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 ...

Coziest Afghani restaurant that's Michelin Starr. My fave is the SHRIMP DUMPLINGS! 🥟
Lapis - Washington, DC
Best happy hour sushi in the area! They nearly have half off sushi - could you ask for more?

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

CARBONARA was to die for. They also give complementary bread so you already know it's an amazing spot.
Al Volo Osteria
Amazing Indian food that has bottomless brunch options too. As a south Asian, the spice was perfect!

$1 DUMPLINGS FOR HAPPY HOUR. What more could you ask for? It's the perfect modern ambiance too with unique decor.
