Populairste Libanese restaurants in Clifton

Friends hosted me several times at their home, and I wanted to thank them with a special dinner out. As always, Seray was the perfect spot! They had never been before and raved about the food, ambience, and service. Another great evening!

What a wonderful and delicious find in this area to dine at before going to a movie. The ingredients were all extremely fresh (had a salad) and the spices used on the salmon (to go on top of the salad), were very flavorful!! A nice glass of Rose wine too..........

Accommodating friendly young staff, with good food coming out of the kitchen. Excellent Lebanese wine selections.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Taste of Home, Made with Love! Every time I visit Arlington, this restaurant is one of the places I genuinely look forward to returning to. And that says a lot, because aside from seeing my daughter, enjoying another wonderful meal here is one of the highlights of my visits! I’ve always had a deep love for Mediterranean cuisine, especially Lebanese food. Growing up in Venezuela, where there was a wonderful Lebanese community, I was fortunate to experience many of these beautiful flavors from an early age. They’re part of my childhood memories, the kind of comfort food that brings a little piece of home back with every bite. And that’s exactly what I find here. There’s something truly special about their food. Every dish tastes as though it has been prepared with genuine care, attention, and pride. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these wonderful flavors came from cherished family recipes. There’s a certain warmth and authenticity here that you simply cannot fake.Their chicken, beef, and lamb are consistently cooked to perfection. Always tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned. Never dry, never bland, and never overly salty. Somehow, they always achieve that perfect balance of spices and flavors that makes every bite so satisfying 😋 My recommendations from this visit: The grape leaves, tabbouleh, hummus, shawarma combo platter, baklavas, and, the pistachio latte. Every single one was a delight! To the wonderful people at Olive Lebanese Eatery, Please know that your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. You have created more than just a place to enjoy a delicious meal. You’ve created a place that makes someone like me feel a little closer to home. Thank you for doing what you do, and for doing it so beautifully. Until my next visit! ❤️

This is my favorite restaurant in DC! The food is divine and the service impeccable. The cloud pita is like a dream. My champagne was ice cold and the food was amazing. The baklava was also spectacular. 10/10 - no notes :)
