Behrad Eats

The Khachapuri is their most popular dish for good reason! This delicious dish consists of cheese-filled bread , and organic egg , and local butter. I bet you can't order just one!

Eater

The sheer diversity of this neighborhood restaurant 's small menu is impressive, and the kitchen manages to excel at a number of different cuisines, ranging from South American to Georgian. Read more

Get the khachapuri . It's a Georgian dish resembling a cheese , butter, and egg calzone . It’s more addictive than Double-Stuffed Oreos . Also spring for the deep-fried baked potato . Read more

Elizabeth Burstein

Really cool eclectic food. Def get the khachapuri , the barramundi , the chicken skewers , and the el pastor tacos . Avoid the compass rose drink unless you like the taste of rose wash :)

Behrad Eats

You'll find some fantastic and unique cocktails like the Not Worth the Sin in Rome made with Michter's bourbon , averna, orange grasp berry juice , and vanilla bean .

Shrutika Sachdev

The theme here is Street Foods from around the world in small plates to share, and they do a great job at execution! Now open for weekend Brunch as well !

Arzu

Took about an hour to get a table. Had a drink at Bar Pilar, to pass the time. Everything was delicious, and the P3 G&T was fantastic.

Micah Chiles

Interesting place where you think it'd be hard to be good at so many different flavor profiles. Khachapuri was the star, but other dishes like the Jamaican curry , bhel puri chaat were also great.

Aleksandra Arcipowska

I am getting hungry coming to this profile just to leave the review. They are insanely good. I enjoyed every single dish, but what I loved is the diverse many. Njam njam!

Alyssa Zhu

Such a unique dining experience!! I love the concept of tapas around the world. The food is delicious and service is nice, but the restaurant is very loud so it's hard to hear.

Christopher Westcott

Just finished eating there. The American sausages were amazing. The mustard is spicy and the sausage was delicious; better yet, they were covered in cornbread !

AmateurConcierge

Cool kitschy spot that may have the most culturally diverse menu I’ve seen. Focus is on street food from all diff countries . Hipster vibes

Jarlath Bloom

The Khachapuri is like amazing delicious Georgian pizza . The lomitas (pork sandwich ) is also a delight.

Andre Francisco

Some of the main plates were pretty small (lamb kabob , salad ) but the sandwiches were a good size and super delicious. Also don't miss the Georgian pizza .

Brooke Harding

One word: Khachapurri. The entire menu is always fantastic but this cheesy bread boat is really their staple dish.

Angie Harmon

Obviously the khachapuri is amazing, but so is everything else on the brunch menu .

G B

Great vibes. Great music . Great staff . An absolute favorite of mine.

Rachel K

The strawberry shortcake dessert was easily the best thing I had during my tasting menu .

Izzie ML

Everything is good here! Have the namesake drink at the bar while you wait for your table, you won't regret it!

Yong Kwon

Smallish menu. Great flavors. Not so great prices, but worth it for the right dishes.

Montaign G.

Khachapuri , brussel sprouts , shishito peppers , flank steak with chimichirri!

Kurt J

The Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread ) is a must have! Let your inner fatty loose!

Elise Hu-Stiles

Named after the lovely owner, Rose . She got the chef from Jaleo. Georgian street food is their specialty, so enjoy!

Jessica Placencia

Great for sharing plates. Try the Fattoush and shrimp dish !

Leandro Lagera

Eclectic street food menu with a progressive vibe. The owners are amazing. Go here now.

Lorena Ruiz Domínguez

One of the best places in DC. Kachapuri, anticuchos and snails are probably my favourites

Karen Elizabeth

All the bartenders are great, but Janelle is awesome. Wonderful service, good strong + tasty drinks

Jeremy Thomas

Love for date night . The grilled calamari is incredible as are the cocktails .

Hyder Ramatala

The Bedouin tent in the back is absolutely the way to go to try the whole menu

C SG

a lot of international foods : Georgian, Salvadorian, Korean. Try the Miso Short ribs .

Molly Winston

Hostesses are real gems. Not. The policy to put your name on the waitlist requires to have the full party there is absolutely ridiculous for a neighborhood place .

Bitches Who Brunch

Voted Best Ambiance Brunch of 2015 by Bitches Who Brunch ! Read more

Graham Campbell

Cool spot but the prices for alcohol are too high. I love Narragansett but its not $6 on its best day. And $15 for a cocktail not at the Gibson seems extreme.

Anthony Beharry

Try the fried baked potato with the aioli from the pescadito...dito to the other tips

Ab

One of the best old fashioned I've had. Tip!

Lani Prunés

Get the Chaja for dessert , it's refreshing and delicious

Nate Felton

Great bar tenders. Awesome drinks. Check it out.

Eric Breese

Go once, no more. Loud , dim, but with excellent service and varied menu.

Jaya Punetha

The Mexican corn was finger lickin' good

Evan Samek

Best lamp kofta I have ever had....to date. ????

Aleksandra Arcipowska

Wow! What a delicious journey around the world. Loved it.

Masha Kandybin

Definitely poke and hacapuri (sp?)

Amy Cummings

You’re a fool if you don’t get the khachapuri .

Winter

Pupusas are great.

Josh Burris

Worst hostess encountered in DC in many years. One thing if your restaurant has a terrible waitlist policy (it does), another thing altogether if she is rude and pretentious . Food not worth service.

Ramansyah Anwar

chivito-uruguay

Aaron

Gado Gado salad ????

Akshay Anikhindi

Waited two hours for a table. Not kidding. Why they don't allow reservations or calling ahead is beyond me. The food is good, but NOT worth the two hour wait. Service was slow.
