Polished spot with modern decor offering all-day Mediterranean plates like hummus, shawarma & mezze.
"Owner Ziad Maalouf brought this Middle Eastern cafe to D.C. from Baltimore. Zippy dishes full of lemon and sumac include fattoush salad and Israeli couscous grain bowls full of chopped salad, hummus, and falafel or shawarma. For a heartier meal, go with panini filled with Moroccan chicken or short rib and Swiss, then throw in an order of za’atar and black pepper fries. There’s patio seating, or customers can place takeout and delivery orders here. — G.H." - Missy Frederick, Tierney Plumb
