The Gourmet Basket

Always the best Lebanese catering and deli items! The best in DC metro area.
I drive from Baltimore to shop here— so worth it!

Been buying food and ordering for the past 20 years and Nabila the owner, has been amazingly consistent and superb with the food and the products. Since moving to Florida in 2017 I make it a point to stop in whenever I visit Virginia as it is the best Lebanese food ever. The spinash pies, meat pies, cheese pies etc...are still the best tasting. One thing that I find truly great: Nabila's tact and patience with some of the clientele is unparalleled. I think if I were the owner, some of the clientele would...well, let's keep it positive. Thank you Nabila, much love and respect to you.😘

I have always had good experiences here, the prepared food is always so delicious and fresh. I'm partial to the stuffed zucchini which my mom brings home to heat up on a regular basis. I'm not sure why this location has been targeted for hatred by one group of reviewers (who all use the same language 🤣), this deli/grocery is part of my favorite food shopping destinations when I come to McLean.

My favorite place to get homemade Lebanese food! It tastes like my mom made it. I love that there are also Lebanese packaged goods to buy. Highly recommend letting Nabila cater your next event! It will impress your guests!

Very authentic and absolutely delicious food. The Harra Bi Isbaou took me back to beautiful times as a child in Damascus and the lahmabajin reduced me to tears because precious memories flooded back, absolutely delicious. Incredible food, me and my family will be coming back to stock up so I can enjoy authentic Syrian food while I live here.

My best source for Middle Eastern groceries, beans, breads and condiments---excellent Ajzar!
I went today for the best Kalamata olives and for Bulgarian sheep's milk feta cheese

The most delicious kibbeh and meat pies.
Bought 10 dozen for my last part, and it was gone in an Instant.

This place is outstanding. Their food is made from scratch on site. Their food is delicious. Baba Ganooj is amazing. Works well for a carry out lunch and for catering. They are clearly trusted in the community as they often have orders leaving when I visit.

Their are ingredients and food items I can’t find easily, and they always stock them. Bulgar (different sized), red pepper spread, watermelon seeds, zataar (different brands), jams and honeys.

Truly one of the most, if not the most, authentic Lebanese cuisine. It is a superior gourmet food even when compared to the best Lebanese restaurants in Beirut.

Great place to get Lebanese ingredients and food like my grandma used to make. Their flatbread is great, and I haven't been able to find anything similar in the area.

I attended a small party ,and they had Kobah ordered from there..It was perfectly shaped and the taste was amazing ,since my Mum is syrian, and I really know how real Kobah should taste..I would highly recommend this restaurant

A wide variety of packaged, frozen, and store-made Middle Eastern foods. Never crowded, friendly service, helpful staff.

Great catering for recent event. Best dishes were the kibbeh in yogurt (Kibbeh Lebanea) and stuffed onions. Reliable and tasty.

One of the most delicious pastries you’ll ever eat especially the Keba 👍🏼

So unique! Love the "chicken soup", it's so unexpected and comforting

Very sweet ladies, especially Madam Zulfa and Madam Nabeelah

Spices, meat and bread best source.
