    Located close to Baltimore habor with nice, calm and beautiful atmosphere. The food and drinks were 8/10 but the service was mediocre. Not sure if the color of our skin has anything to do with them seating/serving the customers that arrived AFTER us instead of us. Then it took the waitress a while to hand us the menu and a glass of water.

    Tasty Lebanese food in a great waterfront location in the Inner Harbor with friendly and attentive staff. Came for lunch. Ordered the spicy hummus and pita and the falafel sandwich, all of which was tasty and filling. Our waiter was great, very personable. Enjoyed our time here.

    This is a delicious restaurant with some great food! Our nearby hotel staff highly recommended it for lunch so we wandered over after a bit of light shopping and were seated for an early lunch at around 12:30 on a Saturday. We tried the hummus with meat appetizer served with house-made warm pita bread. Delicious. Very smooth and fresh. We also had the fattoush salad - fresh and wonderful as always...lightly dressed. We split the chicken kabobs with rice and some grilled veggies and they were equally as fresh, delicious and high quality. This was a great meal. Highly recommend.

    Before I made this post, I had to take time to read as many reviews as possible. My conclusions correspond with my experience. Not everyone can relate to what I will say but if you can, then you will truly understand. I walked in and was first completely ignored then met with cold stares even though I had ordered my food ahead for take out. The lady without saying much told me my bill as soon as my receipt was printed out she just dropped a pen on it and walked away. I was infuriated. So tempted to take both copies and just walk away. But no, that will play into their stereotype of who I am. If you think I may be mistaken, filter out all the one stars and see what people get treated like this the most. Unless you walk in there smelling very white and or rich, they don't want you.

    We went for a birthday lunch. Thr ambiance and decor have a lovely minimalist Lebanese vibe. It was not very busy. Start with beverages including the pomegranate lemonade and the regular lemonade which were both very good. The appetizers including the hummud trio was a nice mix. The bread, however with thick and hard. The grape leaves did not have much zest. For main, we shares the lamb kabob and shawarma. The lamb was okay, not very well done. Overall, it was an okay experience.

    Most refreshing adult beverage I've ever had. Freshest, sweetest watermelon made for a great afternoon snack. Ate here twice during our stay in Baltimore. Will definitely recommend and return.

    I LOVE IT! I would come here every day if I were in the neighborhood, so just watch out if I move here. The food is so delicious and the waitress we had was incredible, she was so polite and it made me want to try everything on the menu. We ended up getting a sampler platter so that we could get a little taste of everything, and it was like she read our minds when we were thinking about needing more bread. I got a lemonade that was made in-house and it was addicting. I also took home bread and we were literally so thankful for it, we made more hummus and had it for dinner because it was so delicious. It had a nice view of the harbor and it was in a very nice street! I am definitely going to come here again!

    The food and drinks were excellent. Beautiful and sizable restaurant. Courteous service. I got the lamb and rice meal (forgot the name) and it was delicious! If you want to add a little kick ask for their custom made hot sauce side, it totally elevated the flavor of the meal!

    I ordered food while we were at the hotel, and it arrived quickly, but it arrived very cold, although it was originally served hot, like shawarma and kibbeh, as well as grape leaves. It offered four grains only for ten dollars. I did not expect this restaurant to be like that

    I recently dined at the Lebanese Tavern Restaurant and had a delightful experience. The Lamb Kabab was succulent, the mixed Kabab offered a fantastic variety, and the knefa was a sweet ending that left me craving more. The flavors were authentic, service was prompt, making it a four-star culinary adventure worth savoring.

    Happy hour was decent although the only draft beer available is blue moon. They have vegan and vegetarian options as starters/appetisers but none as entrées. Service was good and the decor is nice. It would be great if they would start the vegan kebab

    First time dining at Lebanese Taverna. The food here is authentic and delicious! The fresh hot pita breads are so good !!! We ordered the Hummus trio and the Taverna platter. Loved the ambiance and food. The service was a bit slow though. The restaurant is located in a beautiful Baltimore area located near the harbor. I would definitely return when I’m in the area.

    1st time here...was amazing. Great staff, atmosphere and cost. Kids even tried a d loved things that surprised us adults.

    Food was great. The only thing I would say is that we had a large party of 12 because we were in town for a conference. We made reservations. We only found out once we got there that they would only split the bill six ways. All of us were from different institutions. It would have been nice for them to be more transparent about their policy when the reservation was made.

    The food at Lebanese Taverna was reasonably priced and very delicious. Our food was delivered promptly and our waiter was kind and helpful. I strongly recommend the lamb and artichoke stew as it was by far my favorite dish at the restaurant. The lamb was tender and the artichokes were full of flavor.

    Hummus trio was perfect. Kebobs especially the shrimp Kebobs were delicious. Loved the ambiance and food. Located in a beautiful Baltimore area. Parking is difficult.

    Hello, the place is very nice, the location is nicer, and the people are nice. We ordered appetizers, which were very tasty, and we ordered mixed grills, but we did not like it. We ordered meat chops, they were kind of delicious, but they had the current sauce, which was the most delicious thing for appetizers

  • 4/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, with authentic Lebanese dishes. The starter bread was hot out of the oven. Service was good and pricing is fair for the good quality.

  • 5/5 Ian J. 2 years ago on Google
    A restaurant that is perfect for its price range. They serve wonderfully spicy food that you just want to inhale. If you want to taste what hummus ought to be, come here. This place is great for vegans because of everything they do with chickpeas and grape leaves and eggplant and rice. Meat eaters can enjoy chicken, beef, lamb, and whole fish.

    Visited here with a group of friends for a brunch/lunch on Easter Sunday. If you come, it is absolutely required to get the hommus and baba ghanouj. I would honestly be satisfied just munching down the free pita bread with those two dips. The pita bread they bring out as a starter is good enough to be its own dish. It was seriously the best free bread I’ve ever had at a restaurant— slightly rustic, light, and immensely flavorful. The dips were amazingly creamy. I didn’t know it was possible for a dip to be that smooth and flavorful. The entrees, however, were great but slightly underwhelming compared to the bombshell appetizer opening. Portion sizes were perfect for me, but may be slightly large for some. I got the fatoush salad, which had a dressing with a sharp acidic taste that I liked. The zaatar was flavorful, but the presentation (as with most of the dishes we ordered) left some to be desired. Average entrees, unparalleled mezze!

    Great Lebanese place with nice food options. We also had the mixed grill kabab which was delicious. We received great service. It was the first time to go to a Lebanese restaurant without interacting with any Lebanese person 😂. Will definitely come back again.

  • 3/5 veronica c. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was absolutely wonderful. The food was good. Although the spicy could have been stronger. The hummus and naan were delicious

  • 5/5 Princess J. 2 years ago on Google
    Their Lebanese puffy pita bread is SO GOOD (hot & fresh). We came here just for their hummus and puffy pita bread but now we also LOVE their chicken kabobs and weirdly their french fries? My brother loves their french fries. It's now our go-to meal when we come here: hummus with their pita bread & chicken kebob with french fries substitute instead of their roasted veggies. Delicious!

    Delicious food, excellent customer service.

  • 5/5 T. K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ate there Saturday night. Had the most fantastic waitress. Loved it here and would go back in a heartbeat I had their baba and artichoke appetizers. My husband had the lamb stew. We both loved our meals.

    They have a nice outdoor seating to enjoy the waterfront in Baltimore. The service is great. Their Mezze platers are great; kenafh is yummy too!
