Beirut Butcher - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Decent store with decent selection. They don't display prices which is a big red line. Won't shop there until I know how much I'll be paying. Very friendly people. read more

My family has been going to the Beirut Butcher for many years. They always provide us with the best food, party dinner trays, and tender meat. We always get compliments on their dinner trays and we continue to order them for our gatherings and holidays. They even cooked a fabulous turkey for Thanksgiving for us too. We wouldn't go to anyone else but the Beirut Butcher for Middle Eastern groceries and meals. read more

Our family was blown away by the flavors and presentation of our family's lamb over rice platter. Ahmed always takes such great care of his customers and has an incredible commitment to quality. read more

I asked Beirut Butcher to cater my daughter's graduation event. They went above and beyond. The whole team is extremely professional and more importantly they are ready to help in any way throughout the event. The food was incredible and the portions were very generous. I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future. read more

Great food with good portions and fantastic customer service. Recommend take away but co complaint about the ambiance read more

You can get many different cuts of meat. I prefer the lamb. Some selection of other middle eastern foods.

This is a small place in the heart of Vienna, right next to Amphora's. The owner, a man in his 40's named Ahmad, serves authentic Lebanese food. By the way, the old name was Old name was "Ya Hala," like around four years ago. And the place really is authentic. You'll hear people speaking Arabic in the small cafe and in the attached butcher/grocery store next door (same owner). They play MBC, a middle eastern channel. And, of course, the food is very, very good. We came with a young Lebanese lady who ordered for us. This is what they bring out: Appetizers- hummus, baba ghanouj with bread; tabbouleh salad. Excellent presentation to all- see the pictures. Next- cheese pies and ground beef pies. Medium-size squares that are warm. Great to also dip into said hummus and baba ghanouj. Main course- a golden-colored rice topped with pine nuts and golden raisins. Yummy take on rice! A big platter of mixed kabobs on bread. There's chicken, beef, and lamb, with grilled veggies accompanying. We skipped dessert, although he has ~10 seemingly authentic cultural options. (There's also the Amphora bakery next door, so...) Finally, they brought us a refreshing black tea that had an infusion of mint. Not too light, and not bitter. Nice blend, I have to say. If you're in Vienna, you've got to try this place. Ask for Ahmad, and ask him for the authentic Lebanese experience. It'll be $100 (the total for our feast), and...it'll be the most satisfying Benjamin you've spent in a good while. read more

See all

Do you want authentic Lebanese food? This is the place! Tabouli is a perfection of balanced favors and exact preparation. Babaghanouj that will spoil you for anyone else's. They take true pride in their product here and it really shows. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening for dinner. Small place, and doesn't have a great ambiance. However the food was delicious. I had the Chicken Tawook, and the meat was flavorful, and freshly cooked. My hubby got the Lamb platter which he said was good, but he thought the chicken was better. Also had the mezze platter that came with hummus (delicious), falafel (crispy and flavorful), baba ghanoush (ok), taboule (too lemony), and grape leaves (just ok). Overall the mezze platter was a hit and miss. Overall I will definitely be back, however I did think it was quite pricey. read more

Beirut Butcher and Grocery is an excellent and reliable family business. The food is authentic, tasty and of high quality. They are welcoming and hospitable going above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I have used their catering services for various family functions and i have been very satisfied with their food and service. I also shop at their store for meat and other grocery items that is always fresh and of great quality. I highly recommend them. read more

While in Virginia, I was looking for Lebanese grocery to get some staples like those that are easily accessible in the Detroit-area. I found this gem close to home. So far the meat and spinach pies make me think of home! I will make this my go-to place for Lebanese food while in the area. read more

Beirut Cafe used to be a solid restaurant, but the new owner is dishonest and the food quality has gone down considerably. We have ordered from Beirut multiple times in 2019 and 2020, only to be disappointed with last-minute cancellations, reduced meal sizes, and kofta meshwi/mixed grills that are generally sub-par compared to the standard of other Mediterranean restaurants in Vienna, VA. I suggest to look elsewhere, like Rose Kabob nearby or Charcoal in Reston. read more

Best middle eastern meat and food you can ever try , very good cleaning store and good value you should try The Turkish kafta that they make with hummus and baba ghanoj on the side . Great prices and they have a special service for catering and events . I recommend visiting the store , and go try their food as soon as possible. read more

We took a chance and ordered based on Zulfa's sweet personality! We were amazed at the quantity and quality of the food. The presentation was wow and taste superb! read more

I see all these trendy high-end butchers popping up and charging crazy price, and I find myself so thankful for the reasonable prices, quality meats and great service at Beruit Butcher. The meats are sourced from their farm in Williamsburg, not just halal from Restaurant Depot. Their marinated chicken is awesome for kababs, and you can order kefta and they'll mix it and shape it (if you ask) to order. Those are both staples for any cookout we host. Pick up some bread and a container of lebne, and you're good to go! You can even order spices from them and its much better priced than grocery stores. We just tried the café for the first time since it switched from being Ya Hala. I asked the owner whats best at the café and he advised me that he'd just made a fresh batch of meat shwarma. It was great! A bit salty, but that only made the Ayran (yoghurt drink) that much better. read more

I think this is the same place as the Beirut Cafe. It was terrible. Not at all worth the $10 delivery fee.

Not a bad place to try. The food takes a long time to come out but it's made to order and is fresh. It's well-seasoned and fairly priced, though not the cheapest. Overall it was a good experience and I wouldn't mind going back. Also, be aware that the menu that's listed on yelp is actuallh outdated. They have slightly raised their prices and changed the menu items. read more

Beirut Butcher - The lamb gyro - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

It is my favorite butcher Fresh meat and very good quality and price compared with others Very nice customer service Whatever you will ask about they can order it for you if it is not available Very helpful and had variety of kind of very very yummy food Eastern and American food Loveeeeeee it read more

Food in the cafe is great (used to be ya hala), but serves awesome takes on Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine. I highly recommend the kafta meshwi sandwich for a light meal, and the Katayef with cheese and honey is a must for dessert! That being said, the best part of this place is not the cafe, nor the grocery, but the butcher! This halal butcher always has great quality, low priced cuts of meat. I love that they don't waste anything, and I can find the less popular cuts of meat, like ox tail and offal etc here. They've done a lot of renovating in the last year and now boast an led tv with their cuts and prices, and a direct walk-through from the butcher/grocery shop into the cafe. If you enjoy quality meat and a boutique local atmosphere, The Beirut Cafe and Butchery is the way to go! read more

My family has been going to this butcher for over 20 years. Really friendly people with good quality halal meats.

Amazing butcher shop and middle eastern market. Prepared the best lamb shoulder for us and lamb and beef sausages that we eat with shakshuka. We travel 10 miles from our home to our new family butcher. read more

The food is very delicious especially the grilled kebbah and fried kebbah Amazing sheesh taco ok sandwich and shawerma Ver very late service the order take about 40 min while they said 20 allot of mistakes in the order and missing staff and other wrong once I will not come again becase of the very bad service read more

Exceptional! a class act and chic among many butchers in the vicinity of Virginia, MD, and DC. Yep the meat is so delicious. The goat meat is such a treat, it is like cream and it melts in your mouth. Rarely, I make curry dishes and it is always picture perfect, the exotic aromas of my melody of spices is further enhanced by his exceptional goat meat. the quality is consistent, fresh, organic and fairly priced as compared to the other players in the industry , who are known to easily pull wool over your eyes. You are always greeted with a smile, yes a small shop does get crowded, but a little stretch helps digestion and creates a healthy appetite. In addition you can see the traffic, the kind of patronage this business attracts and you also get to know other products that are sometime concealed among extensive selection of merchandise. New discovery is always exciting and adventurous;)!! Beirut Butcher is typical of a Italian alimentary store which is a neighborly concept; it has all your needs and more but regulars bare the tightness and enjoy the warm family experience and select the food of their choice and waiting in line is a norm all over the world. Small stores, is a universal standard and I love it. I am always like a greedy child always watching what people buy to further enhance my cooking experiences. Arabic pita bread is fantastic & fresh, and the Feta, Halloumi...variety of cheeses are fairly priced. Ahmed serves all markets and all holidays. In the Holy month of Ramadan, his store has exotic , traditional delicious offerings, during Easter he displays the Easter Lamb traditions & of course Christmas and New year's there are always exciting products for this customer friendly, small family owned gift not to just the Vienna community & families but to families across DC, VA, MD... May this gem make major strides and grow exponentially by leap & bound, as they are indeed very passionate about serving everyone individually on their specific needs, taste and budget. Minor short comings are a norm of a busy popular place but when Ahmed, or his beautiful wife or the young prince utter their kind welcome words with a smile, one just melts in the kindness of their love. Of course Ahmed is very open minded and will listen to constructive advise in a respectable manner. He is in the business of customers who are the backbone of his business and positive open feedback is a valuable asset for a business owner to further enhance and serve his client base and community better. Thank you very much indeed, Cheers, Shama read more

Let's be honest, you can buy Halal meat in almost any neighborhood in Northern Virginia. It's nolonger hard to come by. But what still is hard to come by is outstanding customer service, from kind, friendly people who are the OWNERS! The best, freshest cuts of lamb and other meat may cost a little bit more, bYou cut that's what you pay for QUALITY! Make sure to chat up the butcher and ask how he would season things, he has a wealth of knowledge and is super friendly. He will even tell you "no" if necessary, which has prevented me from ruining for then my fair share of lovely cuts of meat. read more

Very fresh halal meat. I stopped going to Fair Price market and started coming here because the quality of the meat was so much better. It's slightly more expensive but worth it for the better quality in my opinion. I do agree that other items like frozen vegetables are cheaper elsewhere. But still highly recommend. read more

Somehow my 1.96 pounds of ground lamb only weighed 1.15 pounds when I got home, really? I guess if you do this to every customer it is worth the few dollars, until you run out of customers. Café is lovely. Stay away from the butcher! read more

The food was poor at best! I ordered the Kibbe, Humus, Grill chicken, Sambosa and the beef kabob. It took nearly two hours for delivery. The food had not taste. It was disappointing. There is no much that I can say about this awful meal. I am not returning or giving any additional patronage. read more

A superb gem of authentic middle eastern food for those looking around town for some. Great service and reasonable prices. Will make any catered event superb with delicious food. read more

They charged me $ 5.99/LB for lamb fat. We can get boneless Halal New Zealand Lamb at Sam's for $ 5.89/LB. Last time I bought lamb fat was at Amity and it was it was $.79/LB. Highway robbery. Never will go back. I was going to by some Lahmacun but the freezer was so full that everything in the freezer was thawed. How does the health department allow this place to operate like that. Disgraceful period!!! read more

We order from Cafe Beirut on a weekly basis for our corporate lunches and the food is always fresh and delicious. Ahmad (who I think is the owner) has the best customer service, always goes the extra mile to make sure we are more than satisfied. I definitely recommend Cafe Beirut for all your catered events. read more

I always order my thanksgiving turkey from here. The man I spoke to was very nice and flexible and I was able to order a 27lb fresh turkey. It was $1.99/lb. It is very hard to come across such a large halal bird with that price. This is the 2nd time I've gotten my turkey from Beirut cafe and I would definitely recommend it. This is my go- to place to order my turkey. Everyone who works there are very friendly and helpful. read more

As always the catering I order from there was so delicious the meat was very tender and the rice with nuts was way beyond good the fattoush was incredible, I'm glad to be customer since 20 years ago way read more
