    The drinks were good. The Baba ghanoush was just ok. Had a weird taste. But great portion to share. I'll be back for more. Great people watching.

    Came here for drinks. Had the JALLAB. Non-alcoholic, drink was decent. Fruity and sweet and had lot of saffron taste, very familiar.

    I've only heard good things about Yasmine, so my friend and I decided to grab food here from Union Market. If you are feeling the Lebanese pita wraps, definitely try one of those because they're massive and worth how much you're paying for. My friend's beef shawarma was so big and filled with meat and other toppings. HUMMUS - 7 +6 to add chicken. Each spread comes with a piece of Lebanese pita, a sizable cup of hummus. There wasn't a lot of chicken (a cup's worth) and definitely not worth $6. However, the hummus was very smooth and creamy. Very flavorful and I had to stop myself from just picking up a spoon and eating it by itself. The pita was pretty stale and did not taste fresh. The chicken was fine, just regular chicken. Yeah, I would recommend getting a pita wrap here and sharing a spread with a friend.

    Counter service inside Union Market. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. I ordered: -Sumac lemonade: Strong cocktail. I didn't like how the sumac was just pieces of herb floating on top of the drink. It was kinda unappealing looking. -Lamb kebab: Super tasty, kinda messy to eat but all the best things are, right? -Fries: Nice flavor with herbs and the included toum. A little oily. Small was enormous and more than enough for 1-2 people. One thing I would recommend for the owners is to invest in a menu sign or similar. While I sat at the bar, at least a dozen people came by, looked confused, picked up a menu off the bar just to read what kind of food they served, and left.

    Yasmine is a relatively new addition to Union Market service some tasty kebabs. Overall, really enjoyed the meal, it's very quick (our large takeout order was ready 5-10 minutes), flavors are solid and the only minor complaints would be that portions are a touch small, and the pita is the generic really thin type. Favorite item - the toshka, basically a mozzarella and lamb quesadilla it was awesome. Other standouts - the balila (warm chickpeas), labneh (delicious), toum (addicting, but you'll have garlic breath for a while - worth it), beef shawarma, fries and pickles. The hummus and salad were fresh, chicken (shish taouk) and lamb kebabs also good, as well as falafel. The sahawiq is like a spicy chimichurri, also good. The meshawi platter comes with all three meats + grilled onion and tomato, sides and sauce. Good value and would order again.

    Meshawi platter pt1
    Andrew-Brian N.

    DELICIOUSNESS!! Ok, so I'm not sure how the individual items are, but this platter was delish and I felt it was reasonably priced at $52 It was the perfect lunch to share among 3 people. The Meshawi platter comes with a sampling of each meat, fries, pickled veggies, grilled tomato and onion, 3 pitas, smooth hummus, labneh, tuom, chic peas, and a lil salad. All the meat was tender and tasty. I love variety in my meals, so all the dips and accoutrements aligned well with my eating style. Toum, which is whipped garlic, was So so gooooddd! Even the fries were good. The only complaint I'd have is our pita were still warm, but the edges were a bit crunchy. Not sure if they were overbaked or something, but the pita wasn't nice and soft as I know it should be. Nonetheless, would def return for this!

    Such a fun place to grab dinner!

    New to the city and have been exploring different areas. Went to Uniion Market not knowing where to eat and so glad I stumbled upon Yasmine. Our server was super nice, and the food omg! Had fries, a falafel bowl, and yummy fresh mint lemonade. Can't wait to go back to try soemthing new.

    From the chefs of Maydan comes Union Market's newest stand and it's more than that. It comes with a wraparound bar with plenty of seats. Scan the QR code along the bar and order takeout or have a seat and enjoy it at the bar. Meeting a friend here for lunch on a Wednesday, we left impressed. The menu is large with sandwiches, salads, spreads, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Their beef shawarma sandwiches are the best we've had in the city. If you like fries and garlic, order a side of them with a garlic dipping sauce. To drink, we got the mint lemonade. It's mainly ice, but I only noticed because I was sad when the lemonade was gone. Prices are comparable to other D.C. spots and service was friendly and quick.

    All the food.

    Tasty!! Came here with two good friends for a catch up dinner. Since it was our first time in we decided we needed to try a bit of everything. Based on the dazzling insta pics I ordered the lamb. My girl judges restaurants by their falafel so she went that direction. We Also ordered the muhamara, toshka, fries and toum to split. I thought the lamb kebab sandwich was delicious! There was nice balance of spice, creaminess, acid, and heat that made me inhale the thing. My girl was pleased with the falafel and announced she would return. The muhamara was great - the only reason we didn't finish is because we ordered too much food. Normally fries are a thing I'm unenthused about and I feel no need to waste precious space in my tummy on them; these fries smack. The toum was such a lovely bright contrast to the warm spices of the fries. The toshka was a touch underwhelming in comparison. To drink we ordered the jallab, limonata, and cinnamon soda. All were so good. Cinnamon soda is the fall drink you didn't know you needed. We had a great time. Food was tasty. Prices were reasonable.

    Yasmine is located inside Union Market which is a cool indoor market with many restaurants and food options to chose from. They had tables reserved for customers in front of their restaurant and we ordered online through their QR code. I got the Beef Shawarma Sandwich and it was tasty but I wish it came with a side of fries or something, because the portion size could have been bigger. I do appreciate that quality of the beef that they used. It was cut into nice strips in my sandwich. My girlfriend got the Muhammara spread and dipping vegetables. While the spread itself was very good (restaurant quality flavor), there serving size was tiny and not enough to fill up a person, yet it was the same price as my entree. For a fast casual place, I think they could increase the size of the portions. On the bright side the service was fast.

    Limonata
    Ellie D.

    Ordered from their place at Union Market. I only got one drink so I don't think this review can really be considered a full review. If you're trying to decide whether to order from here, check out other reviewers that tried several of their dishes. As for me, I'll have to come back to experience more from this restaurant before truly throwing my weight behind a set rating. What we got: Limonata - 4* great flavor and a really refreshing drink! I wish we had asked for less ice though. At $6 a cup with a third of the cup being filled with ice, you don't get much to drink and it was gone after a couple of sips. My advice, ask for less ice.

    Falafel platter - huge!
    Rachael B.

    Loved it! We got the falafel platter and it was enough for both of us to have a full second meal with leftovers. And it tasted incredible. Service was great too. Would definitely return! One (small) downside is that the limited amount of seating they offer are high stools without backs which was a little uncomfortable.

I have never, not once, received a sandwich from this company, ordered either in-person or on-line, in which they have added the extra hummus for which I paid.

I'll say the nice thing first, though, which is that they have a nice water dispenser with little cups between the register (where you order) and the food display (where you pick out your fixings and receive your order). So you can have a sip of water while you're waiting the two or three minutes it takes to get your food. I had the "schnitzel," which turned out to be just chunks of breaded/fried chicken breast. Real schnitzel (which this is NOT) is flattened and tenderized by pounding it thin and flat. These were just big, tough chunks, which of course have to be a little overcooked to be cooked through to the center. So that was, to this schnitzel devotee, a disappointment. I guess if you know you're just getting chicken "tenders," it might seem better. The laffa flatbread it was wrapped in had a leathery texture that I did not enjoy, and did not finish. The various fixings I tried--vegetable salads and dips--were good, though. So it was not a complete fail. But for the price there are a lot of places--even some on the very same block--that make a far better meal, and offer a real dining experience to boot. For the full experience, I ate in. And really, the place is a dump. The tabletop was sticky; I had to put down napkins to keep my elbows clean. The sound of a fan dominated the space. They don't seem to have changed the furniture since the Astor days (the service counter is the same, too), though it seems dirtier and more dilapidated and less decorated than it was then. The self-busing stand sort of makes the point that it's really not trying to be more than a takeout joint. At this price point, I expect more. It really made me miss Astor.
