Lucy W.November 19, 2012Lentil soup is fantastic. Authentic, flavorful & filling. Shawafel sandwich is well prepared, wrapped tightly & fresh. Ask for extra sauce for dipping. 1/2 sandwich is plenty if you order soup too.
Sarah AburdeinehFebruary 6, 2013Everything is great. I trek across town to eat here - best schawarma I'm the city. I like the chicken shawarma, cauliflower sandwich, and the schawafel. try the yogurt drink... I LOVE it
cauliflower sandwich? delicious. falafel? no more dry chickpea fritters, just flavorful deliciousness. chicken shwarma? yes please. and ask for hot sauce! (careful if you like the milder side of hot.)- Lucy W.December 13, 2012Tried to meat shawarma tonight. Very good. Needed a little extra sauce. Baklava is absolutely delicious. Best i have had in a while. Top 5 favorite joint on Hst.
Douglas TerryDecember 16, 2012Great food! Next time I go (&I will go again) I hope there is no little girl coughing like she has Ebola AND when there is no fire alarm at the church next door. GREAT FOOD!
Rita LassiterMay 31, 2014The chicken shawarma is deeLISH ! How genius was it to include French fries ON the sandwich :-). A must have.
MDecember 28, 2012One of the best Lebanese restaurants. Owner is very friendly and will remember you if you eat regularly
French fry sandwich is TOO delicious - the staff is so friendly and fun too!
Christina ZurlaSeptember 10, 2011You can't go wrong here. Everything tastes authentic. Try the french fry sandwich and babaghanoush.- The French Fries sandwich is a disturbingly good vegetarian friendly option.
Get your sandwich "Dr. Matthews Style" if you like it spicy and juicy.
Oliver GriswoldOctober 8, 2011Scoutmob has a 50% off deal here (up to $10) through March '12. Food is awesome.- Just voted best wrap in the city by Washingtonian!
