Jeff SApril 13, 2013Beautiful 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.
Heather DalbyMay 29, 2013Love 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.
Lisa FinnFebruary 27, 2015Try 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.
Alexandre MunhozJanuary 21, 2023Sampler 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.
Yasaman MahdianAugust 16, 2019Everything 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.
Amanda AAugust 22, 2011Best 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!
Ashley RoseMay 2, 2016Flavorful 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.
GinaMarch 11, 2016Oh my, freshly baked airy pita! And the 3 sauces, particularly the garlic sauce, is one of the best things I have ever had!
Steven KApril 7, 2013Great place to come with large groups. Just share a bunch of appetizers. But make sure to make reservations beforehand, since it gets busy!
Sajad AmiriAugust 21, 2019It 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.- David MorarAugust 29, 2014Chain restaurant, but great food. The hummus and chicken shawarma are fantastic (try the combo, amazing!)
Joe SolerOctober 28, 2013Great food and staff. Just a few minutes walk from the National Zoo and across the street from the Metro. Must try and experience.- Sip With SocialitesDecember 27, 2014Skip 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???
Jeffrey GlueckNovember 8, 2014Pumpkin fritters, hummus, warm pita, shawarma, warm olives, what's not to like?
Daya TennilleMarch 22, 2012If 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
CeCeGDecember 28, 2012Everything about this place is great. Leaving pleasantly relaxed and in a food coma.
Tourah NainamkeNovember 26, 2014Feel yourself in Beirut or Zahle here! Especially their falafel.. Precious!!
Zahi AbdeinAugust 17, 2020Nothing 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.

Really like the chicken; atleast tastes fresh 😆😆
For a light but delicious takeout, try the hummus and falafel with the fresh made pita.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014David Guas, chef of Bayou Bakery, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Cheese pies (Fatayer B'Jibne). Read more
Liz PallattoOctober 19, 2011WARNING Pomegranate margarita tasty but seeds really nasty -- drink should be strained.
Oh, and be sure to grab an Almaza--a light Lebanese beer with great flavor.
Brian PaceJune 5, 2014Got seated, waited 10 minutes for someone to come over. Everyone was gossiping in the back. We left.
