As someone who just moved to DC a year ago, I've been on the avid hunt to find my fave food spots! I grew up in a foodie family so I have a keen interest in the unique flavors of new cuisines. These are the restaurants that have stuck out to me thus ...

LA' SHUKRAN
If it's one thing I'd go back for - it's their PIMENTO CHEESE and biscuits.

Amazing Indian food that has bottomless brunch options too. As a south Asian, the spice was perfect!
