Amazing food!!! I got the loaded saucy platter over a garden salad and seasoned fries, with beef and chicken, white sauce and their house made zesty vinaigrette. I also tried their meat grape leaves and those were amazing too

We were very happy with their catering service, which we used for a party of 30 people at a rented venue. All food arrived fresh right on time, the food was excellent and there were plenty of vegetarian, no gluten, no dairy options to meet variety of food restrictions. Many guests asked where the food came from. Wait services were also excellent, their smooth communication, efficient services and professional attitudes allowed us to enjoy the party without worrying anything about the logistics. Highly recommended.

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.

After some delivery missteps, Shemalis did everything to right the situation cheerfully and fairly.

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!
