The Block Oven (Arlington)

Great location! Great food! Great customer service! This location has its own parking lot. Surrounded by many shops. Also they do have a hooks or sheesha lounge! Excellent job

You will love it if you are into hookah To me, it was too dark. The smell of hookah was overpowering the place. The cleanliness level was not the best. Don't expect a great service. The food was ok. It's not good or bad. Parking is available. I wouldn't go back to be honest.

The Block Oven A Taste of the Mediterranean offers a delightful escape with its vibrant, authentic cuisine. The Baba Ghanouj, Arnabeet and the Manaeesh Zaatar Labneh are standout appetizers, while the kofta grill and The Chicken Shawarma Sandwiches as main courses. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service make it an excellent choice for both casual and special occasions. Highly recommended for a genuine Mediterranean experience. I wanna thank Helmy for making it a great experience for us.

Stopped by Tarbouch for a quick lunch after a client meeting in Arlington. Didn't realize it is also a hookah bar, but we sat on the non smoking side of the restaurant. Service was excellent, as was my chicken shawarma with a side salad. Delicious! The shawarma seemed authentic to me, though I'm not an expert. The food seems to be a blend of Middle Eastern with a Greek influence. My business associate ordered a pepperoni pizza, which had a very thin crust and was just so-so. They also have burgers and other "American" style offerings, but I recommend sticking with the Middle Eastern specialties. The giant modernized picture of Salvador Dali on the dining room wall was a good conversation piece too. I'd definitely return.

Is this something you’d be willing to eat? Old chicken served, tastes funny. Whatever is in the plate was in the sandwich btw. If I get the FDA this place will be closed by today. Zero stars.
