Yasmīne is a celebration of the ultimate comfort food. 


A Lebanese-inspired shawarma and falafel shop, Yasmīne’s menu is a celebration of the incredible flavors and dishes of a culinary culture rooted deeply in community and tradition. 

Originally conceptualized by Michelin-Starred Chris Morgan cooking and tasting renditions of their favorite Lebanese-inspired dishes, Yasmīne is the realization of the their desire to continue sharing the food they all love so much in an accessible, playful way.  

The menu, featuring thinly shaved shawarma, crisp falafel, fresh cheeses, salads, spreads, and sandwiches wrapped in fresh pita and dressed with herbs, vegetables and bright, flavorful sauces is designed to offer guests fresh food they can stay and savor or just as easily enjoy at home or on the go. 

The Yasmīne location at Union Market also offers a full bar featuring wine, distinctive cocktails, complete with a robust selection of non-alcoholic beverages including unique juices, sodas, and teas. 

Chef Chris Morgan was one the original Executive Chefs of Maydon, where he was awarded a Michelin Star. Chef Morgan is now a Chef-Owner at Joon restaurant, where he received his second James Beards semifinalist nomination for “Best Chef.” Chef Morgan has been mainstays in the DC hospitality scene, but Yasmine is a passion project that has been his dream.  

Located in the heart of Union Market, and the Kitchen Collective virtual food hall at Tysons, VA. Yasmīne aims to be a neighborhood spot where everyone feels at home.
