The Most Exciting D.C. Restaurant Openings to Look Forward to This Spring | Eater DC
"A Union Market sibling from Pappe showcasing a mash-up of Persian, Portuguese, Indian, and Turkish cuisines under one roof; chef-owner Sanjay Mandhaiya describes the menu as highlighting “ancient foods from the Silk Route,” with examples including branzino dressed with ginger cilantro chimichurri, braised lamb shank with pomegranate raita, and pork chop vindaloo. The space leans into a railway motif — custom clock, a ceiling evoking a train platform, elegant tile work, and an open kitchen resembling a parked train car — a design tie-in to Union Market’s nearby web of Metro and Amtrak lines." - Tierney Plumb
