The Pita House in Old Town Alexandria

Pita House in Old Town Alexandria is quiet and cozy, tucked away from the main tourist strip on King Street. The food is Mediterranean/Lebanese, and the extensive vegetarian menu includes flavorful entrees well beyond the usual hummus and spinach pies (although those are great too!). There are also plenty of favorites for non-vegetarians -- the shawarma seems especially lauded.

The quality of the food is great, and the prices are good -- sandwiches are inexpensive ($5-7ish) while entrees are a little bit more pricey ($9-13). The service isn't fast, but what's the hurry? The small dining room is nicely decorated, and a turkish coffee is an excellent punctuation to a delicious meal.
