• Raw excellence

I've been to a handful of raw establishments before, but never one like this. Khepra is a no frills, counter-service restaurant sharing a space with a health and wellness store that sells a variety of wares. Some customers might be put off by this unorthodox arrangement, but I really appreciated it. I'm always a little uncomfortable when I step into vegan restaurants that feel like a Beverly Hills yoga studio, so Khepra pleasantly surprised me by bucking the trend. More importantly, I think it emphasizes the fact that Khepra focuses on food over appearances. And it certainly paid off. I was delighted with my meal this evening. I ordered the bbq jackfruit entree + sampler platter. The jackfruit was smothered in a tangy, spicy sauce that was utterly delicious. I'm someone who likes to try a little bit of everything, so the sampler was an amazing value for me. They gave me generous helpings of every single side dish. I especially liked the seaweed salad, the kale salad with raspberry dressing, and the savory dehydrated banana dish, but in truth, everything was awesome. I'd highly recommend giving this a try if you're in DC, and make sure to get the sampler platter so you can get a bit of everything.
