support my local DMV restaurant. When arriving the place was really nice and quaint. When ordering food and drink it took longer than expected. There wasn't a lot people in the restaurant. It took a party of 3 20/30min for breakfast food to be served. The food was okay. The churro chicken waffle was great ( It was just maybe recommended to season just the chicken only not the interior meal. the churro waffle waffle and filled favor, but it had the salty seasoning sprinkled on top with the chicken. Sweet potato pancake was a bit chewy and a bit rubbery ( I'm not sure if it was the ingredients in the batter) the stuffed French toast was a guilty pleasurable eats. Its rich.

Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
