The Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"A quick meal that's also healthy-ish isn’t the easiest thing to find. That’s why we love Shouk, a serious takeout and delivery spot with some casual tables as well, and an entirely plant-based menu. Even if you prefer beef patties to veggie burgers, you likely won’t even realize you’re eating a lighter replacement if you order the burger served with plenty of tahini and charred onions. Shouk’s spicy fries and choc-cardamom cookies are worth leaving your house for, but the fact that they can be delivered to your door renders them necessary add-ons to your meatless burger or oyster mushroom shawarma bowl." - madeline weinfield
