Bashir's Taverna - Charlottesville

"We enjoyed a delicious meal of freshly prepared Mediterranean dishes at this restaurant. We tried the Couscous tagine and the duck ham, both of which were excellent. Our meal started with a tasty sampling plate of appetizers. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were authentic."

I would rate this restaurant as a 3.5 out of 5. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary. The prices were on the higher side for the portion sizes and amount of meat in the duck dishes. Overall, I'm happy I gave this place a try.

We were really looking forward to trying this small, distinctive restaurant with a Middle Eastern menu. Unfortunately, the flavors were a bit confused and lacked the standout taste we were hoping for. The apricot ham was a standout dish.

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for lunch. I haven't had the chance to try it for dinner yet. They offer the option to have a turkey or ham cooked for you during Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you can also order catering for other special events.

This restaurant will restore your faith in food. I enjoyed a delicious falafel platter and listened to live music while dining. The atmosphere is very comfortable, thanks to the lighting. The service was exceptional - my server was very friendly. In my opinion, this is the best spot for Mediterranean cuisine in Charlottesville.
