Their food was amazing! Let em tell you something, flavorful isn’t the word! You’re getting the full experience here! And they have hookah too! The bar drinks are great as well. Doesn’t disappoint!

One of the cozy spots around Shaw area which is close to convention center. Me and my girl had to take Uber since dc parking lil bit hard, but we made it for dinner and some cocktails. Our servers was so friendly and help us choose what we eat which is cool. We tried egg rolls which was delicious and my girl had lamb chops that was reasonable price and so delicious. I would say lemon drop was so fire for the happy hour price was so dope. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have chill vibe, drinks and food. Btw the fact they had a DJ was interesting too.

Silk lounge is a great lounge. Came here for Happy hour around 6pm, they happy hour is from 5pm-9pm. The food was amazing! I ordered vegetable egg rolls, oxtails egg rolls and lemon pepper wings. Everything was great and wings with amazing without me asking for them extra crispy. My drinks was strong and my shot tasted like the Tequila I ordered. Music was great, Vybz was good, and the bartender Rahel had great good customer. Even tho it started getting a nice cyber with her being the only bartender for the night, she moved fast and remember exactly what I ordered. I will definitely come back again and will recommend anyone to honestly check it out. Hookah 30 durning happy hour, drinks 12.

Rahel is an absolute rockstar behind the bar! Her drinks are top-tier—smooth, creative, and perfectly mixed every time. She keeps the energy up with her friendly vibe and knows how to handle a busy crowd like a pro. Whether you’re craving a classic or something unique, she’s got you covered. If you see Rahel behind the bar, you’re in for a good night. Highly recommend!

Very elegant place the best egg rolls and hookah in the city.

I was on My lunchbreak and wanted to try some Ethiopian food but when I got there at 8pm it was the late menu. I decided to try some Mumbo Wings and Fries being this was DC and all. The waitress was very nice and helpful. There was a DJ playing SOCA and Carnival Music. The Women were dancing it was amazing. The place looks really good.

Silk never misses! The hookah selection is top-tier — smooth, flavorful, and always fresh. Their happy hour deals are pretty reasonable, and the food - everything on the menu is packed with flavor, and there’s a great variety to choose from. The service is always exceptional — friendly, attentive staff that really make you feel welcome. Silk offers immaculate vibes and their DJs consistently spin great tracks that elevate the whole experience. Whether you’re coming to chill with friends or enjoy a night out, Silk never disappoints.

5-Star Review for Silk Lounge, Restaurant, and Bar in Washington, DC I recently visited Silk Lounge during a trip to DC for a partner meeting, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! I travel frequently between New York and DC, so I’m always on the lookout for great spots. A bartender at Kitchen Cocktails highly recommended Silk Lounge while I was and I’m so glad I took her advice. The atmosphere at Silk Lounge is amazing—chic and welcoming with a perfect balance of energy and elegance. The bar was well-stocked, and the drinks were crafted with precision and care. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality, and the vibe was unmatched. This is definitely going to be a go-to spot for me whenever I’m in DC. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great evening out in the city!
