Taste of Lebanon Restaurant

"This Andersonville hole-in-the-wall offers tasty Lebanese food at wallet-friendly prices. Made fresh, the hearty lentil soup is a nice addition to a fall or winter meal. Savor it in the unfussy dining room, decorated with a beachy wall mural or take it to go." - Naomi Waxman

"This shotgun-style storefront restaurant emphasizes substance over style, and once the food arrives the surroundings melt away. Diners feast on falafel, hummus, and lavosh wraps containing lamb kebab, chicken or beef shawarma, but the real showstopper is the lentil soup." - Eater Staff

"This cash-only Middle-Eastern spot in Andersonville is a huge reason to always have at least one bill with a portrait of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s muse. And with that $10 you can get a sizable pita wrap full of chicken shawarma or pillowy falafel with hummus, a large plate of fries, and still have enough left over for a drink. It’s the ideal place for a quick lunch or dinner, and make sure to get their delicious (and potent) garlic sauce on the side (though you might want to pack a travel toothbrush with you beforehand)." - john ringor, veda kilaru

"You’ll find an almost obnoxious amount of charm in Andersonville, thanks to all the cute boutiques and antique stores. And if browsing old vinyl and trying on used wedding dresses has made you want something warm and homey, go to Taste of Lebanon. This small cash-only spot has an excellent, peppery lentil soup. Plus, it has enough protein to help you push anyone out of the way who is also eyeing that mid-century bar cart that’s perfect for your apartment." - josh barnett, john ringor

"This cash-only Lebanese spot in Andersonville is a big reason to always have some physical money on hand: everything on the menu is less than $10. Armed with a bill featuring Lin Manuel Miranda’s muse, you can get a sizable pita wrap full of chicken shawarma or pillowy falafel with hummus, a large plate of fries, and still have enough left over for a drink. It’s the ideal place for a quick lunch or dinner, and make sure to get their delicious (and potent) garlic sauce on the side." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
