One of decent places around Dupont Circle. The place is very spacious with the first floor and second floor. The food was great. The service was also great. I would like to explain how food was great now everything was delicious. It was OK. Not that great. I’d recommend any body that will try veggie. Their Martini espresso was delicious. If you’re driving out, not recommend anybody to drive around to point Circle specially, during weekends either Uber or any cup.

We had a great experience at Ala which had lots of vegetarian options. The service was great and the staff were very attentive and explained the dishes when we were ordering. The food tasted exceptional but the dips and the bread were my favouritepart. The prices were on a big on the higher side but the quality of food and service makes its all worth it. We will definitelybe back here soon.

One of the best places in DC. Compliments to the genius chef. Amazing food and ambiance. Thanks Sam for a super great and fast service. We were a party of 6. Absolutely overjoyed with everything. My only comment would be to do something about yourportions. The hummus wasn't enough for one person. The adna was too pricey for one person only. So if you were not sharing thiscould get pricey quickly. Also the dessert and Turkish coffee are out of this world. Absolutely divine. Thanks for giving us ataste of the middle east. Am a fan! Taking one star off because of the prices only but everything else is top notch.
