The Scene: Late Night Eats at Shawarma Spot

Move over you Jumbo slicers!  There's a new boy in town, Nizar from Shawarma Spot!  I noticed it when it first opened and, being the foodie wannabe that I am, I had to try it.  I was blown away by the pure fact that it was tasty late night food with a kick.  Shawarma is a typical Middle Eastern sandwich with rotisseried beef or chicken stuffed in a soft bread and topped with everything from salad to olives to hummus to their super secret shawarma sauce.

Open from lunch to extremely late almost every night of the week, Shawarma Spot is the perfect balance of quality and quantity for your night out in Adams Morgan.  My favorites were their authentic merguez (lamb sausage) and you have to get your sandwich "Tunisian" style stuffed with french fries and spicy harissa (red pepper sauce).  In case that doesn't make you drool, check out this week's segment, which is packed full of "food porn" for your viewing pleasure:
