Terrific service & 4/5 food so far. Great self ordering system. I wish I discovered this place earlier because I am totally in love with Turkish shakshuka! Breakfast is served til 3 pm Friday through Sunday. Area has scarce parking so if you’re driving plan another 10-20 min just to find parking.

Very chill spot. Since the place is not that big, you get quality customer service. We ordered hot chocolates, ice coffees and baklavas.... And they were all rest good. This place definitely has their own twist. They also have a full menu to include happy hour.

I'm still sitting here and feel compelled to write this review. The meal was delicious, with very skilled technique. The mimosas were bottomless and we'll balanced. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so comforting and the staff, top notch. Even though we were not staying near the restaurant, our experience was well worth the travel. If you are looking for a bite, don't hesitate!

I give it five stars because our waiter was phenomenal, I really wish I got his name. Our service was excellent. The food was really good as well. All the greens were especially fresh. I liked the vibes and atmosphere of this place is great. They have a balcony you can go out on and have drinks too. They have cool window seats down on the first floor where you feel to be sitting right on H street.

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had! The porchetta was incredible with great balance! Also the house made vermouths are absolutely perfect!

We had the dips flight and a Speidi sandwich. The baba ganoush was some of the best we’ve ever had! The sandwich was perfectly seasoned. The bread for both was light and fluffy. Service was very attentive. For such a small place, the flavor was huge!
