I think of shwarma as "interesting convenience food" and not
necessarily fine dining. There are two Lebanese Tavernas close enough
to me (and with easy parking) so that I go there now and then. For
those living in the burbs, going to Adams Morgan is a dining
experience, not something I'd do for a quick lunch, since these days
I'm almost never in that area for other reasons.

Is there a Lebanese Taverna near enough to El Khartoum so that this is
a really fair comparison?

When it comes to Ethiopan restaurants, I'll make the sweeping
generalization (and you know what kind of flames that starts) that the
Northern VA restaurants are where the cab drivers go for lunch,
whereas the DC restaurants are where families go when they want to eat
dinner out. I'm not a greasy spoon sort of guy, and prefer the latter
kind of restaurant when I go out to dinner.
