Mediterranean • $$
“How does this place not have higher reviews?! I got the falafel and eggplant sandwich but as a tortilla wrap, with the fries on the side. It came with this delicious sauce that I think was tamarind. The dolmas were also great, real fresh and warm dolmas not the canned kind that some places sell and upcharge the heck out of. They even gave us some tasty soup while we were waiting for our order to get made. Overall great food for the price point, take out held up very well on the drive home, and better quality than any other Mediterranean spot in this area.“
“This is my second time going there I got myself lamb&beef shawarma also spicy chicken shawarma with the sauce that gives a little kick to it sheeeeeeesh & let me tell you this, it was fresh well seasoned, amazing full of flavors, healthy & delicious. This is by far the best shawarma I had Mashallah.“
“The tradition of finding some of the best food in the most unassuming places could not be more true of Ishtar. This was our first time here and even though we're dans of a hole in the wall, even we were suspicious. But it was a slam dunk. The owner was awesome, service was friendly and familiar, and we learned they have been open for 10 years, surviving COVID. Could not recommend this place more.We got the chicken tikka and the lamb gyro, both were excellent. When you're craving a gyro, come here.“
“This is probably one of the better Indian food places I've been to in Washington. They're a very friendly and helpful staff. The clerk there knew I was trying them for the first time and even threw in a delicious dessert for free that was also AMAZING and had he not given it to me I may have never thought to try it. I'm actually going back there today to pick up some more because I can't get enough now lol“
