Shawafel Lebanese Cuisine Launching a Food Truck in June

Shawafel is one by far one of the best cheap eats in the city. Personally I think the Shish Taouk is one of my favorite meals in the city. Their website says:

Shawarma and Falafel quick served restaurant, the name comes from the two words combined “Shawafel”.

We will be serving chicken, lamb and beef mixed Shawarma; the traditional Lebanese way which is made from scratch with my family’s secret sauce. All our meat will be bought from local farmers, cutting it, marinating it and then skewered on the vertical spit. Same goes for the chicken shawarma. We will be serving spreads such as: hummus and baba ghanoug. For salad options, we will have Tabouleh and Fattouch as served in Lebanon.

Shawafel opened up at 1322 H St, NE back in Aug. 2011. For those that don’t live near H Street – you are in luck – I spoke to the owner on Saturday afternoon who said he will be launching a food truck to be called @Shawafel in June. You can see their menu here.

Awesome news.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
