Can't recommend LT enough!

We had the best wedding food thanks to Lebanese Taverna! All of our guests were raving about the buffet. Ramzi at LT was amazing to work with -- very flexible and knowledgable, and really helped our vision for the buffet come together.

The perfect caterer for any event!

We have worked with Lebanese Taverna on numerous events and love having them here at Fathom Gallery! Charles is always a pleasure to work with and their staff is very professional and attentive. For anyone that wants super fresh and flavorful food for their event Lebanese Taverna is the perfect choice for catering! We have loved working with over the years for weddings, cocktail parties, and corporate events!

Excellent engagement party!

Catering by Lebanese Taverna did a fantastic job for an engagement party at my home. I love dining out at Lebanese Taverna, and when it came time to plan an engagement party for my niece and her fiancé, I thought it would be great to have that same delicious Mediterranean food and those popular Lebanese dishes for our party. Amanda of Catering by LT was responsive and helpful in advising me on everything. The menu has something for everyone and we particularly loved the beef kabobs, salmon harra, stuffed eggplant, and lentils and rice pilaf with caramelized onions, as well as their classic hommus and baba ghanoush. Their baklava is the best! There were many compliments on the food and just as many compliments on how professional, efficient, and nice the serving staff was. Catering by LT went above and beyond in providing a delightful evening and enabling us to have a fun and relaxing celebration for our families and friends.

Amazing experience with Catering by LT!!

The Catering by LT team went above and beyond in making our wedding so special! Patricia was so helpful and responsive to us throughout the planning process. LT provided a whole team to help with service and bartending, and of the course, they served delicious food and dessert!! We are Middle Eastern, and it was so important to us to have authentic Lebanese food. My husband and I are so thankful to this team for taking care of everything so that we did not have to worry about a thing on our special day. We highly recommend Catering by LT for your upcoming events, you will not be disappointed!!

Just the best

I cannot say enough nice things about Charles and the Catering by LT staff. I meet with several caterers before I found Charles and Catering by LT and as soon as we spoke I knew we had to go with them. Charles goes above an beyond any other catering service. He worked with me on all the details, met with the venue on numerous occasions and made sure everything was perfect. All our guests raved about the food (especially the hummus). You cannot go wrong with Catering by LT!

They think of everything so you don't have to!

We chose LT to cater our welcome party the night before our wedding and they were absolutely amazing. Charles, the director of catering, doesn't just make sure you have good food, he makes sure you have a good event (from timing, to linens, etc).

So much amazing food

Because I was planning my wedding from abroad, I picked them without tasting the food. My gamble paid off. There was about 2-3 more food than we could eat at the wedding (so the extended family ate well for days afterwards). We had their dips and appetizers and it was incredible. I would eat this food every day, but the display was so nice that it looked extremly elegant. They delivered on time and set it up really nicely. Highly recommend.

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Pentagon Row Lebanese Taverna and it was a real delight. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone in our large and diverse group (including children, older people, international visitors and picky eaters).

Everyone loved the food and there were lots of compliments from our out-of-town guests who hadn't eaten there before (and from one of our wedding party who had her own rehearsal dinner there ten years earlier!). Very reasonably priced for what you get and we couldn't believe how much food there was! Fortunately we had some teenage boy guests there to take home the leftovers. Although we were in the main restaurant space we felt like we had a sense of privacy and didn't feel at all rushed or hurried, it was very relaxed.

Alex from the Group & Private Dining team was extremely helpful in tailoring our menu and sorting out all the details (at quite late notice - we had left this to the last minute to organize) and all the staff on the night were great. Overall it was a lovely experience and we were so happy with our choice. Will definitely be returning!

Catering by LT was delicious and I highly recommend them. They are very reasonable priced, worked smoothly with both Select Rentals and our wedding planner and the food was delicious. Shawna was great to work with and was very accommodating to a few guests with very unique food requirements. They were wonderful. Everyone kept telling us they appreciate good interesting food instead of boring dry chicken!

I photographed a wedding alongside Toni Briggs who was working with Catering by LT - she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was she great with the couple she was very aware of my needs as a photographer, kept me posted on any schedule tweaks, made sure I ate, got me water, etc. Not to mention it is LT food, which is an Arlington favorite and absolutely amazing. Toni and the LT catering staff were all just lovely!
