Three Ways to Bowl
Build Your Bowl at Taza
Every bowl starts with your choice of base, gets loaded with a generous portion of protein, and finishes with your pick of our toppings selection. Three proteins, three bases, fourteen toppings. You do the math on the combinations.
Chicken Shawarma Bowl
Spit-roasted chicken shawarma, carved fresh from the spit, piled over your choice of basmati rice or lettuce. Topped with Arabic salad, pickled turnips, garlic sauce, and a drizzle of olive oil. This is the bowl people drive across town for.
Beef Shawarma Bowl
The chicken and beef turn on the vertical spit and are carved off to order, crisp at the edges and tender inside. Sliced thin and served over rice or greens with tahini, pickled vegetables, sumac, and fresh herbs. Rich, savory, and satisfying.
Falafel Bowl
Falafel fried to order made from ground chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, and cumin, fried to order until golden and shatteringly crisp. Served over rice, greens, or hummus with Arabic salad, tahini, and olive oil. A plant-powered meal that never feels like a compromise.
Anatomy of a Great Bowl
What Goes Into a Taza Bowl
Every bowl is assembled in three steps. You pick the foundation, we add the protein, and you finish it off from our toppings selection. The whole thing takes about two minutes and the result is different every time.
Pick Your Base
Basmati Rice
Fluffy, long-grain basmati rice cooked with a touch of aromatic spice. Light enough to let the protein shine, filling enough to carry you through the afternoon.
Lettuce
A bed of fresh lettuce -- crisp romaine, baby spinach, and peppery arugula. The lighter option for anyone counting carbs or just wanting more crunch.
Hummus Base
A thick spread of our hummus as the foundation. Chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic -- it turns the whole bowl into something almost indecently creamy.
Choose Your Protein
Chicken Shawarma
Marinated chicken, roasted on the vertical spit, shaved fresh to order. Every shawarma order is carved straight off the vertical spit, the classic Levantine way.
Beef Shawarma
beef layered on the spit with fat and spice, roasted until the edges crisp and the interior stays tender. Sliced thin. You can watch the crew carve your shawarma off the vertical spit as you order.
Falafel
Ground chickpeas mixed with fresh cilantro, parsley, onion, garlic, and cumin. Formed by hand, fried to order. The outside shatters, the inside stays green and herby. Entirely plant-based.
Pick Your Toppings -- 14 Options, No Upcharge
All toppings are included with every bowl. Load up as much as you want. We refill the bar constantly throughout service.
Not Just Another Bowl Place
Why People Drive Past Five Bowl Chains to Get Here
Genuinely Good for You
Every bowl starts with a real base, a real protein, and real vegetables. No seed oils dumped over iceberg lettuce. No mystery sauces. You get 16-38 grams of protein, healthy fats from tahini and olive oil, and fiber from chickpeas and fresh produce. This is food your body actually wants.
Built Exactly the Way You Want
Pick your base. Pick your protein. Then pick whatever toppings you feel like -- pickled turnips, garlic sauce, black olives, fresh herbs, hummus, hot sauce. Fourteen options, zero upcharge. The bowl you build on Monday does not have to be the bowl you build on Friday.
Filling Without the Crash
A Taza bowl is a complete meal. Not a snack pretending to be lunch. The combination of spit-roasted protein, complex carbs from rice, and healthy fats from tahini and olive oil keeps you full without that 2 PM wall. It is the meal that works as hard as you do.
100% Halal, Always
Every protein in our bowls is halal. No exceptions, no asterisks. For the large Muslim community in Northern Virginia -- and for anyone who cares about how their food is sourced -- that matters. You should not have to ask.
