When I worked in that neighborhood, I used to go there regularly. Liked it. Should get back there. OK, just checked the Post review, and it's from 2002, and mentions that it had just recently opened.

Yes, it has been there since late 2002 I believe. My wife and I would pop in on nights when we felt like staying close to home. Good drinks, good food, great prices and very nice atmosphere. Not the best place in DC, but still very good. Yes, they are good with kids. We were often "those people" with multiple little kids at our table. We don't live in DC anymore :( Good place.

Plus they were especially accommodating & good with little kids. Haven't been since the market moved however. Wow! We have spellcheck on these postings now! I'm ecstatic!

That is, if you dig deep enough, you're sure to find the perfect dish that you will end up going back again and again for.

Importantly, they have everything I need on the menu, including lentil soup which actually tastes like lentil soup in Turkey, something that I haven't found done right anywhere else in the city. I'll often just pop into the take out area, and eat at one of their tables there, making it even cheaper! I also often recommend this place for dates, because of its great mix of cozy atmosphere, affordable dishes, and exotic deserts.

Overall, I was impressed -- cheap food and cute place -- although the lamb pide I had was pretty blah and disappointing. The lamb kebabs and bread they serve at the beginning were delicious!
