    Breakfast Burrito
    Anne-Olive N.

    Nice, easy place right of Farragut North metro to get breakfast. Small interior with some seating outside. I got the breakfast burrito w/ sausage and I was full all day - didn't even need to eat lunch. Friendly staff and pretty quick service. Probably gets busy later in the morning and no call ahead service but I got my food in 15 mins.

    Breakfast sandwich with hash browns
    Nina Z.

    Pretty good. This was recommended by a hotel staff member and a block or two from our hotel. Some outdoor seating available, but it's more of a grab-n-go kind of place. Had the croissant sandwich with sausage, hash browns, and eggs. I wish every breakfast croissant came with hash browns. So good! You can also get a breakfast burrito or breakfast platter for a reasonable price. Definitely a great rec!

    #2 BREAKFAST Platter.   $10.99
    Candice F.

    We stumbled upon this place right outside our hotel -- $10.99 for 2 eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. Can't beat that! Same price for a western omlette with ham, onions, and bell peppers, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. So good that we came two days in a row, and it would have been more, except they aren't open on Sundays! The space is small with only 5 bar stools, but there is outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The owner Al has been here for 35 years and offers great quick service with a smile! We wish his business well but also wishes that he reaches his retirement goal soon!

    Two eggs with sausage
    Rob K.

    I was staying nearby and I wanted a quick, hearty breakfast. Sunrise Cafe certainly fit the bill. The woman working the register was extremely friendly. I had two eggs over medium, potatoes, and sausage. Everything was very tasty. Breakfast with a bottle of water was around $12.00. There is seating inside/outside. This isn't fancy, but if you are looking for a quick meal and a reasonable price, this is a solid option. I would return.

    2 Eggs with French Toast + bacon
    Bradley W.

    It's is great food at a good price. Service was fast and friendly. It's a tinny cafe but does have outdoor seating. Inside there is a single bar along the window facing the street. I got the French toast and it was good. 3 plates and 2 drinks came to around 40 dollars.

    2 Eggs with Toast
    Jeana B.

    It was alright. I feel like what I ordered is something I could make at home. It seemed like everyone was ordering the sandwiches, so maybe those are better. There is a small window bar inside for eating, but apart from that, the tables are located outside. I don't recommend eating outside because we were eaten alive by mosquitoes.

    Bacon egg cheese croissant.
    Amanda P.

    Food was fast and delicious. The croissant with super buttery and the bacon was very crisp and all for 10 bucks (OJ & sandwich). It's walking distance from the Mayflower Hotel as well. Definitely a better choice than some of the other popular places I've seen for twice as much money.

    Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich!! Delicious
    Evelyn T.

    So thankful that Yelp brought me here!! Had a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich, home fries, a bowl of watermelon and a banana all for $12.75. Breakfast was made infront of me in under 7 minutes and at the most affordable spot cannot wait to come back to this hidden gem!

Good start to the meal. The lamb kleftiko is the standout of the three. Slow-cooked until it falls apart easily, with the seasoning penetrating all the way through rather than sitting on the surface. It's a dish that rewards the time it takes to prepare -- nothing rushed about it. The kofte kebab holds its own too -- well-spiced, good char on the outside, moist inside, not dried out the way kofte can sometimes end up. Solid textural contrast against the kleftiko. Overall a strong meal across the board -- each dish distinct but all working within the same confident, well-executed style that Zaytinya is known for.

That made the experience feel even more special in hindsight. We walked in on a Monday night without reservations (clearly a theme for us!), not knowing they were needed. Thankfully, they were able to seat us in the bar area, which turned out to be a perfect spot for a relaxed dinner and a glass of wine. We ordered a mix to share: hummus, spanakopita, kofte kebab, and adana kebab. Everything was delicious, but the spanakopita really stood out. It was a bit unexpected--not layered like the traditional version, but more of a rolled presentation. Even so, the flavors were wonderful and elevated in a way that made it memorable. The only slight disappointment for me was the wine selection. The red wines leaned more dry than I typically prefer--I tend to go for something more fruit-forward--but it didn't take away from the overall experience. Dessert was the one miss. We were really hoping for baklava, which wasn't on the menu. Instead, we ordered the walnut delight. While it had all the right flavors, it didn't quite deliver the wow factor we were hoping for. That said, the food, atmosphere, and overall experience were still impressive. I was excited to learn that Zaytinya has locations beyond D.C., including closer to home in the Bay Area--so I'll definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend, and maybe make a reservation!

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.
