Talia Cuzina - Kensington

My husband and I just visited Talia? Cuzina and we? so impressed! They offer great service and delicious food. We came at 6:40 and they closed at 7, but they were so accommodating. They told us that we shouldn't hurry at all and give us a savory brisket to rehearse while waiting for our entrees to come. I prefer the spaghetti Pesto Pasta with chicken and it was tasteful the sun-dried tomatoes added the perfect burst of taste! My husband ordered Talia?s chicken sluice and it was refreshing the basil added a unique twist to the taste. The lower line is if you wish excellent service and AMAZING food, this is the place for you!!!! We will definitely come back!

A cozy restaurant and a welcoming staff. Maybe the food is too authentic for us, the 7 hour lamb was just too lemony. The poutine fries seemed to have changed to crinkle, but really great gravy and cheese. The Talia chicken wrap is good but we might have been too full to appreciate it, we'll have to try it again sometime. The pork tacos were good too, similar to the lamb but not lemony

Catering order for 8-10! Featuring a Grilled Veggie Platter with peppers, mushrooms, and asparagus as well as our famous Lamb Sliders portioned-off with tzatziki, goat cheese, and peppers on top!

Possibly my VERY favorite restaurant in the DC area, maybe the world. Every bite is insanely delicious, and I can't get enough. We live about an hour away, and anytime we're in proximity to Talia's, we have to stop by grab a sandwich or two. Definitely worth the visit! My favorites are the seven-hour lamb wrap and the pesto chicken sandwich. And you won't regret an order of the meatballs. I'm sure everything on the menu is just as delicious!

Talia's Cucina is a Mediterranean kitchen made fresh and with great flavor profiles. The dine-in portion of the restaurant is small but the flavors coming out of the open space kitchen are huge and the result of true passion for the cooking. We started with the kalamata olive hummus. The hummus is for sale in a refrigerator inside the restaurant and they literally take the container from the fridge and serve it with some warm pita. The nice thing about this is that you can easily take your leftover hummus with you just by putting the lid back on. The hummus was very good and was not overpowered by the olives. I had the 7-hour Lamb Wrap which had a roasted leg of lamb that has been marinated in Greek spices served on a pita with lettuce, feta tomato. The lamb was very flavorful, but it was heated back up in a skillet which I felt dried out some of the lamb and made it feel overcooked. I also got to try the chicken tacos which had great flavors but also suffered a bit in the final preparation. I was also disappointed with the homemade potato chips as they were not very crispy and had too much oil left on them at service. I would still recommend the wrap because the flavors are very well done. If you come here and figure out the parking let me know. I am not sure I wasn't parked in another business's parking area and was thankful that the car was still there when we came out. I think this would be a much bigger challenge at lunchtime than it was at dinner.
