Lebanese Taverna

Got here a little before six on a Monday night and left a little around eight. It was pretty quiet when we got there, but had filled up nicely by the time we left. We just missed happy hour (ended at six, but 100% will be back for it) but we were really there to try the unlimited mezzes Monday night deal. It did not disappoint! The food was all fresh, well prepared, and delicious. This is my first time here, and I will definitely be returning.My biggest take away, besides the quality food, was the portions of their small plate mezzes: they were so much larger than I've seen anywhere else! It was amazing! Over the years, I think I've been conditioned to expect small plates to be REALLY small, and these simply were not. These were appetizers portioned the way appetizers were like, 20 years ago: designed for a table of four to share easily. I really can't tell you how happy I was realizing this!! Made for such a great, fulfilling dining experience.Here's what we had from the unlimited menu:-Za'atar (came with the pita) - great!-Hommus - creamy, dense, surprisingly excellent flavor. I make a lot of hummus myself and I really liked theirs, would recommend.-Moujardara - we ordered this because it sounded interesting and it ended up being one of my favorites! Really generous portion-Grape Leaves - good!-M'saka - good!-Tzatziki - not bad but I might try the labneh next time instead-Shawarma Rolls - really tasty. Loved the crispy herbs and pomegranate seed finish.-Chicken Samosa - good!-Shrimp Arak - shrimp were tasty, the sauce they were in was absolutely fantastic. Be sure to soak it up with some of your pita!-Camel Wings - good!-Tabouleh - good!-Pumpkin bitte - interesting, though I was SO full by the time I got to trying these, haThe pita is fresh, warm, and delicious. It was one of the best parts of the meal. And it just keeps coming!We also ordered a round of drinks, and they were a tasty start. Service was not fast, but we were in no rush, so it was all good.We were a group of three, and I think realistically we should've started out with six dishes total (to share) then paced ourselves with no more than one or two dishes at a time slowly after that... we were practically rolling ourselves out of the restaurant we were so stuffed by the end, haha. (It's the one drawback when you order with much smaller portion expectations!) This is only disappointing because the alla carte dessert menu sounded SOOOO GOOD.I think my strategy next time might be to come for the happy hour, but order dessert first :D Can't wait!

I recently visited Lebanese Taverna in Harbor East, and I've had two different experiences worth sharing. My first visit was amazing! We did have a bit of a wait to get seated, but it was totally worth it. The food was fresh and flavorful, and I'm still dreaming about those juicy chicken wings (labeled as camel chicken on the menu--so fun!). The fresh complimentary pita was a standout too; you could really tell it was made in-house. The interior is beautifully decorated, giving the place a warm and festive vibe. It's definitely a space I'd consider for hosting an event.Now, let's talk about the cauliflower. Oh my goodness, it was hands down my favorite dish! I could've polished off an entire plate by myself--it's that good.The second visit, however, was a little more mixed for my family. My mom wasn't thrilled with her Baba ghanoush being served cold and felt her chicken was overcooked. I still enjoyed my food, but the inconsistency was a bit of a letdown.All in all, I think I'd eat here again because the flavors and vibe are solid, but we're also exploring other options in the area. Lebanese Taverna definitely has potential to stay on our list!

I had lunch at Lebanese Taverna with my husband, mother in law, and family friend, this past weekend after having it on my list for a while! We shared a bunch of mezze: garlic hummus, kibbeh, shrimp arak, pumpkin kibbeh, grape leaves, labneh, haloumi, and fatayer trio, plus a Fattoush salad. Everything was good, but my favorites were the labneh, the kibbeh, and the shrimp arak! I also enjoyed a glass of Lebanese Pinot Noir, while my husband enjoyed a pomenade (pomegranate, lemonade, and orange). The service was great as well. The location isn't one we frequent (we're usually only in Harbor East if we have visitors in town and are showing them around the Inner Harbor area) and the restaurant's decor is a little dated perhaps, but food and service wise? Lebanese Taverna is a win. And a meal I'd be happy to repeat when we're next in the area!

My sister and I visited the Harbor East location yesterday and it was fabulous. We tried the chef platter which was absolutely delicious with the warm in-house made pita. I had the camel wings and she had the Ouzi lamb dish. Both were very flavorful and perfect with the mint tea. However, as delicious as the food was, the service was even better. Mira was charming and knowledgeable about the dishes. She offered excellent recommendations and service.

Went to Lebanese Taverna on a really busy night but the food did not disappoint! Everything had such good flavor and we tried a bunch of different appetizers to fill our tummies. The falafel was very yummy as well as the hummus. Overall, I will be back to try more items with a bigger group. The location in harbor east is great - right by the water!

Loved the beautiful decor in this place. The intricate and detailed design of the place really caught my eye. I've been wanted to come here for a while and I'm glad that I did. The manager here was phenomenal. He was really kind and accommodating. He treated each guest as if they were old friends of his. I loved it. My hubby and I ordered the " Camel Wings" funny name right ?? No they are not made from camels lol they are really good chicken wings with cilantro and lemon, yum yum. After that we ordered the Maanek Sausages - made out of a blend of lamb and beef with a lemon sauce. The presentation was different, culturally authentic I'm assuming, but nonetheless it was really good. I enjoyed the atmosphere, customer service, and the food. I would definitely visit again.

The Ouzi is really good - I like the lamb reduction in the rice. HOWEVER, the Ouzi contains almonds which SHOULD be labeled in the menu. The Mouzat and Hommus are delicious and combination kabob was okay. The pita bread was freshly made and very good! Overall, food is amazing but service is okay. I really appreciate how the manager handled a food allergy mishap - we let our server know of a tree nut allergy and asked which menu items contained almonds/pine nuts. Our server failed to mention the Ouzi had almonds and after an allergic reaction, did not take the situation very seriously.Would return again!

Delicious! We stopped in for an early Saturday lunch around 12:30. Our server was prompt and efficient. We tried the meat hummus which was DELICIOUS and smooth and fresh, served with fresh-baked house bread. We had the fattoush salad which was also fresh and delicious and a huge and shareable portion. We shared the chicken kabobs with rice and grilled veggies in a light sauce. All was fresh and delicious, really good food quality. Wholesome and delicious foods - I love this type of food for the ingredients and flavor. Highly recommend!

Ambiance 4/5 Very cute spot with plenty of seating for our huge part of 10. Bright lighting with bar lining the front lobby and great décor. The place had 2 big parties while we were there and the place had more than enough space to accommodate all of us including other guest. Food 4/5The salmon was very tender and well seasoned. Hummus appetizers was shareable and favorable, must order. Service 5/5 Great service and the waiter was the funniest when recommending drinks. Accommodating for all our guest and request. We appreciate his patience. Price: This was an paid meal from our guest and we were grateful for it. I couldn't tell you what the prices were but our total was about $700.00 for 10 people. Overall great restaurant, Lebanese food is a must try if you haven't!

I love Middle Eastern food! i joke around with my friends and family and tell them that deep inside I'm really Pakistani lol That's how much I enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine. So when I visited Lebanese Tavern at Harbor East, I anticipated nothing but the best. I didn't catch the owners name but he was great. Very friendly and accommodating. I really didn't know what to order but his suggestions helped alot. The place was really nice. They had plenty of TVs for us to watch the game. They had a full bar and comfortable seating. What more can you ask for? It was super hot outside so I appreciated the pumping air conditioning. Their water was fresh and the fresh baked unleavened bread was warm and toasty. I ordered the Camel Wings, they are are chicken wings, but the presentation was pretty cool. Ive never had wings dipped in fresh lemon juice before, it was pretty good. I also never had the lamb and beef sausage dipped in lemon juice. This was an interesting concept, but it turned out to be pretty good. Looking forward to coming back here for dinner.
