    I've been to this restaurant about a dozen times in the last year or two and have never been disappointed. I wish it was closer to my house! We often go in a group of 5-7 people and it amazes me how quickly the food comes out; I do not recall any mishaps with our orders. I'm a fan of their tacos, especially the mushroom, pulpo and vegetarian. I've had their chapulines tacos a couple years ago, but they (little grasshoppers) have not been on the menu lately as far as I know; was I the only one ordering them;) Waiters are always helpful and accommodating. They have indoor and outdoor seating, weather permitting. Parking can be a challenge, but that is true of most of Bethesda.

    It had been many years since I enjoyed this DC mainstay, and on my recent visit, they did not disappoint. The food and service were top-notch. Our server was amazing and let my family members/me enjoy a reunuion after 5 years of not seeing one another. Class all the way! Five stars for Lebanese Taverna!
