the absolute best restaurant in the d.c. area. to start with, i'm afraid that the three dollar signs at the top will scare some people away. they shouldn't. this isn't a three dollar sign restaurant. it's barely a two dollar sign restaurant. whoever is responsible for those dollar signs at the top needs to be sent to a siberian work camp, or maybe a nickleback concert.
you can eat here with a full meal for as low as less than 8 bucks, and probably you'll average around 10 dollars.
i moved to the d.c. area a few years ago for work, and i have been to this restaurant more times than any other. thefoodis awesome, the staff is very friendly, it has a mix of people of pretty much every race, religion, gender, etc.
the best stuff here is the sides -- the rice and chickpeas are both super-tasty. but the entrees that the sides accompany are great too. the fried fish is amazing, the shrimp karahi is a favorite and of course the kabobs are among the best you'll have.
and if you might think you're not open to this kind of food, but you have to try it first. it's amazing and just about everyone likes it. if you're a vegetarian, there's plenty for you. if you are a normal well-adjusted human being, there's even more.
i see there are people giving this place mediocre reviews. these are the same people who would sleep with shakira and give her a c-minus or complain that the burj khalifa is too short. in other words, they are stupid and should be ignored.
