    I came here during my lunch break since a. itโ€™s close by and b. I forgot to pack lunch last night. Todayโ€™s lunch was a meat shawarma bowl with salad and rice and a bunch of toppings. I donโ€™t remember all of them but off the top of my head I had: tomatoes, pickled onions, garlic, cucumbers, and parsley. I chose the bowl over the wrap since it seemed more filling; I got the salad/rice duo to be a bit healthier and get some greens in there. Anyways, the saladโ€™s alright; Iโ€™ll probably just get rice next time. The environment/ambiance: outdoor seating was nice today. Itโ€™s conducive to spontaneous interactions and chats with other people eating. Of course, your mileage may vary. If itโ€™s raining, itโ€™s loud outside, too hot, etc, you might want to eat inside or just take it to go. Overall nice place, good food. Iโ€™ll probably be back again sometime soon.

    Great authentic taste! The Shawarma spices were well balanced, the meat was tender, and itโ€™s served in fresh Lebanese bread. French fries taste like homemade fried in clean oil. Great hospitality with a smile on the face. Highly recommended!

    Shawarma District in Washington DC is a gem! I ordered the Shawarma wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. The wrap was generously filled with tender, flavorful meat, fresh veggies, and perfectly seasoned sauce. Every bite was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere was casual yet inviting, making it a great spot for a quick and satisfying meal. I highly recommend Shawarma District to anyone craving an authentic and mouth-watering shawarma!

    Probably the worst rice bowl of my entire life... The lamb portions looked so so so sooo small (you can finish it with 1 scoop) which is why I ordered extra meat. Even after the extra meat, the meat section didn't look enough! They charged 3$ extra for the double meat. In total, only the bowl as 17$. Probably the worst way I spend 17 dollars of mine. The meat was pretty cold. I asked the waiter to warm the bowl up. She said they don't have any Microwave. That was pretty hilarious to hear! They only have one white long grain rice, which felt like I was chewing mud? Idk. Horrible food! Heard good things about the shawrmas, but THE RICE BOWL? NO NO NO I just ate the meat because I was on my lunch break and threw away the whole thing. Going to chargeback my money from my bank!

    The falafel is so good. Itโ€™s the best. Always fresh and always full of flavor.
