This restaurant just happened to be right by where I was attending a work meeting in DC so it was very convenient - and turned out to be a wonderful meal! The bread and pasta were fresh and the sauces were were perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and attentive. I come to the area a couple times per year and will definitely be back!

The food and service were both fantastic. I don’t think I’d recommend a party of eight here though, we were crammed into a booth for six and it wasn’t particularly comfortable.

The service was amazing; everyone was inviting, friendly, and helpful; you could see everyone working together to provide the best experience. Food was served as it was prepared, hot and fresh, which I loved! Every item I tried was artfully assembled to offer both an appetizing and tasty bite. I loved the uniqueness and variety the menu offered, there was something for everyone. I did find most of the dishes that advertised spicy or chilis to be spicy, but they paired so well with the refreshing nimbu pani. Overall a wonderful experience.

Overall, terrific experience! We had a reservation and were sat quickly despite a busy dining time and line out the door. Server approached quickly and was polite, friendly and accommodating. She took our order and served us our drinks right away. Shortly afterwards, our salad arrived. We mentioned we were sharing and they proactively split it into 2 bowls which was very much appreciated. The pizza followed not long after. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Since the experience was moving quickly and we had some time before the concert, we ordered the sticky toffee waffle. Definitely order one and thank me later. It was second best to GR sticky toffee pudding.

Food was delicious and was served pretty quickly, our waitress was super nice and the place is cozy with a bit of a homey feel… only drawback was the parking, which is bad in DC anyways but we will definitely be back!
