Taverna is my favorite restaurant in Kabul. Great food. Great atmosphere. They always provide a free appetizer and something nice for dessert, so plan for that when you order your meal. Security is good and the place is very clean. More

If just based on the food this is a wonderful restaurant. Fairly quick service and food with a rich, rich taste. I especially recommend the Fattoush Salad with its defining taste of sumac and pomegranate molasses — a sweet-sour syrup that you can find back home in Middle Eastern markets. All the meat dishes are great. Add to this that... More

This food was every bit as tasty as the Lebanese food I tasted in Beirut. I tried very hard to encourage the owner to set up in Tajikistan where we sadly do not have such good quality. Service was quick and impeccable and complementary salads and chocolate cake certainly add to the positive experience. More

I visited Taverna during a business trip to Kabul last month...i was surprised to find a lebanese restuarant there and even more surprised with the quality and taste of food. It felt like i was in Beirut again, with personalized service by the free cakes and entrees and friendly welcoming. Being a Lebanese, and knowing our cuisine this place does... More

The Lebanese restaurant (a long-standing expat haunt in WAK) is absolutely fine. The formula is a bit tired; same old menu, same "on the house" starters and chocolate cake. However, this is Kabul and you have to take what you can get, even when the wine comes in a teapot and is served in a teacup. Don't expect anything amazing... More

Kabul, especially at night is not easy to get around. The darkness the razor wire and the ditches all hinder progress. The answer is to find the taverna du liban. This is not far from the other lebanese restaurant in Kabul but much the best. Security is good and there is a feeling of security. The bread is the best... More
