    Yal! I cannot even explain how deliciously delectable the food is here! Even if you, like me, are not a "foodie" and are not technically vegetarian or vegan, you will absolutely enjoy your meal. I usually get the Crowder Bowl (subbing out the tofu because well, yuck) and I'm always quite pleased with it. But on my last visit, I decided to take a chance on the featured buffalo cauliflower and chickpea tacos with kale slaw and vegan cream. Yal! YAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH. EMMMMM. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I cannot even begin to explain to you how amazing this tasted. The pictures speak for themselves, but let's just say that this was one of the best vegan dishes I've ever had in this entire city. A veritable feast for the eyes and the taste buds alike. If you ever see this dish on the Specials board, run don't walk to be next in line to try it. It is mmmmm, mmmmmm good!!!

    Whoops... Blurry menu!

    This cafe attached to the MOM's Organic Market is delicious, affordable and all organic. Any of the bowls you order are $8.75, which is a steal for all organic! They have great choices with pre-made mixes that have flavors that are somewhat Asian, Mexican and the like. What's more fun is making your own bowl with choices like kale and spinach for your base, and toppings like green onions, avocado, tomatoes, bell peppers, raw cashews, cucumbers, celery, carrots, beets, cauliflower, sprouts, mushrooms, red onions, etc. So good! They have delicious juices that are also super affordable like Green Tea Glory and Pink Lady. Here, they also have specials like yams with toppings or roasted cauliflower 'steaks', etc. those depend on seasonal produce. They also have in-house made muffins, frozen yogurt and soups. Because it's all vegetarian, it's pretty easy to identify if you can or cannot eat it based on wheat or dairy restrictions. If you are not sure, just ask! The food is in compostable containers, and the forks and utensils are also compostable. If you eat it in the store, there is plenty of seating!

    Cauliflower steak salad with no rice
    Aubrey W.

    I'll start with the good things: 1. Free and easy parking. 2. Healthy fast food. 3. Healthy inexpensive food, which can be a tough thing to find! 4. Large portions And now the bad: 1. If you want anything to drink besides ginger kombucha or raw juice you will need to pay for your meal and find what you want in the store and get into the grocery line to for it. If you're on your lunch break and pressed for time as I was this can be a little nerve wracking. 2. Very limited menu options for food. I eat paleo and there was nothing on the menu that was paleo friendly, unless you just wanted to drink juice. Everything has grains and there is a lot of tofu. I wound up ordering the cauliflower steak with no rice and extra spinach but was sad when I saw it get covered in probably a solid cup of dressing. It would have been AWESOME if there were an option to simply build your own salad. It was a tasty dish though so I'll give it that.

    Lin bowl!
    Nomin D.

    I came here for lunch with a coworker! We were genuinely surprised by their variety of choices!!! I got the Lin bowl which was delicious. The seaweed and kimchi really added flavor to the whole meal. My colleague got Hannah Bowl which wasn't steamed but the corn and onion added really good sharp flavor to it too! We will be definitely coming back to try to juices.

    Cauliflower Steak. Yummmmmy!
    Zee A.

    Quite frankly the best steak I've ever had! A cauliflower steak;). Roasted and seasoned to perfection. The servers were so very patient and proficient. And the lady doing the pressed juices was delightful. Feeling good right now that I fed my body right. Got it to go but next time I'll try to sit and enjoy. Whether you're vegan or not you will enjoy the selection prepared to your liking at Naked Lunch.

    Sushi bowl!
    Parker H.

    Wow blown away by this place. First time here and I got the sushi bowl. It was cheap ($8.75) and extremely generous. The counter staff were incredibly nice and suggest alternatives we might like. I am definitely coming back frequently. Definitely recommend and I'm a stickler for 5 stars

    We saw a few Ethiopian restaurants in DC and took a shot on Shewa. It's quite a ways from downtown…read moreand when we arrived, it definitely seemed like a rougher part of town. We arrived at 10:10 and the doors were locked. Called the restaurant and an employee said that they'd be open in a few minutes. A few minutes later, a man and an older woman said hi to us and went into a side door. Turns out that was the owner and his mom (the chef). They light incense in the restaurant and the odor is quite strong. I remember on Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsey yelling at someone for having scented candles because it messes with how the food tastes. Luckily, the food had enough flavor to overcome the incense. We ordered two meat combos and asked for them to give us some variety since I had never tried Ethiopian food before. The dishes came out with 16 items, with only one repeat. I can't really tell you what I ate since there were so many items, but I did really like the chicken and lamb. Very flavorful and just a fun experience from eating with our hands and the variety of options. One combo can easily feed two people. For our two adults and two kids, we had enough for leftovers. Honey wine was not my favorite thing, but the rest of the dining experience was very memorable. We were the only customers, so the owner came out and chatted with us for a while. Very friendly.

    Food was amazing!! Took our friends here for their first Ethiopian experience and they adored it…read more And not to mention the service was impeccable. 100% recommend.

    Our 2nd visit and a happier memory! Siri was our server, and we got seated on a comfortable table…read morein-spite of being late by a few mins. The place was busy on a Fri night, so highly recommend making reservations. Order included Bison Momo ($16), Blue Cheese Reshmi Kebab ($14), Spicy Nawabi Duck Kebab ($16) which indeed had a subtle enjoyable spice kick to it! Meen Pollichathu ($28) came with a very delicious Khichdi, and the Wild Mushroom Biryani ($24) continues to be a top dish at this place. Gulab Jamun ($10) was a very comforting dessert and a perfect way to end the night! Service was excellent, and food arrived within 15-mins of placing the order. Noise levels on the average end, including a rather loud table next to us where the dude was definitely buzzed. Will continue to be one of our favorite places whenever we are in DC!

    This is my second time dining at Daru & it is a favorite in the city for good reason! The first…read moretime I came (about 4 years ago), the dining room had a trendy, moody feel that made you feel like you were at the coolest spot in town & the food was packed with so much flavor. I remember we ordered the daal burrata, the bison momos (ordered a 2nd one we loved it so much), lamb shank, pesto paneer, scallops, etc). It was all perfect. Living across town, we don't come to H Street very often, so I finallyyyyy made it back after 4 years! Upon walking in, the staff were so nice and they also made sure our water cups were never empty! We ordered all the same favorites from my first time dining at Daru! This time, the food was still really good but not as flavorful as I remembered. If I were coming back, I would still order the lamb chops (so tender; cooked to perfection), the bison momos, the pesto paneer, scallops, and the garlic naan to soak up all the sauces. I would pass on the daal burrata and the potatoes though.

    We went here for a special celebration and it was lovely !…read more The ambience, service and food are all top notch. I usually take pictures but this time we just started eating straight away . some highlights: Fattoush salad - deliciously crisp and fresh, Sea bass - absolute phenomena! everyone in the table loved this dish and couldn't get more, literally melt in your mouth. The kebabs, chicken and beef were also good. Would definitely recommend this for a nice meal out.

    Unfortunately, this was not a very good experience compared to the Atlanta and Texas locations…read more I arrived around 5:00 PM as a solo diner and was greeted by two latino ladies who informed me that they would need my table back by 6:15 PM. The restaurant was only about half full, with many empty tables available, so this was surprising and did not make me feel particularly welcome. Throughout my visit, many staff members were speaking loudly to each other in Spanish, making it difficult to enjoy the atmosphere or even hear the background music. My server, however, was courteous and provided good service. As for the food, the ground beef in the Soltani was very good, but the Barg was slightly burnt and chewy. Since the meal took some time to arrive, I felt rushed to finish eating before the stated 6:15 PM deadline. For a restaurant where customers are paying premium prices, being pressured to eat quickly is not an experience I would expect or appreciate. I hope this location can improve its customer experience, as I have had much better visits at other locations.
