Mekki - Washington, D.C.

After getting my nails done, I stopped by this restaurant for a quick bite to eat. I decided to try the kefta and was delighted by how flavorful it was. The dish was packed with delicious ingredients and went perfectly with the bread.

I wanted to love this place. The photos of food looked really great but the service and food was subpar. We waited like 3 minutes to be seated and it was not busy. It was like we were invisible. Then we explained that we had not eaten there before and asked about the most popular dishes. The waitress seemed very disinterested in making recommendations but did tell us what she liked. We asked about drinks and my wife inquired if there was any tradional or sweet drinks and

My husband myself celebrated our 25th anniversary with some amazing Moroccan food some amazing hospitality. The owner Mekki went all out to make it super memorable as we ended the meal with an enormous slab of complimentary tiramisu, a Moroccan dessert made with fried phyllo pistachios that was topped with champagne!! What more can one ask for along with a great meal! Standouts were, the on the house shrimp chemoula, eggplant bell pepper appetizer, the shrimp skewer

Wow! The food was so good. Loved the braised eggplant, fresh and warm bread, and the kefta meatballs. Zack who was filling in for the owner who is Moroccan was so kind and had wonderful conversation with. Food is so good and made with love.

Food was pretty darn good! Zack helped us out and was very kind. Can't wait to try their brunch! Definitely recommend sitting outside, if you can. Off of memory ... We got the cheese, shrimp, and chicken appetizers And the pork chef's special for our meal. The menu item that stood out the most was definitely the dessert... Don't remember the name. Haha but it wasn't the cake. :
