Rhiannon N: Chicken and waffles is amazing - no bones to pick and waffles are light and fluffy. The prosciutto bread is also fantastic, as are the drinks.
Annie Oemichen: Goat cheese ravioli is divine. Try the Manhattan soda for a non-alcoholic drink with a twist! Corn bread is also excellent.
Allison Kasic: Outstanding: butternut squash ravioli, corn bread, fried green tomatoes, chicken and waffles, and cocktails. Go to town.

Amy ✈️: This place is packed & for good reason! Great food & service! Little pricey but good size portions, we shared the steak frittes so we could also have escargots, cheese & the amazing bread & butter!

Manik Khanna: Got to say - probably the best Indian food I've had in the states! Amazing! Highly recommend the truffle oil naan.
Joseph Akbrud: The crispy spinach is fantastic. Note that many, if not most of the entrees don't come with rice or bread. I recommend the bread bowl, it comes with both roti and naan.
AFAR Media: On a recent visit, I feasted on a Keralan-style fish curry—utterly delicious. Be sure to order the naan. It’s made to order so it comes to the table piping hot. Read more.

Behrad Eats: Don't leave without ordering the Taiwanese Fried Chicken and Bread made with organic chicken, five spice caramel, & housemade bread loaf.
Stéphane E. de Fitte: The best croissants in DC! As buttery as they are supposed to be. Even better than many places in Paris...(trust a French guy who bake his own bread!) 😉 The moccha buns are great too!
