Looking to satisfy your appetite for Middle Eastern fare?

Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Middle Eastern restaurants around Washington, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to venture when cravings strike.

1. Falafel, Inc.

Topping the list is Falafel, Inc. Located at 1210 Potomac St. NW in Georgetown, it is the highest-rated, low-priced Middle Eastern restaurant in Washington, boasting five stars out of 522 reviews on Yelp.

Yelper Asher H., who reviewed the business on Dec. 24, wrote, “I really didn’t expect to be blown away at the vegetarian-only offerings at Falafel, Inc. The food was not only delectable, but crazy affordable as well.  I strongly recommend the falafal/hummus combo sandwiches, as well as the zatar fries.”

Shivani G. noted, “This is by far the cheapest meal you’ll find in Georgetown. For $3 you can get a falafel wrap and for $4, a salad. Both are beyond tasty and a decent portion, given the prices.”
