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.

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!!

I'm a wedding planner, and Catering by LT catered one of my recent weddings. They were wonderful! Working with Shawna was easy from start to finish, she was beyond helpful, and the food! Wow. So delicious. The guests loved it too! I can't wait to have another wedding with Shawna and the Catering by LT team.

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!
