DC Charcoal Chicken – Middle Eastern

The enticing aroma of spice-rubbed poultry slow-roasting over glowing embers fills this vibrant eatery, where the signature rotisserie turns until the skin reaches a perfect, crackling gold. The kitchen balances that smoky warmth with the bright, citrusy zing of fresh ceviche and the savory sizzle of traditional stir-fries, creating a communal atmosphere where hearty family platters and bold Peruvian flavors take center stage.
