Would you like a side of pot with your main course? Food pairing menus are all the rage these days, with beers, wines and even coffees all getting the matching makeover from experts. But one US restaurant has taken things a step further by matching their mains to marijuana. Bright spark: The Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, is the first restaurant in the country with a menu that matches cannabis to food . Canny move: The restaurant's menu pairs five falafels to five strains of marijuana . Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, has launched its pot-pairing menu which matches five falafels to different strains of weed. This is strictly a take-away operation though, as those who like to indulge won't be able to smoke on the premises. Owners Arianne and Scott Bennett devised the rather sophisticated  falafel toppings best eaten when smoking different strains of marijuana. For those who like to imbibe in some OG Kush, the restaurant recommends a falafel sandwich of baba ganoush, beetroot, pickled turnips, coleslaw, garlic parsley and tahini. If it's an Afghani strain that's got you excited, then opt for sliced cucumber, onion and dill salad, fried aubergines, and thinly layered garlic cream. According to the menu, this is the best combo for that particular strain as the 'pot/sandwich pairing has been known to induce intense relaxation.' The falafel topping counter at the restaurant includes julienne vegetables, salads and various dips . If you're looking for more of an energetic experience, the menu advises to pair a baba ganoush and chickpea, pickle, tomato, cucumber, tahini and red pepper sauce salad with a Cactus joint. 'This pairing has been known to induce an uplifting, energizing and euphoric effect,' the menu states. Sparking up Lemon Haze? Go for a hummus, yoghurt sauce, garlic parsley, crunchy onion, pickled cauliflower and Turkish salad combo; a pairing which will give you 'energy and creativity.' It's pairing different weed with different types of food,' Mr Bennett said to Fox News . 'You're tasting different things. I mean, different weed taste differently.' A law was passed in February this year which made it legal for Washington DC residents over the age of 21 to possess, grow and smoke recreational marijuana. There is a limit to the quantity users can possess and usage in public as well as sales within the DC limits is prohibited.
