I usually donât give large franchise type establishments a great rating but Lebanese Taverna takes things seriously with regard to food and service. They must have dozens of wait staff working as any given time. We had a large group for dinner party and things went smooth. No one had problems and they food tasted authentic and tasteful! Especially likes their spinach wraps pastry - usually that pastry is dry and full of think uncooked leaves that are too bland. Not theirs - fully cooked spinach and dough. The meats were excellent - and veggies and salads fresh!One excellent touch to their hummus was the roasted garlic on top of the hummus plates. Nice...fluffy bread too!They allowed us to bring our own custom cake and desserts too! Enjoy - It is located on the lower first floor of the Galleria Mall, near Hugo Boss entrance. If you valet your car you will have walk Downstairs To get the Lebanese Taverna. No elevators close by but in middle of mall there is an elevator...

Party of four went for dinner at 7 PM on a Wednesday night. I had falafel and the small plate salads. The falafel was good, the salads unexceptional. Worst part was the service. All four of us were entitled to "unlimited" salads. A nice concept if the server actually brought us salads. First serving was a series of very small plates for all four of us. Not enough in a dish for all of us to get a taste. Politely asked server for more salads. Nothing happens. Politely ask another passing server for more salad. Nothing happens. Got the attention of an individual who appeared to be in a supervisory position. He smiles, waves and nothing happens. Ask another passing server for additional salad. Guess what, nothing happens. Seems to me that if one of highly touted restaurant features is "unlimited" salads the restaurant should actually be prepared to fulfill the promise.

We tried almost everythingâvery tasty without exception. Lamb, beef and chicken kabobs plus kubideh, salads and rice. Nice portions and get to choose salad, rice or combo of both. Reasonable price for Potomac. Can be very busy with lots of take out orders in early evening. We waited about 20 minutes for eating in. Simple tables, plastic ware.

Yekta Kabobi is a unique family owned and operated authentic Persian restaurant. We were the first middle eastern grocery store and restaurant in the DC metropolitan area, and have been around since 1979. We specialize in the making of all types of kabobs

The four of us went to Yekta for dinner ahead of a concert at the Strathmore about 15 minutes down the road. First, it was quiet. Second, the menu had several unusual items which made it tough to choose. Hire, and most important for me, the hummous and he Zeytoon Parvardeh (green olives and walnuts marinated with pomegranate molasses, herbs and garlic) that came with our Mezze plate were spectacular. All the flavors for both starters and main meals were intense and wonderful, but I could only so much before my taste buds were worn out. The desserts, which we had no time or room for, looked unusually interesting. Next time, we'll act as though this place is a Persian tapas restaurant and make a meal of the starter spreads.

We were coming back from a matinee at the Kennedy Center and agree to meet our friends at 5:30. We arrived at this early hour and the restaurant was basically empty. We intended to enjoy a drink and then order dinner. Even after we told our waiter that we didn't want to order until we finished our drinks, he came back four times asking if we would like to order.My wife's food good, mine less so. My wife had the veal steak which was excellent. I ordered one of the Kofti dishes... I like spicy middle east kofti. The meat was supposed to be served over a bed of aubergine, peppers and Nan. The meat was very good, but the vegetables were a cooked down gruel of tastelessness. The Nan was cut up into small pieces into the gruel that were hard as a rock. I have been to Turkey multiple times and never had a dish served this way. We each had one drink and a glass of wine.For more than $100 plus tip, there are better restaurants in the area.
