Getting there

A word from Kababji Grill

Kababji Grill features authentic, healthy, and flavorful Lebanese cuisine in a casual environment. Kababji Grill is decorated in rich traditional colors and regional artifacts. Our signature orange brick charcoal burning grill, imported from Lebanon, perfectly captures the full flavor of our food.… Familiar favorites include an array of flavorful meat and chicken kebabs, hummus and tabouli. Our Washington, DC location is the first outside of the Middle East.Continued

"The best Middle Eastern restaurant in DC. Specialty are the Kababa and you cannot go wrong with any. The fried kebbeh is excellent also. A dinner made of appetizers would do, but you would be missing the authentically prepared grilled meats. Service is almost always good and wine list is good enough."

"This Lebanese restaurant is great for a quick, Middle Eastern fix. This time my husband and I split four appetizers for dinner. The food is always fresh and tasty. Perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.
The restaurant itself is spacious and nicely decorated."

"Dare I say it? Kababji Grill is way better than Lebanese Taverna. Food is outstanding and service is always very attentive and helpful. Check out the wine list too for interesting Lebanese wines that pair well."

"Very good food and very reasonable wine prices by the bottle. Wine prices by the glass are one-third of the bottle price--unusually high. While the waiter was inexperienced with wine [bringing a sparkling blanc de blanc when sauvignon blanc had been ordered], the overall service was very good. The hostess and manager were charming. This was our first visit, and we will definitely return."
