the district: full of middle eastern food

I'm fascinated by Middle Easterners and their languages, customs, and food. For some reason we were in the mood for the food a lot: a Lebanese restaurant (I've only recently discovered how much I love falafel), pita and garlic hummus from Trader Joe's (twice), and, as documented here, the Afghan Restaurant.

I'd never had Afghan food before, but was excited to try it. I'm glad to have Jenna for a friend, because she likes to explore restaurants with me.

I bombarded our waitress with questions about Afghan languages and ethnic groups and wrote things down on my hand that I'd need to Wiki later.

It was delicious. The naan was better than at The Bombay House. (Forgive me, Bombay House, for ever saying such a thing.)
