Notos Southern Bites (Kabob), Laurel MD
Naseer and his brother, the Ahmad brothers, did one of my overall favorite things – combined American Southern fried chicken with the Mediterranean kabobs, shawarmas, curries, and sauces in their humble, no-frills Notos Southen Bites (or Notos Kabob Halal) in Laurel, MD. I’ve seen this done a couple of times, one such example, and I’m…

Aroma Pizza Company, Lorton VA
Aroma Pizza Company was a smooth shoot pretty far down I95, though not the farthest I’ve gone before, and was the first example of Italian and Indian/Middle Eastern fusion I’ve seen – and I loved that idea!

Very Juicy Bobs – Yummy Kabob & Cafe, Annandale VA
Not that I would call this area Annandale being across 495 and nowhere near Litte River Turnpike, but Yummy Kabob is a surprisingly spacious spot tucked perfectly away off of Gallows Road and Woodburn Road. I’ve had my share of Middle Eastern cuisine over the years, and somehow it isn’t often that I bump into…

Al Pacino Cafe, Reisterstown MD
Al Pacino Cafe was a nice Italian spot along Reisterstown Rd not too far from 695, and the shoot was proper smooth sailing. This was definitely the first time I’ve seen lamb chops offered in an Italian spot as well as kabobs and shawarma, alongside some pasta and calzones!

Granada Restaurant and Cafe, Herndon VA
Granada was a cool Turkish and Mediterranean spot in Herndon, but has since shut down. The shoot was awesome and we pulled a table right outside and used the sunset at the end of my day to get a ton of dishes taken cared of.

Bey Lounge, Vienna VA
Bey Lounge is a true hole-in-a-warehouse-wall place off of Chain Bridge Road and offers awesome Mediterranean cuisine on top of some real hot parties. Airport style decor goes extra well with the whole atmosphere and feel of the place. This was a very interesting location that’s essentially a club with a kitchen for some pretty…

Pasha’s Kitchen is a great Italian-Mediterranean fusion restaurant in Dupont Circle area, DC, with outdoor seating and a small, but cozy interior. Food is fantastic and I highly recommend this place! If you’re in the NE part of town and feeling like some Sicilian, then their sister restaurant Sicilian Pizza is your go-to. This was…
