At first I thought you are in WA State and was hoping to discover a good place for ME around here, ha ha ha… DC!

Skewers is ok but not great, Zorba’s is good for a quick fix but definitely Greek, Levante has a couple tasty things but overall I’m not such a fan. I like Pita Plus, but it’s too far for a regular outing. Gosh, I’m kind of a kvetch, eh?

I don’t eat much ME food, but here are some things I can think of. You might try Zorba’s Cafe on Q & 20th by Dupont Circle metro. They are more greek influenced, but have some ME stuff. Also, Levante’s on 19th street, south side of Dupont Circle. And if you are ever out in College Park by UMD, try Pita Plus – it is run by israeli jews and they have great hummus and their lafa bread is so good.

true. amster does not have the best hummus. But the fact that they have beet salad on the bar and the best french fries in town makes up for it. call me a heathen…

Skewers on 17th and P st near Bua is good, but not great middle eastern food.
