"I was visiting a friend from out of town, after admitting she was too jetlagged to stand back up, I went on grubhub to find her some savoury, spicy food to perk her up. WOW! We ordered the Vegetarian Platter, destroyed it in 30 minutes. The Chicken Shawarma? Done by morning along with the still Soft, Chewy Pita, eaten instead of the complimentary hotel breakfast. The Kibbeh was an appetizer that went fantastically with the pickles hummus. We also ordered Tabouleh, spinach feta Fatayer. Beirut Cafe takes an extra 20 minutes from estimated time of delivery. It's also expensive as heck, did not live up to the price. But for all that it lacked, it wasn't much! The Tabouleh was mostly parsley, missing some cucumber burghul. The dolmas were canned and a little soggy, but flavorful. The Baba Ganouj was missing garlic, but still delicious. The Fatayer were crisp and juicy inside, fresh! The Falafel were slightly flattened, perfectly fried rounds of beans, parsley, coriander, onion. Our favorite items were the Hummus Shawarma, both delicious together inside the Pita bread. The Shawarma was a tangy, smoky, comfort-food blend of spices, marinated magnificently. I will be coming down here when I'm around Falls Church just to try their other dishes."
