So a delayed but well intended post! Paul and I had dinner one night with our friend Louis on my recent trip to DC and he introduced us to the incredible food of Me Jana. 
This is true Lebanese cooking with the right flat to make it special, yet the kind of food you think about weeks after and look forward to going back. All too often I will hit a resturant that uses bold seasoning and flavors to impart the “foreign, exotic” ambiance of the dish and just as often the meal sink because the chef try to hard to hit me in the head with flavor. The brains behind Me Jana understand that quality and taste can be subtle, played and bright and still leave an impact.
Our dishes that night included
- Watermelon Salad
- TABOULEH, Parsley, mint, onion, tomato, burgul, olive oil, lemon
- HOMMOS WITH MEAT* With sautéed beef, roasted pine nuts
- MAKANEK*, Sautéed sausages, olive oil, lemon
- SEARED HALLOUMI; Bronzed Halloumi cheese, pears, dates
- A mixed meat plate of the house grilled favorites
- HALAWET EL JEBN; Rolled sweet cheese, stuffed with Achta, orange blossom syrup & pistachio
- ACHTA; Milk pudding, sliced bananas rose water, honey & pistachio

I can honestly say I would order all of them again!I can’t wait to go back.
