Grill Kabob, Tysons Corner VA
We all know the Grill Kabob chain of restaurants and I have done quite a few locations over the years at this point. Always straight-forward and pleasant shoots of my favorite middle eastern kabobs.
Kiroran Restaurant, Fairfax VA
Kiroran was a treat to shoot because among the slew of Chinese, Korean, and wannabe Japanese places ran by Chinese or Thai staff, an actually different Asian spot was a welcome break from the usual for me. Uyghur cuisine – derivative mix of Chinese and Pakistani and Khazak dishes that we definitely hardly ever see…
Kabob Villa, Alexandria VA
Kabob Villa was a smooth gig with very well presented dishes and lots of curries and sauces in a little bar that’s actually not too common of a sight.
Matt’s House of Kabob, Rockville MD
Matt’s House of Kabob is a superb place to get your kabob fix in the Montgomery College, Rockville Campus area. They literally have all sorts of kabobs including even salmon! Unfortunately this place didn’t last, but it was solid while it lasted!
Layalina Restaurant, Arlington VA
Layalina is a one-of-a-kind Lebanese and Syrian restaurant with amazing meze, lamb shanks, shawarmas and more in a very homey and artsy atmosphere run by the sweetest and welcoming owners. I highly, highly recommend checking out this place! Cozy, homey decor and amazing mom and pop team always put a smile on my face even…
East West Grill, Arlington VA
East West Grill is a nice, quick counter-serve spot for halal meats and burgers. Always a pleasure seeing kabobs, gyros, and other middle eastern fare and this was a decent gig in all.
Bread And Kabob, Falls Church VA
Bread and Kabob is a nice little Middle Eastern halal place in Falls Church VA. Straight and simple gig – in and out.
Royal Palace Kabob, Alexandria VA
Royal Palace Kabob is an excellent kabob and Indian stop between west Alexandria and Annandale, VA. Smooth sailing of a shoot that could’ve easily been a nightmare and I have a few stories about such under a story post tag.
Fez Moroccan Restaurant, Philadelphia PA
In the heart of Queen Village, Philly, lie many culinary gems and the first ever Moroccan restaurant I’ve been to. The food is fantastic and has a wide selection of meat and vegetable dishes. The atmosphere is very ambient and it doubles as a hookah lounge in the evening hours as well as belly dancing!…
Cedars Restaurant, Philadelphia PA
Queen Village in Philly is home to numerous amazing restaurants and take-outs, and Cedars is definitely one of the best ones for Lebanese and middle-eastern cuisine. And lets not forget about elusive and majestic free 2-hour parking until 6PM and free hence after! And it gets better because if you’re in the mood for some…
