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 — and the whole room can be yours for a private event.
Signature platters worth the drive
These are the dishes SimSim is known for — slow-cooked, deeply seasoned, generous, and made for sharing.
