Phoenician Taverna

Was in town for business and found this great Lebanese spot. Had the trio dip, spicy sausage (sujok) and the lamb beef shawarma. Portions were great. Food had awesome taste. Would recommend if looking for a takeout joint or dine-in Lebanese place.

We stopped here randomly after seeing a movie. We were not prepared for this place. The atmosphere and service were excellent. The food was something else altogether, incredible. We weren't super hungry after eating a giant tub of popcorn, so we had the Mezza platter... it was unbelievable. I ended up ordering an entree to go so I could eat it when my appetite came back.... glad I did. Amazing. This place is 25 minutes away from where I live, but I will be going back as soon as possible.

My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary by having dinner at Phoenician Taverna. We have dined there about two other times after a coworker recommended the location. Gary was an attentive server. The owner walked around and interacted with staff and guests. Great food, service, and atmosphere. I highly recommend the sampler appetizer, delicious with the bread. The rice, sides, and meat were perfectly cooked in our chicken and beef entrees. I love the garlic whip sauce and ordered some on the side as it wasn’t listed as included on the entree I chose. We had Baklava and Bread Pudding for dessert. I’m ready to go back again!

If you do not eat here while you are in Cincinnati, you are missing out. I’ve not been to a restaurant in a strip mall in a very long time and I was a little skeptical. I must admit. However, once I was inside and set with my party of 6, I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is extensive, but not overwhelming. All of the vegetarian mezzes samples were incredible. We ordered extra falafel, amazing halloumi rolled in pastry and fried, cauliflower and the lentils. The waiter was efficient friendly knew the menu very well and was good at advising how much to order. Everyone also enjoyed a main dish and each one of them were spectacular. I personally enjoyed the lamb shank and enjoyed it again the next day for lunch. The portions are generous and meant to share.
