Palestinian hospitality.Ukrainian soul.One table.
A 100% halal kitchen in the heart of Fairfax. From Palestinian family recipes and charcoal-grilled meats to Ukrainian comfort food, every dish is made for the table and meant to be shared.
Signature platters worth the drive
These are the dishes SimSim is known for — slow-cooked, deeply seasoned, generous, and made for sharing.
Palestinian · $30
Maqluba
A Palestinian celebration dish of seasoned rice, tender meat, eggplant, cauliflower, and vegetables cooked together, then dramatically flipped before serving. Finished with toasted nuts and served with yogurt.
House Specialty · $30
Haneeth
Lamb shoulder marinated overnight in warm spices, then slow-roasted for hours until tender enough to fall off the bone. Served over fragrant smoked basmati rice.
Ukrainian · $23
Crimea Plov
A fragrant Crimean-inspired plov with slow-cooked halal lamb, sweet carrots, onions, garlic, and warm spices, steamed with long-grain rice until deeply savory. Served with house pickles and yogurt-garlic sauce.
Jordanian Centerpiece · $30
Mansaf
Tender lamb gently cooked in a tangy fermented-yogurt jameed sauce, served over rice and thin shrak bread, then crowned with toasted almonds and pine nuts.
Chicken or Lamb · $30
Kabsa
Long-grain basmati simmered with tomato, dried lime, cardamom, saffron, and warm spices, layered with tender chicken or lamb, then finished with toasted nuts and raisins.
Three Kebabs · $30
Mix Grill
Our three signature kebabs — chicken, lamb, and beef — served over fluffy seasoned rice with grilled vegetables and three house sauces.
