My favorites by

★★★★★ Had Busboys 3 times total in my stay in DC. Twice in this location and once from the location on 5th. The chicken is halal. I had the nachos and the grilled panini and they were both delicious. I had the panini both times at this location, and you can tell it was made by two different chefs/cooks each time. It wasn't consistent but tasted very good nonetheless. Furthermore, I love the atmosphere of Busboys and Poets. The book collection is enriching and diverse. You can easily get immersed reading the books at Busboys while waiting for your food. I also love all the quotes and murals about social justice, equality, and human/civil rights. Great ambiance. Wish we had a place that represents our history and enriching diverse culture here where I live. Posted on September 21, 2013

★★★★★ Ambiance: This is probably one of my favorite restaurants period. The environment is very chill with an urban vibe. It decorated very hipster like. This place is normally super busy at night and a great place to eat and have good conversation. The place is also super clean and so are the bathrooms which is always a plus Ambiance definitely gets 10/10. Food: All the chicken items are Halal, all the managers on site and the sign confirms it. There is no question there. I had their Grilled Chicken Panini, which is amazing. The definition of mouthwatering. Their Chicken Quesadilla is really good too, it was just not as filling as I would like. Their pomegrante lemonade is amazing too. Price: For the halal, organic, and quality of food you are getting, prices are perfect. Overall: This is the perfect place to bring visitors not from the DC area. They will love the food and the vibe. I'm just happy that there is a really high quality place, that serves Halal food. Posted on April 23, 2013
