Basil Mediterranean Fusion Cuisine

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I haven’t found good Arab food in the DMV in a while, but Basil completely exceeded my expectations! Not a single thing I ordered was bad — everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and packed with authentic flavors. The dishes were served quickly and perfectly prepared, which made the experience even better.

What really made my visit stand out was the staff — so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It felt like dining with family. The combination of amazing food and top-notch service makes Basil a must-visit spot if you’re craving authentic Arab cuisine. I can’t wait to come back and try even more!

We’ve been here twice before recently and it was great each time! Unfortunately, today the pita bread was dry/old and the kufta meat was over done and dry. Very disappointing.

Came by at 7pm to grab to go dinner. After paying, immediately heard the microwave being used. Disappointing.

Misleading prices.

A must visit! Amazing food and service.

I ordered the Sujuk flatbread (Fresh dough!) and it was amazing. The owner also gave me some of his personal fresh figs and I love them. I have never had them before. I will be looking for them now and visiting every Mediterranean grocery store I pass until I find them. If you're in Annandale. Try Basil out! I can't wait until I am back in this area to try other menu items. The owner was super friendly and answered all my questions. So glad I stopped.

The food was good authentic lebanese food. Tried the babaganoush, kibbeh, chicken shawarma, gyro, and baklava and all delicious. I would have preferred to have the pita bread heated and no pickle in the gyro and a little more eggplant in the baba... Otherwise, great and also halal. The owner was very friendly and happy to answer all our questions about the different foods.

Simply the best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food I've had in Northern Virginia, without question. Everything was so fresh, so tasty, and prepared to perfection. Owner was very friendly and professional, restaurant very clean and cozy. Will definitely return - night highly recommend the Labmeh Bi Ajin, kibbeh, falafel, and mixed grill platter. Fantastic!

The food is simply amazing I ordered zaatar manoushe and manoushe lahme. They were both freshly baked of the oven. The crust is crispy which is amazing. The flavor of the manoushe lahme was super delicious.

The food was very good. Lamb and chicken was tender, rice and sides were delicious, the service was wondeful and the employees were very polite and they bring your food to the table as well as clean up for you afterwards. Food is delivered to actual plates not Styrofoam and they give you silverware not plastic. I'm giving this place 3 stars because the whole place was filthy. To get to the bathroom you have to walk straight through the kitchen, making it a health hazard for everyone. The bathroom itself was filthy also. I couldn't even turn off the bathroom light from how filthy the light switch was. This place needs a deep cleaning everywhere! Thanks
