Co-founders Nick Wiseman, David Wiseman and Ronen Tenne plan to open a Little Sesame restaurant at 7118 Bethesda Lane, Bethesda, Maryland, later this year, proudly joining the stellar line up of restaurants and retail in downtown Bethesda.

The fan favorite shawarma-spiced rotisserie family meals will join the menu as the perfect dinner choice along with a curated selection of quality beer, natural wine, and low ABV canned cocktails.
