"Cedars is a tiny fast-casual spot that has Indian and Mediterranean food on one menu. It’s not much on the inside, but the fact that you can have falafel and samosas at the same time totally makes up for it. Get the butter chicken." - aimee rizzo
"Chili Turmeric Fried Chicken “In the Before Times, a long wait at Kedai Makan was one of the only constants in life. And now, while you should still order ahead to reduce said wait time, getting your hands on their incredible turmeric fried chicken no longer requires two hours of obsessively checking your phone for a “your table is ready” text. The crunchy, flavorful chicken is served over jasmine rice, alongside a spicy mint chutney, cucumber, and pickled onions. Don’t forget to order a side of roti jala.” - Julia Chen, Editorial Assistant" - julia chen 1, carlo mantuano, aimee rizzo
"Tasty Malaysian food located right next to one of the best bars on the Hill. Always a line and always worth it. Must tries: Nasi Goreng (Malaysian fried rice, kecap manis, tofu, sprouts, chili, runny egg, cucumber) and the Ramly Burger!" - Hum Creative
"When you have visitors in town, time is usually limited - so they might get confused/extremely annoyed when you suggest Kedai Makan, a Malaysian restaurant on Capitol Hill that has a notorious multi-hour wait at peak times. But after they actually eat the food here, they’ll get it. Once you’re in the bright, teal space, the plates of spiced fried chicken, mushroom pan mee noodles, and beef ribs stewed in black vinegar will get your people on board immediately. Just hearing your friend muffle “I understand now” with a mouth full of lamb curry is satisfaction enough." - aimee rizzo
"If your friend is still set on leaving this city after eating all of the amazing Malaysian food at Kedai Makan, like mushroom pan mee noodles, beef ribs braised in black vinegar, and fried chicken with creamy curry for dipping, they simply cannot be helped. Call them a car to the airport and bid them farewell. Then, eat their leftovers." - aimee rizzo
