Critic favorite Little Sesame got a visit this week and lived up to expectations. The bright, warm interior made you want to stay while the gentle middle eastern tunes transported me from downtown DC. The food is equally delightful ... and filling! On this simple menu you have two choices -- a hummus bowl or a hummus pita sandwich. I opted for the sandwich, getting the Roasted Eggplant with Green Schug (an herb mix), Tahini and Red Cabbage. The two-fisted sandwich had weight when I lifted it and left me feeling stuffed for a good six hours. DO use napkins, as the yummy goodness comes out with every bite. Of particular delight to me were the dipping sauces. Readers of this blog know that I like my sauces. There was a tangy, almost sweet tomato sauce and a tart/spicy green sauce at every table. While they did add a great zing to the dish, the layered flavors in the sandwich made them almost unnecessary. Almost! Warm pita, warm hummus and a great meal for under $10. Totally worth a return trip.
