The food here was tasty but a tad small in portion considering the price. Service is quick and friendly. The space is pretty big but definitely gets busy on weekends. So bear in mind when it comes to wait times especially if you are trying to dine in.

The place is a solid choice. Tinterior is really nice, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe that makes it a good spot to get some work done. It's mostly a place where you walk up and order at the counter, and then they bring the food to your table. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I stopped in and tried the Turkish breakfast, which I'd definitely recommend. It's a little pricey for what you get, but the overall experience makes it worth it. My plate came with eggs, sausage, lots of fresh fruit, walnuts, and a few pieces of bread. The vegetables were crisp and the honey and jam were a nice touch. The menu says Nutella is included, but I got strawberry jam and honey instead. The eggs and sausage were tasty but a bit oily. I still finished everything, but next time I might ask if they can ease up on the oil.

Breakfast burrito

I've passed this place so many times and have been wanting to check it out. My friend and I came for lunch one day - super cozy, good for working too. I wanted the Turkish breakfast but didn't think he was interested in a full spread. But I'll be coming back and I'll get it next time! He got the breakfast burrito and really liked it! Said it was very hearty too. I got the smoked salmon omelet and it was no joke! They don't skimp you. Our meal was delicious! Oh and the honey cinnamon latte was so yummy. I also noticed they sell beer and wine - that's dope! Great spot to hang with friends in the evenings.

Decided to swing by East West in Arlington with my boyfriend for breakfast. I ordered an iced matcha honey latte and a smoked salmon omelette. Both were delicious and came out very quickly. My boyfriend just grabbed a bottle of orange juice but he enjoyed his breakfast burrito sandwich. It's a self ordering service however they do bring your food to where you're seated, just not your beverages. The establishment is always a large and open cafe feel with plenty of people studying or doing work at tables. There's plenty of outlets so it's the perfect place to get work done at.

Eggs Benedict
Teresa B.

I said to my hubby "We must go here for breakfast" after I met a friend here for breakfast. I love the concept 1) You look at the beautifully photographed menu I have ever seen 2) You pay for your meal 3) They bring it to you. I had the smoked salmon eggs benefit which will be MY DISH when I return. The egg was perfectly runny, the salmon was smokey deliciousness and the potatoes were not overly seasoned to perfection. The service ambiance and price were well balanced. A repeat visit is definitely in my future!

Honey Cinnamon Latte
Serena X.

Great service, as the server recommended me their honey cinnamon latte. It is the perfect amount of sweetness. Inside, there's a great atmosphere for working or chatting. Clear they foster a great community space and I will be returning!

Latte

I have to say that East West was definitely in one of our have to try books! It was recommended and we had to give it a try. The service was excellent our waiter was super helpful with any questions that we had. The food was something new for my family and we got enough portions for all three adults I was full to my limits! Super yummy!! The only problem we had was that we didn't have sugar for our coffee but I should have just asked for some instead. For parking you will have to look on the street. I look forward to coming back soon!! :)

Chicken kabob
Maria K.

Great casual cafe for weekend brunches. They have their entire menu available for brunch - you order at the register and they bring out the food to your table. I got the Turkish tea and chicken kabob. The kabob was delicious and came with couscous, vegetables, and a small yogurt sauce.

Stopped in for a solo lunch after an appointment in the area and loved every bit of it! The interior of East West is cozy and inviting with plenty of space to sit, chat, eat, work. The outdoor area (shown in the photo) is pretty big, with brick patio below and string lights above. I had an iced matcha latte with oat milk and the Buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was delicious. Would return!

It's really a terrific presentation and the dish is nicely presented. The chicken cutlet was thick and juicy, the crust was crispy and the sauce was thick and delicious.

We were very excited when we saw our pasta burning inside the huge round cheese! But I wish it had more flavor, salt and black pepper. It really was plain and the pasta was a bit over cooked.

Our server was friendly too.

My first impression of Ser was its ambiance - nice mood lighting, comfy seats, and just the right amount of ambient noise. We had a reservation (recommended!) and were quickly ushered to our seats and given menus. The waiter was courteous, prompt (always re-filling our water glasses), and helpful when we had questions about the menu (e.g., about which wine he preferred). This was our first (but not last) time visiting Ser, and our initial foray into the menu was pretty basic. My wife and I split the jarrete de cordero (lamb shank), three tapas dishes (croquetas, pan Catalana, and berenjenas [fried eggplant]), and two cheeses. My wife's favorite tapas was the pan catalana, which was bright and slightly salty/sweet in flavor with great texture in the balance between the crispness of the bread and the softness of the tomato. I preferred the croquetas, each of which coated my mouth with the warmth of hot cheese and rich meat. The lamb shank consisted of a massive piece of meat on the bone, resting on a bad of mashed potatoes and slices of sweet peppers. The lamb itself was what it should be: thick, tender, and juicy with a rich, slightly gamey flavor. The addition of the mash and peppers made it even better, and I can say that this is the first time that I actually enjoyed peppers - before I just tolerated them, even in my own cooking. These peppers paired perfectly with the mash and lamb, and I relished every bite. I would be tempted to order this same thing again on our next visit, but I have to know what the meat paella is like. Anyway, it all paired perfectly with the Spanish tempranillo (that our waiter helped me select). I would be remiss if I did not talk about our to-go box. The lamb was too much for us (and by "us", I mean my wife, who was not up to the task of eating her share of the main course), and we asked for this to be boxed to take home with us. And I was blown away when the remains of our dinner were brought back to us already deboned (but with the bone included). I found this to be above and beyond, as I was not looking forward to cutting that meat off the bone (to put in my next day's lunch, which was glorious), not the least because I am not very good at doing this. And that we still got the lamb bone meant either stock for a stew or sharing a treat with our four-legged housemate. We really appreciated this!

WOW WOW & WOW!!! This cafe is a unique hidden gem with AMAZING food and service!…read more For starters before I get to the food aspect, our server Bailey was just phenomenal. The service we received from her was by far the best service I have received in a very long time here in the DMV. I actually stopped dining out as much as I used to because service has declined over the past few years sadly to say. She was patient, made suggestions on some tasty meals but most importantly, had a great personality that you can tell is authentic & genuine which made a simple girls brunch that much more memorable. Now as the food.....I'll just say this, DELICIOUS! My friends and I shared different items on the menu for brunch from hors d'oeuvres to main course down to dessert. When I say EVERYTHING was super tasty I seriously mean it. We had the mussels, pasta, sea bass, and more in which the chef made each platter with a unique twist for each. All this to say is you must try this cafe. I had to write this review because it truly deserves a 5+ star for its meals/drinks, ambiance but to me most importantly the service. If you are lucky enough to have Bailey, I promise she won't disappoint you. Thank you for the wonderful experience and food

So, a friend has always been a fan of this place but just hadn't been in many, many years, so she opted to celebrate her birthdate here. The location has plenty of parking available with very kind and welcoming staff. Our party was quickly seated and greeted by our waiter. For starters, we had the Salad Maison and the La Cachat, which was very appetizing. My friend had the Potato Crusted Salmon, which was my favorite dish that we ordered. It was cooked and flavored perfectly for my taste buds. Another dish that a guest from our party had was sea bass (Loup De Mar), which I also enjoyed. This dish also was big in portion size. My dish was the Steak Frites which was cooked medium, however, it wasn't as juicy or flavorful as I desired. I also took the opportunity to try the Ridoir which was strong yet tasty. Overall, we had a great experience.

The restaurant had our orders ready when we got there and they were 100% accurate and well organized. My interaction with them was very limited, but the staff was nice enough. There is metered street parking available for those wishing to park here, but that parking is somewhat difficult to get. We ended up parking in a loading zone area, running in and getting our food. They serve items such as Russian soups and salads, desserts, shashlyk, vareniki, goluptsi, plov, beef stroganoff, chicken kiev, pelmeni, and dolma. They also have beer, wine, infused vodka shots and mixed drinks to wash your food down. I ordered Manti and a slice of Russian Honey Cake. My food was really good. The cake was delicious as well. My major complaint, as well as everyone else in my group, was that the portion size was very small, especially considering the price. Most of us were still hungry after eating our meal. But again, the food was tasty. This is a great place to get you Russian food fix. The food is good, I just wish that there was more of it.
