Food & Drink Review (What We Tried)

- Beef Kabob Platter – Juicy and well-seasoned beef kabobs, cooked perfectly without being dry another solid choice.
- Hummas – Original Hummas with olive oil and amazing flavor.
- Crown Kulfi – The highlight of dessert. Creamy, rich, and authentic in flavor. A perfect end to the meal.

Both kabob platters were satisfying, but the Crown Kulfi stole the show. If you’re in downtown DC pairing a platter with kulfi makes for a complete and enjoyable meal.
