We made a meal of appetizers and every dish was delicious! The garlic hummus was amazing, and I loved the lebneh too. We brought selections back for our teens and they also loved them. The baklava was made fresh that day and was exquisite. If I am not mistaken, the pastry was house made too!

Lesbanese Taverna is ridiculously delicious and a DC staple. Best restaurant in Pentagon Row hands down.

This place is an absolute favorite. Comfortable decor, friendly staff, and amazing food. The tables in the bar area are great for people watching or grab a larger spot in the dining room to fit your whole group.Been here many, many times and will continue to visit!

Absolutely amazing! We got a chefs platter to share and they were able to accommodate me and make the dish vegan. Also, the waiter was so helpful in figuring out what we should get and gave the best recommendations! I will be back if I am ever back in town!

Love this place, love the fresh tapas style plates, essential things to note: Entrees tend to be not great, go for the chef's sampler and any of the small plates, appetizers, salads, or sandwiches. Service is fine but consistently kind of grim waitstaff. And patio is fabulous, though frequently they don't always serve outside despite gorgeous weather when every other restaurant has patio service. Wish they opened the patio sooner.

I went to fine at Lebanese taverna at 5:15 on March 13th. I work for federal government and used to come here often. The restaurant was not crowded yet the hostess said she could not seat one in dining room. I could sit between 2 other people against the wall - Sherri sit at the bar. Note to Lebanese taverna- single people drop money to eat too. I will not go back!!

Excellent food. Multiple dishes were consistently tasty. Suggest the Chef's platter, artichoke and cauliflower mezza but haven't had anything bad here. Service is fine. Been two times for lunch and it was half full both times.

We should have known this place wasn’t that good when we walked in and was about half empty on a Friday night.I ordered the Chicken Fatteh which was just boiled chicken breast with no seasoning. When I asked if this is correct, the manager told me “I must not have had this before so I wanted know.” I have had it before at other places and never been just boiled chicken with no seasoning. It’s hard to justify paying $24 for boiled chicken and dish lacking any flavor especially with the manager just wanting to argue about it.I will not be returning and recommend going somewhere else with better quality and authenticity.
