Astor International Cuisine

Do yourself a favor and come get the best fries, the best pizza, and the best gyro/kabobs DC has to offer. This place has the best pizza I’ve ever had in DC and I was born here and have eaten everywhere. Of all the places I’ve tried there hasn’t been better service or better pizza or gyro quality anywhere in the DMV. Do yourself a favor and come get the best fries, the best pizza, and the best gyro/kabobs DC has to offer.

The pizza here is phenomenal—a crusty outer crust , light and airy inside, a firm underside and the dough is peppered with caraway seed—a really amazing dough. Robust zesty sauce and high quality mozz...just a “where have you been this whole time!!” DC pizza that immediately had me thinking of the next time... The owner is cool AF here too, fun place and good vibes.... Top 5 DC pics in my book now

When I used to live in Adams Morgan 14 years ago, this was my go-to neighborhood joint for healthy, homestyle meals. One of the things I used to do on Friday evenings was get a takeout order. My favorites were the fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks stew; or the grilled chicken; or chicken kabobs - which all came with 2 sides and pita bread. They serve grilled salmon as well. They made, what I call rice-a-roni - better than that commercial brand - laced with subtle spices. Those family-sized​ portions always lasted me through the weekend. I also remember every time I stopped by, I’d see folks ordering this stuff that looked like green and red peppers in olive oil 🤔. Finally, I tried it and it was soooo much better than I expected. It was actually eggplant in this luscious, mild tomato sauce with subtle seasonings that made it simply delectable! From that point on I always included this ‘stuff’ in my order by pointing to the ‘stuff’ through the glass display at the counter. So, fast forward: I’m visiting my hometown and wondering if my neighborhood joint is still open…Hurray! I’m very happy to be in a familiar place seeing that not everything in DC has changed. Guess what? I now know what that ‘stuff’ is - 😆! I ordered 4 along with lamb shank stew and the ‘rice-a-roni’ to take back to my home in NYC! Homestyle, family-sized portions and a relaxed, no-nonsense​ atmosphere. A family-run​ business. They must be doing something right.

I really feel like they gave me amazing customer service. I called, texted and left an order note about me being pregnant and making sure the feta is pasteurized. I know most is, but better safe than sorry. They were patient with me and I ordered my gyro with no cheese to be extra safe. The food was great and this was an excellent first experience with them. I will be back!

How anybody gives this place less than 5 stars is beyond me! It was PERFECT. I have been to Athens, Turkey, and the Latin Quarter in Paris and enjoyed Mediterranean there. This little place took me back! The service was phenomenal and friendly. I had the gyro, hummus, and French fries. I 100% recommend them all! The fries were some of the best fries I’ve had. There’s a different texture and taste to them. They’re so crisp! The gyro was great and so tender. I could go on and on! I highly recommend this place. Super affordable too!

Love this place, has become my go to spot on Adams Morgan. Food is delicious and authentic, haven't had a bad choice on the menu yet. Very friendly staff, made friends with the guy after a few visits and now he hooks it up with the portions. Not that he needed to you absolutely get your bang for your buck but I'm definitely a regular now. Would highly recommend to anyone.
