Mama Ayesha's

Mama Ayesha's on Calvert Street. Talk about a GEM! This place is fantastic! Great atmosphere and the food is delicious!

The Washington Post City Guide says:

Mama Ayesha started to develop a following as a chef at the Syrian Embassy when she first came to the country; now the restaurant belongs to her nephew. In many ways, it's like dining in a private home.
Mama Ayesha offers many of the best Middle Eastern specialities, from shish kebab, to kifta kebab, couscous, rice and stuffed grape leaves.

This is a MUST TRY!!!!!!! (Thanks David!)
