It's not suprise that Shemali's Cafe is a DC go-to when it comes to Middle Easter Fare. There food is fresh and always on point. Their staff is friendly and professional. Highly recommend Shemali's Cafe!
The first INGREDIENT for each and every dish at Shemali's Cafe and Deli is very important and it's what sets it apart from other restaurants in DC and the World . For in every instance, their head Chef, Joe Shemali, his beautiful, generous wife and business partner, Gretta, Elias Shemali and all of his culinary contemporaries place LOVE as the First Ingredient of each menu item. EVERY DAY ALL Day IT IS My GO TO COMFORT FOOD. Whether I chose to have a lighter salad or a full meal,...read full review

Shemalis is a hidden gem of a Lebanese restaurant located in a nondescript two-story building called Foxhall. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious Lebanese dishes, including a selection of Lebanese rolls, prepared salads, gyros wraps, and the popular chicken shawarma platter. The portions are quite large, and the food is described as higher quality than expected, with the falafel being bright green inside due to the fresh herbs. Shemalis is known for its world-class catering, and customers particularly recommend the garlic whip and lentil soup. The restaurant is considered the best deal in DC, with the baba ganoush and taboule being praised as the best the reviewers have ever had. Customers have enjoyed the loaded saucy platter, meat grape leaves, Fattoush salad with chicken, and Kebbe, which are described as some of the best in the DMV area. The catering service has been excellent, with fresh food arriving on time, a variety of dietary options, and professional service that allows customers to enjoy their events worry-free.
