From the address, I expected a hole-in-the-wall but it's was really very nice. Felt like dining rather than merely eating out. 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. read more

We came for dinner on a weekend a bit earlier so the restaurant wasn't too busy for the first part of our meal but certainly filled up. Our server was a highlight. 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. read more

Whoa ! What a lovely surprise in vienna ! Was at my aesthetician across the street (check out Tila Med Spa!), and wanted a quick HH bite. She suggested this place and I was astounded. GLUTEN FREE falafel, dolma, shawarma, French fries !! Everything was fresh - flavorful - authentic and delicious!! Even down to the pickled beets and pickles it came with. You all know I am PICKY about my French fries and boy were these fresh and crispy and creamy. Absolutely nothing tasted oily or saucy. The plants outside are stunning and it has a very European patio vibe. Our server luiz had the bar prepare a wonderful tequila cocktail for me and his helper was also lovely. Will absolutely be back! read more

Went last night for a birthday dinner and our experience blew me away. Our server Dino was top notch. Super attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, even our kids who are usually shy warmed up to him. Explained the Arak and some of the other regional dishes really well. My son had a little toy and when the busser came by to clear the table he even took a couple minutes to engage and ask him what he was building. The food was amazing. The lamb was well seasoned and fell right off the bone, the Chilean Sea bass special was perfectly cooked. The bread was incredible and I almost filled up on it before dinner. Whole place has an awesome vibe and the lights and ambiance are amazing. Will 100% be coming back. read more

Terrific food, very fresh. Pita with the hummus was almost hot. Loved the seasoning on the fries, too. So many great looking items on the menu. I'll definitely be back. read more

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. read more

What an amazing experience! As you walk in, you are greeted by a lovely ambiance that is modern, sophisticated, yet quite warm. After being seated at our table, we had the pleasure of being served by Mousa all night. He was very hospitable and quite attentive to our needs. We tried several items on the menu. Everything tasted so fresh and wonderful. And one item in particular, the Chicken Ouzi (which Mousa recommended) was fantastic! The chicken was ridiculously tender and the rice was incredibly infused with the juices of the chicken in addition to a blend of other spices. Truly an amazing dish. Lastly, toward the end of our meal, we were greeted by the owner to ensure everything was perfect, and it was! We are looking forward to returning! read more

Stylish Lebanese tapas spot with indoor and patio seating. Inside they have bar, table, and booths for seating. I came here on a Friday night with my GF and the place was LOUD! It was hard to hear each other. This being said, the space is very stylish and the service was great. Our server was very friendly and our food was prepared extremely quickly I got a mango martini and my GF and I split a bunch of different appetizers between us. These included the following dishes: hummus, falafel, shrimp, and a potato ball (that I don't know the name of). My drink was great, but I was underwhelmed by all of the other dishes. Big complimentary mints read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 ;) read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ahhhh like others returned to Seray tonight for dinner.... Really it's only been a week... things were just humming there... Time to explore different things... from previous comments to we started with the fried kibbeh and because hubby adores peppers we did the red pepper dip... hubby wasn't sure about the kibbeh but then again spiced ground beef type things of this nature aren't a fav... i on the other hand was going I'm happy either way just these two items... plus the bread... oh wait we ordered a main.... then for our main we had the bronzino which came in a lemony sauce with green beans and potatoes... they did a lovely job removing most of the bones... nicely grilled... I got to devour my favorite part which was the skin... hubby really liked the tart lemon.. everything perfectly paired. Went nicely with the Chardonnay he ordered. dessert was a special for the night... not sure the name but a chocolate sponge cake stuffed with cream and fruits... shaved chocolate... OMG it was good. Hubby and I ate half of everything (except the kibbeh) and brought the rest home... sizes designed to share or for those with a hearty appetite (you decide) Add in great service and it was a amazing dinner!!!! Note: my understanding is they were booked solid for the night.. so while I watched them juggle things to accommodate walkins... I highly recommend you doing an open table reservation! read more

So glad I randomly drove past here! Popped by around 845 on a pretty busy Friday night wanting to try Lebanese. Seray is located on Main St right next to Taco Bamba and has both outdoor seating and indoor seating. The restaurant is super modern with nice decor and seating. Ordered the muhamarra, labne, tabouleh, grape leaves, felafel and kibbeh for starters. The bread is freshly baked in house which is perfect for dipping. Finished with the mixed grill and lamb chops. The appetizers were all amazing and prob the best we've eaten in the DMV. Much better than Raouche, Phoenicia and comparable to Ilili. The mixed grill and lamb chops were amazing and perfectly cooked. The lamb chops were not at all gamey which is generally a concern when ordering them. Will definitely be back!! read more

Had the mixed grill, Seray hummus, fries, and the halloumi (seared cheese). The mixed grill was delicious. Meat was tender and flavorful. The hummus had good taste. I think the added beef to it was a nice touch. Halloumi was a good mixture of savory and sweet with the added fruits to the dish. Service was nice and the place had a good ambiance. Would recommend. read more

First of all, this place is beautiful. The inside is classy and romantic, and the outside is a green haven. Our service was also fantastic--the waiter was sweet and really on top of everything. I had the lavender martini, and then for food we had the lebnah, kibbeh nayeh, Seray's hummus, grilled haloumi, and the liver. The kibbeh nayeh might have been the best-flavored meat of anywhere I have had the dish. I love the addition of meat to the hummus, which made it a bit more special. And the grilled haloumi with watermelon and dates was really unique and flavorful. The pomegranate sauce on the liver took away the normally pungent taste, and the lebnah was my partner's favorite. We can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu, though it will be hard not ordering any of these items again! read more

Horribly unorganized- have now had the unfortunate experience of going here two times when we had groups with reservations and no tables were available. The hostess has no idea how to properly communicate and the entire restaurant just seems like they are rushed and barely hanging on. The food was decent, but nothing you couldn't get at a basic takeout spot. read more

The food was honestly so good. Everything was fresh, tasty, and full of flavor. You can really tell that care is put into every dish. I had such a nice meal and enjoyed every bite. And Sam the bartender made the experience even better. He was very good, gentle, and so warm and welcoming. His energy was joyful and positive, and you can feel that he truly enjoys what he does. His drinks were amazing, perfectly balanced and beautifully made. Sam's kindness and smile really made the whole night special. I would definitely come back again. read more

Got to check out this new lebanese spot in vienna - replaced Chopt! The interior is aesthetic and great ambience. This is a great spot for large parties. They have an extensive menu to choose from so try a little bit of everything! We ordered a glass of their lebanese wine .. thoraya cabernet. We started off with the mhammara, chicken schwarma sliders and the fatteh. Mhammara was good but not the best i've had... it is a bit more gritty but it was still delicious with the warm pita bread. The fatteh had a lot of flavor! I am not the biggest fan of eggplant, but the chick peas and pita crisps made the texture nice. I def recommend this dish to try. The chicken shawarma sliders were ok... it's just shredded chicken inside a pita bread.. it was a bit dry and nothing special. We got the mixed grill to try a variety of meats. The chicken kabob was the best. For dessert, the waiter recommended the bread pudding...but where's the bread part?? Unfortunately, it was a pile of mush and was underwhelming. Our waiter was helpful with choosing some dishes and drinks. I would def come back and try some of their other items. read more

They just opened so i think they are working out some kinks with new staff, pacing, etc. - but the place is beautifully decorated, the owner is friendly and seems excited for their opening week and the future that lays ahead , and the food is very good. Our server was very helpful in making some recommendations since I was not familiar with all the dishes on the menu and there are quite a few I am eager to go back for! I had the beef tartare which came with this delicious whipped garlic - I mean I could chase away a vampire with my breath right now - but it was a great pairing and went well with the hot, fresh pitas it was served with. I also got the chicken tawak, very flavorful and I highly recommend with the rice so you can mix in all the sides with each bit of chicken - just a really good combo! My dining partner had the Grilled Salmon which was nicely spiced and perfectly cooked. We were too full to get dessert though, so that will be for another day All-in-all, we had a very nice meal and look forward to being back! read more

Vienna has seen the arrival of several new restaurants in the last few months, and Seray is definitely a hit. Conveniently located in a shopping plaza on Maple Ave, parking is plentiful. From the outside, one would not guess that you're about to enter a beautifully decorated modern restaurant that is both sleek and comfortable. The ambient noise level is a bit on the loud side making it a lively dining experience if you're okay talking a little louder than usual. The menu offers plenty of options. The hot appetizers is a whole page of interesting dishes, many of which I had never tried before. The chicken liver was the star of the night, with an interesting flavor and dippable with the warm pita bread. Food came out fast. Everything was fresh and tasty. A couple of dishes were heavy on the lemon so be sure to taste before squeezing more on. Everything we tried was very good to excellent. A slight snafu, we ordered lamb medium rare but it came well done. The lamb was tender so we didn't mind or bother to correct. The bread pudding dessert was interesting, not what we know as bread pudding but very good. Service was excellent. From host to server everyone was friendly, polite, and attentive. Price is on the high side. Appetizers are around $9-22, entrees are about $26-45, and dessert around $12. Overall, Seray offered a lovely evening and brought back some excitement to eating out again. We will be back to try more of the appetizers. read more

Had dinner at Seray and it did not disappoint! The place was packed on a Saturday night 8pm. Without a reservation we were quickly seated outside. It was actually cooler and quieter outside! Our server was quick and attentive. Fresh steaming pita pillows and Za'tar dip. We decided on some hot appetizers as our main. We started w baked cheese wc was crustylicious And gooey. I had the beef shawarma wc tasted very ethnic and exotic. Not your typical Gyro meat here! Hubs had the chicken shawarma sliders and he liked those a lot as well. Just the apps had us quite stuffed! I had a wonderful mint lemonade wc was fresh and tangy. Would definitely return to try other menu items and they have lunch specials as well. read more

Date night? At this restaurant, it feels just like that. Having never tried Lebanese food before, I decided to give Seray and try and WOW they did not disappoint. The ambiance inside the restaurant reminds me of the bar scene in the movie Passengers (2016) and the service was immaculate. Our waitress was lovely and super attentive. We ordered the chicken shawarma sliders, calamari, and the mixed grill kabob as our main/appetizers. They were all extremely tasty, but the standout was the sliders with garlic sauce on the side. The calamari was a little salty for our liking but still very fresh and worth the try! Out of all the meats in the mixed kabob grill, our consensus was the steak was the best one (will definitely order that again!). We couldn't leave without trying the dessert where we ordered the chocolate lava cake (really good and standard), and the ashta (wasn't our favorite but definitely try it if you're feeling adventurous!) I will 100% be back to try more of the menu but more importantly come back for the steak kabob and chicken shawarma sliders. read more
