If you have a diet that’s different than the average American’s, then you know the struggle of finding a dining destination with stellar food that both you and your friends can enjoy. Whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, it can be frustrating to find a place that respects your dietary needs enough to create dishes that are divine. However, Lebanese cuisine lays heavy emphasis upon a few spices like garlic and parsley, and there’s also a focus on veggie-based dishes. Taza in Cleveland has some of the yummiest Lebanese food around — and they have something that the whole family can enjoy.
Keep your eyes peeled for the big "T" on West 6th Street. Here, you'll find Taza - A Lebanese Grill.
Its upscale environment blends beautifully with the vibrant culture of Downtown Cleveland. It's rich and elegant while still feeling fun and artsy... just like the city hiding right outside of its doors.

Their menu features all sorts of shareables like hummus and tabouli, but the entrees are really where it's at.
The Taza menu features traditional Lebanese dishes, but you'll also find more familiar treats on the kid's menu. Kids can indulge in grilled cheese pitas, chicken tenders, and even shish kabobs.

Rolled pitas, shwarma, kabobs, and more await hungry diners and promise delicious flavors.
And the smell while you wait for your food... divine! Your mouth will be watering as soon as you arrive. Consider grabbing a glass of wine or martini while you wait -- they have specials on drinks each week that you won't want to pass up.
And, of course, ending the meal with a bit of dessert ensures a spectacular finish to your dining experience.
Baklava, in particular, is a fan favorite, although the smoothies are also a hit with diners. Wait -- you've never had baklava?! It's a crispy, flaky, nutty treat that was once one of the most popular desserts in the Ottoman Empire.
Look for its sister location at 28601 Chagrin Blvd, Woodmere, OH 44122.
From an imported Lebanese stone oven to fine details throughout the restaurant, you'll feel like you're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Cleveland's streets.
Bring some sunscreen on hot summer days! In this part of Cleveland, you're close enough to the Lake that the weather sometimes feels more intense.

Also in Taza's family of brands are Aladdin's Eatery and Sittoo's Pita & Salads, and each one has a slightly different atmosphere. However, all are known for quality.
Aladdin's has expanded to a handful of other states and is doubtlessly the most recognizable of these brands, but all are noteworthy in their own way. Sittoo's is known for its Chef Specials, plus its locations in high-traffic areas like University Circle and Playhouse Square.
After just one visit to Taza, you'll find love at first bite.
