| - Yeah - great addition to the Dupont strip! Took me a little while to visit, partly wanting to let them get the new restaurant kinks out of the way (see my original Rose & Sons review). We stopped by after a walk on a Sunday evening and were lucky to get a spot outside despite not having a reso. The place was jumping at 8:30 on a Sunday eve with a diverse and interesting neighbourhood crowd. The staff is just as we have come to expect from this team - hipster - tattoos required, but no edge, in fact very helpful and easy going.
Full disclosure - Middle Eastern is my favourite, so I am biased towards their entire menu - it has lots of options for my taste - we had the Fat Pasha Hummus, falafell, fatoush, califlower & pickles - a great veggie meal, though my husband was dying to try the Kabab & the pastrami - so that will be next. Everything was delish and we had enough to bring home. I also loved the Spritzers - great for those non drinking meals both the grape & lemon were great.
Part of a great trend of creative, vibrant and original spots along the Dupont corridor (three from this same group!) - I am a huge fan and I recommend you check it out soon, especially while you can have the full patio experience.
PS - Had mixed feelings about the closure of the Indian Rice factory - on one hand it was the early option for Indian before the city got so many amazing authentic Indian places, but on the other, it was over priced and tired, so fat pasha breathes new life which was much needed!
