Middle Eastern
The open hearth at the center of this Middle Eastern restaurant burns hot enough that you can feel it from across the room, which is by design. Everything here runs through that fire, from the flatbreads to the meats, and the kitchen's control of it is something to watch. Spreads, vegetables, and grilled proteins arrive in a relaxed progression, and the Middle Eastern wine and spirits list is a serious one. On The Washington Post's 40 best D.C. restaurants.

Lamb shoulder
“It’s worth paying a little extra for the lamb shoulder, a glorious hunk of fatty, shreddy meat you bundle into flatbread with a bevy of garlicky condiments.”
Washingtonian, 2026 -
Tahini-coconut rice pudding
“while tahini-coconut rice pudding with candied cardamom makes a compelling finish.”
