Went here for a night out with friends and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was electric, great vibes, great music, and even better food. I ordered the oxtail dinner, and wow… it was absolutely fantastic. Not a single grain of rice was left on my plate. My friends went for the pasta, and they couldn’t stop raving about it. We all left full, happy, and already talking about when we’re coming back. Highly recommend! Lastly I’ve been to a lot of restaurants this restaurant fills your glass all the time that was very, very impressive!

Portion of my salmon was unacceptable, Mac and cheese was plain not cheesy at all. Kale tasted like it had something sweet in it. My order was 88.00 for two meals I can say this was not worth the money at all.

One of the best shisha / hookah in terms of taste and quality in all of the DC, although quite expensive. Good atmosphere with some live music in the evenings.

Stopped by for Taco Tuesday. Great music. Good service. Themed nights (e.g. karaoke, ladies night) and happy hour. They also have a good rewards system, earned $6 off next visit. Even though I'm not local, I'd return for those reasons. The food was just okay.

Jerk chicken tacos- 3/5 small. Chicken moist but lacked flavor. Needed a sauce, got some jerk on the side which helped.

Mac and cheese- 4/5 creamy, cheesy cooked well. Solid mac. Could use a little flavor, like there's salt but no body if that makes sense.

Virgin mojito 3/5 okay, everyone makes them different. But $8 for whats essentially gingerale with lime & mint is on the expensive side. (Usually pay $4-5).

Rum cake- 1/5. Ordered to go. Not good or worth $12 for this slice. But honestly I should have known when I was told the fried oreos were better. Rum cake is essentially just an infused pound cake, but I honestly I can't tell you what this tasted like. The sauce gives Nutella and the cake was crumbly as you can see. I honestly am so upset I didn't not look at it before I left.

Great spot on H Street. It has a very chill theme, with some music in the background. I went here after Sunday brunch at Focus. Shoutout to Nicki, the bartender. She was a pleasure to work with. She mentioned the special on game days: jerk wings, French fries, and a ticket of tequila for $30.

First time at Lydia on H St thanks and I have to say, the food was good, the service was better. Jay was incredibly attentive, offering great recommendations and was genuinely kind and respectful throughout my visit.

The beef patty might be the best one I've ever had, hands down! The jollof rice was flavorful, abeit slightly hard. The Frozen Piña Colada was on point. Loved the great music and ambience.

Jay's service made this visit memorable. Highly recommend and will be back.

The service here is terrible. They constantly run out of menu items, and when they mess up your order, they don’t take any accountability. The staff is unhelpful and the overall experience is very disappointing. I would not recommend this place.

Great atmosphere. Drink prices were insane and also not great in quality. Otherwise, I would return for the vibes alone. We did not try the food.

They misrepresented the price of the meal. It is only a $5 difference each but they didn’t accommodate. The food used to be better in quality and quantity. They no longer have jerk wings, cabbage, and some of their popular items. They also used to have unlimited rum punch but no longer. And the rum punch is weak. I do not recommend patronizing.
