Best Middle Eastern Restaurants in Newington

Outstanding food and service. So many tasty options for vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers. The staff create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Love the Rumi poems on the walls!

Have only been here twice and it has been nothing short of a great overall experience. Top notch service, food, and ambience. Can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic food. Brought three people who had never been before. They loved it, one ordered a dish (Fatteh) they had previously abroad. Kitchen even made artichoke dish that I requested removed from the menu that I adore.

We enjoyed a nice afternoon at Alhambra. Food was nothing mind blowing but ambience was nice.

This restaurant is a gem in Old Town Alexandria. Elaine’s also hosts ‘book talks’ and has a lovely space upstairs with a library feel. Jeffrey was kind enough to let the 4 of us sit in that beautiful upstairs space….even though we were the only ones there. The ambiance was exquisite…with beautiful soft music in the background and excellent service…even though our server had to come upstairs to tend just us. The food and cocktails were delicious! It’s a little on the pricey side…but well worth it! Will definitely be back!!
