    Yum! Cute decor and a tropical vibe on the patio with all the plants. Staff was friendly and answered my questions about gluten free items. My hummus with beef was good but the halloumi and watermelon salad was AMAZING! Yum! I can't wait to try a few more things on my next visit!

    Came to Seray once and unsure if I'll be back. We had a reservation, checked in, and seemed like it was madness in there. People had been waiting for a while for their reservation, and suddenly someone asked us how many and sat us. Hope we didn't cut anyone. We sat down, ordered our food, and again seemed like madness in there. The manager was speaking VERY loudly to the staff, telling them what to do, seemed unprofessional right in front of customers. Made me feel uncomfortable and I wanted to get out of there soon. Food was decent but as some who is middle eastern, I don't need to come back in this type of environment to eat my own food. The food was solid, but nothing out of this world. Maybe they were just having a rough night? Asking for a friend.

    Complimentary starters

    Delicious food with friendly service and large dining space, which was full. They additionally provided bread and a variety of healthy starters. Also liked the dessert options. Overall, a very positive experience.

    Falafel sandwich with fries
    Aarti B.

    While the falafel was crispy and the bread was soft, the wrap was a bit dry. I wish the ingredients were spread more evenly so I can take a bit of the falafel along with the toppings. The thyme fries were good. I ordered take-out in-person and took 10-15 min for my order.

    I'll start with the positives- great food, in particular the watermelon with halloumi, pears and dates was delicious. Had 6 appetizers for 2 ppl and we were stuffed. The cocktails were top notch. Water glasses always full. Dining room was nicely decorated and noise levels weren't bad for a full house. The not so good - seated at 6:30, fed and check on the table by 7:04. They were really hustling to turn the tables to the point it was offensive. We were asked about dessert while we were still eating. Dishes were taken while we were still eating from them. Once we announced we weren't having dessert they came after us like vultures even though we were still finishing one of our dishes. This is not an inexpensive place and for a party of two I think it's fair to be able to stay for an hour. I'll give this place another try but if management is reading this, SLOW DOWN. Also, every time the door opens, an arctic blast enters the dining room. I'll try back when it's warmer.

    Seray Vienna is a contemporary Lebanese restaurant serving authentic and flavorful dishes in a sophisticated setting with excellent service. The menu includes hummus, falafel, lamb chops, and fattoush. The interior boasts elegant design elements like hanging light fixtures, decorative accents on glass shelves, a large bar, and a wine display. It offers a wide range of hot and cold appetizers, main courses, and carefully crafted cocktails, making it a well-loved and highly regarded addition to Vienna's dining scene. We tried chicken liver with pomegranate molasses, which had a subtle sweetness and tang; beef hummus, which was fresh and tasty, and served with warm pita breads; perfectly grilled salmon; and beef kebab, which was delicious. We appreciated the simple seasoning that highlighted the excellent flavors in all our ordered dishes.

    Always a 5-star all around visit at Seray. My recommendation is to skip the entrees and order a bunch of appetizers for a full culinary experience. The Halloumi cheese with watermelon, dates, and pears just brightened all of the exquisite flavors. Must have the Chicken Liver! It's sooooooo good! Super fast and courteous service. Ambiance is fitting for a date night or family dining.

    Seray!! If I understand the name correctly, it means the palace or the big house! I really have mixed feelings! Nothing went bad at all! But nothing was that impressive at all that I'm dying to go there again for quickly but I'd still go again! Do you know what I mean? Nice menu, Lebanese food , huge appetizer menu and all sounds delicious and lovely! The ambiance is nice and simple, it's cozy and kinda loud but I love the sound of happy people dining on different tables! The bar looks nice too and it's totally an amazing addition to Vienna! My mixed grill was delicious but I finished quickly and I'm serious when I say I don't know if the portion wasn't big enough or I was super hungry and it was very delicious or a combination of both! lol but you have the photos to decide! I think that there are two routes to go! You can order a lot of the appetizers and share one main dish! Or just get a main dish for each person and one or two appetizers! If you have a birthday the whole staff will sing for you! It's fun! Happened to someone at the table next to me! The staff was very nice and friendly! Everything was nice and clean! Bathrooms were clean too! Try it, vote for the review , message me, or compliment me with any comment or question, and don't forget to ... Pray for me ;)

    8 appetizers, all delicious!
    Sonnet L.

    There were 4 of us and we tried 8 appetizers, a lamb shank entree, 2 bottles of wine and 2 deserts. The bill came about $200 per couple including 20%+ tip. The food was awesome, albeit a bit expensive for the neighborhood. The servers were pleasant but a little rushed due to short staffed. We didn't get our hot bread until we were almost done with our appetizers. The lamb shank was so delicious! The owner Rabi came by at the end of the meal and we drilled him about the secret of the lamb shank. He said it was in the marinade. I hope this new restaurant survives because food is very enjoyable but too pricy for a weekly meal there. We do like to come back for special occasions!

    Chicken sliders
    Liv W.

    We ended up going here for lunch and had a nice time! The atmosphere/vibes are amazing. They had cute Christmas decorations out front and around the interior which was so fun and holiday. I really enjoyed how the restaurant felt cozy and intimate (even for lunch!). We were hungry and wanted some Mediterranean cuisine so we ended up going to Seray. We shared a bunch of plates. The baked mozzarella was pretty tasty, but it didn't come with any pita or bread so... what? Are we supposed to eat it with a spoon as is? I asked our waiters for something and I guess they have complimentary pita. I wish they brought it out with the cheese because by the time we had it, the cheese was not as hot and melty. The chicken sliders were good, nothing too crazy or special. And the steak kebab was delicious! I loved the rice with it too. And I ended up making my own little steak kebab baked cheese pita with all the toppings--my own little sandwich. That was tasty! Again, service was fine! I had to ask twice for Diet Coke, but honestly it wasn't that deep. I'm not pressed about it! Overall, 4/5

    Lamb Shank. Delicious!
    Ha N.

    Service: super attentive servers and staff. Our waitress was prompt and came to check on us a few times. Food: I didn't realize there wasn't a brunch menu. Did order a beef kabob entree and it was good, but a bit overcooked as I ordered medium rare. Only a few cubes were pink. I realized it's hard to get the right temperature when the beef is cubed and not served as a steak. I was surprised to be charged $2 or hot sauce. Usually when I've asked for extra condiments, it's complimentary. My friend got the lamb shank and she loved it. I really wanted to have some dessert but was stuffed with my entree. Went home and took a nice long nap :) Ambience: beautiful decor. It got kind of loud when people arrived around 1 for lunch but that's a good sign that people are loving the food and inviting their friends and family.

    Lamb chops, Mixed kebob, Calamari
    Priscilla T.

    Had an amazing time here! It is a bit dark and loud (warning). Our server was very lively, kind, and funny! We cracked a lot of jokes, and he even gave us complimentary desserts for someone's birthday. My cousin asked for a bartender's choice of cocktail, and the server poured it out from the shaker at our table with a fancy show! It was some kind of delicious mojito. We got complimentary warm pita bread with dip. Very delicious starter. We also got Seray's Hummus (came with more pita), Grilled Calamari, Halloumi, Mixed Grill (chicken taouk, kafta, beef kebab with rice and toum (garlic whip)), Lamp Chops (came with green beans, fingerling potatoes, and toum). All were sooo flavorful and yummy, but my favorites were the calamari, mixed grill, and lamb chop. All the meats were cooked perfectly tender!

    Bronzino
    Suzan H.

    Beautiful and very nicely decorated. Upscale setting with very attentive staff. Prices aren't low but it's ok because quality of food is excellent. 4 miles from home makes trip very convenient. Wish them much success

The ambiance and service deserve a 5* but the food leaves a lot to be desired. I am hoping the chef reconsiders their choices. The food felt like it was made of cheap ingredients picked up on discount aisles, Mexican tortillas used instead of pita bread (needed to order it as none come with the multi-dip sampler). ketchup like item was used as a dressing in the priciest dish on the menu, the ground beef kebab felt like a reheated frozen kabob. Rice on the side showed up soggy and undercooked. This is unlike the experience we have in most Mediterranean /middle-eastern food places in NoVA. I have experienced this twice, so it can't be a coincidence unfortunately. My bad for not remembering the first experience. I cannot imagine how they have a loyal customer base that has had no issue with their food quality (based on the reviews here). It's at a prime location as well to be getting away with this. I wish they got Gordon Ramsey-ed and that more customers left honest reviews. Sorry for my harshness in this review. I did not like being deceived by the looks and reviews.

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.
