Also get the ful, which is a fava bean dip that you 'll find on the breakfast menu, and ask them to hold the yogurt. Staff in my experience is helpful and can help with veganizing and identifying what 's vegan. It 's quite popular, so if you 're going on a weekend evening or some other popular time, you will likely have a wait. I try to go during weekend post-lunch, pre-dinner hours. Or I 'll go right after work before the dinner rush really starts. And it 's not a big space- there 's really no where to stand/sit and wait inside. So if there 's bad weather keep in mind that you might be waiting outside or alternatively you 'll be waiting right on top of somebody eating their food. And umm, yeah, as someone said, the space looks old, i.e. dated. If you need current interior design in order to properly enjoy your food, 1) that 's weird and 2) this may not be the place for you, which is good because more room for me!

I agree with another commenter that the space is too tiny, a bit awkward, and in need of updating at the very least. Cool location between DuPont and Adams Morgan.

I highly recommend this place.
