Falafel fans, take heed: there's a new spot in town to get your fix. The new arrival to Southwest, called Falafel Inc., is located at 1140 Maine Ave. SW.

The fresh-made falafel — you can watch it being made in the large vats behind the counter — comes in a pita sandwich or in a bowl, with toppings like tahini and garlicky tatbili. Customize yours with freely-available sauces like the spicy red to the creamy garlic white. There are a number of salads available like cucumber or tabouli, plus hummus and french fries flavored with za'atar.

The Georgetown-based "social enterprise" devotes a percentage of sales to refugees through the World Food Programme. 

Falafel Inc. has garnered rave reviews thus far, with a five-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp.

Gellie E., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on March 19, wrote, "This is the best falafel I've had in D.C. Don't forget the sauces. The menus have helpful descriptions of each sauce to help you decide which ones you want."

Falafel is now open at 1140 Maine Ave. SW., so swing on by to take a peek.

It’s wine o’clock somewhere.

Hitting up new and buzzy hotspots is all well and good — but it usually involves leaving your pajamas at home. Skip the hassle and get straight to the good stuff with Winc, the wine club that curates bottles based on your personal taste, and delivers ‘em straight to your doorstep. Like berry-forward flavors, hate bitterness, and crave earthy notes? Winc has the wines for you, for as little as $13 a bottle.
