Just not good. Super clover / nutmeg spices - wayyy salty , very disappointed at this place. Concept n menu look good but it's just not good. Spent $50 for Grubhub delivery' and I wish I just made scrambled eggs. Avoid. read more

I ordered the Turkish pide with kafta (ground beef) and it was pretty good. Location is really good with plenty of parking. They also have a bakery right next to it. The menu has an different assortment of items to try if you are new to Turkish/ Mediterranean food. Will definitely come back to try more stuff. read more

The Block - Turkish Kafta Pide - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Their chicken shawarma was dry when I got it. Not good like other places. Their hummus and falafel are just okay. read more

Truly an embarrassment to the Mediterranean cuisine The falafel sandwich was bland and the Falafel Pattie's were either over fried and or old as they were hard and flavorless.... The Hummus was missing flavor and a bit clumpy in texture The Fattoush salad needed more lemon and the sumac was missing!!!!! First and last time unfortunately; with that said I was hesitant to ask my 2 guests their thoughts It should not be so hard to make great food and be consistent in your recipes as this menu is definitely not rocket science read more

The food is amazing, I loved the place. It's a combination of turkish and middle eastern food! I made a catering last week for my daughters birthday a mix of mini pies and shawarma it was super good! I highly recommend this place!! read more

Great food and service. This place has the extra standards due to COVID including not trying to over crowded the place etc. The food is fresh and you can see what they are making. read more

The Block - Foul, sujuk eggs and sujuk pide. - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

They food is nice when everything is in stock which for some reason is a common occurrence. I've had the experience of ordering online, then getting a call saying what I wanted was not available (why couldn't the update it online?). On top of that, they could not cancel my order. The girl told me that I had to call ChowNow to cancel (can take up to 72 hours to get your refund btw). I've had similar situations with other establishments, and they were able to cancel my order directly. I recommend The Block should change their online ordering platform. read more

Ordered food for delivery 40 min before they closed; they closed without delivering or contacting us after they already got the payment. Disappointed! About 15 min after I left my review The Block called and said I would be able to come pick up my food. read more

First time eating from here and whole family loved it. I got the chicken pesto pizza, Baba ghanoush & chicken shawarma. Every item was savory and fresh. Definitely recommend. read more

Great Arabic butcher and counter/deli. Ordered takeout: kafta kebab with rice and fatoush, tabouleh, falafel, and some assorted mezza: hummus, grape leaves and olives. The kebab was awesome, not too salty, great meat quality which you can expect from a butcher, with a nice yogurt sauce on the side, and the fatoush was clean and bright tasting. Falafel was crisp and fresh. For the deli fare, hummus was good, grape leaves were pretty good, olives were excellent and super cheap ($3.99/lb!). This place feels like a hipper version of Gourmet Basket in McLean -- I'll be back again soon, it's around the corner from my house. This is a great addition to Tyson's! read more

Their zaatar manouche tastes like tap water. Was talking about it to a friend and before I could even say anything my friend goes "Yeah their food tastes like straight up dirty tap water." They have a nice selection of foods, and much of it is delicious, but quality wise it's just not there. The soujouk is very low quality. Plus, they are the same foods from next door (sir sandwich) then it's even worse. Because the food quality there has always been the lowest of the low. So disappointing because we could really use a good business like this in the area. Time for another business to step in and make $$$$$$$ off of these middle eastern staples that we all love. read more

i visited the place 3-4 times. Food is tasty, menu options are good, prices are affordable. But....The place is little dirty, service is poor. I wish workers speak english( it took me some time to ask a lady for a lemon and hot water and she ended up bringing me cold water and one piece of lemon on her hand not a plate or at least on Napkin!!!) :( my suggestion to the business owner to give more instruction to the workers on hygienia , changing the gloves frequently (i noticed she was cleaning the counter , took our order and charged and gave a change, and right after it she started doing pide with the same gloves). I still will recommend the food, probably will give it another try. read more

The service is extremely slow even when very few people are there. The meat pies are really not good and not authentic it's almost imitation which looks good but tastes just so bland. I thought it was also a bit overpriced. Plenty of other places in the area which are much cheaper and sell the same type of cuisine. I won't be back! read more

They get 3 stars: 2 stars for sandwiches/platter-We ordered delivery today and none of us liked our food. We ordered shawarmas and falafel sandwiches which were very dry. They used the thin pita bread and toasted it... so sandwich was broken and fell after first bite... very dry from outside and inside ... Fries portion is very little 3 sides boxes did not fill a small plate ... also tasted like it's been sitting out for long We also ordered kabob and rice for our 2 year old... it was too spicy so we each had a bite and no one volunteer to eat it. We ended throwing it and we hate to throw food. In the past we picked up flat breads and manakessh ... they were decent... So 4 stars to manakesh/flatbread and 2 for sandwiches/platter so they get 3.... read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. Thought I'd try the place after driving by a few times, as its walking distance from work. Went an and all 3 tables were full of people eating and waiting for their meals. I tried to order a pizza. They have a wood fire oven and were cooking flatbreads in it. I was told no, they don't do pizza. It is on the menu behind the counter, but no. So I ordered a plain cheese steak and fries and a drink combo. $15.99. Ok I'm here I'll go for it. 20 min later I'm the only person still here and I ask about my food, I'm told 10 min. I asked if it had even been started yet, and was told no, please wait. 20 min later I'm handed a bag with my food and told to grab a drink from the cooler, a 12oz coke. $16 meal with a can of coke. Ripoff. When I got back to work to eat, food was wrong. I didn't even want to go back and argue with them. AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

I love the food, portions are great, but their workers are not very knowledgeable about food and our culture. Keep up the good work and improve it. read more

It was the only place near me which was open after 10 pm. Just wanted to give a try and did not feel sorry, cuz I love the food. Ordered kofta kebab platter and soucuk life. The both were so delicious. Will be back again. read more

When I started to see advertisements for The Block I was so excited and had the highest of expectations especially because the owners who opened it are the same ones that own Tarbouch in Arlington - which has the BEST AUTHENTIC ARABIC FOOD EVER. My first impression of their menu was "OMG" because of the variety offered i could've easily ordered one of everything but I had to practice self-control. Anyways, it didn't disappoint! I tried an array of their homemade "Manaeesh" (thin crust Mediterranean oven baked flat bread) and they were freshly baked and the dough was perfect, not too thin not to thick. The ingredients all complimented one another and left me wanting more...so naturally I took some home and had a midnight snack that was followed by morning breakfast. DELICIOUS! The biggest bonus of all are the shelves on the side of their store stocked with some Mediterranean groceries. So not only did i fill my stomach but i hit two birds with one stone and was saved an extra trip to Alexandria for some home goods. So excited to have something local with great service, fresh food, and pantry essentials. Welcome to the neighborhood or should I say, THE BLOCK read more

Amazing place!! Best food out there!! The prices are very good and the staff is very friendly! I am glad I found this gem in Virginia! A must go! read more

The food tasted pretty good and is reasonably priced . But, I had to wait 30 minutes to get my chicken shawarma sandwich which was blend ... seriously ? I would have given 5 stars otherwise read more

The food was amazing but unfortunately the lady who takes the orders Very rude an unprofessional behavior, please take this in consideration as this could ruining the place reputation. The one star is for the customer services but the food was very good. read more

Tried to support a small local business during the pandemic instead of a chain restaurant. However, if you're craving pizza, don't get too excited. Hopefully the feedback will change their practices. read more

The Block - Raw bread, barely any sauce and cheese, and the appetizer pies arrived frozen. A complete joke. - Mediterranean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The foods are great , but the stuff is not really professional . The lady who takes the order didn't smile whole time we sit there . She was really rude . read more

The food was excellent and the place was cozy! We had ck shawarma, cheese and meat pizzas, and chicken kabob--juicy and tasty. Yum!

Ugh. Unhygienic. Ordered a pizza here during a first time visit and never again. Workers were not wearing masks the entire time, they would take them on and off repeatedly. Then right as my pizza was done, the guy boxing my pizza kept getting the corner of his jacket caught on my pizza as he was trying to reach up and down trying to do something. I was horrified. It's called an apron, people!!! This place just dumps a ton of mozzarella on the pizza and it's too salty. The dough is nothing special. There are much better pizza (hygienic) places the immediate area for sure, like Andy's or Crust. read more

I placed an order online for a work event. When I arrived to pick-up the order is where the trouble started. No one greeted me and when I said I was picking up an order,I was told they didn't have any orders. Then, when I mentioned I placed the order online two days ago, they said they did have the order, however it was for only three items rather than the seven that I ordered. What they had on their receipt was very different from what my email confirmation said. When I asked about the missing Cheese Rolls, I was told they don't make cheese rolls. Then why are they on the menu and why can you order them? I waited while they made other items to make up for what was missing, which I appreciated but took an additional 10 minutes. When I got back to the office, I found that I was still missing items. I guess they forgot to add them to the bag? As for the food, the Dip Sampler was in a non-divided container so all the three dips blended into one. It did not look appealing. On the bright side, the food was quite good. It's not worth the trouble, though, and I won't be back. As a side note, while I was waiting I noticed a chalkboard menu listing different types of meat and price per pound. Two women came in and asked about the meat and were told they don't sell meat. ??? It's a strange way to run a business. read more

Love middle eastern food so had to give this a try!Originally went in to try pizza but unfortunately they said they have not started serving those as of yet. So I opted for a sandwich. Taste was pretty good. Unfortunately was not too happy with the customer service. Expected a bit more especially since its new! read more

Love it. Very fresh, authentic Lebanese food. We tried the pastrami pide and the cheese manaeesh. Please Keep up the good work.

My first time in Virginia, I came with my family to try this place. Ali and Mohamad were really friendly and awesome. We like the manaeesh over there and the good thing they open for late hour. Everything was delicious specialy the cheese and zaatar and cheese. They have also this sampler lebneh with humous and mohammara. I like the place and the food over there a lot. read more

I went there at lunch time yesterday and I ordered Lahim bi Agin and Falafel side. The young lady who served the food used bare hands for placing the food on the serving platter. Before dinner I started feeling my throat sore and little bit of fever, possibly her hands were not sanitized. Was my first and possibly my last. read more

Beyond expectations. I woke up today and badly wanted a Zaater (thyme) pie. I have tried other places before but none of them drew me in so I was hesitant to go and try another place since I have tried so many. I had the Zaater with veggies , the cheese , and the spinach little pies. All were outstanding and the best that I have ever had since I left my home town Palestine 26 years ago . Everyone was working and orders were coming in but the process and service were very pleasant. Again this is my first time and won't be last . I will for sure recommend this place to friends . Whoever is reading this review, count on me you won't be disappointed . read more
