Reviews for Zikrayet Lebanese Restaurant and Lounge in Alexandria, VA

This establishment was my first exposure to Lebanese cuisine and let me tell you, I will be back! My boyfriend and I were on a... date and the wait staff was incredibly intuitive when coming and going, seeming to always know when was a good time and when wewere too deeply involved in conversation. The food was fresh and flavorful. We got the variety sampler and multiple cocktails. Ihave no complaints at all. I'm sensitive to the taste of alcohol and I need my cocktails to be well mixed so I can't taste thealcohol flavor and every one I ordered achieved this. The sampler was modestly priced and an incredible value for the money.There was plenty of seating and a pleasant atmosphere. We sat outside and enjoyed it; there was no loudness like one might thinkwhen a restaurant is sandwiched between 2 other businesses with high customer volume. When I'd go inside to use the restroom,the hookah didn't suffocate, the inside seemed well ventilated. I recommend Zikrayet and I'm looking forward to coming back. Read more

This food here was bad. The only decent thing I ate was the falafel. For reference I ordered a chicken shawarma combo, spinach... pies, and falafels. With a hookah. For the price point of the food and the long hours they are open, I expected the kitchen tobe better. The shawarma was underwhelming, the wrap was soggy, and the lettuce looked old. Not worth 80 dollars. Read more

We enjoy the food every time I come here for lunch! We usually order a variety of appetizers to share “tapas style,” and... everything we try is always delicious! Plenty of outdoor seating and friendly staff! Read more

This is a very nice place if you’re craving Lebanese food! I ordered the shish tawouk shawerma combo that came with fries and... a soda. It was really delicious. I did ask for some pickles and they charged me $6 for it. Our waitress was clearly new andshe was little overwhelmed and all over the place. Even though me and my friend asked for 2 separate checks, we had to returnthe bill two times because the orders on the bill were mixed up. All in all, I liked the food and atmosphere of the restaurant.I recommend sitting outside if you’re visiting; they have a nice outside seating area. Read more

**We came for dinner on a Friday and were informed that on Friday and Saturday this place is more like a nightclub with a dance... floor and live music**. We came by again on a Tuesday and were surprised at the friendly service and great food. We lookedaround at how synchronized the servers were while helping each other clear tables and serve guests with water, things likenapkins or cutlery, before they even asked for anything. The food was great- the rice was flavorful, the lamb was tender, thefattouche salad was so tasty and the lentil soup as well. We reccomend the chocolate fondant for dessert- it is well worth theextra time it takes to prepare. The only thing we disliked was the beef schwarma which tasted a little old/grainy. Read more

Something different for a change. Food was delicious, flavorful and the drinks were strong!! I had the chicken shawarmaand that... was really good while my friend and the lamb. Five minutes wait on a walk-in. We were seated outside in tent since the insidewas reserved for private party. Good thing the weather wasn't too bad on a Saturday. They do offer hookah at your table as well. Read more
