Came here for brunch Saturday and it was SUCH a great experience. We got to seat at the rooftop area which was very nice on a breezy summer day. The restaurant itself is very spacious and the indoor space is beautiful too, so don't worry if you don't get the rooftop seat. Service was great, our server Josh was very attentive and exuded a vibrant energy, matching the restaurant vibe :) Food was amazing! The hummus and pita was my favorite. To be honest, the pita bread was so good I ate it without the hummus. Crispy cauliflower was good, but not as great as I'd hoped it to be - wished I ordered something else. The doughnut was so tasty! Soft and chewy, the zesty sauced made it even better. Overall, flavors hit the spot for me - I would definitely want to come back to try their dinner food. read more

I want to know what's going on in their Kitchen... because this place is awesome! First, the ambience and aesthetic was instagram worthy. They have an upstairs and downstairs (happy hour at the bars). There is plenty of seating and didn't need to have a reservation for happy hour. Second, the happy hour food and drinks were a good bang for your buck (considering DC prices). I tried the espresso martini and my friend had the spritz. The spritz was a bit too sweet for my taste. We had the plater and the hummus and naan was amazing. I would go back for the naan alone! Overall, this place checks all the boxes aesthetics, service, food and drinks. read more

This place showcases a fusion of cuisines from different countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It's meant to be shared tapas styles with a group of people. They had recommended 2 small dishes per person or one large dish per person. We ordered - crispy cauliflower - spiced fried chicken - beef kebab - lacquered half chicken - green goddess salad - hummus bil lahme - baklava cast iron pie Don't be tricked by the boring menu and names of the dishes. They have one of the most underwhelming menu descriptions I've seen. They should probably get someone to re-write their menu descriptions. Every dish we ordered ended up served with a special sauce and pairings that highly enhances the taste. The half chicken was so tender and delicious and I can't get over how amazing the white sauce that came with it tasted. (We later found out from the waiter it's called "toum"). The crispy cauliflower was one of the best I've had. The couscous underneath the beef kebabs was soaked with the savory meats juices along with the flavorful seasonings. The flatbread served with the hummus was so tasty we had to order a second slice. (Which is an extra $3-7 charge I can't remember). The green goodness salad is refreshing and unique. The only item that I wasn't impressed with was the baklava cast iron pie from the desserts menu. It was overly sweet and didn't quite remind me of a baklava but more of a pecan pie type of texture and consistency. This is my favorite restaurant in DC! read more

GK is one of the best places to meet up with friends in the city! I really appreciate that the hosts will seat guests when the full party isn't present yet. It makes it so easy to meet up with friends after work when we're all traveling from different places. The food is also amazing - I've been here countless times and the quality has never wavered. The small dishes make for a compelling way to connect with friends by sharing food, but they also serve large plates for those who aren't as interested in sharing. I can't end this review without mentioning the quality of the service staff. GK's hosts, food runners/bussers, servers, and bartenders always make me feel welcome. I always leave happy and excited to come back. read more

Late-night strolls...plates to share...and rooftop lounging??? Sounds like a great Thursday night! This place I found on yelp. We wanted a date night and definitely, this place did not miss!!! Food was delicious!! Drinks were doing their thing () and the service...was truly incredible. Inside and out this place is gorgeous. It's perfect for that sexy date night whether 1st date or 5+ years. It's also cute for a girls' night out, but super romantic for couples. Anastasia (hope I spelled it right) by far exceeded all expectations of an incredible experience. I come from the service industry and we all know ppl can be you know whats. She was absolutely warm...hospitable and showed what a smile with service really means. I'd say we'd be back but we aren't from the area. So if you're visiting... check it out. If you're a local...Def try this out read more

Before I moved to DC, I came to look for apartments, and my family decided to stop by Gypsy--and we were so pleasantly surprised. I'm a total sucker for a cute restaurant, and Gypsy definitely checked that box! The vibe was charming, and the concept of Middle Eastern tapas made the experience even more exciting. The food was surprisingly filling, and everything we ordered was full of flavor. I've since moved into an apartment just a few blocks away and have already been back a couple more times! The servers were wonderful and very accommodating--especially for my brother, who's vegan. It can be tough to find places that handle dietary restrictions well, but they made it easy. Also, the chicken was cooked perfectly, which I always worry about since so many places tend to overcook it. Not here! read more

Wrapping up a family meal here at Gypsy Kitchen DC. It is our first time here and I am glad we drove here to try it. The establishment is decorated nicely. The music is not too loud, and gives it a club vibe. The staff is friendly and do a good job explaining the menu items, and the lay of the land for weekend brunches. The menu has some unique items. We had the Chef's Board, Falafel, Dirty Bravas, Kefta Burger, and Tunisian chicken sandwiches. All good choices and good quality items. I had the Tunisian chicken sandwich; it was very flavorful and moist. Normally, that would be heavy for me, but this one was not. I'd come back. Maybe during the week to try items that are not part of the brunch menu. read more

Gypsy kitchen is an upscale Mediterranean spot in DC. Was hoping to dine upstairs but it was raining (open rooftop) The food was okay. Wasn't. Over the top for me. I had the salmon galvax. I thought the portion size was microscopic... but I didn't complain because Im trying to be skinny. I also tried the cauliflower appetizer. It was sweet and crispy with a creamy yogurt sauce. My partner had the fried chicken sandwich which she enjoyed. The cocktails were stiff the service was fast. I really enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake the most read more

I went there for dinner on a Sunday evening. We had a reservation for 4, and were lucky enough to get a table on the roof deck without wait. It was pretty full up there, while they had many open tables downstairs. The roofdeck is nicely set up as they can cover it if needed. The waitress immediately greeted us as we sat down and brought us drinks. We ordered a variety of small and large dishes to share. I am gluten free and they were able to accommodate most dishes for me. The hummus bil lahme came with flatbread, and they brought veggies so I could dip in it too. The meat was lamb shoulder, it came out very tender and juicy. The meat melts in your mouth and is well marinated. This dish was actually my favorite on the menu. A must! The arugula salad was very tasty and exceeded my expectations. The grapes were a nice touch to cut the bitterness. The tiger prawns were ok, nothing special there. They come on a bed of couscous (gluten), so I had to eat around it. The crispy cauliflower was adjusted to be gluten free. They did not bread it, and seared it. I particularly liked presentation of this dish. It is topped with dried fruits and accompanied of tahini sauce (which I though could have used more lemon). The chicken was nice, a bit sweet. It comes with a garlic whip and a red hot sauce. Both sauces were a bit strong to me, overpowering the flavor. The garlic whip was still good though, I used it (in small amounts) on both the chicken and steak. The steak was good, but again nothing particular about the meat. It came with a nice puree. The large dish section was a bit underwhelming. There wasn't enough of a mediterranean touch in my opinion. I personally would have preferred to see kebabs or lamb instead of steak. Overall, I think it's a solid restaurant and it is very reasonably priced. Though I felt the kitchen was a little slow with longer than expected pauses between courses. read more

My friends and I tried a variety of the small plates at Gypsy Kitchen, including their hummus, falafel, cauliflower, and pork. We also ordered some of their specialty drinks, which are about $15-20 each. Their dishes were good, but I was let down by the portion size. The cauliflower dish had at most 6 solid pieces of cauliflower to split amongst our group. For the price we paid, the portions were tiny. There are a lot of Mediterranean options in DC, and I think this place sits at the middle. The dishes are layered with fun flavors, but it is not the most bang for your buck. read more

First time going here with some friends. Gorgeous and not crowded at all when we went on a Saturday afternoon; we did not have a reservation but we were seated at the bar for about 10 min while we waited for them to clean and setup a table for us. We ordered a bunch of items off the menu to share: - I got a El Circo mocktail which was yummy and tart - the crispy cauliflower and relish was DELISHHH - pita was amazing I loved it, ate it with both hummus and labneh!! - the grilled broccolini panzanella was a pleasant surprise for me and I really enjoyed it - Shakshuka was the only thing that was not good - the spices were weird, the eggs were a little too under done for my liking and it didn't taste like typical shakshuka which was very offputting. Sam, our server, made us feel very comfortable, and so we told him that one dish was not good and he apologized and removed it from the bill for us. He was very kind and I appreciated his service! I would definitely return as most of the food was delicious and service was very good! read more

We had a group of 7 celebrating a 21st birthday. We shared 22 small plates, 2 Chefs Board and 6 desserts. And there were cocktails of course. The food was really good. But the bread that comes with the hummus/dips, topped with melted butter and garlic, is AMAZING. The biggest disappointment was our table and service. We chose this restaurant because of its patio seating. Instead of that beautiful spot perfect for our type of celebration, we were seated inside and next to the kitchen entrance. Our server also wasn't as attentive as we felt he should have been, however, he also looked to be working way too many tables, so maybe they were short-staffed. And later, after closer review of the receipt, it appears they charged us for an extra dessert that the server presented when acknowleding the birthday. Would we go back? It's pretty expensive and with ambience/service a little iffy, that's a maybe. read more

Super cute interior! The overall experience is great, and I love that you can order a variety of dishes to share. The hummus and branzino are especially fantastic. read more

Love the vibe and ambiance at Gypsy Kitchen. Bookmarked this place for our trip and it was definitely worth it. For tapas, we had the duck prosciutto- thinly sliced smoke flavored pieces with just the right touch of fat at the edges per slice with grainy mustard. Chorizo was super fresh soft and tart to taste. Salami was aged and delicious. Barrel aged feta tasted absolutely divine. Fresh baked flatbread crisp, soft, and chewy all in one paired with hummus. Nomada was the perfect cocktail to wash everything down. Definitely worth popping in to tickle your tastebuds. - Minus one star for lack of entree choices. read more

TL;DNR - ambiance is quiet and good for date night (but we went at 10p on a Thursday), service was quick (in and out in ~50 minutes), and the food overall was good. Star knocked off for drink tasting like grapefruit instead of passionfruit, wrong (but delicious) order error, batter being too thick for my taste on the fried cauliflower, and the whipped cream on the dessert wasn't "spiced." Ambiance: We got here around ten on a Thursday night and it was pretty quiet. The lighting is dim and seems like it would be a nice date night spot. I picked it because it was open late and it had great reviews. It's not a noisy restaurant, but it could have been because it was so late in the evening with only 4 parties eating. Service: We got seated pretty quickly and they gave us paper menus as well as water. The server (Julio) informed us that since it's tapas style, it should be about 2 small dishes per person and one main. We weren't super hungry, so we just got 3 tapas and a dessert. Everything came out pretty quickly - from the time we got our menus to the time we ordered and got our tapas was under 10 minutes. By the time we finished dessert it was under an hour. Julio and staff were attentive, but not overbearing. Food/drink: I got the La Murga drink, which was comprised of tequila blanco, campari, passionfruit, lime. I'm not sure what juice they used for the drink, but it didn't taste like passionfruit and tasted more like a red grapefruit juice. I don't know if it was because there's lime juice in it, but it didn't taste quite right. It was still tasty, so i didn't knock a star off because maybe my taste buds were off this day. We ordered the hummus and flatbread, but accidentally got the lamb shoulder hummus instead. We were so hungry that we just ate this mistake up and it was delicious. The lamb wasn't gamey, but it was spiced nicely and flavorful. You could easily pull the meat apart. The only thing that kinda threw me off was the flatbread. It was tasty, but it was kinda sweet, which wasn't what i was expecting. It was toasted on the outside and spongey and soft on the inside. It was easy to grab the hummus. The green goddess salad tasted hearty and wasn't overly dressed. It had cut up asparagus spears and peas in it, which i wouldn't have personally thought to have added onto a salad, but i might have to start doing this at home. It made it more robust and substantial - very enjoyable mouth feel rather than just leaves. The only thing that sucked about this salad was that there was only a single artichoke (and it does read "artichoke" on the menu as singular). The crispy cauliflower dish was very tasty, but was battered more than my personal preference. The lemon tahina dip was fantastic, but the highlight was the sweet fried fruit relish on top. My first bite didn't include the relish and i thought it was just fine, but the second bite with the added relish, dip, and pistachio was *chef's kiss*. The added textures, differing flavors made it worth trying. We got the "burnt" basque cheesecake for dessert. The cheesecake was fluffy and light compared to most cheesecakes. The berry compote was a nice addition that wasn't overly sweet. The cream didn't taste "spiced" to me and just tasted like regular whipped cream - nothing special. Overall i would recommend this spot because the food was very good. The service was excellent and the reason why i knocked a star off was because the drink tasted more like grapefruit juice and not passionfruit, the cauliflower batter was thicker than my personal preference, and the whipped cream on the dessert didn't taste spiced. Oh and our server misheard our order, but that was a delicious mistake in the end, and we ate it, even though my friend doesn't eat red meat anymore. read more

Had the cheese board and halloumi salad. Both were delicious. The upstairs patio dining is also great. We ended up having to cancel our next two tapas though because at 10 til 8 we had to leave for a show. We arrived at 6:45 and we never actually interacted with our server. Instead, we flagged a bartender who took care of our order (and the couple next to us). He deserves a raise. He was clearly doing the work of two people, but it just wasn't enough to make up for the slow service in the end. Maybe just a bad night. Wouldn't be opposed to trying again since the food, what we had, was so good. read more

I came here as my first weekend back in DC and it was such a great choice. The 5 of us celebrated life and a friends golden birthday and she was surprised with the flan dessert that was served with some type of orange like clementine or something idk but I loved it! Those who like flan liked it at my table lol. We also got the cheesecake which was amazing! It had this flaky thing at the bottom not sure if that was intentional or not it was lowkey giving paper just flaky layers I guess but it was 9/10! I got the fried chicken Sandy served with potato's instead of greens. Pretty good! Honestly we came because my best friend had such a good experience with her parents who visited from Chicago and raved about the hummus. Her mom is from Greece so that meant a lot. We all loved the hummus. Like that doesn't even do it justice. Moaning literally like truly feral at the table it was so good. That alone is 11/10. I could eat 3 servings of that seriously. Go there just to try it. Also so affordable! We all got stuff and split it and ended up spending about 30-40 a person. Chorizo sauce was cheesy sauce not overpowering potato's perfect crisp on top." From my friend who got the Dirty Bravas Love the ambiance too. Really cute! Waitress was cool. Kinddaaaaa slow and it wasn't that busy but hey no complaints at all. read more

Pretty solid spot for tapas! My friend and I sat out on their heated rooftop which is more like an enclosed, elevated patio than a rooftop. The ambiance was still really cool and I liked the decorations throughout the entire restaurant. The drinks were pretty good as well. My only complaint is that they won't allow you to change anything about their cocktails. For example, there was a mezcal drink on the menu that I really wanted but instead of mezcal, I wanted just regular silver tequila. They wouldn't allow me to substitute it at all which made me think the cocktails might be premixed? The tapas were good, small portions and kinda expensive - exactly what you'd expect from a DC tapas place. It all came out super quick though. I liked that everything was clearly marked gluten free too. We enjoyed the potatoes, the arugula salad and the falafels. We were left feeling satisfied but not too overly full. I wouldn't say I'm running to go back since nothing was super remarkable but I wouldn't NOT recommend it I suppose. All in all, pretty good. read more

Great service that accommodated our 8 person table. My partner and I got several plates to share, the cauliflower, patatas bravas, and lamb.

The dining experience at Gypsy kitchen had its highs and lows . I was meeting a friend for drinks and the location was conveniently close to 14th and U making it easy to get to for him. The passionfruit cocktail La Murga looked like a cream circle, and was visually stunning, but the flavor was unexpected. Not that sweet as you would think. The Mediterranean tapas plates like fresh crispy, falafel spicy, and juicy lamb Kefta and a refreshing beet salad impressed both of us. However, the entryway was awkwardly configured making the first impression a bit clunky. Still, it was a feast of both flavors and quick service. read more

I am ecstatic about Gypsy Kitchen! The food was amazing, and the service was great. The restaurant is trendy, so it stays busy. It was loud and bustling while we were there. I had a reservation for 4 people on a Friday, and we were seated right when we got there. Our server was very pleasant and explained all the specials. The menu is tapas style, and the dishes are mostly Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. I ordered the Canela y Sol cocktail, which was delicious and not too sweet. Then I had a mocktail later on that was also flavorful. Our menu favorites included the Halloumi cheese (special), the roasted beet salad, falafel, lamb hummus, and hamachi crudo. I felt like this was the best spread of tapas I had tried in a while. I enjoyed every single dish! I would definitely come back here. Great place to bring friends or guests from out of town. read more

I visited for my mom's bday and would recommend this spot for any locals or tourists. If you're going for drinks, I think 2 tapas ("small plates") per two people is perfect. If you're going for more of a dinner style, I would recommend 1 tapa and sharing two large meals family style. I definitely recommend trying the Hummus Bil Lahme. The Branzino and lamb were also great. Their orange flan is AMAZING and probably the highlight of the night. The true star was our server, Andrew. He was kind, attentive, and patient. I will definitely be returning. read more

Solid 4/5 - nothing more, nothing less. Definitely make a reservation in advance because it was pretty busy even on a Monday night. Gypsy Kitchen has a lot of small plate options so my friend and I were able to try a few along with a large plate and dessert. In total, we paid about $120 after tax + tip with very full bellies and some leftovers, which is cheaper than we thought. Our server was also very attentive and made sure we had enough water and came back frequently to check in on us. HUMMUS & FLATBREAD - 13 The hummus was good, with lots of herbs and sunflower seeds, very flavorful. But wow, the clear winner here was that flatbread. While it was too oily for my liking, the texture and flavors really wowed my friend and me. It has a slightly tough chew (in a good way) on the outside but the bread itself was soft. I don't know how to describe this but it was wonderful, HAHA. And definitely don't skimp out on the hummus. It went so well with the flatbread, truly a perfect match. This is a great choice for appetizers. CRISPY CAULIFLOWER - 15 The lemon tahina and dried fruit relish were beautiful touches for this appetizer, but the crispy cauliflowers themselves felt short. The breading was super soggy and unenjoyable, like it's been sitting next to a window and they forgot about it. My friend and I would have preferred if the cauliflower were just stir-fried without the breading. Overall, not a fan. MUSHROOM TOAST - 15 This comes with one ciabatta with lots and lots and lots of mushrooms, goat cheese, topped with a poached egg and some herbs garnished on top. The bread was crispy, yet soft. The goat cheese (soft and whipped) was so deep and strong, which paired well with both the sautéed mushrooms and egg. Because of the cheese, this appetizer alone filled me up pretty quickly and it was very delicious. To all the mushroom lovers reading this long review, this one is for you. TIROKROKETES - 12 Deep fried balls of cheese? My friend got this one for herself and gave me half a bite. Definitely very cheesy and stringy. Lots of good quality cheeses with a solid, fried breading. My friend really enjoyed it and I liked the small bite I had. LACQUERED HALF CHICKEN - 27 You get a lot of chicken - a big piece of chicken breast and a big piece of chicken drumstick/wings (not really sure because my friend took this one) - sitting on top of a well seasoned and spiced rice pilaf. They also give you a generous portion of harissa and a garlic based sauce which goes well with both the chicken and rice. I'm surprised how juicy the chicken breast was, and the skin was well brined and marinated, super crispy upon first bite. Definitely the most affordable large plate option, so if you need your protein, this one is a solid choice. LOUKOUMADES - 9 This is six pieces of fried dough with some sugar sprinkled on top. Then there was a sweet dip made out of pistachios and vanilla cream that enhanced the crispy doughs. The sugar definitely gave it a nice sweet kick (so that you wouldn't be too bored if you didn't eat the bite with some dip) and good crunchy texture. The dip wasn't too sweet and a great combination. Not sure if it was worth 9.00, but out of all the dessert choices, we went with the option that was the least heavy. Overall, I was most impressed with the hummus & flatbread and mushroom toast. Everything else was good but nothing mind-blowing. Definitely a solid choice for Mediterranean on 14th Street as my friend and I had a great time. read more

Overall: 4.1/5 (dine in) We made a reservation for 10 PM which is half an hour before the kitchen closed. They sat us upstairs by the bar but there was a huge birthday party of like ~20 people so it was loud. We ordered after we were seated since we looked at the menu beforehand and the food came out immediately. Smoked Duck Prosciutto ($10): This was good but not as amazing as I thought it would be. The duck flavor is more on the subtle side. The crackers were borderline stale and didn't add any taste. Mushroom Toast ($15): This was really good and my favorite out of all the dishes. They were generous with the mushrooms and all the flavors were on point. Chicken Kapama ($16): This was also really good and different for us. Would be better if it can with a side of rice since eating it by itself was too much after a few bites. Canela y Sol ($15): This is a mezcal based drink with elderflower, grapefruit, cinnamon, & lime. It was much better than the Atravete but nothing special. I would skip the cocktails here altogether and go somewhere else. Atravete ($14): This is a vodka based drink with kiwi, lemon, and mint. It was not good and very light. Hard pass. read more

We recently had dinner at Gypsy kitchen and in a town as busy as dc, we're we're happy to find that we could get a last minute reservation at a reasonable time. We leaned in hard to their small plates ordering the hummus and labne (this was so good!) to start. Go ahead and order the extra flat bread. It's amazing and one is just not enough. We then got the cauliflower and halloumi which to be honest the star of both dishes was the fruit garnish which really complimented to dishes. Our last plate was the croquettas and honestly they just weren't for us. They were basically liquid inside and not super appealing. My only complaint for the night was that they didn't time our plates at all so we literally ran out of space on the table. We were rushing to finishing things rather than enjoy them to make room which was a shame. Overall I would recommend giving them a try! read more

Always love a good happy hour! Had the sombra y sol to drink and it was delicious! Sweet but not overly sweet which is key for me. Tried the gypsy trio-the BREAD was AMAZING!! Perfect with the hummus and labneh. Also tried the crispy chicken which was for sure a fave! Slightly sweet so it had a very good sweet and savory mix. The tirokroketes were pretty good-I wish they were a little warmer but also crispy cheese with honey is always going to be great. Lastly we tried the lamb which was a delicious little bite. read more

Gypsy Kitchen DC - Trio Crispy chicken - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Absolutely wonderful food, good* service, great ambiance. This was our second time dining at Gypsy Kitchen, and the food never disappoints. Favorites: the Hummus bil Lahme, Crispy Cauliflower, Patatas Bravas (although I have to point out that they're NOT "crispy" in any sense), and the Croquettas. Not a fan of the griddled Halloumi, despite trying it on both visits: average at best. The Branzino and Lacquered Half Chicken are wonderful. *Now for the negative: when we ordered on this second visit, I asked our waiter if he'd course things out, and he assured us that that would be the case. Of course, everything came out all at once. And, naturally, it was a "computer problem". Come on, Gypsy Kitchen, get your act together. To their credit, they comped one of the small plates. We'll be back, despite this hiccup. read more
