About Villa Yara

Villa Yara is a Lebanese Restaurant & Garden built on the nostalgic tale of Yara. A fable character inspired by a song chanted by the famous Lebanese singer Fairouz. This old Georgetown home has been restored lovingly to reflect the memories of the 70s. A golden era for Beirut and Lebanon. We designed it to be, like the tale of Yara, elegant, funky, and feminine. Likewise, our love for the Lebanese food experience drove us to create and share a menu that is true to our home cuisine.

Flavorful Mediterranean food with a unique atmosphere and decor in the Georgetown area. Though a bit on the pricier side, the experience was well worth it. The dishes were tasty!

5/5 Experience! I recently enjoyed a spectacular lunch at this charming spot, and it deserves every bit of a 5-star rating. The ambiance was picturesque—dining under the shade of vibrant purple and yellow umbrellas, surrounded by greenery and a tranquil fountain, made the atmosphere feel like a peaceful escape. The outdoor patio was beautifully arranged, and the service was attentive yet unobtrusive. The Food: The dishes were as visually stunning as they were delicious. The grilled fish, perfectly seasoned with herbs and spices, melted in my mouth, and the side of broccolini was crisp and fresh, adding the perfect complement to the meal. Paired with roasted potatoes and a squeeze of lemon, the flavors were well-balanced and simply divine. The appetizer—a plate of rich, roasted red pepper dip with walnuts and a salad topped with crunchy fried pita—was a delightful start. The textures and flavors were vibrant, leaving me wanting more with each bite. Overall, the experience was beyond enjoyable, with a beautiful presentation of dishes and a relaxing setting that felt like a hidden gem. Highly recommended for anyone looking for both quality food and a picturesque dining atmosphere.

Wonderful atmosphere, Mediterranean meets shabby chic. It was very relaxing and our server was beautiful and sweet. The food was very healthy and unique with excellent ingredients. The tabbouleh was excellent and kabobs wonderful. The dessert very tasty but the service and dishes were so beautiful and unique. We were visiting and wish we had a restaurant like this in Houston.

I had the best birthday dinner in the private VIP room! Mony made sure everything was seamless, and Amir took such good care of us - super attentive and just great energy all around. The service was next-level, and everyone made us feel so welcomed. The space itself is so stunning and every dish came out perfectly and tasted amazing. It was the perfect spot for a birthday dinner and I’m already looking forward to reserving the VIP room again for another occasion. 10/10 recommend!!

Villa Yara is a beautiful spot with a fantastic atmosphere! I recently visited with a large party, and they were incredibly accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of—they were attentive, friendly, and truly superb. While the food was decent, it wasn’t particularly noteworthy, especially considering the high price point. That being said, the overall experience was still enjoyable because of the ambiance and exceptional service. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes and top-notch hospitality, Villa Yara is definitely worth a visit!

The portions are pretty good and filling. We went based off IG recommendations and were very skeptical. The restaurant delivered! The food is fresh and tastes great and is very tasty! The restaurant is very cute and the atmosphere is nice. The staff is friendly and helpful and polite. We had such a lovely waitress :)
