Eat a Kabob

*I have to start this post by thanking DJ Liz for introducing me to Ravi Kabob.

Okay. For those of you who don't live in the DC Megalopolitan area, here's the story: The restaurants in DC are okay. For a big city, its a little disappointing that they're just okay. For a nation's capitol, I'd say they're definitely subpar. Although I haven't been to many other countries' capitols, I have this expectation that a capitol city should offer some solid restaurants. And, sorry to say, DC just doesn't cut it in my opinion.

BUT. Don't cancel your visit to DC just yet because the surrounding areas in DC (Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria, Annapolis) have some of my favorite restaurants on Earth.

The subject of this post though is Ravi Kabob. Ravi Kabob is home of the best fucking food on Earth. I could eat their meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of my existence. Ravi is a Pakistani restaurant, and as a half-Indian, I think that means I'm not supposed to enjoy the food. However, it just happens to be mind blowingly good. The past two months, I would say that I've been averaging going to Ravi Kabob twice a week.

Here's why Ravi is awesome:

1) It's cheap. $10 will get you a dinner, and enough leftovers for a solid lunch the next day.

2) It's awesome. Now I know what you're thinking: "Can a restaurant be awesome because it's... awesome? Yes it can. Don't argue with me.

3) The food is amazing. I have never been a fan of vegetables, but this restaurant somehow makes vegetables taste like food from God. The meat? Awesome as well. The lamb is fantastic, and the chicken too.

4) They have weekday specials. The specials change daily, and they are all good.

5) They have mango lassis! Mango lassis are a mango yogurt drink that make life worth living. Not only do they have mango lassis, but when you order them, they are HUGE!

6) Ravi Kabob is SO BADASS AND AWESOME THAT THEY HAD TO OPEN ANOTHER ONE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ORIGINAL! Not even Starbucks has the balls to do this. Don't believe me? Check Google Maps. You'll say to yourself: "My God! Which one should I go to?! " Don't worry, and don't fret, because it doesn't matter. Why? See #2.

If you don't believe any of my six undisputable points, you should check YELP. Or just go to the damn restaurant.
