Zaytinya
The king of DC’s food scene, Jose Andres’ Mediterranean restaurant is a classic. Literally cannot go wrong with this place. This is my order: hummus, labneh, crispy brussels, shish taouk, and adana kebab. Fattoush, falafel, and flatbreads are also very good. While everything you order off the menu will be fire, the free hot bread they bring out to your table is really the shining star. Trust me, you will be full before any of your food comes. Zaytinya is always packed, has great drinks and is good for larger groups.
