Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Govans

Worth the trip into Baltimore! Beautiful place. Got there early for 530 reservation and only a few of us there. Place filled up in no time. Service friendly, and we were very well attended. Food tasty and beautifully presented. My wife and I had a few mezze plates and main dishes which was about perfect amount….small amount of take home. And yes, shared the delicious fig dessert with Arabic coffee…wow! We don’t go out too often but already are talking about how fun it would be with other family.

Truly delicious food in lovely setting. Enjoyed a leisurely lunch. The tables are a bit too close to one another, so when they fill up, you can find yourself bumping into (or getting bumped by) fellow diners. You might expect this at a popular (for good reason) restaurant, but at times it disrupts an otherwise lovely experience. This also leads to servers being a bit over taxed by having to tend to too many customers at once, and we had to ask multiple times for drink refills or missing cutlery. To be fair, this was not the fault of the server, just the nature of the situation. Highly recommend Rumi’s Kitchen, though sharing these experiences in case it helps others know what to expect during peaks hours when the restaurant is full.

The food was excellent. The waiter was patient and provided a suggestion - a platter with rice and several different meats. Our vegan diner had the Mezze dishes which were very good. And, did I say that the food was excellent, not to mention the fantastic baklava for dessert. It was a fantastic time for all of us and a very fair price. I need to come back again soon - and I really need to visit Turkey.

We loved how accommodating Lebanese Taverna was with my gluten free restrictions. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great.

Lebanese Taverna has an extensive menu offering true authentic Lebanese dishes and wine. The service was spot on and very attentive. Suggested an excellent white wine to go with my cauliflower dish and fresh, hot pita bread. Wish this place was closer to home!
