"Georgetown students know this place has been around since the early 1980s and stays open until 2 a.m weeknights, till 3 a.m. on Thursdays, and till 4 a.m. on Fridays with options like shawarma and cheesesteaks." - Missy Frederick
"George’s sells some of the best shawarma in DC, which explains why there’s always a line to the door. The entire Muslim diaspora, from Bahrain to Comoros, is at this Georgetown restaurant. Thankfully, the service is fast and the spot is larger than it looks. There’s a downstairs counter where food is served and an upstairs seating area if you’re too impatient to take your food to go. The lamb and chicken shawarma platters, served on a heap of rice alongside fresh pickled radishes, cucumbers and tomatoes, are worth every penny (in this case, $15)." - omnia saed

Grab your meal at the downstairs counter, then head up the narrow staircase to find the seating area if you’re too impatient to take your food to go.

"Open until 2am or later daily George’s King Of Falafel makes some of the city’s best shawarma. This Georgetown spot serves up lamb and chicken shawarma platters with all the fixings—fresh pickled radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes—for about $15. Expect a line, because after a night out in DC, everyone’s got the same idea. Take your shawarma to go or grab a seat at one of the wooden tables upstairs." - omnia saed
"This falafel shop began stocking Salaam Cola after customers sought an option that didn’t support Coca-Cola for political reasons; the owner says the first week sold out and he had to reorder immediately. He and his patrons have enjoyed the flavor and lower calorie profile (attributed to cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup), but he stresses that the primary motivation for carrying the drink was its political message and the chance to offer customers an ethical alternative." - Jaya Saxena
