Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Seray offers an "amazing" Lebanese dining experience with expertly prepared dishes in a beautifully decorated space. Guests rave about the "outstanding" service and welcoming ambiance. The Branzino and lamb dishes are highlights. While the restaurant can be bustling, especially on weekends, it remains a "must-try" in Vienna.

    My entre arrived as I was half way through an excellent blue cheese salad -- timing is important for a top quality restaurant. This needs work. Biggest problem was the limited entree menu. I spoke to the owner and he said that would be improved after New Years.

    After talking about doing so for several weeks, my friend and I finally tried Seray and were not disappointed! The space is beautiful and comfortable, our server was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. We opted to share a few appetizers instead of having entrees and enjoyed them all -- hummus, labneh, cheese rolls, meat pie and chicken schwarma sliders. The very friendly owner stopped by our table and we had a nice chat with him. A great experience and we'll be back!

    Overall such a wonderful experience. The decor is both beautiful and festive for the season. My husband and I shared the Feta salad and 3 appetizers, all of which were delicious. We were offered complimentary dessert of bread pudding which really ended the meal on a high note. Service was excellent. What a nice surprise to have such a lovely new restaurant among a row of fast food places!

    Food was very good. A computer glitch delayed our order though the waiter was very nice about it.The music was much too loud with an annoying techno beat and seemed inconsistent w the level of sophistication of the decor and the food.

    I’m Lebanese so I’ve been around Lebanese restaurants, both in Lebanon and the DMV area. I found Seray to be a very disappointing experience. Unrepresentative of Lebanese cuisine in every aspect: taste, generosity and ambiance. The place is generically decorated, could’ve been a fancy McDonalds for all I know. We were 4 people. We ordered 9 plates. I was shocked by how small the portions were. We had to order 3 more plates and then 2 desserts for it to be good for all of us. Food quality wise, some of the worst Lebanese I’ve had in the DMV. The rkakat jebneh are mozarella sticks. The batata harra is random fried potatoes with a sauce on the side. The makanek had literally 5 pieces in the plate and no pomegranate molasses (even though the waiter confirmed it had it when I asked). The fattoush looked like it was leftovers from another table’s order. And don’t even get me started on the halewit jebneh and knafeh. We each got exactly 1 bite, for 15$ the plate. And all of it, as unauthentic as it gets. Cherry on top, the owner or manager came to ask for my opinion. I was like if I’m honest there’s work to be done on the quality. He brushed it off and blamed it on the ingredients and their availability in the US. No one wants to support Lebanese businesses as much as I do, but this one feels like an expensive unethical American trap. Many better options in DC and VA.
