Reviews for Bacchus of Lebanon in Bethesda, MD

Very authentic and wonderful selection. I began my meal with grapes leaves, fresh pita and zatar for dipping. I ordered the... malfoof (stuffed cabbage served with yogurt) in a lovely light tomatoes sauce. I ended with a knafeh which was spectacular. Iate at the bar and the service was wonderful. I went back a second time snd had the stuffed zucchini appetizer & lamb stew overrice. I also had the pear tart which was delightful. Recently, I went back and had the garlic chicken accompanied by almond riceand am incredible lemon zest dessert topped with pistachio. The owner was kind enough to compliment my meal with the hummus -freshly made? Read more

Nice place. Outdoor is covered and heated but it was really hot during lunch hours. Food was decent. Didn't like the knafeh,... burned top with cheese not melted completely. Asked for replacement, top was good but cheese was rock hard. The rest was good,friendly staff. You can book and throw a party. It was a Bride To Be event when I was there. Read more

My wife and I ate here for the first time last night. It had a great atmosphere, fantastic service, and delicious food &... drinks. I forgot to take a picture of our dessert because it was so good it was gone before it occurred to me to take a photo. We?ll be going back again soon! Read more

The cheese and the beef egg rolls are OUTSTANDING! I drive from VA to get them. The service was great and the food was yummy. I... enjoyed the appetizers mainly which I love. Stay away from non traditional dishes like the calamari, but rather go for hummus,baba ghanush, shawarma and of course kalaj. I highly recommend Read more

When we walked in we sure if we would sit outside or at the bar ? but we saw the bar corner was open and we made the right... choice.. the bartender kept our bottle of wine on ice .. the bartender recommended the best appetizers and man were theydelicious.. we shared the branzino fish and wow? can?t ask for better in Bethesda 6 out of 5 stars!!! Best date night in a while Read more

Our first time tonight at this place, and I can?t believe I?ve never been there before! Tim, our server, was very helpful,... knowledgeable and joyful. He gave us great recommendations! The food was so tasty! We had lamb and chicken, both meats weretender and delicious. Definitely will come back! Read more

Very friendly waiter and open/nice outdoor seating environment. Food are most tasty. We ordered Kibbeh, Mishki Kousa, warak... inab mehchi, Bacchus delight, and lahm mechwi. The skrews are all perfect and tender. The rice with it is flavorful. Kibbeh issurprisingly good. Mishi Kousa is similar taste/texture to the filling of warak inab mechi, which is a little overwhelming. Themain dish could use a different flavor side dish to tune it down. Overall happy with this place and will be back again. Read more

This place is amazing! I was visiting from Oklahoma and all I had time to go to was one restaurant. I Googled it and found... Bacchus. I'm so glad I did. My server Timoteo was so nice and helpful. The gentleman from the kitchen also was wonderful. Thefood was fantastic! I was looking for ambiance and flavor. The warm bread and dip was amazing. It had sesame seeds in it witholive oil and I could taste the salt at the bottom which gave it flavor. I ordered the lamb chops which were full of flavor andvery tender. The rice was absolutely perfect. The yogurt with mint added just the right touch to this dish. Then I had theTurkish coffee with baklava. I believe it's made on site and it was well worth getting. The servings were just right and I wasvery full when I left. They wanted me to come back next time I'm in town and I certainly will. If I lived closer I'm sure Iwould be there every week. I'm going to try the grape leaves next. Fabulous! Read more
