This contemporary Turk off Dupont Circle lets diners graze on hot and cold meze or choose from grilled kebabs, braised meats and Turkish-style pizzas (called pide) from the wood-burning oven. The stylish surrounds feature banquettes, striking chandeliers and a built-in walled wine rack, plus a spacious sidewalk patio that's ideal for people-watching in mild weather.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Levante's Restaurant Review

With its bold blues and yellows, this Middle Eastern restaurant has taken DC by storm. Drop in at lunch or dinner and scan around for a vacant table. It seems everyone has stopped by for a glass of wine, a loaf or two of the restaurant’s superb hot bread dunked in golden olive oil and one of the oversized Turkish pides---a pizza boat loaded with your choice of toppings. We are addicted to the...

We had never been to a "Turkish" restaurant before, and found all the food flavorful and fresh. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the street scene. Would definitely recommend this place

It's my second time in DC, and I decided to go again to Ankara. This time with a friend I haven't seen in a while. They don't disappoint, and my friend found their food amazing. They are prompt in fixing the whatever-little deficiencies in service that might happen. Food is incredible, staff is very professional, yet friendly. I highly recommend it!

Very easily the worst service we've had at a restaurant. Never refilled our water and it took 15 minutes from clearing or plates until we got the check. They were not busy...

We ordered a cocktail that had a strange (read off) smell and taste that we didn't finish. The food was simply okay, not bad but nothing special. The portion sizes were rather small.

Overall a very disappointing experience.

We had a group of seven with very different tastes, but everyone found a dish they loved and there was a lot of sharing. This is an excellent place for a family or business get-together.
