Did you survive the sudden rainstorm last night? I hope you did. I hope you weren’t outside eating a lovely meal when it hit. If you were, let’s hope these deals make you feel better.

Must Buy: I really like Indian food, and as I’ve complained here before sometimes you get deals to Indian restaurants that just aren’t worth it. You want to like them, but Indian is often just too pricey. So that’s why The Capitol Deal’s deal to Rasoi Indian Kitchen (1810 K St., NW) is awesome.

Only one deal coming your way this morning.  Here’s what we’ve got.

Fifty-Fifty:  Scoutmob’s $15 off at Fez Bistro in Falls Church isn’t particularly thrilling, but it’s a fairly solid deal.  $15 off will get you close to two entrees, though you’ll almost certainly go a bit over, and reviews of the food at Fez Bistro and its sister restaurant Taste of Morocco are decent enough.  In Falls Church, it’s a bit out of the way for District residents, and make sure you check the time: the deal is only available from 8-10 pm on Monday and 6-10 pm Tuesday through Sunday.

Welcome back Monday. I know last week we were a little slow in the post-4th heat. But the weather has cooled down! The worst may be very well behind, and we’re back in action. Hopefully the deals have returned from their time off as well. Let’s take a look:

Must Buy: One of DC’s most recent food fads was the burger craze. Many places sprung up seemingly overnight. One of these that joined the fray was brgr:shack (4215 Fairfax Dr., Arlington) is one such place. Not to be confused with BGR or Shake Shack, today’s Google Offer is $3.50 for $7 toward their premium burgers.

Hope everyone had a great 4th! We got one good and one bad deal for you this morning.

Must Buy: DC is a city known for its good Ethiopian. Scoutmob’s deal to Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant (2434 18th St., NW) is no exception. While maybe not the top spot, it is certainly worth checking out at a discounted price. With up to $15 off you’ll get yourself a good amount of food.

Avoid: There’s no good reason to buy today’s Google Offer for Bestolli’s Pizza. Only $3 off subpar pizza is as much of an avoid as you can get.

The Morning Roundup: 7/3/2012

Fifty-Fifty: $15 for $30 to Yves Bistro in Alexandria from LivingSocial is a classic lunch fifty-fifty.  While going in the evening will run you between $20 and $30 per entree, during lunch almost all of their menu items are under $10.  But the lunch menu is build with a good number of options from burgers and sandwiches to pastas and pizzas.  Again, a great lunch deal, when night begins to fall… steer clear.

Looks to me that all the other deal sites have decided to take the 3rd for the 4th.  I’ll be keeping my eyes open to see if anything pops up, but as it stands, its just the one.

Happy Monday everyone. I hope that you survived the storm, and have power. The men of Eat the District are powerless, but that doesn’t stop the deals.

Must Buy: There are a lot of places that bill themselves as Modern Asian or Asian Fusion and a lot can’t pull it off. Many are pretty good and some are very good. Today’s Scoutmob falls somewhere in between pretty and very good. 50% off to Zabb Modern Asian (1836 18th St., NW) offers you up to $20. This will get you a really good amount of food for a low price.

Congratulations! You’re almost there. It’s almost 5pm on Friday, and you’ll be able to escape the office and head home. Hopefully you won’t melt today, as it looks to be another scorcher. To the deals!

Must Buy: Today’s Scoutmob is a little confusing. 50% off to Gesté Wine and Food (4801 Edgemoor Ln, Bethesda) implies you can get wine with your deal. You can’t. With a max discount of up to $10 you can get a lot of really tasty food, but no alcohol. Despite this lack of wine, this deal is a must buy.

Everyone! It’s almost the weekend! Hurray. Now onto the deals before it gets too hot out.

Must Buy: French restaurants in DC often tend to be really expensive (see any of Michel Richard’s restaurants), or inexpensive and mediocre. Bistro la Bonne (1340 U St. NW) is neither. It’s inexpensive and awesome. That’s why this $20 for $40 is amazing. I recently was there for a birthday brunch and you’re going to eat well with this deal. Bloody Marys, Mimosas, and Bellinis ran $3/each.

Happy hump day!  You are almost there!  Here are the deals!

Fifty-Fifty: $15 for $30 over at Layalina in Arlington from scoutmob is an okay deal.  Boasting an extensive menu, Layalina heavily features it’s Lebanese and Syrian roots.  Unfortunately, the menu, with it’s plethora of spiced meat as well as hummus and vegetarian options is pretty expensive.  Most of the entrees sit just under $20 meaning your coupon wont do all that much.  Also, it is a bit of a ways outside the city.

Happy Tuesday everyone. The weather this morning was beautiful and the forecast looks fantastic. We got so

Must Buy: This first one is for all you Montgomery County dwellers. Bethesda has a lot of good restaurants, and one you may have overlooked was Pizza Tempo (8021 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD). Google Offers has $10 for $20 today and we like it. With a lot of good looking pizzas this deal will get you an XL pizza at a minimum. With a rather extensive menu you can mix and match your way to $20 easily. Who doesn’t love discounted pizza?
