The food was good, but what really stood out was the beautiful decorations and aesthetic vibe. The service was quick. Although I found portions were smaller, it was alright. Worth the visit if you are in DC area.

Kale and potato taco was especially good

David Luhr

Really, really delicious veggie tacos. You can tell from the flavor and texture that the tortillas are homemade. I had the creamy kale and potato taco on my first try, and want to go back to try more. The iced hibiscus tea is tasty and very refreshing.Very clean and welcoming environment.

I can't recall exactly what I ordered, but trust me, it was delicious. This restaurant is not only aesthetically pleasing but also impeccably clean. The staff was incredibly friendly, the service was quick, and as I mentioned earlier, the food was simply outstanding. Opting to dine outside was a great choice, especially on such a beautiful day in DC.

Ever since I discovered this place, I have not been able to stop ordering from here! The food is so delicious. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but the number one selling point for me is that 90% of their menu items are NOT cooked with seed oils! It is so hard to find a great place that ONLY uses extra virgin olive oil. I usually get the mushroom quesadilla and the Brussel sprout quesadilla since they're small, I get both. The prices are great, the food is always hot, and the ingredients are all natural. Thank you, Chaia for not using dangerous and inflammatory seed oils in your food - I wish more establishments would get on board!

My favorite fast casual / healthy food spot in DC. Meredith the manager is incredible - knows her customers, goes the extra mile to make sure everything is good and always delivers high quality food on time.I always bring in guests from out of town because it’s unique to DC - 10/10 on the veggie based menu!
