Middle Eastern Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Dining at Albi was a special experience. We were lucky enough to book the Hearth table and watched the kitchen interact and prepare the food. The warmth and hospitality of the staff, not just with the diners, but with each other was sincerely heartwarming. Every dish was amazing and there was not a single thing we disliked. My personal favorites were the crab, dates and lamb with cinnamon. This is probably one of my favorite Michelin experiences and Albi deserves all the accolades given to it and more.

Edit to add: they had the best morning after goodie bag of all the Michelin restaurants!“

“An amazing dining experience!“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“Delicious falafel, hearty portions, with lots of options of fixings. Gluten-free option is terrific.“

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).“

“Delicious food, generous portions and FABULOUS & FRIENDLY service.“

“Great Mediterranean food! The chef is the Master!“

“Muncheez catered an event of mine. The food, service, presentation and attention to detail was perfect! MY client from Dubai were very pleased! They where able to set up a pop up shawarma station for 150 guests. Their partnership with Society for the alcohol service is a winning combination. Ali is just GREAT! I will be using them again!“

“Nice Shawarma Tasty food.“

“I tried the kabob platter at Kabul Castle Kabob and it was a great Afghan meal. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, topped with sweet carrots and raisins. The kabobs were tender and nicely grilled, especially the chicken which was juicy and well seasoned. The meal also came with fresh bread, a crispy samosa, chickpeas, sabzi, and a fresh salad, which made the plate feel complete. The portions were generous, the quality was high, and the price was very reasonable for the quantity you get. A very satisfying and authentic Afghan meal.“

“I am a total hummus snob. You can ask my friends. I only eat hummus from restaurants because they seem to be the only ones that can make it right and with the consistency that is smooth and a little thinner. Every store bought hummus I have tried has been a thick paste and it doesn’t even feel like hummus. Until now. I am a total convert and very excited. Consistency is everything in hummus and Little Sesame has figured out how to do it and put it into a container that is sold at a store. Kudos. I love it.“

“Second visit to this location . Quality , value and excellent taste . What more can I say .“

“Love it you will as well.“

“the whole thing - the people - the food - all good“

“My son and I dined here July 4th holiday for my birthday. I was quickly impressed by the enthusiasm of the staff. My compliments to staff and cook as well as the owners.“

“Food is very tasty 😋 both indoor and outdoor seating is good.. love the interior and the portion of the food.“

“Good portion size. it's a convenient concept if you need to eat with a group of friends with different preferences and restrictions. The place was a bit untidy after a seemingly busy day, but that's the only downside. I appreciate the outdoor seating and a spacious, clean bathroom.“

“When you are down in DC please visit great food“

“The Halal Guys at Union Station in DC is always a go-to for me when I’m traveling. No matter the city, I try to find one—and this location delivers exactly what I expect every time.

Fast, efficient, and consistently good. On this visit, Mike took care of me—great energy, quick service, and everything handled seamlessly even with the pace picking up.

Reliable spot, solid food, and a team that knows how to keep things moving without losing the guest experience. I’ll be back.“

“Excellent food and beyond excellent prices🌟“

“Everything here is sooooo delicious. I usually get the veggie platter - I’ve tried all of the sides and my personal favorite is the okra but you really can’t go wrong with any. I don’t even live in DC anymore but whenever I come back I always crave tasty kabob“

“My experience here just makes me want to believe that human beings are kind and the only way we grow is by spreading love and care. The owner and every employee here taught me a big lesson for life - humanity exits and help in whichever way you can! Thank you - loads of blessings coming your way!“

“Great atmosphere, excellent service and strong drinks!!! Our server was awesome!!! I definitely recommend!!!“
