I got the beef shawarma bowl and didn't even get through half of it. My friend got the falafel pita, which is an appetizer, and she could also only eat half. All for a great price too! The only thing I didn't care for was the pistachio cheese pocket. It's listed as a dessert but it's literally a calzone with pistachios over it. I didn't taste any sweetness and it was a strange combo. It was still tasty but it's very different than what I expected. They have cocktails, beers, and wines as well. I got a glass of wine which was only $9 and I enjoyed it.

So, I decided to pull up the nearest breakfast spot and ended up here at Olive Lebanese Eatery. The menu had a lot of options for breakfast! I decided to try the Lebanese Scramble w/Wheat toast and a Lebanese Mint Lemonade. My food was seasoned to perfection and tasted amazing! The drink was not overly sweet and the mint was fresh! Seating is available inside and on the patio. It is a small spot but service was great and they were knowledgeable with the menu and offering suggestions. This will definitely be a fave for me whenever I am back in the area! I hope to try their lunch menu soon! The pricing was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and fairly quiet. I had a high table next to the window for a view! I walked here but Im sure parking is available on the street. It's kind of tucked off behind a building but you cant miss the red umbrellas on the patio!

They definitely can handle crowds! Everything that I tried was super duper fresh. I personally ordered a Sheesh Tauk Salad and Mint Lemonade. The chicken was juicy, the salad was glistening.

Went here with a friend after attending a choral concert at nearby Westover Baptist Church…read more It is clearly a neighborhood favorite because it was packed with a line out the door to be seated (so reservations are probably a good idea). I think we waited about 10 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it. The host checked on us several times to let us know our table was almost ready. We opted for mezze because we wanted a little bit of everything. My friend is picky so we couldn't do anything with lamb , but still had some very nice dishes: garlic hummus (very garlicky, smooth and tasty), fried halloumi (fried cheese - enough said!), pumpkin kibbeh (delicately spiced and delicious), and chicken samosas (nice texture and spices). The restaurant is not very big so it gets pretty loud, but the food is delicious and the service is good, too. .

It's always very crowded and the shawarmas have mystery meat that I can not identify. Service is okay so I gave an extra star. Also it's not very middle eastern which I mentioned before. Either way though just because it's a family owned restaurant does not mean it is the greatest thing in the world. Elijah

I was pleasantly surprised with the Brussels sprouts with the grapes, but this was an amazing combination. The mixed grill was the perfect size for two people to share and everything was delicious. My favorite out of the mix was the beef kabob. The ambiance was really nice here. It felt peaceful and relaxed and elevated. I love a brunch that isn't too much commotion where you can just eat and chat, this was the perfect spot for this. I'll certainly be back again.

The lamb was seasoned well and it was deliciousm -Baba ghanoush one of my favorite. Love the sprinkle of pomegranates on top -hummus was smooth and creamy -Kebab kerez (beef & lamb meatballs with a cherry sauce,and kataifi) this was delectable. Definitely would order this again. --bata harra (potatoes with Aleppo peppers and cilantro toum). Potatoes were roast to perfection. Well seasoned and not overly cooked. With crispness on the outside and soft and moist on the inside Just right. It paired well with the cilantro toum. This complimented the lamb burger. Dessert was almond baklava and cashews baklava (mini bites) The staff was attentive and friendly. It was fairly crowded on a Sunday afternoon; but it wasnt loud. Nice atmosphere.

We only ordered drinks, and to start, we had the pistachio espresso martini. It was so delicious. The rim of crushed pistachios was the perfect touch. My second drink was the lemon elixir, and although I'm not a fan of the tartness of lemon, I did really like this drink. I think the creaminess overshadowed the tartness for me. My last drink of the night was the orange dreamsicle. This was definitely my favorite out of the three! It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and had a creaminess to it that I enjoyed. On top of the tasty drinks, we had an amazing waiter! He made sure to explain all the drinks to us and he was very accommodating. I'll definitely be back to visit next time I'm in the area!

The espresso martinis were a little too sweet and taste more like chocolate milk than a martini. My favorite dish of the night were the fries, everything was decent at most. Not a single dish stood out to us in any way. We tried the Octopus, lamb shank for two, chicken kebabs, and tzatziki dip. The lamb was bland and needed salt while the chicken was super bland and dry. The octopus was OK and the tzatziki was decent. The fries were the only really tasty dish of the night. I'd skip Layli as not one single dish made us want to come back, especially for the price. The search for a great Arlington restaurant continues

The sandwiches are pretty big you can probably share one between two people especially if you want to get a dessert. Beef egg & cheese sandwich - my husband got this one and it's a nice breakfast sandwich it has really nice spices in it which make it different from other breakfast sandwich places. Kafta sandwich - this was perfect for lunch the flavors are really amazing. The baked desserts were hit or miss I'll come back to try some more. I wasn't the biggest fan of the flour used. It was pretty busy on the weekend, but we still managed to find parking and a table. People work on their laptops there so the turn over is slower. The inside is a bit cramped, I did have a little anxiety because there's really no space between you and the person next to you and there's just a small path to walk around. Parking is around back of the building, it has signs up that it's parking for that building only. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.
