“ Quaint little market that has some really neat items. The food counter is a little difficult to navigate, where you want a bit of everything and end up with a steep bill. This location has stuffed vegetables, which is what they should have done at their Ballston location. Very delicious. Only concern is ordering process and pricing. ”
“ Must check out this little market on the corner across Pastries by Randolph (best EU pastry shop). This spot has a special kids meal deal for after school, not sharing what it is because you have to come check it out for yourself. They have an abundance of different types of teas in a variety of types of spices, breads, cheeses that are geared towards Lebanese or middle eastern dishes. You have to try their grape leaves. They are so delicious. They beat all the other restaurants anywhere I've ever been before. Their beef sambousick is also a must! Also a speciality for me was finding my childhood candy here. Jols, it's from Australia and even dentists advocate behind it :) i hope they keep importing or selling them! ”
“ Yum! Stopped in to grab a platter for a late lunch and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the chicken platter with a side of rice and a salad. Everything was fresh and delicious! It was enough for 1.5 meals so I had some leftovers afterwards. I liked being able to combine everything into the fresh pita they offered with my meal. Also, the inside of the market was so cozy! A few people were in the seating section enjoying sweets and afternoon coffee when I arrived. Felt like your local market to stop in on a rainy afternoon! ”
“ We hadn't been here in such a very long time and today, by accident almost, we stumbled upon it. Small, perhaps moderate, in size and certainly not as busy as could be the case without COVID, this shop is filled with Lebanese treasures like chicken, lamb and beef shawarma. Wines and cheeses to satisfy even the most unsatisfied and arrogant of pallets. Here you'll find the freshest of Mediterranean foods. It wasn't until we were here for a few minutes did it hit me that all those days away from Lebanese Taverna Market were days wasted. Come here and shop and eat and enjoy! ”
“ More market than eatery, bit great for a quick bite. The shawarma was really good, both chicken and beef, as recommended. The people were very friendly and helpful. Dining area is simple and clean, with large windows letting the sun shine in while you rat. The store was laid out nicely and a nice selection of wines and fruit drinks. There was plentiful parking during the holidays, but getting on and put was a little tricky. ”
