Nice kebabs and grilled meats. Quick service. One star deducted for price -- a tad high.

This is an excellent Persian eatery. I had a falafel sandwich. It came with the sauces you see below, as well as the homemade rice pudding and cup of tea (both complementary, with baklava option). I will be coming back for their grilled meats. I hope they do well at this location.

Unlike most of you in DC, I had an unexpectedly fantastic election night thanks to Peter at Z Burger "He is associated with this restaurant as well". As a Marine combat veteran from the war in Afghanistan (Marjah Afghanistan 2010) I am fascinated by the US government, flaws and all. I am new to the area and live in Northern VA so I decided to get a hotel in DC to experience election night there for the first time. To my dismay the city was completely dead when I finally made it out. I assumed I would be able to find food but nearly everything was closed! After not eating anything all day, panic began to set in. While in an Uber I saw Z Burger and an adjacent bar. I stopped my ride on the spot and headed inside. Upon entering the restaurant, Peter was the first person I encountered. He informed me they had actually been closed for nearly an hour at that point. Seeing the excitement in my eyes turn to utter disappointment, he offered to make me fries on the house. He then proceeded to make me a chicken sandwich with the fries. Anyone who has eaten at this restaurant knows the food is fantastic. That being said, the review I wish to give is a review of the person I met that night, Peter Tabibian. Peter is a kind, generous, and talented man who saw a person in need and chose to make a difference in at least one persons life that night, mine. To me, the best gift one can give is to restore someones faith in humanity. Peter, you gave me that gift and I am deeply thankful. Please support this man and his employees. The delicious food is a great bonus.
