    Falafel salad with fresh hot bread
    Kristen E.

    This was a nice eatery un the corner of the shopping center to stop in for a quick, cheap, delicious dinner. They have counter service and a variety of seating (booths, high tables, but only the counter in the front window might be able to accommodate a wheelchair). The falafel salad was very filling and came with two hot loaves (I could only eat one, I was so full). Gender-nonspecific restrooms in the back. Free parking in the big lot.

    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

    The food is always good when we go there but on the pricy side. Once your food is ready, someone will bring it to you, which is nice.

    Love this place you will not go wrong!

    Very happy with it all ! Try the coffee I have been looking for a place to get my Lebanese coffee so yummy

    Salmon platter: w/rice & Hummus
    Kevin D.

    Tasty Meal via Delivery! I ordered via Uber Eats Today. The "Taverna Platter" my selection (salmon, Lebanese rice, hummus & salad). Delicious fresh tasting ingredients. See Photo. My order arrived timely & well packaged. Supporting local business during Covid-19.

    a salad, pita bread, and a drink on a table

    First time in, we always pass it on our way to a Torta or a chopt. We were greeted by a nice man, he explained the menu and we ordered..we tried a bit of everything and it was very good. Even the lentil soup was very tasty and I hate lentils! Nothing was overly salty and everything tasted fresh, they have a bar with condiments to spice up your plate. My only warning is that the chili condiments were SPICY so go light and the white paste that looks like mayonnaise...try it is garlicky and goes very well with the huge pieces of pita bread! Just don't over do it...you will loose friends

    Each of the bowls were delicious, but my favorite is the Shawarma Bowl since the meat is tender and juicy! Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a quick bite of Lebanese food!

    I was walking around DTSS and needed something to hold me over until my next appointment. I thought to myself what's the thing I love the most when I'm in the Middle East. The answer was undoubtedly hummus and pita bread. This was good for a drop in experience and the staff was overly pleasant. That's a good thing. They were preparing platters for a few catering events, but they took the time to get my food out immediately. My favorite part was the hot bread. It reminded me of being in Israel. I look forward for coming back for more middle eastern food.

    Chicken something
    Yofriend H.

    I have no idea what this was called is chicken , hummus and salad , i never had lebanese food before to compare with but i must say im disappointed :( The chicken was very dry so dry it was hard to swallow, the rice was okay but not spiced like the menu said it's actually no flavor at all, i guess and the salad was okay and the hummus tasted good so like i said i am not very happy with that chicken. Perhaps chicken is not their best thing in the menu I don't know but this will be the last time i will eat here.

The food was truly outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The ingredients tasted authentic and vibrant, and the presentation was beautiful without feeling overdone. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. If you enjoy Lebanese cuisine, this place absolutely delivers. The service was just as impressive. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food and the restaurant. They were happy to make recommendations and made the entire experience feel personal rather than rushed. What stood out most was how everything came together, great food, great service, and a welcoming environment. It's the kind of restaurant where you leave already thinking about when you can come back. If you're looking for authentic Lebanese food with incredible flavor and hospitality, Bacchus of Lebanon is definitely worth the visit. I will absolutely be returning!

The only positive thing I really have to say about this place is that the atmosphere was nice and the furniture was pretty. Also, haha, they were playing latin music. Uhmmm its a lebanese restaurant whats up with that?

    Dining with my friend on Lebanese cuisine was a delightful culinary adventure filled with surprises…read moreand delights. Moussaka: A classic Lebanese dish. Eggplant and hummus were simmered until soft and flavorful, with a subtle smoky aroma. The addition of mint leaves enhanced the flavor. Bone Marrow: Beef tartare with bone marrow and pomegranate seeds--how interesting! The first two provided a rich, fatty texture and intense aroma, while the latter burst in your mouth occasionally, juicy, tangy, and refreshing. Brussels Sprouts: Brussels sprouts with grapes, walnuts, fig jam, and mint yogurt--a whimsical yet magical combination... The Brussels sprouts offered a fresh, vegetal aroma and a slightly roasted aroma; the walnuts provided a nutty richness and crunch; the fruit provided a fresh sweet and sour taste and plenty of juice; and the yogurt acted as a binder between the flavors while adding a touch of minty coolness. Duck Shawarma: My friend and I thought: ...Peking duck? The skin was soft, the meat tender, not gamey, with a subtle smoky flavor; the fig and lemon sauce was sweet and refreshing; the small pita pillows held the meat securely, better than the lettuce what might have been too cold. Lamb Stuffed Grape Leaves: Black rice was wrapped in grape leaves and simmered with minced lamb. The rice absorbed the fragrance of the grape leaves, similar to lotus leaves (my friend and I thought: lamb version of sticky rice chicken糯米雞...?). The lamb, however, was served separately at the bottom of the pot and didn't absorb much flavor; overall, it was intensely sour. In short, this dish was a bit oddly designed, and it was the only one we didn't finish because the sourness was unbearable. Pita Bread: The bread was thin yet chewy, with a rough, slightly powdery surface, making it substantial and satisfying. I especially loved the "everything wrapped in a big pancake" style! This restaurant is located on the wharf near the Potomac River and boasts beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows. The spring sunlight streamed in softly.

Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome without being too over the top. The food was good across the board. We ordered a mix of dishes to share and really liked the kibbeh, meatballs, and whole fish. The portions were solid, the presentation was beautiful, and everything came out fresh. The restaurant itself is also really pretty and has a nice atmosphere for a lunch date or catching up with friends. Not quite a perfect experience for me personally, but definitely a strong 4 stars and I'd go back again.
