Mejana

While staying at the Residence Inn (next door to this restaurant) my coworker and I came here for dinner. The folks here were very friendly and they accommodated us, even though we didn't have a reservation. They were moderately busy on a Monday night. Their menu is loaded with many Mediterranean specialties, small plates, entrées, etc.All of the items we ordered were great! Lots of flavor and freshness to the ingredients which showed through in the dishes were enjoyed. Some favs were their beef shawarma, toum, and beef kabob. But save room for dessert, they have Aschta here and that's an amazing dessert. They also offered mango sorbet on the night we went and it was great too.Service was decent. The venue is beautifully decorated. Prices are decent too.

Loved returning to Mejana in Courthouse on a Sunday afternoon. We were greeted by the hostess and sat right away. Ambiance was great and cozy per usual. We ordered the Dip Sampler with bread and Hot sampler (2 fried kibeh, 2 cheese rolls, 2 falafel) which were both great. I loved their bread with the beet dip, definitely a standout. The lentil soup was rich and creamy. For main entrées, we went with the Kafta Skewers and Beef Skewers. I absolutely loved the Kafta skewers as the flavor of lamb was not overbearing. It was just perfect. We were so full we couldn't fit dessert in, but I have had their Baklava so many times, just delicious !!

I'll start by trying to describe their service, terrible? None existent? Yes and yes, but insulting is the best way to describe it in my opinion.How are you in businesses is mind boggling to me. If your customers order appetizers, they are likely to order a meal as well. But they can't do that if you just disappear. You don't even have the courtesy to come back and check if we like the appetizers or refill the drinks. We shouldn't have to chase you for basic dining out needs.Manager/owner, your wait staff is in desperate need of training though the ones we dealt with today are beyond help because you cannot teach common sense. I don't like to penalize a business because of one terrible employee but this is the third visit to Mejana with similarly substandard experience. It's almost like the whole wait staff is trying to bring the place down. I just don't get it but today was the last time you'll see my money. You have lost my family's business permanently. What a shame!

Mejana is great, we went as a girls night dinner. The decor is lush and colorful, and I can't wait to come back in the warmer months to take advantage of the outdoor space. We had a very patient and attentive server, who got our various drink orders flowing. We ordered a table of appetizers for sharing, and the Octopus was perfectly cooked and tasty

I really enjoy Mejana and wish I had visited this Arlington legend sooner. It's very pretty and warm inside. Service has always been great. I love their baba ghanoush, which is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the meze sampler, consisting of fried kibbeh, cheese rolls, and falafel. All were great. I also really enjoy their cauliflower and shish taouk as well. I do wish their pita was a little bit better, as I find it bland, and I'm used to absolutely delicious, addictive pitas, but this is not it. Bakalva was good and I've enjoyed the cocktails I've had. I look forward to returning to Mejana.

It was a nice afternoon so we sat outside on their patio for lunch. The patio is nice, aesthetic and the inside decor is modern with a nice vibe. Service was friendly and the menu had a lot of good options, especially for apps... we wanted to make room for our main entrees... But failed we ordered the cheese sticks and they were delicious!We came for their mixed grill and it did not disappoint! The meat was flavorful and tender plus presentation is always a plus for me. I loved the rack they served it on. The lamb was my favorite. My husband opted for the chicken shawarma. And he was very happy with his choice. We would definitely return! There are more things on the menu I'd like to try.

I love Lebanese food. Unfortunately, this was easily the most forgettable Lebanese food ever. Let me start from the beginning, though. I arrived before the friend that I was dining with, but I thought she was already there. I spoke to the hostess who told me that I was the first to arrive. At that moment, my friend called-- she was lost-- so I stepped outside to take the call. Less than 5 mins later I walked back inside, but the first hostess I spoke to was now seating a party, so I went to the hostess stand and spoke to the other two hostesses who were there. I said "I have a 1 pm reservation" and one of the hostesses looked at the computer and then looked at me and just said "yes." So now I'm like...? (just looking at her bc surely I don't have to ask to be seated? Why else would I be at the hostess stand?) The other hostess steps in and says "would you like to be seated?" And I'm like "... yes." (Again, what else would I be doing at the hostess stand?) Anyway, once seated I ordered two starters: halloumi with watermelon and dates and the fattoush. The halloumi was fine, but the fattoush was easily the worst I've ever had. It was way too acidic and there were not nearly enough crispy khubz pieces. We decided to order the mixed grill which was extremely overpriced and under-portioned-- three little skewers of meat and a side of rice for $37 is madness. The flavor of the skewers was fine, but nothing to write home about. The rice was super bland. The only thing actually tasty on the platter was the toum. TL;DR: overpriced and underwhelming.

One of my favorite Lebanese spots!!My colleagues and I frequent Mejana for lunch and business meetings and they NEVER disappoint. Every meal is made fresh, the service is great and the price is right. The venue is fitting for any occasion and offers ample indoor and outdoor seating.

We had a wonderful brunch at Me Jana. All the dishes were super tasty , wonderful service and great ambiance. Definitely recommend.

Food was "ok", ordered mixed grill and seafood mixed grill. Chicken kabob was good, beef and lamb were super hard and too chewy. Service was great, everyone was welcoming and nice. Ambiance was exactly what we hoped for, cozy yet modern touch. Service and ambiance keeps the place together, food not so much.
