The food was excellent, but delivery missed the mark. We didn't receive utensils or the shawarma chicken on the salad we ordered, which was disappointing given the already high delivery price. That said, everything we did get tasted fantastic. The chicken shawarma samosas were a standout -- crispy, flavorful, and perfect with the dipping sauce. The salad was fresh, and the feta was miles better than anything at my local supermarket. The hummus was creamy and delicious, and they were generous with the pita, which paired perfectly with both the hummus and the falafel. I'd absolutely eat here again because the food is genuinely great, but I'd skip delivery next time since it felt overpriced for what actually arrived. read more

I hate to do this, but I had a very bad experience with the server. The food was excellent as always, and we love this place whenever we are in town; I always make sure to eat the delicious food here. However, our server attempted to scam my credit card, which made for a very unpleasant experience. I have never seen anything like it before, and it left me feeling uncomfortable. From the start, the server seemed pushed to sell additional items, and her attitude was off. We decided to ignore her and enjoy our meals instead. After we finished eating, she came over and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. When I said no thank you, her demeanor changed. Then I requested the bill, and she brought it. We still tried to overlook her poor attitude. I was shocked to find that she had added a 48% tip without informing me. I questioned her about the discrepancy in the bill amounts compared to the previous one. She said she needed to check and would get back to me, but when she returned, she concocted a story claiming she had charged my card for another tap. Which could have happened, but she just brought it without checking. When I asked if she had double-checked before bringing the bill to me, she remained silent and just looked at me. Strangely, the manager never approached us to apologize; he just observed from a distance. Which was very funny, I have never felt like this before. Given the similar reviews I had seen, I didn't believe her story. I will never return to this place, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone in town. There are many other options available. Don't let them scam you. The management should be ashamed for allowing scammers to victimize their customers repeatedly. read more

I just keep going back to Lebanese Taverna, whether in person or ordering online for delivery. I'm Syrian and they have the best pumpkin kibbeh I've ever had!! I could eat it every day. They bring out HOT bread with delicious spiced oil. They have a super reasonably priced, extensive wine list. I suggest the Merwah, an indigenous white varietal. Our food was delicious. read more

I can't believe it's been two whole years since I have been here. I LOVE this place! Three of us stopped in for a Sunday lunch, enjoying tasty cuisine and a great ambiance and service by Omar. The Falafel Appetizer was delicious and definitely enough to share. The Falafel Sandwich and Kafta Sandwich both came in generous pitas, one with fries the other with a side salad. The Shrimp Arak was extremely good. Of course I got Baklava to go so I could enjoy it later, but it was swiftly consumed the minute I got home. YUMMERS! Beautiful restaurant, amazing location by the water and exceptional service. read more

Lebanese Taverna was such a fun experience. I was at a work conference in Baltimore. My co-worker found this place, and asked if me and my other coworker wanted to try Lebanese food. It seemed interesting to try, so I was open to doing it. We actually went on a day where you could pay a set price and order as much as you want of multiple items. This was my first experience doing this style of eating outside of a buffet restaurant. The great thing about it was the food was made to order, so the food was hot and delicious. The special was on Monday I believe and it's called Mezza Madness. The price was $38 per person and the entire party had to eat. My party of 3 got to try some really fantastic items, but my favorite had to the be the humus and pita bread. I'm craving it right now. It was perfect. I would happily come back and try this place again. The food was really delicious. read more

This is a lovely venue. We are always greeted warmly by all of the workers here. We have tried many different dishes, we are planning to work our way through the entire menu. The favorites so far are the rakakat, the watermelon salad, and the sharing platter. The table bread is also perfection. My only knock here is the drinks. I have not loved the cocktails or the wine. If I can find my go-to libation, I will bump this up to five stars. read more

Had the falafel and the chicken shawarma salad. Both were good and were filling. The chicken was good but I expected more seasoning on it. It seemed just to be shredded chicken. The waitress seemed to not understand that I wanted a refill on my mint iced tea (black tea with mint and not tea made from mint). She also seemed to be uncertain of what to do when my friend's shrimp dish smelled off and had to be sent back. She did offer them other food and the manager helped out. Not bad but not as good as I had hoped. read more

Honestly, I had not been to Lebanese taverna probably since 2023! We stumbled here after the movies at 9 PM on a Sunday and were so excited that we could eat late at night. Despite coming to the restaurant so close to closing, the staff was so kind and so excited that we were there to eat. The menu has changed significantly since the last time I came and the pita bread is not as good as it used to be, but it's still very good. The restaurant is really really massive and because they are a Maryland Virginia chain they are able to pay the rent and they are a very well-known brand in this area. A lot of the food items are made offsite at their other main location, but the food still taste pretty fresh. My favorite item here is always going to be the halloumi, but this time I was really surprised that the pistachio ice cream was so good. I am still thinking about it. The chicken wings were not good. I was craving them. The sauce was good, but I think there was something wrong with the meat. Overall top-notch service and if you go late, it's very very quiet I know sometimes during brunch or lunch service it can get very loud. I love the bathrooms here because they have a handwashing station separately so if you just wanna wash your hands, you don't have to wait in line. read more

Recently booked a private dinner for 21 here! Customer service was amazing leading up to the event and day of! We went with the Kaslik Family Style Menu. It included 6 starters, 3 entrees and 2 desserts. There was so much food! All yummy and came out in a timely manor. My faves were the camel wings, hummus, babaganoush, shawarma, mehshi and falafel! Will definitely patronize again and again! read more

Stopped her for lunch in harbor east. Plenty of seating, super friendly staff, and overall a great meal. Started with the hummus trio, really enjoyed the spicy hummus. Our group had a chicken kebab, chicken, Shawarma sandwich, a Shawarma sandwich, and ouzi. Everyone enjoyed their meals and especially the amazing service we received. Would definitely recommend if in the area. read more

Came here with a group of friends during a quick summer trip to Baltimore. It was our first time trying Lebanese food, so we were pretty excited. The experience ended up being a bit of a mixed bag. Some dishes were delicious, but others really missed the mark. The Fatteh Chicken was super dry, and the rice in the Ouzi was also disappointingly dry. For a first-time Lebanese food experience, it left me a little underwhelmed. What really threw us off was the $15 charge for water. We weren't given the option for tap--just sparkling or distilled--and ended up with bottled water that cost way more than expected. Partly on us for not asking, but $15 for water still feels excessive. Overall, not terrible, but definitely not rushing back. read more

Lebanese Taverna - Fatteh Chicken Ouzi - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Lovely reasonably priced dinner, with great service and a nice view of the water. Excellent choice for a date! Be aware, there are menu items listed on the website that are not on the menu and vice versa. On our visit, Friday, May 9th, my friend had their eyes set on lamp chops (from the website), we didn't see them on the menu. Our lovely server told us they sell them but ran out that day. Once our server took our drink orders, she came back with warm, fresh pita bread with olive oil, about 4 pieces. We loved it! For cocktails I went with Phoenician, which was a spin on a cosmo. My friend went with a ginger punch mocktail, both very tasty. For entrees, my date ordered the lamb shank (loved it), didn't care for side grain it came with (I forgot the name). 4 stars. I went with the branzino and shrimp. It came with mixed veggies. 5 stars - seasoned and cooked to perfection). It was a nice portion but I couldn't stop eating so there were no leftovers. We also share a side of tabbouleh - LOVED. I think it's some of the best around. We had no room for dessert or a second cocktail this time around but next time we'll indulge more. read more

Came here for lunch with my husband on a Saturday. Food: Garlic hummus and falafel were great! Loved the fresh hot pita. Labneh dip was plain and not as flavorful. Chicken shawarma sandwich was also not as flavorful, but I liked the fluffy garlic sauce. Lamb skewers were good, but little tough even though we asked for medium rare. Baklava was okay, but nothing special. Service: Great service. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Bread service was hot and constant Ambiance: a little more casual than I expected for this area of Fells Point, but still very nice. No reservation needed for lunch Overall, pretty solid but I think I would only return for happy hour or just to enjoy the appetizers. read more

We got takeout from here and enjoyed it! The food was tasty and the interior of the restaurant was surprisingly nice! read more

I used to dine at an express location of this restaurant in Silver Spring but my favorite menu item was removed from the menu - I love the lamb sharhat with the garlic sauce (it's amazing). It tried the garlic hummus for the first time and it was so tasty! A family member also really enjoyed the branzino so I'd try that on a next visit. read more

I had lunch at Lebanese Taverna with my husband, mother in law, and family friend, this past weekend after having it on my list for a while! We shared a bunch of mezze: garlic hummus, kibbeh, shrimp arak, pumpkin kibbeh, grape leaves, labneh, haloumi, and fatayer trio, plus a Fattoush salad. Everything was good, but my favorites were the labneh, the kibbeh, and the shrimp arak! I also enjoyed a glass of Lebanese Pinot Noir, while my husband enjoyed a pomenade (pomegranate, lemonade, and orange). The service was great as well. The location isn't one we frequent (we're usually only in Harbor East if we have visitors in town and are showing them around the Inner Harbor area) and the restaurant's decor is a little dated perhaps, but food and service wise? Lebanese Taverna is a win. And a meal I'd be happy to repeat when we're next in the area! read more

Got here a little before six on a Monday night and left a little around eight. It was pretty quiet when we got there, but had filled up nicely by the time we left. We just missed happy hour (ended at six, but 100% will be back for it) but we were really there to try the unlimited mezzes Monday night deal. It did not disappoint! The food was all fresh, well prepared, and delicious. This is my first time here, and I will definitely be returning. My biggest take away, besides the quality food, was the portions of their small plate mezzes: they were so much larger than I've seen anywhere else! It was amazing! Over the years, I think I've been conditioned to expect small plates to be REALLY small, and these simply were not. These were appetizers portioned the way appetizers were like, 20 years ago: designed for a table of four to share easily. I really can't tell you how happy I was realizing this!! Made for such a great, fulfilling dining experience. Here's what we had from the unlimited menu: -Za'atar (came with the pita) - great! -Hommus - creamy, dense, surprisingly excellent flavor. I make a lot of hummus myself and I really liked theirs, would recommend. -Moujardara - we ordered this because it sounded interesting and it ended up being one of my favorites! Really generous portion -Grape Leaves - good! -M'saka - good! -Tzatziki - not bad but I might try the labneh next time instead -Shawarma Rolls - really tasty. Loved the crispy herbs and pomegranate seed finish. -Chicken Samosa - good! -Shrimp Arak - shrimp were tasty, the sauce they were in was absolutely fantastic. Be sure to soak it up with some of your pita! -Camel Wings - good! -Tabouleh - good! -Pumpkin bitte - interesting, though I was SO full by the time I got to trying these, ha The pita is fresh, warm, and delicious. It was one of the best parts of the meal. And it just keeps coming! We also ordered a round of drinks, and they were a tasty start. Service was not fast, but we were in no rush, so it was all good. We were a group of three, and I think realistically we should've started out with six dishes total (to share) then paced ourselves with no more than one or two dishes at a time slowly after that... we were practically rolling ourselves out of the restaurant we were so stuffed by the end, haha. (It's the one drawback when you order with much smaller portion expectations!) This is only disappointing because the alla carte dessert menu sounded SOOOO GOOD. I think my strategy next time might be to come for the happy hour, but order dessert first :D Can't wait! read more

Loved the beautiful decor in this place. The intricate and detailed design of the place really caught my eye. I've been wanted to come here for a while and I'm glad that I did. The manager here was phenomenal. He was really kind and accommodating. He treated each guest as if they were old friends of his. I loved it. My hubby and I ordered the " Camel Wings" funny name right ?? No they are not made from camels lol they are really good chicken wings with cilantro and lemon, yum yum. After that we ordered the Maanek Sausages - made out of a blend of lamb and beef with a lemon sauce. The presentation was different, culturally authentic I'm assuming, but nonetheless it was really good. I enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and the food. I would definitely visit again. read more

I went out for lunch on a Saturday and found it to be very charming. What was good? Waitress. Our server, Mira, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and even gave us tidbits of Lebanese history! Service. It was prompt and the food was delicious. Food. Highly recommend the chef's platter to sample several appetizers at the same time. We also did kebabs which were delicious. Ambiance. The place had loads of indoor and outdoor seating. Prices. The prices felt great especially considering the area tends to be a tad expensive. The food was well priced. What was bad? Parking. There are some free 7am-5pm spots closer to Fells if you want to walk, but street parking will cost a couple dollars. read more

The Ouzi is really good - I like the lamb reduction in the rice. HOWEVER, the Ouzi contains almonds which SHOULD be labeled in the menu. The Mouzat and Hommus are delicious and combination kabob was okay. The pita bread was freshly made and very good! Overall, food is amazing but service is okay. I really appreciate how the manager handled a food allergy mishap - we let our server know of a tree nut allergy and asked which menu items contained almonds/pine nuts. Our server failed to mention the Ouzi had almonds and after an allergic reaction, did not take the situation very seriously. Would return again! read more

Delicious! We stopped in for an early Saturday lunch around 12:30. Our server was prompt and efficient. We tried the meat hummus which was DELICIOUS and smooth and fresh, served with fresh-baked house bread. We had the fattoush salad which was also fresh and delicious and a huge and shareable portion. We shared the chicken kabobs with rice and grilled veggies in a light sauce. All was fresh and delicious, really good food quality. Wholesome and delicious foods - I love this type of food for the ingredients and flavor. Highly recommend! read more

We made a reservation to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary and it was stupendous!!!! We had celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary and absolutely loved the experience, ambiance, service, food and the location! Again we enjoyed all that! Our waiter this time was Eddie who was great helping us choose dishes that wouldn't affect our allergies. We ordered Chef's platter with two alternates due to allergies to eggplant. We got toum and another hummus but spicy. We tried their lentil soup which was very hearty with tender potatoe cubes and tangy lemon flavor. Amazing! I added tzatziki from our platter and that elevated the. Flavors even more! Our entre was chicken farrouj which was a well seasoned de-bones half a chicken with roasted potatoes. Though I felt that this chicken could've used a touch of salt, instead I slathered the toum sauce which is a healthier option than adding salt. My husband tried Aldana beer which Eddie recommended and as promised it was smooth. I can't stand beer taste but this was not bad! He also offered to take anniversary pictures and surprised us at the end with a dollop of cardimon ice cream and baklava! Forever in our anniversary memory how Eddie took such great care of us, thanks so much!!! read more

Ambiance 4/5 Very cute spot with plenty of seating for our huge part of 10. Bright lighting with bar lining the front lobby and great décor. The place had 2 big parties while we were there and the place had more than enough space to accommodate all of us including other guest. Food 4/5 The salmon was very tender and well seasoned. Hummus appetizers was shareable and favorable, must order. Service 5/5 Great service and the waiter was the funniest when recommending drinks. Accommodating for all our guest and request. We appreciate his patience. Price: This was an paid meal from our guest and we were grateful for it. I couldn't tell you what the prices were but our total was about $700.00 for 10 people. Overall great restaurant, Lebanese food is a must try if you haven't! read more

I think this was a little overrated. The pita was warm which was nice but it was a little bland and the dipping sauce could've had more flavor. They didn't let us get the salads or sandwiches because they said it's for lunch or takeout only but don't list that anywhere in the menu. The hummus was pretty good but the chicken could've been more flavorful in my opinion. The service was average. The vibe was nice but pretty loud without a lot of people even in the restaurant. read more

I have always wanted to try this place but unfortunately never had a chance to because husband and I waited and waited and waited and waited. For over ten minutes there was no server, no menu, no silverware, no plates, no cups, no water, no bread, no acknowledgment, absolutely nothing. There were three, THREE!, tables around us who were served before us and we had been there before them. Walked out. Will try the location in Tyson's Corner. Btw, forget about dining outside.

I love Middle Eastern food! i joke around with my friends and family and tell them that deep inside I'm really Pakistani lol That's how much I enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine. So when I visited Lebanese Tavern at Harbor East, I anticipated nothing but the best. I didn't catch the owners name but he was great. Very friendly and accommodating. I really didn't know what to order but his suggestions helped alot. The place was really nice. They had plenty of TVs for us to watch the game. They had a full bar and comfortable seating. What more can you ask for? It was super hot outside so I appreciated the pumping air conditioning. Their water was fresh and the fresh baked unleavened bread was warm and toasty. I ordered the Camel Wings, they are are chicken wings, but the presentation was pretty cool. Ive never had wings dipped in fresh lemon juice before, it was pretty good. I also never had the lamb and beef sausage dipped in lemon juice. This was an interesting concept, but it turned out to be pretty good. Looking forward to coming back here for dinner. read more

Lebanese Taverna - Camel Wings - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The Mouzat (slow cooked lamb shank with artichokes, chickpeas, and tomatoes) was delicious! Especially, the meat around the bone was tasty. The slightly sour artichokes and tomatoes go well with the lamb so much. The warm pita was also tasty. The long grain rice with parsely also go well with the main dish. The color of the lentil soup with spinach and potato did not look so appetizing at first sight, but the taste was good. Personally, I prefer to leave the margin of the dish or soup bowl as white except for something like garnish sauce but anyway I like the taste! "Taverna" means "do not eat" in Japanese, so the name of the restaurant sounded interesting to me. The person who served me the dishes was attentive and courteous. I am satisfied with the visit here. read more

One of my favorite go to spots and only just writing a review for it now! It's a spacious restaurant with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The food is A-mazing here and staff are very friendly. I've come here with friends and on my own. This last time I came on my own for dinner and sat at the bar and was given pita bread and water. Their pita bread is always warm and fresh and comes with an herbed olive oil dip - this alone is really good! They added their happy hour menu back (yay!) and I ordered the Lebanese White Pizza and Shawarma Sliders. The pizza had mint toppings on it which I would not have thought would taste good but it was delicious! I'm a big fan of garlic and I love how my chicken shawarma sliders had a thick garlic sauce in them. Both were so good! I also love their Chef's Platter which comes with a pre selection of several of their apps so you can try a little bit of different things which is awesome. I've also had their Lamb and Artichoke Stew, Bronzino & Shrimp, Taverna Platter and Pistachio Baklava and have no complaints on any of them. The restaurant is located in Harbor East which is a touristy and trendy part of the city. It's right next to the water and has so many attractions around. I highly recommend anyone wanting Lebanese/Middle Eastern food to come here! read more
