Ambar Shaw

Washington&#39;s well-known pizza restaurant, on the Michelin list, the pizza inside tastes very good, the ingredients are very good, and the variety is very wide, many look like I have not seen it in China, black truffle pizza is a bit daddy.

This store is far from the downtown area, so there are few tourists, all local old guests, the dishes inside are a bit Southeast Asian style, taste good, I like the fish inside taste good, snacks can also be.

Just 5 minutes walk from the Cambria Suites hotel so very convenient. Service was excellent. We were greeted by the owner and our waitress was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy, mainly with young people, even though it was still not yet 8. By &quot;no frills&quot; Wooden tables without cloths and after our first course the owner said keep your knife and fork I really like Thai food and this was better than most outside Thailand itself. There is a wide choice on the menu to suit almost everyone&#39;s taste as they spell out which dishes are strong. I had. green curry which was equisite being nicely flavoured and strong. The prices were very reasonable indeed. A real find.

I am very familiar with food from other West/Central African countries and living overseas, this is the one kind of food I miss so, whenever I pass through DC, I am always excited to find a great restaurant with similar dishes. Off the bat, as another traveler said, go for the food, not the ambiance. It seems as their name states, they do a lot of carryout business. Even if you are eating in, food in served in sturdy carry out containers which, makes it easier to wrap up any extra food to go afterwards. The restaurant itself has about 6 tables and can seat approximately 30 people. If it is your first time, they will serve you a little sample of all 6 items on the menu. Basically, the menu is different kinds of stews with a basis of leafy greens (spinach etc.), 1 tomato based stew and fried rice. They generally have either chicken or beef and sometimes goat! The stew is served over rice. For the more adventurous/experienced eaters, you can get the stew with fufu (yam based) or, gari (cassava). A google search should give you more information on fufu and gari. The portions are HUGE! In retrospect, one large stew can feed 2 people. We had the stew with potato leaves with goat meat and fufu-my 9 year old had his with chicken and ate half of it. We also had the peanut stew over rice with goat meat and my husband could only eat half of it. We went there for lunch and I was full through the rest of the day! The owner had a warm smile from the time we entered and really engaged my son. Our server was equally great. Next time I am in DC, I will make sure to stop by again.

This is a great space to go grab some awesome and interesting beers with your friends. While it is a heavily German leaning beer list there are more than just German beers on tap. Most beers are also offered in Das Boot if you&#39;re really thirsty or just want the novelty of drinking out of a glass boot (especially if there are any Beer Fest fans out there). It was a chilly day yet there were plenty of space heaters keeping tables warm as if it was 70 degrees outside. For those few guests who weren&#39;t close to the heaters the waitress was actually walking around with freshly washed, clean, folded blankets to keep others warm. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive and walked around with IPads to wirelessly send orders faster to the bar and if the bartenders weren&#39;t immediately busy they would run the drinks out to you. Very dog friendly and the people watching was definitely good as well. For the guys the urinal was interesting to say the least, and I had to snap a picture. When I got back to my table and asked my friends who were from DC if that was weird they laughed and said it was actually quite normal. Worth checking out for sure
