Beautiful restaurant . Enjoyed it with kids from 6 to 12. Our waiter was very gracious and kept the kids happy with kabobs , shawarma , bread and salads . Shrimp Arak, Lamb Sharhat with sangria were nice.

Love that they have gluten free indicators on the menu and offer rice crackers . The baba ghanoush , shanklesh and virgin mojito were all fresh and tasty.

Try the "Chef 's Platter" which has a sampling of all their traditional appetizers like homemade hommus , crisp spinach fatayer (puff pastry ), and baba ghanoush served with fresh pita loaves to dip .

Sampler platter is a good pick. But that’s all. Lamb roast has a strong taste of old lamb , shawarma chicken has excessive cardamom . Prices are higher than it’s worth in a chain restaurant .

Everything was really mediocre. I expected waay more. The most memorable part was the taste of olive oil ! It was dreamy! But other than that; food, service, vibe and everything else was ordinary.

Best place for dinner if you have Vegans in the group (or non-vegans)! Delicious food and great atmosphere. The Naan is so good, and they keep it coming! They also have free mouthwash in the bathroom !

Flavorful authentic food. Start with the trio of hummus , kebabs for your main. Don't get married to any beer on the menu though- they were missing a bunch.

Oh my, freshly baked airy pita ! And the 3 sauces, particularly the garlic sauce , is one of the best things I have ever had!

Great food and staff . Just a few minutes walk from the National Zoo and across the street from the Metro. Must try and experience.

It seems the owner of the restaurant is a old man because you can see a very old fashioned decoration. The taste of foods are not perfect. Prices in compare to Mediterranean cuisines are a bit high.

Great place to come with large groups. Just share a bunch of appetizers . But make sure to make reservations beforehand, since it gets busy!

Chain restaurant , but great food. The hummus and chicken shawarma are fantastic (try the combo, amazing!)

Pumpkin fritters , hummus , warm pita , shawarma , warm olives , what's not to like?

Fig Sake with Bourbon About 1/2 Price

Skip this location! Tysons Galleria's service and quality is top of the line compared to Woodley. I had to ask for the zucchini and tomatoes for my lamb kabob ?! Lamb , rice and onions ?! Really???

If u get wine , make sure they fill it up right the first time otherwise, they'll make sure u get another glass and give u more than enuf to get a tip. Smh

Never had Lebanese and now love it! Flavoring isn't overpowering!

Everything about this place is great. Leaving pleasantly relaxed and in a food coma.

One of the best lebanese restaurant here in DC

Feel yourself in Beirut or Zahle here! Especially their falafel .. Precious!!

Great spot for a romantic dinner , I should know I proposed here!

The hummus and lamb kebabs are so good!

Whatever food you get, wash it down with some ayran (salted yogurt drink).

Nice gluten free menu , staff well educated in gluten free food

Nothing shawarma about their shawarma . Just tasteless chicken and beef in a pita bread . Their menu is misleading & their beef and supposedly lamb shawarma is not on a rotisserie stick like they claim.

Humus and artichoke hearts were great

Really like the chicken ; atleast tastes fresh ????????

The roasted garlic hummus is wonderful.

Kabob and hummus platter-good place to start.

You have to try the octopus

Try the appetizer sampler .

Ramon the bartender and the policeman from Brooklyn said it was very good.

Tiny shot glasses of listerine near the bathrooms , very classy

Such good food. Gave me my zaatar , hommos and chicken shawarma meat. My next selection? Makdous, a stuffed eggplant dish . Read more

Chef 's sampler is wonderful.

The spicy humus is extra yummy!

Also, my friend said the lamb meatballs were really good

Oh, and be sure to grab an Almaza--a light Lebanese beer with great flavor.

Always try the kibbeh ! (Fried)

Menu has whole "international coffee " list! =)

For a light but delicious takeout , try the hummus and falafel with the fresh made pita .

Chicken schwarna salad was a bust, meat is dry like cardboard

Pickeled appetizers will shock you... in a good way

Got seated, waited 10 minutes for someone to come over. Everyone was gossiping in the back. We left.

WARNING Pomegranate margarita tasty but seeds really nasty -- drink should be strained.

Try the Salmon

Awesome food horrible service.
