The Hottest New Restaurants Around D.C., July 2024
"Dupont’s former home of Mari Vanna turned into an eclectic Persian getaway led by the owners of Lima Twist. Open for lunch and dinner out of the gate with a menu full of dips, soups, fragrant salads, rice dishes, branzino, turmeric-flanked lamb shank, gorgeous desserts and breads prepared daily, and creative cocktails like an espresso martini made with pistachio syrup. The full-scale renovation includes lots of artistic odes to Iranian nightlife and culture, including a stylish third-floor Kolbeh lounge lined with black-and-white photos of family members and friends." - Tierney Plumb
