Amazing ambience and service. Food was incredible too. The mix of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern options is great. Only removing one star because I'm vegetarian & gluten-free, which left me only one main dish as an option. Ended up getting two smaller dishes: an eggplant dip and charred purple cabbage. Especially the cabbage was excellent.

Overall, I had a lovely experience at Karravaan. There are many options to choose from, with dishes inspired by many different Silk Road countries. I had the wild mushroom biryani. Very flavorful. I also tried the steak from my girlfriend’s plate, and it was even better than my dish, soft, perfectly grilled, and juicy. The interior of Karravaan offers a great atmosphere for evening dining. Soft lighting, but very detailed interior decoration

I think I’m at a loss for words on the let down of this restaurant…Silk Road journey screams flavor, depth, variety. While there was variety in the menu items, not one stood out. Khachapuri: 3.5/5. Good. Regular. Did not get a hint of chili oil Lebanese Fish Kofta: 4/5 tasty, and good portion. Supposed to be on a bed of labneh, but there was hardly a smear on the plate. When I requested extra, the waiter was happy to bring extra. Good combination. Tamarind bbq lamb chops: 2/5 I was pleasantly surprised at the size and meatiness of the lamb chops. This could have been a hit if there was actual flavor and the chops were not so tough🫠. I was shaking the whole table trying to cut it. The accompanying curry lentils had curry powder, nothing else. Not creamy, no depth. Forbidden Duck: 4/5 Duck was tender and well cooked. It was good. Nothing to write home about. Midori Cocktail: 5/5 now this was a hit!! Well crafted and flavorful. Cafe cocktail: 0/5 apparently they ran out 🤷🏽‍♀️ and could not try. Beautiful restaurant. No parking, it’s Union market. Closest garage is still a walk in heels when dressing for the occasion.

I actually could not recommend Karravaan enough. We split a few small plates, which absolutely was the right move IMO. The khachapuri is an absolute MUST—-so delicious AND they mix it up tableside. We also absolutely LOVED the cauliflower manchurian, smoky eggplant dip (pomegranate seeds were such a nice touch!), and pork & lemongrass dumplings. So so so so good. The patio seating (especially with the cherry blossom decor) was a little warm at first, but then the AC was put on and it was lovely. The service was great as well. If you’re looking for some 100/10 delicious food, vibrant flavors, and overall to just have a good time, Karravaan is the place for you!!!

I like that this restaurant is in the cut! Reclusiveness is my new vibe. This place matched my energy. I loved the decor. The host seated us at the bar immediately upon arrival. We came to tryout happy hour. The fries came out first. They were more potato wedges. I appreciate them being HOT wedges. I wish they had a little more truffle and sauce. Next was the cauliflower bites. They were prepared well, I enjoyed. Last was the lamb sliders and the chicken shawarma. The presence on fresh herbs in both dishes was very impressive. I loved the authenticity of both dishes. I would order again.
