Chris and I had been hearing raves about the Amsterdam Falafelshop in Adams Morgan. It isn't often you can get good, cheap eats in DC. Being on a post-London budget, we needed to save some cash.The restaurant is a tiny hole in the wall right in the heart of everything. I somehow managed to keep bumping into everyone else in there. They only do four things: falafel, french fries, brownies, and beverages.
It was probably the best falafel I have ever had. It was light and perfectly seasoned. The pita bread was soft and thick. They have a bar full of condiments, including some cumin-spiced onions that were amazing.
The fries weren't bad either, although they were overkill after the huge falafels. We didn't try the brownies. We later thought we might have erred in not eating brownies at someplace called the Amsterdam Falafelshop. Our whole meal - two falafels, fries, a soda and a guava nectar - cost less than $20. That's a miracle in DC.
One warning though, I was grepsing falafel for several hours after our meal. Bring some mints. And you might want to skip it on a date.
