“Great spot for a casual dinner! Located in the heart of Union Market, Yasmine is a lively, bustling Mediterranean spot serving up delicious wraps, salads, and platters. I came by for a quick bite on Friday evening, and the Market was packed. We managed to snag a seat at the long table next to Yasmine and split their Friday special, the falafel wrap. The wrap was packed with flavor — it was a bit zingy, a bit spicy, and a bit herby. They had a delightful sauce, but the falafel itself had plenty of seasoning on its own as well. The falafel was perfectly fried, with a nice crispy shell, and it went wonderfully with the fresh, crunchy cucumbers, pickles, and cherry tomatoes.

My dining partner also tried their chicken shawarma wrap, which was also fantastic but slightly more lacking in flavor vs. the falafel wrap. It didn’t have the same sauce that the falafel version had, which made it a smidge less exciting and a tad more dry.

All in all, Yasmine is a great addition to my Union Market rotation! It has a great lively energy and solid food; I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions during planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.

Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.“

“We had an amazing dining experience at LebTav Restaurant in DC! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions and reasonable prices. The quality and freshness of the ingredients were evident in every bite. The restaurant was also spotlessly clean and well-maintained.

But what truly made our experience stand out was the exceptional service. The owner and staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive. They made us feel welcome and valued, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

We highly recommand Leb Tav Restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We can't wait to go back!“

“I decided to have some dessert for breakfast !! I figured I could use the extra boost of sugar since I was gonna be at the gym today and would burn it off. One of my favorite places to eat Muncheez DC also offers crapes !!😳👅 So I went in. The crape had rich milk chocolate on the inside and strawberries, bananas and powdered sugar on the outside. !!! OMG !! 😳 let me tell you !! I thought I was in Amsterdam again, because Amsterdam has Amazing crapes. It was warm and gooey on the inside and firm but soft on the outside. It was just right !! If you ever in Washington DC and want a delicious sweet treat you won’t be disappointed. Good Job Muncheez 👍🏽“
