"Noosh brings Georgetown a two-part menu filled with Persian favorites on one side and Mediterranean staples on the other. Noosh quietly opened this month with takeout to start, and sit-down service entered the fold on Friday, November 19. Noosh is the more refined counterpart to 280 Eatery, its fast-casual sister next door. At Noosh, chef Tarek Diab showcases his Persian background with marinated meat and seafood kabobs served over saffron basmati rice, stews like fesenjoon and ghormeh sabzi, and Persian ice cream for dessert. On the Mediterranean front, dishes include chicken tagine, falafel, lamb and curry, and lamb shank stewed in saffron. Appetizers include spanakopita, hummus, Greek lentil soup, and tabbouleh. Noosh aims to respect and celebrate both cuisines by serving comforting dishes. The restaurant plans to open for lunch and dinner on specific days and accepts reservations by phone and online." - Tierney Plumb
