My favorite DC REstaurants

Hello friends! Wanted to create a list of my favorite DC restaurants (pictures can be seen on my Instagram KookingwiththeKapoors). This will be a dynamic list of my favorite restaurants and eats in the area! I’ll try to post pictures along with the list soon!

MY FAVE DC/NOVA NOMS:

  • Zaytinya: It’s a middle eastern restaurant with amazing vegetarian and vegan dishes! If you don’t eat eggs or are vegan make sure to request the vegan pita bread! My tried and true favorites at this place are the Baba Ghannouge, Hommus, Crispy Brussels, Falafel, Imam Bayildi and of course the Turkish coffee! I’m super excited to checkout their Halloumi Pide when I go next 🙂
  • Rasika: Is an amazing higher end, modern Indian Restaurant. I went here for a belated Galentine’s Day and really enjoyed the place. I’m an Indian food snob and this place blew my mind. When I went I did the four course vegetarian tasting menu and it was SO much food. I really enjoyed the experience and food! My tried and true favorites were the Palak Chaat, the Dal Makhani (which gets cooked for 6 hours! LOVE LOVE LOVED it), the Mint Paratha (it was a weird try for me but I LOVED it), and of course the Paneer Tikka Masala. We also got to try the amazing orange fennel ice cream which paired amazingly with the gulab jamun. I loved the concept of the apple jalebi and the kofta dish was a great addition for someone who loves spice!

Restaurant Review: NuVegan DC

Hello friends hope y’all are doing well and staying safe! TODAY, I’m going to introduce you to my favorite vegan soul food IN THE US (I know bold claims, but I’ve been to my fair share of soul food places and I’m telling y’all this one is THE BEST)!!! If you are craving some amazing fried chik’n, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, LASAGNA, etc NUVEGAN is THE place to go in the DC area! My personal favorite from NuVegan is their LASAGNA (which I often have dreams of) it’s rich, hearty, and comforting!
