"Steamed Buffalo Fish With Braised Pomelo Peel ($20); Homestyle Seafood Stir-Fry ($22); Braised Pork Belly With Mui-Choy ($19); Crispy Garlic Chicken ($16). The Dubbaneh family started selling manoushe, a type of Palestinian flatbread, from a stall at Washington, DC’s Foggy Bottom farmers market back in 2016 and quickly gained a loyal following. Six years later, their products are available in 14 mid-Atlantic Whole Foods locations, and they finally have a permanent home base bakery located, fittingly, in the same Rockville, MD, strip mall restaurant space where their grandfather once ran a fried chicken shop. Here the manoushe emerge puffed and blistered from the saaj, a traditional convex metal griddle, and come with toppings that range from the expected to the inventive. If you have a hard time deciding, go ahead and overorder; you’ll be thankful for leftovers later." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
