Shawarma District 818 18th Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20006

"Best Shawarma around! If you're near the White House and looking for a different and delicious lunch, you have to try this place. The owner is super hospitable and polite. The shop is small but clean, and only has 3-4 tables. The food is delicious and fresh. One of my better experiences with food in DC. I liked the meat shawarma (lamb and beef) a little better than the chicken shawarma. The Egyptian mango juice sold there is also yummy. You won't regret trying Shawarma District."

"This place is amazing and it's really worth the time looking for the parking! The food is so delicious and the service is great."

"I typically don’t give five stars away but this place mostly deserved all five stars and more. The staff were exceptionally nice and welcoming. They were patient and took their time making our food. I accidentally lock the bathroom door and I didn’t receive the slightest of annoyance that you might usually receive. It is a tiny restaurant but their seating outside. It is very clean and well kept restaurant. You can usually tell how well the kitchen is clean by how well the bathrooms are kept clean because the same ppl cooking your food is also using the same bathroom."

"A great place to stop off for a quick, reasonably priced, really good lunch. I had a District Bowl ($12.99) with chicken shawarma over rice and various toppings that were fresh, colorful, and delicious. The Ayran yoghurt drink ($4.00), salty and tart, was perfect with the meal. Inside and outside seating, but it's busy at lunchtime."

"Very good shawarma- approaching excellent. The seasoning could have been a little more forward and it would have been perfect. As I ate I was able to appreciate it more, but the first bite(s) had me feeling something was missing. The service is excellent. The gentleman who worked the register was super helpful and friendly. Parking here… good luck. I managed to squeeze into a nearby (illegal) space and avoid any violation- but it can make for an expensive lunch if you get caught Very good experience here."
