I saw that Yelp DC had an event at Oasis , and the food looked good! I happened to be in the area today and decided to give it a try. It's off of New Jersey Ave, but there's a parking lot - Already a good sign! When we entered, we were greeted and told to sit wherever. The decor was very nice and the lighting and music made for a nice vibe. All of the other tables had hookah, but we were just there for food.
I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which came with fries. Once the sandwich came out, I immediately noticed that it was different than the menu described. The sandwich was missing some of the elements/ingredients that were listed in the description. The fries were also plain, although the menu said "seasoned" - plain as in no salt , no nothing. Unfortunately, I ended up sending the food back.
I would visit again for drinks or maybe happy hour. The ambiance and service were enough for me to want to give them another chance. I feel like the place has a lot of potential. The bartender explained that they're still pretty new and are experiencing some growing pains (new scaled back menu, new chef ... ). If you enjoy hookah, that seemed to be popular with the other guests. They also have a couple tvs that were showing the game. read more
