Jaleo is not even the best Jose Andres owned restaurant. Zaytinya is much better. Rasika is great as recommended. If you want something fancy-ish, I’d recommend Le Diplomate. If you want something fairly cheap, Ray’s is great as is Bonchon Chicken.

Jaleo is not even the best Jose Andres owned restaurant. Zaytinya is much better. Rasika is great as recommended. If you want something fancy-ish, I’d recommend Le Diplomate. If you want something fairly cheap, Ray’s is great as are Rockland BBQ, and Bonchon Chicken.

This is awesome, guys. I’m going to be in DC for a week this July for my niece’s wedding, and I was going to ask where the good places were to eat. Thanks!

Strongly agree with this. Zaytinya is great for Turkish inspired Tapas. Expensive, though.

Listening to WTOP for news of the fast-moving storm headed this way. Metrorail expects to open at 5 AM.
