“Our restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it’s a celebration of authentic halal cuisine served with heart.

From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted with the rich aroma of sizzling grills, warm spices, and freshly prepared meals made just for you.

Whether you’re dining in, grabbing a quick bite, or ordering for the whole family, DC Bites promises quality, cleanliness, and a taste you won’t forget.”

Thanks to Randy for sending: “2600 block of Conn. AV where Mr. Chen was for a long time. Two workers seen inside at 9:30 Mon. Night.” (more…)
