This review is for the bar, lounge and nightclub services of Phoenicia. The food that I saw looked fine. We met friends for a birthday celebration. Even though it was very full, we were able to find parking in their lot. We entered easily and were impressed by the (packed but) ample seating and beautiful chandelier. We were able to find seats right away. The ambience was lively with colored lights rotating and recorded music playing. Our server was good and let us know that there would be a belly dance show. That was an understatement! Kristi the belly dancer was amazing because of her muscle control, dance moves, and the fun she created by interacting with many members of the audience. After Kristi got the party started, the band came onstage. They played hit after hit and the dance pandemonium was infectious! The whole place was on its feet dancing in unison! I haven't partied that hard or that late into the night in years! I don't know whether it's like that every weekend, but Phoenicia showed a friendly, culture-filled, dance-'till-you-sweat good time to everyone in attendance during my visit. I recommend and will go back after I recover... : D

Our experience at Phoenicia was excellent from the phone call leading us to the restaurant and all the way up to leaving the restaurant. This establishment popped up during an Iftar buffet search and when I called in, the hostess was kind enough to read out their entire menu and was so sweet and patient. When we arrived to the restaurant I was shocked by how huge the buffet actually was and at that point was also very thankful that she took the time to explain it all to us over the phone. The location is excellent! Ample parking and holy wow the interior is beautiful! There are multiple floors and more than enough seating for small and large groups. There's a stage in the center for weekend performances, a separate area upstairs for adult beverages and their hookahs are the perfect size and can sit on your table if you'd like. This place is an absolute vibe! You're probably thinking "why give it 4 stars then." I'm giving it a 4 star today based on my experience with their buffet which was hands down one of the best Iftar buffets I've ever been to in the DMV. More than enough items on the menu, water, tea and juices are included. Multiple appetizers and main dishes! It's truly incredible. As soon as you're seated the staff bring out water and dates to the table. When I tell you the staff was working the room, I truly mean it. I picked up my plate to move it and before I could put it to the side it was out of my hands. The entire team was working together to ensure the tables were clear for the customers and the best part was their smiling faces! The price per person is extremely fair for the quantity and quality of food and I can't wait to go back after Ramadan to try out their full menu. I can already tell it's going to be a great experience! Major props to this establishment for hiring an amazing group of servers/chefs.

I had a great experience. My food was super flavorful! I can't recall the names of what we ordered but we had two appetizers, one was feta cheese with tomatoes and scallions the other was lamb with yogurt sauce and chickpeas both were very delicious. We had the lamb chops and the kebab and we both loved it. Overall yum yum!!! The service was great we were served with a smile she had great attitude. I didn't catch our waitresses name. The ambiance was also super cool and they have live singers two to three nights a week. Overall I truly enjoyed the experience.

We've only ever gotten delivery from here so I can't speak to their dining experience, but food-wise this may be the best Middle Eastern place in the area. I love tabouleh and have since I was a kid. It's my favorite food, so I'm always on the lookout. Currently, this holds the top spot for Best Tabbouleh in the DMV as awarded by me, a very coveted title. Hummus is fresh and my wife often orders two at a time. I like the Hummus with meat, and will usually pair that with an order of tabbouleh and sometimes another side as my meal. My only issue is they often forget to include pita, even when we order 3+ hummus and 1-2 tabbouleh, all of which, in my mind, should be a given in terms of pita coming with the meal. Now I always write a reminder in the notes, and they've been consistent. Will I go try this place in person? Probably not, since I'm not a huge hookah fan. But we will continue to order hummus and tabbouleh from here at an obnoxious rate.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tone at Phoenicia. It is a large venue, and later in the evenings, there is live music. It was nice to smoke some Shisha and relax without feeling bad for hogging the table. I ordered a few items: chicken shawarma, French fries, and tabouleh. The pita bread here is fantastic. Warm, freshly baked, and absolutely delicious. Be advised that there is about an 18% gratuity charge added for dine-in customers. I hadn't been paying enough attention, so our server ended up with almost a 50% tip. I hope it brightened her day.
