George's King of Falafel & Cheesesteak

After spending the day exploring Georgetown, go to George’s for some of the best shawarma in the city, which explains why there’s always a line to the door. Don’t worry, the service is fast and the Georgetown spot is larger than it looks. There’s a downstairs counter where the Mediterranean food is served and an upstairs seating area if you’re too impatient to take your food to go. The lamb and chicken shawarma platters served with fresh pickled radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes are worth every penny (in this case around $15).
