Visited today for a falafel wrap and lentil soup. Both were great. The falafel was crispy and the soup thick and flavorful. Service was very quick. Very simple decor. Used to go across the street, but lunchvwas much better at Taste of Lebanon.

Love Taste of Lebanon! Super friendly staff. The Lebanese salad and kefta are my favorites. Cash only! Thanks for being such a great part of the neighborhood.

Wow, just wow. Taste of Lebanon is a reliable, delicious, and friendly lebanese restaurant located in Andersonville, tentatively holding out against the proliferation of inauthenticity in the area. There's nothing you won't like on the menu, and while prices have been raised, they're still leagues below the competition. My go-to order is the #2 vegetarian combo with lentil soup or a lamb kofta wrap, their falafel is always hot and fresh. Their service is efficient but friendly and accomodating, and eating a meal in their storefront on the side of Foster makes you feel at home.

(Cash Only) I've been visiting for years. I always get the chicken hummus with pita and veggies on the side. I've been disappointed lately as they haven't brought back their pickled turnips (I could buy jars of those, I've even tried making them! They have a special secret though. Because mine are good but nothing like theirs). But today they added a garlic sauce that is to die for! So as sad as I am that I may never get my pickled turnips. But they definitely redeemed themselves with the garlic sauce!

Wonderful Lebanese spot with terrific food! The falafel and shwarma are some of the best in the city. Great staff who were very helpful and polite. Definitely stop by for some awesome food at this mom and pop. Side note: cash only and the prices are remarkable for the quality of food they are serving!!

Chicken was a bit dry, but lamb was fantastic. Their toom was very sour and acidic- I've never had Lebanese shawarma, only Syrian, so maybe this is typical, but none of the people in my party could consume the toom and usually it's my favorite part of shawarma. Great prices so absolutely great value for $!

I love this place. Great food. Great prices. CASH ONLY!!!! Quick for grab-and-go food, but there are a few tables in case you want to stay and dine-in.

Vegetarian platters here are delicious and provide you with a wonderful smattering of all of the best Lebanese veggie options. Falafel are flavorful and crispy while the hummus is incredibly smooth and creamy! Friendly quick service too :) Cash only!

In a time where everything feels so expensive and overpriced, we need to celebrate places like Taste of Lebanon! It's a tiny, no frills neighborhood spot serving delicious Middle Eastern food at very reasonable prices. Let's honor the ability to get a chicken shawarma wrap, a side like fries or lentil soup, and a drink for under $10 while we still can. Now is a good time to mention this place is CASH ONLY. Pro Tip: splurge for a $0.79 side of garlic sauce and put that on whatever you order! Highly recommended and I will definitely return.
