Jared CampbellDecember 12, 2016Great food, but extremely noisy. Better for large groups than first dates.
Faisal MajidAugust 2, 2014Very delicious middle eastern food in DC. I wasn't expecting such a rich taste in America.
Erin CushingOctober 17, 2012Delicious Mediterranean-inspired small plates. Particularly good seafood-centered dishes!
Aya FSeptember 16, 2012Turkish restaurant week menu was delicious! Worth more than the $18 they charge!

Maggie ChowApril 2, 2010The spanikopita is damn good but it looks like a hot dog?? There's something really good about the olive oil too, very sweet. Yum!
Robert ThomasMarch 13, 2015Get a few different items, as the dishes are quite small. The waiters recommend 2-3 for a complete meal.
- Leigh FerreiraDecember 4, 2010grape leaves & spanakopita r sooo yummy. order the Turkish coffee sweet. i may be up 4 a week after drinking it. :-)
Shrimp with Dill, Escargot and Crab Cakes are my favs!!!
- Nasir....May 31, 2016It quite average place! Don't really worth the given rating at all! Food ain't Turkish at all! Not even Lebanese. Over seasoning and salty! Don't go there.

"Probably my favorite museum in DC. What makes this place so fun is that they have famous artists painting other celebrities and historical figures. Always something fun in their special exhibits."
