Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Van Ness

Consistently excellent food and service. Much of menu gluten free. Always consistent pleasant service. Reasonably priced and no rush. Good place to meet friends for conversation/

The holiday menu was a feast, it was an amazing showcase of so many items at a very good price. The staff was very attentive and provided many special moments and details.

Had a wonderful meal at Lebanese taverna. The food was outstanding. The dish sizes are perfect. Their flavorful renditions of Lebanese Classics. Will definitely go back!

There was a slight delay with seating the reservations. Based on overhearing the communication between the hostess and other staff, it seemed to be largely due to the inexperience of the waiting staff. However, I attribute most of it due to the holiday, Valentine’s Day. It Can feel a little tight as they’ve maximized the use of all available space to seat patrons, so if you get a little claustrophobic, you may want to consider dining at a time that isn’t busy. Overall great value and great experience, especially for the Washington DC area. The only recommendation I would make to Rumi’s Kitchen would be to broaden your selection of wines by the glass. At the price point of your bottles of wine, it makes it a little difficult for some patrons to commit to making the purchase of a bottle.  Thanks for the good time!

We went there for my boyfriend birthday and we’re both so thankful for the overall services from the host to the servers even the one that wasn’t assigned to us were very kind . A special thanks to Yaser impeccable service he took care of my boyfriend and I like we were family. Food also 10/10 ambiance really relaxing and chic .we will definitely be back.
