p>This family owned restaurant gives you a taste of Lebanese culture -- its cuisine, decor, and music. It's very popular on weekends, so expect to stand in line (reservations are accepted for seating before 6:30pm only). Diners, once seated in the courtyardlike dining room, where music plays and prayer rugs hang on the walls, hate to leave. The wood-burning oven in the back bakes the pita breads and several appetizers. Order a demi mezze, with pita for dipping, and you get 10 sampling dishes, including hummus, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush, and pastry-wrapped spinach pies (fatayer bi sabanikh), enough for dinner for two or hors d'oeuvres for four, and a pretty good deal at $45 for the platter. The wealth of meatless dishes will delight vegetarians, while rotisserie items, especially the chicken and the chargrilled kebabs of chicken and shrimp, will please all others.
There are other Lebanese Tavernas in the area but this is the only one in the District.
Lunch main courses $7.75-$15; dinner main courses $11-$19.Open: Mon-Fri 11:30am-2:30pm; Sat 11:30am-3pm; Mon-Thurs 5:30-10:30pm; Fri-Sat 5:30-11pm; Sun 5-10pm.Reservations accepted before 6:30pm.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.Metro: Woodley Park-Zoo.
