Dc Cafe

DC cafe is a must. It's the only place in DC that you may find open and offering great tasting food after 3am. Love their lamb gyros and baklava. The service is not conventional and offering fake smiles, but they do care a great deal about their customers. The owner used to extend the hours when I arrived late at 4am couple of times.

I have lived all over Europe and Turkey and this is, hands down, the most authentic Levantine lamb pita you will have outside of Syria or Lebanon. I walked by at midnight on a Friday and wasn't sure if it was open but the owner/cook was outside and said yes we're open and I went in and I asked him if I was going to get Greek or Turkish style and he said he and I got no kidding the best Levantine seasoned lamb pita I had had in probably 15 or 20 years. There was no discussion of how late it was or how much business had come through it was basically a discussion of the history of the past of the area where he had come from and how fantastic the food was and it was awesome. I will be eating here every single day every single time I am in this part of DC. If you are missing the Dinner of Germany and Turkey or the Gyro of Greece, you must eat here.

Excellent. Ordered the Lebanese platter and every single item on my plate was richly flavored. The owner/chef is a master! The menu features some items that are hard to find at local middle eastern places and they're well worth trying. If the classics are more your thing, they too are top notch. Even the basics like the rice and salad -- stuff that is all too often bland and boring -- really shine here.

Left an amazing concert late in the morning bout one thirty and stumbled upon this place looking for a pizza place which was the only place reportedly open this time of night well morning. The owner greeted us on the street at nearly two in the morning and made two of tbe best gyros ive ever eaten both completely fresh,amazingly seasoned and assembled. not only were the gyros great so was the baklava every time i visit dc i will visit the dc cafe where they treat you like family and feed you like it to Rich and tim
