Gypsy Kitchen DC

Food is great, I especially like the Mussels, their soup base makes it so good and the mussels are fresh. They have lots of seats but still very busy. Our service was okay but for some reason, he seemed very unhappy and annoyed even though he barely stop by.

Gypsy Kitchen is emblematic of true Mediterranean hospitality and amazing cuisine. Outstanding cocktails (the Cyprus water was the standout). A wonderful value driven wine list. The small plates (tapas) were incredibly delicious. The pinnacle was the pork belly and also outstanding value for $18. The small chef's board of cheeses, Serrano ham and Bresaola came a close second. The halloumi, falafel, and crispy cauliflower all top notch. The octopus was not as tender as we expected but the flavor profile made up for it. The branzino very freshly butchered and perfectly cooked. Gypsy Kitchen's lamb shank was the best I've ever had! Kudos the the chef! The decor is beautifuly unique. The attention to detail shows everywhere. A perfect trifecta. Beautiful decor, extraordinary cuisine and excellent service. A very memorable dining experience! We highly recommend this phenomenal restaurant!

For summer brunch, we recommend the lamb hummus (comes with seasoned pita), the tomato salad, the french toast and the shakshouka. Our server was very helpful for recommendations and the ambiance of the restaurant is warm and comfortable. Highly recommend!

A beautiful restaurant with delicious food! We always sit on the patio upstairs and the ambience is unmatched. A must have is the lamb hummus, which blows our minds every time. The sangria is delicious and we went during cherry blossom time and they had some delicious cherry blossom themed cocktails. Another great small plate was the mushrooms with the soft boiled egg!

I came here to have lunch or brunch with my family around 1 p.m. The hostess told us there was a 30-minute wait, so we waited at the bar until our table was ready. The bartender was a super friendly guy. We immediately felt welcomed. Finally, we got the table and were super hungry. We ordered Tunisian Hot Chicken Sandwich, Brunch Pork Belly, Hummus, Falafel, and Crispy Cauliflower. We loved all the small dishes. The sauce that came with them had a nice flavor. The bread was soft. Unfortunately, the Brunch Pork Belly was overcooked and very hard to chew. The ambiance is very hip. I would love to come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Small plates are overpriced in general but luckily the dish that I got was a little more substantial. Taste is great though! Halloumi is nice and thick, the peaches were warm and spicy, bread was not too crunchy not too soft and the prosciutto was flavorful. Maybe the big dishes will be better cost efficiency wise. Cocktail was pretty and got pretty buzzed quickly so you get your money’s worth probably!

I went here with some friends for a dinner on a Sunday. They definitely lose some points for the hype around this place. It was good but not outstanding We got a mix of small plates to share. The pita/naan that came with the hummus was amazing. So was the pork belly. Otherwise, this place was just okay. That said, I will come back to try it again!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, with great flavors and quality that truly stood out. The prices were very reasonable, offering excellent value for the quality of the dishes. The service was fantastic—our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, going out of their way to ensure we were comfortable, even making space for our stroller without any hassle. Overall, it was a great dining experience with amazing food, fair pricing, and exceptional service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and enjoyable place to eat!
