Help us make it rightWe offer British Indian flavors, served in a simple easy to understand way. Its the type of food the British fell in love with and now we are bringing it to the USA. We are not an Indian restaurant, we have our own style and our own flavors and we are confident that you will love your experience at MERZI.
Choose your own Indian-inspired food adventure.
A "choose-your-own-adventure" approach that's "good, cheap and fast" governs this Penn Quarter counter-serve, where guests choose naan, chaat, rice or salad as a base for "yum" "mix 'n' match" meats, veggies and sauces; its simple modern storefront is a "convenient" stop after visiting nearby museums and the Mall.
Fast food has never been more flavorful than the Indian/American fusion menu offered at Merzi, now open at 415 7th Street N.W. The newest addition to the Penn Quarter district is the flagship restaurant for CEO and Merzi Founder, Qaiser (Kaz) Kazmi, who spent four years working with chefs to fine-tune recipes that feature high-quality ingredients spiced to perfection. “Many people are missing...
Saying that it is going to revolutionize the way people think about and eat Indian food, this take-out eatery (with some seating) has customers walk the line: do you want your choice of fillings---chicken, beef, lamb, shrimp, vegetarian---wrapped in naan, topping a bowl of rice or garnishing a bed of lettuce with vegetables and meat? You will also find your choice of sauces and chutneys, both...
Another good lunch pick up spot. It fills up quite rapidly, however. The food has always been good, and the service quite fast.
One of the value for money option at WDC who wants to have fresh Indian food. Service is quick and tastes like Indian food though it is not exactly Indian food. Rice, Chana masala, Samosa and many more...

We were tourists in Penn Quarter and wanted a quick and relatively cheap meal, but seemed surrounded more formal restaurants, until my son saw Merzi. This is sort of an Indian version of Chipotle. You pick your "Base" (rice, roti, nan, ...), add a protein (beef, lamb, chicken, ...), then add some veggies, sauces, and chutneys. It was very good,...
My husband and I stopped in here for supper. My immediate impression was that it was just like Chipotle in set up, but with Indian food. The prices were super cheap for DC (it was around $7.50), and everything was very tasty. I definitely think this is an Americanized version of Indian food, but if we lived closer we'd be...

An Indian answer to the ever popular Chipotle, Merzi serves a new take on quick, healthy, flavorful fast food. Merzi, which means "choice," offers customers the opportunity to have their own meal built for them, with options including a base (naan, rice, salad or vegetarian chaat), vegetables, meat (chicken, beef, lamb or their specialty, grilled shrimp) and varying styles of sauces and...
