Middle Eastern Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“5 stars isn’t enough for this level of handsomeness the guy who works there his name’s Sharam or something like that he was awesome. He was very professional, and helpful. Great customer service and so gentle .The definition of fine 😁“

“The spice blends here do not play around. The Jerk Chicken platter is an absolute standout—juicy, smoky, and packed with serious heat that meshes surprisingly well with classic Mediterranean white and red sauces. Even the simple yellow basmati rice is loaded with flavor.
Portions are Enormous. The platters come heaped with rice, a massive pile of protein, and a crisp Mediterranean salad blend. Order a side of warm pita, and you easily have two full meals packed into one tray.
Lightning-fast output whether you're grabbing a late-night bite or ordering takeout delivery. The food stays burning hot in the container, and the sauces come generously on the side so nothing gets soggy.
Straightforward, high-turnover casual spot. It’s clean and efficient, but heavily geared toward quick pick-ups and delivery rather than an extended sit-down experience.

A total hidden gem in Alexandria. Get the Mixed Chicken & Lamb or the Jerk Chicken Platter, ask for extra white sauce, and try the avocado fries if you want a killer side.“

“The best hummus ever. You can also buy it locally at Whole Foods and Safeway. Wide menu of salads, spits sandwiches, soups (!), and pizza. Outdoor seating but makes great picnic or carry-out. I especially love the turkey Veggie Hummus pita sandwich. It’s so good!“

“The food is amazing! The Pita House is one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town! I have never been disappointed.“

“Dining at shababi was an absolute delight. I came to celebrate after I finished taking my board exams and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. To start they brought some hummus topped with shredded beef and beat spread, which the former was my favorite. They later brought the roasted chicken which had been marinated for 48 hours plus. Every bite was so flavorful. As this is a pop up I recommend you go soon and get a feel for Palestinian food“
