Ottoman Taverna is a unique dining experience in DC. The interior features a sleek and modern design, offering a variety of dishes with exotic names on the menu. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, with many speaking Turkish. The food is delicious, with simple presentation but fantastic flavors. Recently, some customers noted that while the food and service were great, they were surprised by a 20% additional service charge that is clearly stated in the menu, meant to cover rising operating costs and not as a tip for the server. Some reviews mention that the drinks can be expensive, contributing to a higher total bill. However, diners have enjoyed dishes like roasted cauliflower, savory stuffed eggplant, and butter shrimp in chili and turkey spices, often paired with a delightful Turkish Sauvignon Blanc. While service can be slow, the waiters remain enthusiastic and helpful. Overall, Ottoman Taverna remains a gem in DC, providing a fun and memorable dining experience.
