Mélange DC — Restaurant in Washington

What a wonderful fancy hamburger place, the environment and area is beautiful. The style of the dining room is pretty and relaxing, its a nice hamburger joint.

The service is good and quick, its a self order type of in-door dining, so kind of bice to try something new. But the food is amazing!

Double Cheese Burger: The burger is wonderful, the meat was cooked nicely and had a lot of juice, it was also very big, so one burger will fill you up. The seasoning and toppings was very complimentary. Wonderful burger!

The National Chicken Sandwich: The chicken was good and the fried egg adds a nice touch. The sauce was very tasty, but I cant pinpoint a similar example to compare it to. I wish the chicken was more crispy, but it was still good.

Coffee And Chocolate Smoothies: This was an awesome touch, the smoothie tastes exactly what you would expect. The ingredients are good quality as well, so you won't get that generic sugary variety at most places.

I would say, come here for burgers...

Really interesting concept of an Ethiopian-infused burger & chicken shop, but the flavors didn't come together enough for me. Love that this place exists though, really cool, and some definite highlights for sure.

I had the National fried chicken sandwich, with spicy doro wat style fried chicken, kebe aioli, turmeric slaw, and I skipped the fried egg. It was good but not epic. I didn't really like how strong the turmeric flavor was, it kind of overpowered everything else. Definitely worth a try, and really well put together in terms of presentation.

Their berbere fries were terrific, and if you like Old Bay on fries, it's got a similar smokey and tart spicy flavor to it.

I loved their mocha shake, really delicious with coffee and chocolate ice cream, cocoa paste, and whipped cream. Served in a classic fountain glass, really nice.

I sat outside and they brought the food out. Good staff.

Great location on the main drag...

We went there on Monday around 2pm and the place wasn't crowded. I had the National Chicken and the others had the Italian and Double burgers with sides of fries and sweet potato fries.

It was kinda humid that day so we waited inside while our food was being prepared and went outside when it was ready. At the time we were there they only had outdoor sitting available and dining inside wasn't available.

The National Chicken Burger was so good. I was afraid it might be a bit spicy but turned out to be perfectly balanced and the runny egg on top made the burger even tastier. Though I didn't personally try the other two burgers, I was told the Italian and Double Burgers were also really tasty.

This was my first time at this restaurant and I loved the National Chicken Burger and highly recommended any burger lover to try it. I can't wait to go back and eat more of that...
