$5.99 beef and lamb gyro at El Khartoum (1782 Florida Ave., NW; 202-986-5031). A mixture of ground beef and lamb goes into the bulging gyro that may be the only reason to visit this Sudanese/Middle Eastern joint. Peppery shavings from a rotating spit sport a smoky crunch from a toss on the grill. Swaddled in thick pita with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, its juices mingle with tahini, refreshing tzatziki, and—if you’re brave—hot sauce. Open daily for lunch and dinner.
