Your Guide to Middle Eastern Food in Falls Church, VA
Falls Church, Virginia, is home to a diverse and vibrant food scene, and Middle Eastern cuisine is one of its brightest stars. At Taza Shawarma & Falafel on Seminary Road, we bring the authentic flavors of the Levant to Northern Virginia -- from the smoky, caramelized notes of our slow-roasted shawarma to the bright, herbaceous crunch of our freshly fried falafel.
Middle Eastern food is defined by its use of fresh, wholesome ingredients -- chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, za'atar, sumac, cumin, and fresh herbs like parsley and mint. These ingredients form the foundation of dishes that are not only deeply flavorful but also naturally healthy. The Mediterranean diet, which shares many of the same staples, is consistently ranked among the healthiest diets in the world.
At Taza, we prepare every dish from scratch. Our shawarma is marinated overnight in a proprietary spice blend, stacked on a vertical spit, and slow-roasted for hours. Our falafel is made from freshly ground chickpeas -- never from a powder or mix. Our hummus is blended smooth with quality tahini, fresh lemon, and garlic. Our manaeesh flatbreads are baked to order in our stone oven. This commitment to freshness is what "Taza" means -- fresh.
Whether you are craving a quick lunch, a family dinner, or catering for your next office event or celebration, Taza offers authentic Middle Eastern food at prices that won't break the bank. Our self-serve toppings bar lets you customize every meal with 14 fresh toppings including pickled turnips, olives, fresh herbs, and our signature sauces.
