Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Essex

Have only been here twice and it has been nothing short of a great overall experience. Top notch service, food, and ambience. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely wonderful dining experience! Friendly service, beautiful ambiance and the best Turkish food I have tried!

Always reliable. Elegant, good service, and depending on what your order good food. I love how I can always find a table and make guests from out of town happy. The appetizers are the stars of the menu and you could do just fine without any main dishes.

Beautiful decor and sensual atmosphere-almost transports you to a different country. The service was top notch. Our server Rosa was very attentive, friendly and helpful with making choices from the menu. She made the experience even better. The manager was also very attentive and made sure we were getting everything we wanted/needed in a timely manner. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to enjoy all of the food since I haven’t been to many Middle Eastern restaurants but I was wrong. I loved everything we ordered. Everything was delicious-well seasoned, beautifully presented and high quality. Some of our favorite choices were the beetroot salad, the honey burrata, the cheese rolls (haloumi cigars), the Bronzino, the chicken kebabs (shish tawouk skewers) the Dubai chocolate crunch bar and the Ashta Bil Asal ( milk cream with Arabic cotton candy). We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return. Highly recommend this restaurant! Valet is available and is added to your bill. Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, impeccable service. A+

Lebanese Taverna has an extensive menu offering true authentic Lebanese dishes and wine. The service was spot on and very attentive. Suggested an excellent white wine to go with my cauliflower dish and fresh, hot pita bread. Wish this place was closer to home!
