The 38 Essential Restaurants Around D.C.

"At this Malaysian restaurant in Columbia Heights, chef James Wozniuk navigates a balance of pungent, spicy-sweet, and funky umami flavors that vary in intensity but never veer out of control. Wozniuk’s condiments — sambal made from bird’s eye chiles, palm sugar, tamarind, and fried anchovies; appetite-piquing pickled limes with prune and golden raisin; and peanut-based satay sauce — assert themselves in an array of rice and noodle dishes. The bar mixes complex tropical cocktails, like a blackstrap rum and pineapple Jungle Bird, that can be enjoyed either in the breezy dining room or on the patio. For fall, try aromatic PEI mussels dressed dried shrimp and lemongrass or veggie curries. The Makan space also houses Spicebird, a Southeast Asian takeout offering savory spice-rubbed roast chicken and sides, or head to underground sibling Thirsty Crow for a tasty bar bites menu." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky

D.C.’s Best Brunches

"The kaleidoscope of sour, funky, spicy, and sweet flavors at this Malaysian mainstay in Columbia Heights translate well to brunch. Eggs in chef James Wozniuk’s fiery homemade chile sambal are a natural morning dish. People with a sweet tooth might gravitate towards biscuits and kaya — sweet and mellow coconut pandan custard. Char kway teow, a stir-fried flat noodle dish with sweet Chinese sausage, is another crowd-pleaser. Complement everything with acar (pickles) brimming with key lime and prunes, pineapple and ginger, or mixed vegetables and shrimp paste." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
