This restaurant has great atmosphere, really accommodating servers and really beautiful decor. We called ahead they do allow outside cake but we needed to bring our own serving materials so we came prepared cutlery, plates, and knives, but it turns out you only need bring a knife and cut it yourself to avoid the $3 per person cake fee that we learned about upon arrival. (On the phone they just said bring everything and they ended up bringing out plates and silverware??) But no cake fee was incurred so that was nice! THE MENU did a great labeling of dietary restrictions cause our group had a celiac, nuts allergy, and dairy allergy separately which made it hard to share plates and eat family style as intended. However our server didn't know which dip was which on the sampler platter and we had a brave allergic and restriction-less soul figure it out but she wasn't sure other than the fishy one. Also I had a coconut allergy and that ingredient wasn't listed but must have been in some of the dishes cuz my throat was a little itchy when I left. However this is a fancy restaurant and I was disappointed in almost everything I tried. Dip platter was hit and miss the cauliflower was the best but it's hard to mess up cauliflower, the rice seemed like it had cloves in it, I wouldn't have ordered it if I'd noticed that in the ingredients list, the borek was most disappointing of all, and the portions where tiny. The beef noodles the meat was hard. My friend that ordered the lamb kebab seemed most happy and she's the only one who finished her portion without comments. I will say other people liked the borek and maybe Turkish neighbors at the dupont farmers market raised my expectations for that particular dish too high cuz they give me really good and big borek every week lol. Price: We spent 50-100 per person that included a compulsory 20% tip but it would have been in the 35-40 range if we hadn't been covering for the birthday girls portion.

If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.

I really like CAVA and was glad to find one while traveling. I am glad I double checked their GF items online before ordering. I thought their falafels were GF - but they are not. Maybe I’m thinking of another place where they are gluten free. The staff was friendly but not knowledgeable. Had a basic grain bowl with chicken - hummus - and veggies.

Cute place but left a bit underwhelmed. Had reservations for Friday at 6:30pm for 3. We were sat upstairs, but were left waiting at the front and asked 3 times who we were and to please wait (once by the original hostess, and twice by the same person within in the span of 5 minutes...) Parking: street or garage Service: our waitress was nice and accommodating (one of our friends had gluten restrictions). We were offered vegetables instead of pita bread for the hummus (which was usually an extra cost, but it was waived). She became really busy, and it was hard to get our drinks refilled. Food: we got the warak inab ($14), hummus nil lambe ($20), spinach fatayer ($14), kibbeh ($16). All were so good. The friend with gluten restrictions had the warak inab, hummus nil lambe, and makanek (all easy to pick because it was dictated on menu). All the drinks were so good! It costs more than the food but very tasty. Friend got the caramella (their spin of espresso martini) -which was my favorite. I tried their beruits passion which was also good- sweeter side.

Loved this place. I did feel a little underdressed wearing a T-shirt and shorts after a long day of exploring DC/Arlington. They have a huge wine selection, so there's a good chance you'll find something you like. I got a bread basket that contained the best bread I've had after traveling from Boston to NYC to DC. Their house smoked salmon was an excellent starter. I got the salmon filet which was well balanced with the greens and potatoes. My gluten free girlfriend was very much excited when she received her carbonara that had gluten free spaghetti (not penne pasta like most places). My word to the wise is wear a collared shirt if it's convenient, but they won't judge either ways.

Pretty terrible matcha for a place that is charging 7 dollars for it. Took 10 minutes for my drink to get made (after ordering it from the kiosk) while I watched others get their much more complicated orders get made. My matcha was a swampy green color that was not mixed very well, I don’t think this was very good quality matcha. Or maybe the barista was having a bad day. I don’t know. Don’t believe Google Maps when it says this is the highest rated cafe that you should go to. Outside and inside seating is non-existent; and the view from outside is not particularly nice. Also, the only gluten free thing is the Turkish Delight. Would skip this one frankly.

Truly Phenomenal! One of the best meals I've ever had in DC! The atmosphere and vibes are perfect. I love to bring out-of-towner friends here when they visit. Even my foodie friends are blown away. They do a good job of accommodating gluten and dairy free restrictions as well.

This restaurant was excellent and perfect for our Girls Night! We were seated right away, and the ambiance was chic and cozy. We shared a bottle of the Pinot Noir and had the Bruschetta appetizer which was not too dry & full of flavor. For dinner, I had the Shrimp Florentine, which they made Gluten Free which I LOVED. Wonderful setting, excellent food and great service!

Solid Mediterranean bowls, salads, and pitas topped with a variety of fresh ingredients and perfect for a relatively tasty, quick, and affordable meal. The concept is pretty similar to CAVA -- you can either build your own by choosing a base, main, and toppings, or you can pick from one of their chef-curated options. I usually opt to build my own with their salmon fillet or roasted butternut squash over kale, and topped with all the veggies and hummus. All of their veggies are super fresh, and their sauces all pack a ton of flavor (watch out for the spicy ones -- they actually are quite spicy). Their salmon fillets tend to be very small and a touch dry, as I assume they've been sitting under the heat lamp for a while, but they still pack a good flavor. Although the food is solid, it's generally not my first choice for fast-casual Mediterranean fare, as (1) they're not always aware of which allergens are in their food, and (2) despite being a fast-casual spot, service can often be quite delayed. Starting with the first -- the staff is wonderful at handling dietary restrictions; they'll put on new gloves, make sure your order is on a clean service (i.e., new foil or bowl), and avoid working on other orders at the same time as yours. However, I'm worried they haven't been told what all the allergens are in all of their ingredients. For example, I've received their gluten-free falafel pita box at several catered office lunches, and, unfortunately, ended up feeling pretty sick afterwards. Although I appreciate that they have a gluten-free pita (although it does taste pretty dismal) and that they have gluten-free options for desserts and sides, I don't believe their falafel is gluten-free (or maybe it's something in the rice or one of the toppings...I'm not entirely sure what it is or if there's just some cross-contamination, but something in those boxes definitely isn't sitting right with me). Beyond dietary restrictions, the only other drawback to Roti is that it's not always as speedy as advertised, which is not at all the fault of the employees. Every time I go in, there are usually only 1-2 people working the entire restaurant, fielding a slew of both in-person and mobile orders. This naturally creates a delay in getting out all orders; for example, I'll sometimes wait upwards of 30+ min. for a line of five or so in-person customers because the staff is so swamped with mobile orders. On the flip side, if you get a mobile order, definitely go to pick it up instead of using their delivery service (which includes third-party apps like UberEats, as Roti opts to use their own drivers for those services). I usually have to wait over 45 min. for a delivery order, despite the quoted wait time of 15 min. and that my apartment is less than 2 miles away from the restaurant. All in all, I think Roti is a solid place for fresh, flavor-packed Mediterranean bowls, salads, and pitas. However, I would recommend caution if you have dietary restrictions or if you're in a huge rush.

This cozy spot offers a selective menu with standout dishes like fresh oysters and an amazing shrimp appetizer, appealing to those seeking flavorful options. While the 80s-inspired decor and friendly atmosphere create a welcoming setting, gluten-free diners will appreciate the consistently terrific food, though the absence of a gluten-free bun for the burgers is a noted consideration.

Food is consistently terrific. The only thing that would raise it to five stars is a gluten free bun for the terrific burgers.
