Fodor's Review:

Arched ceilings, cedar panels etched with leaf patterns, woven rugs, and brass lighting fixtures give the Taverna a warm elegance. Start with an order of Arabic bread baked in a wood-burning oven. Lamb, beef, chicken, and seafood are either grilled on kebabs, slow roasted, or smothered with a garlicky yogurt sauce. A group can make a meal of the meze platters—a mix of appetizers and sliced shawarma (spit-roasted lamb).

Reviewed by willieB from DC on 12/6/07
Perhaps the most overrated Middle East restaurant in DC metro area (but it's true, the meze platter is ample), accompanied by sometimes surly and often unresponsive waiters.
Far better bet: Bacchus, in nearby downtown Bethesda, MD. Or try other nearby Adams-Morgan eateries (there's one just across the Calvert St. bridge, within walking distance).
