This is a regular go to for lunch. Everything looks great and their soups (the lemon chicken, and the yellow lentil) are outstanding. Service is great.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Staff are so friendly, food is delicious, we sat outside and it was so pleasant, situated in a quiet neighborhood but right around the corner from Union Station.

The Ultimate Brunch Gyro was delicious!!

Can't wait to go back and hit it the one in Baltimore too!

I ordered a macha latte with skim milk but they didn't have it so I ordered it with soy milk, also a browni and baklava. The problem is when I asked if I could ¿can I sit at the table? He told me yes and I told she that it was for eating here, but when I was already seated, another girl approached me and told me that I couldn't sit because it was only for the restaurant. She gave me the option of sitting at the bar or outside (it was raining) but I’m a good person and told her that it's fine and I'll sit at the bar. They brought me the cold sweets first and then the boiling macha was super hot in a disposable cup (CLEARLY IT SAYS TO EAT HERE) I got upset and left.
I understand that sometimes you have bad days but I don't think that's the way to serve people. I've also worked in cafes serving people but it's not the way.

the only thing I liked was the browni

I like the long hours that the restaurant is open and the fact that they have brunch. The food could improve however and the service is OK. Overall it's a nice restaurant and one of the best options in that neighborhood for brunch. The salads are the best option in the menu in my opinion.

This place is about 2 blocks from my office. I was craving some hummus with lamb and decided that I could walk here real quick. I ordered the Hummus with spicy lamb topping an a gazpacho. The hummus is amazing, 10/10. The spicy lamb was very tender and tasty, and they gave me a lot of it. The Gazpacho, though, OMG that was terrible. Gazpacho is a blended cold soup, and what I got was more like a chunky salsa. I would come back for the hummus!

Amazing food! We had already been in DC 5 days before finding this place. We picked it for its proximity to Union Station but we were completely blown away by the food - best we've eaten on this trip without a shadow of a doubt. Perfectly balanced plates with nearly every color of the rainbow present. I ordered the spiced salmon & my partner got the chicken shawarma and there were 0 complaints, only praise. Our server, Ronny, was knowledgeable and friendly. He knew about the neighborhood, the local spirits the bar carried, etc etc. He really put the experience over the top. 10/10 will be returning

This Mediterranean spot is a true hidden gem! Tucked away, but absolutely worth finding. The manager was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We had the chicken and salmon plates, and both were excellent. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. They also have outdoor seating.

Great food and everyone is always so nice to us with our two kids. I wrote my review three years ago and updating it now post some changes at the restaurant - the food has never been better and while we still go to dine in, it’s one of the best presented delivery options. The food is fresh and you get a good mix of things, and the sauces are great.
