Lebanese Taverna

I tried Lebanese Taverna for lunch and had a very average experience. The inside is nice, the seating options are great, service was quick, however the food could use improvement.I ordered the falafel wrap and was very underwhelmed. The pita tasted like it had been left on a countertop for 2 weeks. It tasted stale and bland. I wish that the wrap had been lightly toasted to bring the pita back to life.The falafel itself was just ok. It was a little grittier than I prefer falafel and not nice and fluffy like I would expect an authentic falafel to be. The wrap had some veggies and sauce which were all average. Really if the pita was better I would not be so critical of the ingredients inside the wrap. Lebanese Taverna does not have many other options for vegans to try. Since I do not want to eat that pita ever again, I do not see myself going back. I hope they will consider toasting their pitas in the future because I think it could really elevate their menu.

It's been awhile since I've been to Lebanese Taverna. I ordered delivery this time. Disappointing. My chicken shawarma sandwich was very dry and they either skimped on the garlic sauce or just didn't give me any. Definitely nothing was available on the side. The falafel sandwich was just a little better but still dry and again no sauce. The fries were greasy and smashed into the box. Definitely skip these. Grape leaves were okay. They used to be so good.

I went here with a group of friends after falling down at the ice rink so many times. We had a late lunch but my food experience was sub-par. Walking in you're greeted by a nice lady who graciously took our orders one by one. She was nice and prevented this from getting a two star rating.I got the mixed kabob platter, and I was hoping for a bit more food for the price I paid for but it was very lackluster. You get chunks of chicken, steak, and Kafta which is Kofta in other countries but it's ground beef with onions, spices, parsley. The food came out a bit cold and I was a bit underwhelmed honestly. The meats, they were cooked fine but again just not for the price I paid for. Rice Pilaf was great, but you don't get enough of it. The salad is well, salad. Can't really complain there.If there's anything I do have to mention, it's this tomato sauce that's under the grilled meat... I really hate to say this but it reminded me of Chef Boyardee. I'm not really sure how I came to that conclusion but I didn't like it.The pita with the garlic paste, it was good. You get a lot of Pita and I'm just surprised that I got so much for such small of a dish I had.Would I come back here? Probably not. I think there are better options in the area and this wouldn't be it.

Right on the town square - this nifty little gem offers indoor and outdoor seating and a variety of food and drink options that are delicious and well-priced. But even better than that is the staff service and friendliness. These folks are accommodating and kind and patient and just all-around supportive of community - and inclusion. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is located in Rockville Center. When it is chilly, you can ice skate in the middle of the cluster of shops and eateries. The food is great. The sampler is a great way to try lots of dishes. It would be nice is the customer could choose how many of each item. The cashier forgot to enter my soup with the rest of our orders. I just decided to forget it. The hummus is flavorful. The bread was yummy. The portions are decent. There is a variety of menu items. We lingered at the table. The employees were nice about it. There was a group of approx 8-10 youth that decided to just come in and sit (and cause trouble) without ordering anything. The employee did a great job of politely/firmly asking the group to leave. Street parking is hit or miss. There is a garage around the corner.

Came in this afternoon for a late lunch. Had the Anna's Platter, which is beef or chicken schwarma, rice, salad, hummus and bread. On the positive side, the bread has a nice crisp outside and is not doughy. I thought it was very good, as was the hummus and the salad. The salad had a light oil/vinegar dressing applied, which was very nice. The rice was meh (it is what it is - boiled white rice without much flavor). On the negative side, I got the beef schwarma and it was dry and lacked spicing. Like - surprisingly dry with some hard, dry pieces. Really disappointing beef schwarma. Maybe the chicken is more moist.The person who took our order at the counter smiled when we came in. I thought it was odd that she delivered the food to the tables of the other patrons, but, for us, she put the food on the counter and shouted that we should pick it up. It wasn't a big deal, but she had just brought the food over to two other tables minutes earlier. It seemed odd that she wouldn't bring ours over. Maybe because I didn't include a tip on the bill? I like to tip based on service, at the end of the meal. Anyway, the dry beef schwarma killed the meal for me despite the positives of the salad, bread and hummus. I'm talking dry like take a mouthful of water with each forkful to get it down dry. I really like this type of food but will likely go elsewhere by car for Mediterranean food even though this place is just a quick walk down the street from where I live.

This is a fast casual version of Lebanese Taverna where you can get the same quality of food for a fraction of the price! The restaurant itself was comfortable, and completely empty when I was there on a Sunday night. They serve complimentary pita bread which was soft and fluffy and delicious, and paired so well with the hummus. I got the beef shawarma platter and will say that the beef was a bit too overdone for me, but the flavor was definitely there! The salad and rice were delicious and the hummus stole the show! Staff was kind and accommodating as well, and I am looking forward to trying more on their menu!

My daughter, and I stopped by Leb Tav for dinner. I ordered the Shawarma platter, and my daughter ordered hummus and the falafel basket. I'm used to fresh Middle Eastern, cuisine, and bluntly, expected to be slightly disappointed. I'm very happy to say that the food was much better than expected.The platter was fine, the falafel was fresh, and the pita was hot from the oven. There was a slight error in that the Shawarma I wanted was lamb, and I was given chicken, but since I didn't specify when ordering, I don't feel it was the restaurants fault.The best thing about the restaurant was not the food, but the attitude of the lady taking the order. She was professional, helpful, and very positive.Even my daughter commented on her pleasant nature, and that we should have tried this restaurant before now.I would rate the food, a four out of five, and the service of five out of five.

Will definitely report this location to the health dept- kitchen staff cross contaminating - touching raw and cooked foods with same gloves - kitchen was filthy and not using tongs or utensils- place smells bad - and service is mediocre at best -

Chicken Shawarma Sandwich was tasteless, it was not fresh and cold.Chicken Samosa Pastries very dry and overly cooked. I won't be ordering from this place anymore.
