What Makes Us Different
Why Vienna Chooses Taza for Mediterranean Food
Mediterranean food covers a broad territory -- Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Moroccan, and more. At Taza, we focus on the Levantine tradition. That means shawarma carved off the vertical spit, falafel made from chickpeas and fresh herbs and fried to order, creamy tahini-based sauces, and flatbreads baked in the oven. The flavors are bold but balanced. The ingredients are simple and familiar.
Vienna has a strong food scene, with plenty of chains and fast-casual spots. Taza is a counter-service Levantine kitchen instead. The shawarma is carved off the spit as you order. The falafel goes into the fryer when you order it. In store you tell the counter which of the 14 free toppings you want, and the crew builds it. Taza means fresh in Arabic, and that is the idea behind the whole menu.
Whether you are grabbing a quick chicken shawarma pita on your lunch break, ordering a family-sized platter for a weekend gathering in Vienna, or picking up bowls for a Tysons office meeting, you get the same level of freshness and care every single time.
Authentic Vertical-Spit Shawarma
Vienna has plenty of quick-serve chains. What it does not always have nearby is chicken and beef roasted on a traditional vertical spit and carved fresh for every order. That is exactly what Taza does, 12 minutes away.
100% Halal, Always
Every cut of meat at Taza is 100% halal. For the growing halal-conscious community in Vienna and Tysons, that means zero guesswork. You can eat with full confidence every time you visit.
Fried to Order, Baked in the Oven
The falafel is fried to order. The shawarma is carved off the vertical spit when you order. Manaeesh, pita, and pies come out of the oven warm. Taza means fresh in Arabic, and the kitchen is built around that idea.
12 Minutes from Vienna Town Green
Take Maple Avenue east to Route 29 and you are at our door in about 12 minutes. Heading from Tysons Corner? It is even shorter via Route 7 to Seminary Road. A quick trip for a meal that is worth every minute.
14 Free Toppings, Your Way
In store, tell the counter which of the 14 free toppings you want -- turnips, tahini, garlic mayo, fresh mint, olives, and more -- and the crew builds your shawarma, bowl, or wrap. Ordering online? Pick up to 6 of 11.
Rated 4.8 on Yelp
Do not take our word for it. Taza holds a 4.8 on Yelp (92 reviews), a 4.4 on Google, and a 4.4 on Restaurantji (260 ratings). Read them before the drive from Vienna and decide for yourself.
