Whitney L.

Did a phone order before my lunch at work and had a very positive experience. Service is incredible and they're very on top of your order. I had their Lebneh sandwich which was delicious but pretty light. Not ideal if you're really really hungry. Their matcha was ok. I added simple syrup but I wasn't impressed. The restaurant had limited street parking but it's a cute cafe aesthetic. I do agree with other reviewers, their menu items are pricey.

My family and I enjoyed brunch on their outdoor patio. The servers were friendly and even brought a water bowl out for our dog. W e ordered some drinks including coffee and tea as well as some of their dips. Our food was fresh and delicious, everyone really enjoyed their meal. There's limited patio seating so I can see it getting crowded quickly on a nice weekend. Highly recommend!

Stopped by Cafe Levantine for a quick coffee + pastry break. Tried the iced latte, iced mango matcha, and both almond & butter croissants. The croissants were fresh (the almond one had such a good filling), and the latte was exactly what you want it to be. The mango matcha though... not worth the $9+, it was made with mango juice from a box. Staff was really friendly, the space is cute, and there's plenty of outdoor seating.

Iced vanilla latte

This is the best cafe ever. They have incredibly made drinks and outstanding food. The customer service is beyond amazing. I always recommend everyone to visit this place when they're in town. I live in California but when I'm back in the area to visit family I'm here EVERY DAY. I love this place, you will not regret visiting!

Great latte

Another lovely coffee shop located in McLean, VA. A coffee shop that is Lebanese-inspired, from their sweets, coffee, and savory dishes. The spot is very medium sized - not too small, with plenty of tables if you want to do some work. We got the Mamoul Ushta, which has a crusty base on the outside, and cream in the inside. It was very sweet for me but it was be good for all the sweet tooth people. I would want to come back and try their savory dishes.

Amazing!!!! Beautiful spot! The labneh a sandwich is exactly what I needed on a hot day it was light refreshing and flavorful! I also go the lentil soup, and hummus. The staff was so nice and informative! Can't wait to be back.

Lovely place to have coffee and brunch . Ordered Pistaccinno and Mustakhan wrap. Loved their pistachio cappuccino. I only hoped it would be slightly more hot . Cappuccino was only warm. Their Mutakhan war so came with salad and yogurt .It was good .Overall good experience.

Pistachio coffee

Cute spot in McLean. We were tempted by the pistachio coffee we saw online and wanted to check out the place. Coffee and food is great! Unique flavors and friendly staff. The place gets super busy so recommend you get there early otherwise the items are sold out.

Arayes Wrap and Egg & Za'tar Croissant
William W.

Trying to find a good brunch spot during our short visit/trip and saw it on Yelp/Google; decided to try it and was not disappointed. It is located in the corner of a brick building on the intersection of Elm St and Beverly Rd. Not very easy to spot from the road if not looking for it carefully. Parking is shared with the rest of the stores of the building and was not difficult. The store is right beneath the "Jack Bays Inc" sign. We ordered the Pistaccino and Vanilla Rose Latte. The Rose Latte was superb; sweet but not overwhelming. Also tried the Egg & Za'tar Croissant, Arayes Wrap. Vibrant flavors cooked to the perfect temperature; the wraps were also amazingly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The waiter was extremely attentive and helpful, always checking if we were okay with the orders. The environment is modern and somewhat lively, with both indoor and outdoor seatings. The tables seemed very high-end and have white marble top look, as well as a few mirrors with surrounding light and large glass windows. Welcoming and refreshing ambiance. Because of the delicious food and good service, will definitely return to try other dishes if in the area again. Keep up the good work Cafe Levantine!

Great place for coffee, latte or espresso drinks. The absolute best scones in the DMV! Love the cheddar and blueberry variety myself. The staff is super friendly and the place is such a delight to visit. Love seeing a Levantine focused cafe doing well in the area.

They're still in their soft opening phase so the menu isn't online yet but I've ordered a couple items in the last two visited. 5 stars for service - they're very friendly and eager to provide what you need. They have high chairs in the back btw, so just ask. Drinks have all been good. I've had the matcha - tasty but pricey for a matcha (yes, even for our area). The food is okay. I love Lebanese food - obviously, for those wanting meat, the current menu is scarce in that department. They do have one- a chicken wrap but that comes out after 11am. The outdoor seating is great. They have a really nice set up so you're in the shade and they bring everything to your table (unless you get a regular hot drip). Ask for hot sauce if you want some. Water isn't tap- filtered! The most disappointing was the shakshuka. I've had that everywhere I go for brunch and it was TINY. I think it was $12 or $13? It's one egg and it does come with a set of olive infused bread but it was underwhelming in size and depth. Otherwise I was pretty content with both my visits!

Spanish cardamom latte
Ranjini S.

Such a cool find! This was a brunch location for a date and I absolutely loved it. The ambience is very welcoming and the staff is so friendly. I had a hot Spanish cardamom latte (decaf). I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but it tasted amazing. The egg sandwich with a hint of za'atar paired really well with the house olive bread (recommendation from the staff) and also included tomatoes, arugula and an aioli. Definitely recommend this place for a quick bite and their coffee.

Pretty big inside, order at counter + they bring it to you. Very popular, continuous stream of carryout customers as well. Pleasant helpful staff. Hubbie got a meat& rice plate while I got a Shwarma sandwich, plus a dessert that was recommended by a friendly regular customer. It was all good, pretty reasonable cost. I would return, and like to try more of their food.

Unfortunately, while the platter delivered on quantity, it fell short on flavor. The beef was cooked well-done, leaving it tough and dry. There wasn't an option to select a preferred cooking temperature when ordering, so I'm not sure there's a way around that. The chicken arrived with a beautiful golden exterior that looked promising, yet the meat inside was disappointingly dry. The kufta suffered a similar fate, having been overcooked to the point of being dry and hard. Overall, the meats lacked the tenderness and flavor I was hoping for. The rice, however, was prepared well, and I particularly enjoyed the slivered almonds sprinkled on top. I selected the side salad, which featured fresh, crisp vegetables. The vinaigrette was quite tangy, a little more than I personally prefer. Overall, the portions were generous, and the ingredients in the salad were fresh. Unfortunately, the lack of seasoning and consistently overcooked meats made for a disappointing meal. While this place didn't feed my soul, perhaps it feeds yours?

Turkish restaurant with both fantastic food and service that has been in operation for over 40…read moreyears! Have a really nice outdoor patio and a stylish and slightly upscale interior. I came here with my fiance for dinner on a Friday night. The clientele was on the older side. Our meal started off with complimentary pita. It was not the most fresh, and it little served with a side of butter (which we found somewhat odd) so we were unsure of how the rest of the meal would be, but we were very pleasantly surprised. We got the appetizer sampler platter for 2 and their specialty, the Doner Kabab (which they only sell on certain days of the week). The appetizer sampler platter included a TON of food for the $25 price tag, and we were honestly full after just that, but the Doner Kabab that came out next was so good that we ended up eating all of it as well. Next time we come back we want to try their "desert sampler platter"!

Came back for lunch yesterday with a couple of friends. I had the Musakka a la Turk, one friend…read morehad the Vegetable Musakka and the other had the Turkish Omelet. The Musakka dishes are served with a side of rice pilaf and the Omelete with a side of fries. Bottom line - all three of us found the entrees to be bland. In fairness, I have only had Greek Musakka before, but I expected more seasoning and flavor, and my friend (the vegetarian) noted that they didn't get a hint of Bechamel - only mozzarella. I tend to agree the entree was heavy on the mozzarella and light on other flavors. We agreed that the rice was very good, both in texture and mild flavor. The french fries also were very good. The service here continues to be beyond excellent. Really good service. If I could give 3.5 as a score, I would, because the service was exceptional. But this is the second time I was here and both times found the entree to be bland. Maybe that's how Turkish food is - if so, please let me know, but I doubt it. The restaurant, which is very attractive and comfortable inside, has been around for 45 years and has an average Yelp score of 4.2. So obviously, a lot of people like it. I just call it like I see it.

I was only familiar with three of what we ordered so: Branzino - as good as any I've ever had. And as an option it was served filleted, so we didn't have to cope with the head and tail ; Hummus - better than any I've ever had; Wine - outstanding Cote de Rhone by the glass! A bit expensive but well worth it. As for the rest, I am not familiar with Lebanese food so I don't know what it should taste like but everything was absolutly delicious. The grilled calamari was really good but I prefer the regular fried. The Kibbeh Nayeh was amazing with a garlic whip that was out of this world. The Fatteh was incredible, who knew eggplant could taste so good. Seray will become one of our regular places.

He was hilarious but not invasive and very helpful with recommendations on dishes and portion sizes. Was excited to try the dips but was really underwhelmed by the muhammara - pepper only no nutty taste. The labneh was fine. The bread was also just mediocre. The meats were a highlight - we liked everything on the grilled platter and the lamb shank was cooked well and flavorful. We also tried a special dish of sea bass over risotto - wouldn't order again.
