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“Superb food. Superb service. A really fun source for delicious Middle Eastern takeout. The only reason I'm giving them a 3 for atmosphere is because it's a food truck. These dishes could be served in a fancy sit-down restaurant for three or four times the price.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Albi absolutely deserves its Michelin star. The lamb was easily one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and layered with complex, vibrant flavors. Every element on the plate felt thoughtful and beautifully balanced.

The overall dining experience was refined yet warm, with creative dishes and elegant presentation throughout the meal. A standout restaurant and a must-visit for anyone who loves modern, ingredient-driven cuisine.“

“My wife and I stopped by for dinner today. First time here and we were warmly greeted when we went inside. It's cafe style so you order at the register, pay, and they bring your food.

We got a couple appetizers, beef shawarma and falafel ousheh. The quality of the ingredients they used was absolutely fantastic. Everything had so much flavor and was prepared perfectly. This is a great spot with laid back / relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend coming here with some friends or date night. We will definitely come back soon!“

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

“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!“

“An amazing dining experience!“

“MeJana never disappoints. The service, ambiance, cleanliness, and menu options are surpassed only by the quality of the food. Our meals there are always delicious—wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked, whether it's meat or veg. Add to that a location with parking options that is also only about a block from the Court House metro stop. Definitely one of Arlington's best.“

“We sat at the high tables, because we didn't have a reservation, but we received great service. The bar area gets crowded so we were lucky to get a seat and experience their 3 course meal. Every course was delicious and felt like a treat.“

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

“I celebrated my birthday at Vera Cocina and it was a festive moment. From the moment the Belly Dancing show started, the atmosphere filled with energy. The belly dancing show was a full-body vibe and immersive. The performers didn’t just entertain; they invited us into the rhythm. The energy in the room was electric, thanks to performers who captivated every table and made sure no one felt like a spectator.

If I could wish for one more sparkle, it would be magic to see all the performers adorned in elevated costumes to match the brilliance of their presence. Still, the experience was unforgettable, a celebration of movement, flavor, and connection. Highly recommend for anyone looking to turn a meal into a moment.“

“We tried the harira and the fatoush, and both were good. The harira was comforting and well seasoned, and the fatoush was fresh and nicely dressed. The lamb prunes dish was too sweet for my taste. I was expecting it to be more savory and spiced, so it didn’t work for me. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, with some dishes stronger than others.“

“Good food good staff. Will come Again.“

“Delicious foods, Good atmosphere“

“From the vibe, to the service, to the food. Cafe Levantine is a definite visit. I feel that this is a space that encourages creativity and great conversations.

The BEC or what is known as the Beef Egg and Cheddar was marvelous and the bread was a perfect compliment. The Egg Z was amazing, and the Cheese Press was chefs kiss.

Make this a must visit and Im sure you wont be disappointed at all.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The very best meat, spinach and cheese pies (fattayer) and kibbi, so good I had them at my wedding. I'm as Lebanese as they come, I've been eating this all my life, and hers is simply the best. The dough is unlike anything, thin yet with a flavorful body to it, and the meat spice (get the spicy one if available) and spinach filling just have to be tried. The eggplant salad and cabbage rolls are phenomenal too. Nabila is the sweetest person and the market always has great things. The homemade laban (yogurt) is the best yogurt I've ever had, which we eat with the meat and spinach pies. I always get the mejduul dates and namouurra when they're available.“
