Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Pigtown

This is the 3rd time I’ve dined at Ammoora and I was not disappointed. Dining here is an amazing experience from the time you enter the restaurant and are greeted by the hostess. There were three of us and we ordered multiple appetizers, main courses and desserts. The starters included an order of hummus and warm pita bread. I have it’s the best hummus I’ve ever eaten. All the main courses were amazing. The most amazing was the fall of the bone short rib. I had the kofta kebabs I highly recommend. Our server was exceptional. Gigi was very professional and was extremely helpful explaining the menu. If you have a chance and want to try Syrian cuisine, look no further than Ammoora.

I wanted to try Cazbar for a long time, but then during Covid, sadly, it closed. I was thrilled to see the restaurant had reopened, and I wasn’t disappointed in the very least. The food, the service ambience were all excellent. The belly dancer couldn’t have been more lovely and very entertaining. What a delight!

a delicious experience with exceptional service and outstanding food. We felt very well taken care of. Can’t wait to come back!

The food and service were fabulous. This restaurant is one of our favorite go to places when we are in DC. They never disappoint.

As always, everything was great from beginning to end. I feel some of the portions could have been a bit more since we were a table of 5 but that's how they get you to order 2 of things and not just one. The staff were attentive and great as usual. We had a little snafu with one of our after lunch teas being cold but it was remedied very quickly. Of course we'll be returning in the future. Everything on the menu must be tried!
