Lebanese Taverna Market — Restaurant in Arlington

INCREDIBLE FOOD. I've worked in lebanese fine dining in the past and the food here is on a similar level and definitely exceeded my expectations. We ordered the mezze sampler platter and the rice bowl with the chicken shawarma. The baba ghanoush was my favorite of the mezze we got (hummus, baba, tabooleh) and was amazing with pita and the olive oil they provide for guests in the seating area. I think the only way the mezze could be improved would be toppings such as pomegranate and urfa on the baba ghanoush. Regardless, it's still super delicious and you really can't beat it for the price.

The chicken shawarma had such amazing flavor. It was paired with the pickled veggies and toum and all of the flavors were outstanding. The only thing I would complain about was the chicken was a bit dry but honestly the flavors were so good it vastly overshadowed that fact.

I would like to say that the parking lot is small but there were enough spots that I don't think you'll have trouble most of the time, but may struggle during peak times. Please do check out this spot, I would highly recommend it!

P.S. If you're looking for a great vinaigrette recipe, buy the pomegranate molasses and combine it with salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil for an amazing...

The worse place to buy Lebanese breads and others things! I am Lebanese and I thought buying my stuff there will be the best, but unfortunately the first time I bought "manakish" (Homemade dough is topped with za'atar, a spice mixture composed of sesame seeds, oregano, marjoram, and thyme) came with a rotten / moldy! Second time was in Arabic bread and this time the time was in Arabic bread and this time the third time was yesterday the bread with dates inside with 4 units came worst (see the pics)! The four were molded! I went back and. they gave me my money back! The problem is not the money but the quality of their products and some staffs are very rude especially at the cashier! The only good thing I can say is that the manager was / is pics)! The four were molded! I went back and they gave me my money back! The problem is not the money but the quality of their products and some staffs are very rude especially on the cashier! The only good thing I can say is that the manager was / is very professional person and hard worker! I will never go back...

The Lebanese Taverna Market is a fabulous "institution" with our family and the neighborhood. The food is terrific, the environment is pleasant-a few tables with lots of windows. Many of the employees have stayed for decades and always remember us. Our children grew from toddlers to young adults and the menu always provided something for a picky eater to -- EAT!

It's easy to stay within a vegetarian choice at all locations. Gluten free at the restaurant on Washington Blvd. Can't speak for the Market and gluten free needs.

The original location is nearby and serves much of the menu with "fancier" additions. Again, the family are usually around and offer genuine hospitality.

These two restaurants are the best kind of local establishments. Highly...
