The hummus is the best you'll ever have - EVER! It's airy and light mixed with the perfect balance of chick peas, tahini, olive oil and other ingredients. The Taverna offers great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike. The best vegetarian options, other than the hummus, include the tabbouleh, baba ghannouge, and fatayer b’jibne (cheese pastry). Favorite meat mezzas are the shrimp arak and kibbeh. If going for an entrée, which we rarely do, the mixed grill is bang on! Stay away from the chicken shawarma which is consistently dry. They offer half-price wine bottles on Monday nights and also have a kids menu with chicken fingers and pizza. It’s a family owned and operated restaurant which has grown tremendously in the DC area over the years.
