Customer experience is horrendous. Their food is not bad. On a positive note they have good variety of Mediterranean food products but all of that is trumped by their significantly subpar customer service.

What an incredible hidden gem, seriously! It is located in a two story nondescript building called Foxhall. When we went, On a Saturday, there was free parking in a deck. I actually thought Google had made a mistake!Our family of 5 had very different orders. One got a selection of the delicious Lebanese rolls, the other some prepared salads. Two got gyros wraps. I had the chicken shawarma platter, and paid 2 dollars more to get baba gannouj and hummus sides rather than the sides on the menu.Verdict: everyone thought their meal was delicious! The platter portion was quite large. I bet two people with smaller appetites could share.There were a few tables outside for seating, maybe for 10 or so people.

Mr Chemali used to be the chef at the Lebanese embassy. Their catering is world-class, and their food is delicious. It is higher quality than what people expect, which means people can be surprised by the flavor. For instance, their falafel is bright green inside, due to all the fresh herbs. Shemalis may be the best deal in DC. We used them to cater our wedding. I especially recommend their garlic whip and lentil soup.
This caught me by surprise. I was not expecting to have the best baba ganoush and taboule I’ve ever had in my life. Like spot on flavor! I grew up on this stuff and they make it perfectly!
It’s like getting food from Walmart but less clean and worst taste.Don’t waste your time or money.

I have been a customer of this establishment for many years however last Saturday at 4:45 I was treated with such roughness insults and been called names by the young woman alone in the store at the time that I may never return. How can any one this uncouth be employed in the service industry it is an outrage and truly shameful for a store that has earned a good reputation for years. It is appalling ?

DO NOT BUY/ ORDER FROM HERE!!Got the most horrible food poisoning, alongside 2 others after eating here from Uber Eats. Disgusting. 0/5 and warning others to never buy from here.Reporting this resturant to the local health department.How dare this resturant try to make profit before the holidays by selling contaminated old food.
