Behrad EatsMay 6, 2015The Khachapuri is their most popular dish for good reason! This delicious dish consists of cheese-filled bread, and organic egg, and local butter. I bet you can't order just one!
Elizabeth BursteinJune 16, 2018Really cool eclectic food. Def get the khachapuri, the barramundi, the chicken skewers, and the el pastor tacos. Avoid the compass rose drink unless you like the taste of rose wash :)
Shrutika SachdevOctober 4, 2015The theme here is Street Foods from around the world in small plates to share, and they do a great job at execution! Now open for weekend Brunch as well!
- Behrad EatsMay 6, 2015You'll find some fantastic and unique cocktails like the Not Worth the Sin in Rome made with Michter's bourbon, averna, orange grasp berry juice, and vanilla bean.
ketzirah lesserFebruary 12, 2017Took about an hour to get a table. Had a drink at Bar Pilar, to pass the time. Everything was delicious, and the P3 G&T was fantastic.
- ArzuApril 12, 2015What a lovely place! I even got to meet the owner Rose.you must try khachapuri,popusas,Brussels sprouts,trevise salad- all really great and tasty! Oh and try their georgian wine too!
Christopher WestcottAugust 7, 2014Just finished eating there. The American sausages were amazing. The mustard is spicy and the sausage was delicious; better yet, they were covered in cornbread!
- Aleksandra ArcipowskaMarch 23, 2020I am getting hungry coming to this profile just to leave the review. They are insanely good. I enjoyed every single dish, but what I loved is the diverse many. Njam njam!
Micah ChilesMarch 11, 2017Interesting place where you think it'd be hard to be good at so many different flavor profiles. Khachapuri was the star, but other dishes like the Jamaican curry, bhel puri chaat were also great.
Alyssa ZhuDecember 12, 2015Such a unique dining experience!! I love the concept of tapas around the world. The food is delicious and service is nice, but the restaurant is very loud so it's hard to hear.
Brooke HardingOctober 23, 2019One word: Khachapurri. The entire menu is always fantastic but this cheesy bread boat is really their staple dish.
AmateurConciergeJune 28, 2018Cool kitschy spot that may have the most culturally diverse menu I’ve seen. Focus is on street food from all diff countries. Hipster vibes- Jarlath BloomApril 16, 2014The Khachapuri is like amazing delicious Georgian pizza. The lomitas (pork sandwich) is also a delight.
- Andre FranciscoMay 2, 2014Some of the main plates were pretty small (lamb kabob, salad) but the sandwiches were a good size and super delicious. Also don't miss the Georgian pizza.
Kurt JJune 5, 2014The Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread) is a must have! Let your inner fatty loose!
Great vibes. Great music. Great staff. An absolute favorite of mine.
Angie HarmonMarch 9, 2016Obviously the khachapuri is amazing, but so is everything else on the brunch menu.
Yong KwonFebruary 28, 2015Smallish menu. Great flavors. Not so great prices, but worth it for the right dishes.
Rachel KSeptember 10, 2021The strawberry shortcake dessert was easily the best thing I had during my tasting menu.
Izzie MLJuly 1, 2017Everything is good here! Have the namesake drink at the bar while you wait for your table, you won't regret it!
Montaign G.June 30, 2017Khachapuri, brussel sprouts, shishito peppers, flank steak with chimichirri!
Named after the lovely owner, Rose. She got the chef from Jaleo. Georgian street food is their specialty, so enjoy!
Leandro LageraMay 28, 2016Eclectic street food menu with a progressive vibe. The owners are amazing. Go here now.
Karen ElizabethDecember 29, 2014All the bartenders are great, but Janelle is awesome. Wonderful service, good strong + tasty drinks
Hyder RamatalaSeptember 9, 2017The Bedouin tent in the back is absolutely the way to go to try the whole menu
Hostesses are real gems. Not. The policy to put your name on the waitlist requires to have the full party there is absolutely ridiculous for a neighborhood place.
Lorena Ruiz DomínguezSeptember 26, 2016One of the best places in DC. Kachapuri, anticuchos and snails are probably my favourites
Love for date night. The grilled calamari is incredible as are the cocktails.
C SGMarch 9, 2016a lot of international foods : Georgian, Salvadorian, Korean. Try the Miso Short ribs.
Graham CampbellJuly 12, 2014Cool spot but the prices for alcohol are too high. I love Narragansett but its not $6 on its best day. And $15 for a cocktail not at the Gibson seems extreme.
Eric BreeseNovember 21, 2015Go once, no more. Loud, dim, but with excellent service and varied menu.
Anthony BeharryJune 5, 2014Try the fried baked potato with the aioli from the pescadito...dito to the other tips
Akshay AnikhindiFebruary 23, 2015Waited two hours for a table. Not kidding. Why they don't allow reservations or calling ahead is beyond me. The food is good, but NOT worth the two hour wait. Service was slow.
Josh BurrisJuly 12, 2014Worst hostess encountered in DC in many years. One thing if your restaurant has a terrible waitlist policy (it does), another thing altogether if she is rude and pretentious. Food not worth service.
