In the heart of Bethesda, there’s a small corner that smells like home—warm spices, sizzling falafel, and fresh bread. That’s where District Falafel began, not just as a restaurant, but as a dream. Bo…
Food has always been great.. I recently started ordering from here and they never disappoint. Today I ordered the lamb gyro bowl and it is phenomenal. I haven'ttried the veggie samosa buti know it will be great. I even asked for extra olives and they gave me a container full. Trust me , it's great. Couldn't make it home, eating in the car lol

I have been a Lebanese Taverna disciple for over twenty years but lately have noticed the food quality slipping. I decided to to try District Falafel (the chicken kabob) and was pleasantly surprised. District Falafel's food was far superior. First, it arrived warm. The nice portion of chicken was somewhat moist and flavorful. The hummus was outstanding and tasted like it was just made.The rice was moist and flavorful. The salad was cut to be easy to eat and was lightly dressed. The tzatziki and garlic sauce were both fresh tasting and delicious. Farewell Lebanese Taverna - you were good for many years - and hello District Falafel. If the quality stays like my meal tonight, you will be my go to Mediterranean restaurant. The only thing about my meal that could have been improved would be supplying utensils. Bravo

Delicious Palestinian and Mediterranean food. Everything was perfectly seasoned and prepared.
The Sumac & Za'atar French fries arrived warm and crispy, which I unfortunately can't say about a lot of other places that deliver fries.
The Cauliflower & Falafel Wrap is delicious, with just the right amount of filling. I'm not sure if the pita is homemade, but it tastes better than a lot of other pitas I've had.
I thought the Mujarada (Lentil & Rice with Caramelized Onion) was well seasoned, but the portion was a bit small. However, the salad and okra it comes with make it well worth the price.
As for the Baba Ghannouj, I really enjoyed it and thought the extra sumac and pomegranate seeds were a nice touch. I kind of wish it came with a bit more bread, but I could have easily eaten it all by itself.
My only complaint is that the Baklava is fairly small for its price. Still, it was delicious, and I would probably order it again.

Chicken Shish Tawook (Chicken Kabob). Excellent. Flavorful spices but not spicy. Rice very good and plenty of Hummus. Only suggestion a bit more salad. Im very picky and dont usually leave reviews. Highly recommend.

Chicken portion was small. The meat was a little tough. And, the salad was not prperly dressed. Bread is becomming disappointing. There is nothing spcial about it other than the fact that it rolls well for easy packaging. The bread is basically tasteless; rare for a Middle Eastern restaurant. I may need to start searching for a new Middle Eastern fix.
