    Partial menu
    Anna P.

    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.

    Menu

    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.

    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.

    Order from Roti still in the bag.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Was able to do a walk-in on a recent Thursday evening…read more I had been many times before, but it had been a while, so it was great to dine at Agora again. Everyone in my group loved the assortment of small plates that we had. We considered getting the lamb chops, but it only comes with 2, and there were three of us, so we opted against it. The dishes we got instead (an assortment of vegetables, meat, and seafood) were all delicious, and we would all be happy to get them again.

The serving size of the dishes I ordered were medium to small. The service was far less satisfactory than food. I tried the following dishes: 1. Complimentary pita: ~40g per piece. Not salty and paired well with the other dishes. Definitely get some! 2. Lahmacun: The lamb+beef mixture was tasty. It came with 4 pieces. 3. Branzino: ~6oz. The fish was grilled to perfection; juciy tender, and the skin was nicely charred. It was served with freh parsley and seasoned grilled tomato (salt+oregano I think). 4. Imam Bayildi: Half of an eggplant topped with sauteed onions and tomatoes. While itself was pretty normal, it went so well with the Ottoman rice. 5. Ottoman Rice: The true highlight of all the dishes I tried! It was basically Basimati rice cooked with dried apricots, raisins, almonds & pine nuts mix, and seasoned with black currant. Overall it was warm, earthy and lightly smoky. The apricot slices added some delightful sweetness and juiciness to the dish. Should pair well with Labneh, chicken and seafood. But to be honest, I can simply eat this stuff along for a whole meal! 6. Tabbouleh: They went against the traditional recipe by substituting the bulgur with quinoa and added some pomegranate arils. I liked the special texture of quinoa. The sweetness of pomegrante arils also enriched the flavors. However, I had to constantly spit the seeds when enjoying the salad. 7. Kofte: Adana style ground beef patties. Just like what I make at home haha! I ordered it as an add-on to my salad at lunchtime. It came with only 2 pieces which weighed no more than 3oz in total... Despite the delicious food, service was disappointing. The first time, the dinner, was Okay. While my food came out slowly, at least my server was aware of it and asked me how I liked the dishes. The second time, the lunch, was horrible. Even before I was seated, my server made me feel that he was reluctant to serve me, and emphasized that I had to order asap. "Luckily", I had already decided what to order. After I got my dishes, no one in the restaurant asked me if the food was Okay. And at the check, my bill was thrown onto my table. In comparison, the two ladies dining next to me came even after I started eating, but were greeted warmly and were given lots of time to decide what to order; not to mention that the staff gave them lots of suggestions, asked about their dining experience, and even chatted with them about sightseeing in DC, etc. Such discrimitory treatment is really unacceptable.

Was warmly greeted, seated, and given an overview of the menu and brunch package options; decided to opt-out of the bottomless drinks, which had an alcoholic (mimosas and Bloody Marys) and NA (juices, sodas, drip coffee and black tea), as I wanted to try their more speciality coffee and tea. The drinks I ordered were the Turkish coffee, Levantine-style tea and digestive tea. All were quite solid. The Turkish coffee was as robust as espresso, yet not overwhelmingly bitter and slightly sweetened. The Levantine tea was a smooth black tea with natural sweetness and layered with a mint steep and floral notes of hibiscus, and rose petal. The digestive was more herbaceous with fennel and pomegranate zest, in addition to a steep of spearmint. The food was more hit-or-miss. On one hand, the meat and seafood was all very delicious and well-made. The braised lamb shank is their speciality, and well-deserved, as it's moist, savory and tender. The short rib similarly so, and the chicken casserole, lamb biajeen, Adana kebab and steamed lavraki (sea bass) were all similarly flavorful. On the other hand, the sides and mezze options were more mixed; the dolmas and fresh bites cheese with za'atar/nuts were delightful, however, the borek, cheeses, and some of the dips tasted reheated and/or not super fresh, the Brussels sprouts were quite scorched, and the savory salmon waffles were bone dry and flavorless. The French onion soup had the right flavor profile, but not the intensity; it tasted watered-down and even looked it, due to the noticeable oil blebs on the surface. Dessert was similar; the melon and fruits were fresh enough, the yogurt bar was quality, the kadayif nutty with the sweetness balanced, and the layali lubnan was intoxicatingly tasty, but many of the baked goods looked rather packaged and the fondue station was mediocre. The staff, however, were extremely friendly (my special regards to Mia, she's a great conversationalist and a sweetheart!). They answered all my questions, and one of the bartenders even gave me half a lemon to zuzh up my tea with. As I said at the start, more 3.5 stars than 3 stars. The core of their offerings are all quality, so I can't quite dock them a full two stars for the food quality because they had buffets aren't usually renown for said quality. You really can't expect perfection from AYCE, even though I naturally encourage the management to avoid sourcing pre-made items from Sysco if possible. The friendly staff and eloquent Eastern Mediterranean ambiance allows me to still say I enjoyed this experience, and may be back for dinner in the future.

Service was spot-on, too--Louis and the team had us covered without a hitch. Our only tiny gripe? The volume! The energy was great, but the noise level made conversation a bit of a challenge.
