Washington Post: Best of DC 2016 – BEST LATE NIGHT EATS

BEST LATE NIGHT EATS

Oily. Salty. Crunchy. Amsterdam Falafelshop achieves a late-night trifecta with well-executed chickpea fritters in the hull of every pita pocket. Combine those falafel balls with late-night judgment and a topping bar packed with crisp salads, pickled vegetables and Middle Eastern condiments and you’ve found a comfort for the walking inebriated. Golden fries double-dunked in oil are lifted higher by curried ketchup and Dutch mayo. Overloading your pita with toppings can cross the line from preventing hangovers to exacerbating them, but in the moment, it’s worth it. — Gabe Hiatt (Multiple locations) see live review
