Ottoman Taverna

The Best Lunch Spots In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Ottoman Taverna's express lunch solves the age-old problem of wanting quality food quickly. Their efficient three-course format delivers a complete meal that fits comfortably into a lunch break. The first course features excellent dips like creamy hummus and pembe sultan—a vibrant beet and labneh combination that's both beautiful and flavorful. The meats include a tender lamb kofte and generously-seasoned tavuk şiş chicken. To finish, choose between a traditional flaky baklava or a luxuriously creamy rice pudding—either will make you wonder why you don’t always insist on dessert with lunch." - allison robicelli, madeline weinfield
