" Good food but very slow service! The mixed grill platter was delicious and brought back memories of my last trip to Turkey. The ambiance was clean and tidy, but it lacked vibrancy. If you're prepared to wait a bit longer, you'll enjoy your meal here. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is not the first time I've been to Cafe Divan, but my latest visit was rather disappointing. The food lacked the charm I had experienced before, especially the lamb shish kebab, which was overcooked. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and I only saw my waiter once. There are better places for Turkish food in DC. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dining experience last night! The food was incredibly fresh, surely made with love. The staff was welcoming, and overall, it was a lovely restaurant. Special mention for their home-baked bread, which added so much to the meal. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cafe Divan last week, and while the food was tasty, I was a bit disappointed with the service. My friends and I waited a long time for our drinks, and when the food arrived, only half of our order was correct! The lamb kebab was great, though. I'd give it another chance, but the service needs improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, and the staff was polite. Sadly, the food did not quite meet expectations. The kebab kebab was undercooked, and the lahmacun was just average. They need to focus on the quality of their food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Divan holds a special place in my heart. Each visit has been a delightful experience—great food, pleasant service, and welcoming ambiance. Their doner kebab remains my top choice, it’s authentic and perfectly seasoned! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine Turkish meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Divan was a great spot for dinner! The food was delicious and authentic. However, the service left a lot to be desired. We were ignored for a while, and the waiter seemed overwhelmed. The lamb döner was superb, though! I would recommend this place but hope they improve on the service. " (*Curated Review*)
