5 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Washington

“This is the best Arabic food and the cleanest place I have had in ten states ! It is important to note that this is something between a restaurant and a deli ! You will order at the counter and eat in disposable cutlery but I have no complaints whatsoever ! We finished lunch and took our dinner home with us ! It was that good. You first choose between a wrap , a salad , or a platter , choose the protein you want , then choose the sides. The shawarma and the falafel were so so yummy! The eggplant Moutabbal (aka baba Gannouj was beyond yummy ). Tastes like home
Made food for real ! The lady at the cashier was super nice - the rest of the staff were grumpy. Read the menu and really try it . We cannot wait to go back although it is a two hour drive for us ! We sealed our meal with date and pistachio maamul ! Super yum ! I wish we were offered coffee or tea with that .“

“First time dining experience at Cedars Mediterranean Restaurant and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Lamb chops and Kabobs , Salad, Grape leaves ,Falafel, Humus, Lebanese Rice, Baklava and the best Rice pudding! A lot of food but we shared as there were 4 in our party. We all agreed that we would be back and try some of the other flavorful entrees they offer. The waitress, I assumed is co-owner, was very pleasant and helpful and willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Not a fancy place but the food more than makes up for it. A must try!“

“The SoringHouse just catered a big combined party for my husband’s retirement and my son’s graduation. The food was amazing, and the servers were all so kind and helpful! I highly recommend the SpringHouse for your next event, you won’t be sorry 😊“

“The restaurant’s story:

The restaurant’s story: Fady Chamoun arrived in the US from Lebanon in 1972 with a dream of opening a restaurant featuring healthy Lebanese fare. In 1994 Fady and his wife Sally opened the first Aladdin’s Eatery in Lakewood, Ohio. Inspired by the belief that “food is a philosophy,” Fady made educating his guests about the restaurant’s unique cuisine his foremost passion. So Aladdin’s began with perfecting the basics like hummus, falafel, and shish kabob, and introducing new items with a focus on healthier Lebanese foods. The restaurant’s popularity took hold; soon the second Aladdin’s Eatery opened in Cleveland Heights.

Over the past three decades, Aladdin’s Eatery has grown to include more than 30 locations providing healthy Lebanese-American cuisine to guests in four states. Our menu continues to evolve in order to cater to our guests’ increasing awareness of health and nutrition.“
