    I discovered this friendly little gem as I waited to check into my hotel. The Mediterranean food was exceptional and the staff wonderful.

    Steak Build Your Own Bowl
    Tex W.

    I enjoyed the Steak bowl. It could use some more sauce on it but overall it is delicious. The service was quick and the servers were amicable.

    This Roti is downtown. There is a metro stop around the corner. The rice plate was delicious. The broccoli was the best I have ever tasted. If I had known how amazing it was going to be, I would have just had a giant plate of broccoli! The service is great. Bonus points for the pita bread.

    Outstanding! Quick, fresh, healthy, and delicious. What more could you ask? Great lunch location. Went with a group and we each were able to tailor a bowl so we all got exactly what we wanted. No leftovers! Clean and open inside. Staff was incredibly polite and helpful.

    Order from Roti still in the bag.
    Tiffany D.

    I've always loved Roti. Never really had a problem when I went into order. I decided to do online ordering today. I think this is my second time. I received the text, and went to pick up my food. Like always I checked my food to make sure it's correct. I however did not see the sauces on the side like I asked. So assume they put it on there. However I decided to still ask for them. So I went to the cashier. She was currently helping a customer so I patiently stood there waiting for a few minutes not interrupting. You know, being the courteous, faithful and patient customer that I am. Mind you she never acknowledged me or said "I'll be with you in one minute". I was the only person standing there and it wasn't busy at the time. Usually I don't make this a race thing, but today that's the way that I felt. So I'm standing there, this white guy walks up. Clearly minutes after I did. I know she saw me because I was literally standing right there at the counter, he was behind me to my right. Who do you think she acknowledged first? Sure wasn't me! She looked right past me and asked could she help him. Not only that, she asked would he like a cup to get a drink while he waited for the non gluten free pita he ordered. Then she went back to the customers she was checking out. At this point I interrupted her and said "excuse me, I was standing here too". "I wanted to see if they put the sauces on here or did they forget? She said they put them on there (my salad). I was so heated, and felt so disrespected! As I turned to walk away , she asked did I want an extra one. I just said nope and kept walking. I'm not even hungry anymore. What hurts even more, not that it makes it even better, is the fact that she was Hispanic. Well looked hispanic to me. I should have gotten her name! Thanks for ruining my lunch and my until now, positive experiences at Roti at the 16th and K, NW location!

    Chicken roti plate with yogurt sauce, eggplant, hummus, veggies, rice and naan!
    Roya B.

    I'm middle eastern and love this place! I usually get a plate... the rice is great, I get half roti chicken half falafel, and then usually the eggplant, vegetables, and something else (hummus for the pita bread that comes with?) Great price and friendly service. Nice for lunch or a casual dinner.

    Roti will never let you down if your looking for a quick bite or bowl to soothe your soul. You find it hard to believe food so nutritious can taste so good.

    Kiara C.

    FANTASTIC! Pleasant staff. Great food. Calm environment- we came before lunch hour traffic. Definitely will be coming back. Tip: instead of your everyday soft drinks, totally give their drinks a try. Carrot lemonade, Pomegranate lemonade black tea, and hibiscus lemonade.

    Chicken Kabob Rice Plate Chicken Roti Salad
    Yuxi L.

    We had chicken kebob rice plate and chicken roti salad. The salad has fresh flavor and you could choose whatever to put in your bowl. Kebob smells really good. Overall it is a good choice.

    Jerry M.

    Roti is a make it your own counter service mediterranean take out restaurant. They make a nice falafel. The flavors are good. I like their hummus and their tahini. Everything was fresh and hot. Staff is friendly. The name of the restaurant seems odd, I thought it was maybe a Jamaican restaurant and almost passed it by till i saw someone eating a falafel. Came here around six pm so it was the end of the day. Restaurant was a bit trashed and messy. But I do like a good falafel and mine was tasty.

    Definitely not worth the price point. The bowl portions are so small. You get twice the amount of food at a lower cost at Cava or Mezeh.

We sat outside on the patio and it was a gorgeous day. The decor is perfect and I love that they've added plants to cover the staircase. Drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly. Our water glasses were rarely empty. Service was kind. Food wise if I were to stack rank I would say the hummus is the best of what we ordered. The pita bread is thick and garlicky and oily and massive. The croquettes would be at the bottom of my list simply because they're dissimilar from any I've had before and a little bit underwhelming. The tuna was fresh but it's a small dish and not much to write home about. The lamb skewers have a subtle kick to them and they're pretty substantial. I'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend on a warm summer day as you're covered by the canopy above, if you're looking for a rooftop vibe.

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to while I lived in DC, because to be honest, I never got in an Italian mood. Now that I no longer reside in the DC area, I use every visit to eat my faves and occasionally a new spot. So, after another popular (and cheaper) Italian place closed before I could finish my delivery order, I spotted L'Ardente. I ordered the famous Lasagna - their 40-layer specialty - with short rib sugo, truffle mornay, and Sottocenere Cheese. The truffle mornay added a smooth, melty, creamy cheese sauce. It is good, but I am not sure if it is worth the hype at $40 lagnasa. I think the cost is built into the work but not the flavor profile. I think the meal is better without the sauce - it made it too salty with it.
