What Lorenzo Verdi doesn't like about Lebanese Taverna:
I have dined at Tavernas across the metro area and this particular Taverna location over the past 20 yrs. I have not experienced such lack in attention in the details as I have the last several times visited. Take out: the last few times that I have picked up my order I have had the incorrect order, or missing items from my order.

I love leb tavs eating, and I like the ambiente. However, it was clear that the server was ready that our party left the restaurant, which was a bummer.

In a recent visit to a long-established Taverna location, diners experienced a decline in food quality and service, with incorrect orders and overcooked dishes. The ambiance received mixed reviews, with some finding it cozy and comforting, while others were disappointed by a rushed dining experience. Despite these drawbacks, the restaurant still maintains a loyal following, with patrons praising the authentic Lebanese cuisine, particularly the flavorful shawarma and crispy falafel. The attentive and friendly staff, along with standout dishes like the lamb fettah and chicken kabob, help to elevate the overall dining experience. While there were some hiccups reported, such as disappointing lamb sharhat, the restaurant continues to be a neighborhood gem, offering warm pita bread and a satisfying mezza menu for those who enjoy sharing small plates. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering the original location for the first time, Lebanese Taverna in the Westover area promises a taste of delicious Lebanese fare in a friendly village setting.
