Our Story
A family story, told through food, at one of the restaurants in the Mosaic District that guests come back to.
NAJA Mediterranean is the debut restaurant from Tariq Alaeddin, named in honor of his grandmother and inspired by the dishes he grew up watching her cook during his childhood in Lebanon. Located in the heart of the Mosaic District in Fairfax, Virginia, the restaurant reflects his childhood spent between Lebanon and the United States and celebrates the flavors, traditions, and hospitality that bridge cultures.
The menu features traditional Lebanese cuisine alongside Mediterranean-inspired dishes influenced by the diverse culinary fabric of the region. Drawing from family recipes and regional favorites, each dish reflects a deep respect for heritage while embracing a modern approach to dining.
NAJA's beverage program reimagines classic cocktails through a Mediterranean lens, incorporating ingredients from across the Levant and Mediterranean. The cocktail program is complemented by a thoughtfully-curated wine and beer list featuring small Lebanese producers alongside local selections.
Whether joining us for dinner, brunch, cocktails, or a special occasion, NAJA Mediterranean offers a warm, welcoming dining experience where every meal tells a story of family, culture, and connection.
