Located in the same strip as Marathon Deli, Krazi Kebob is one of the better options for a quick bite in the area. Basically the same layout as Chipotle, but instead of tortillas you get a burrito wrapped in freshly cooked naan. You have some similar ingredients, like rice, lettuce, cheese, salsa, and corn, and sour cream, but also chickpeas, lentils, and different chutneys and sauces. Fair warning, some of the ingredients and sauces are extremely spicy, so ask if you aren't (or are) a fan. For protein, you can get chicken tikka, steak, falafel, or paneer. Everything is good and comes together well, particularly the naan. There are also burrito bowl, nacho, and naan quesadilla options. -
The trend is certainly exploding...just walked by DC Pizza on my way to lunch. I'll try it out after dropping a few RW pounds. -
As long as you're driving an hour, go another 45 minutes and hit the best BBQ place in VA, the Barbeque Exchange in Gordonsville. EVERYTHING is good here, especially all the sides. The place started as a side project for the chef at one of the local inns (Craig Hartman at Keswick Hall) and has gotten so popular he actually quit the chef job to do the BBQ full time.

Java Green Organic Eco Cafe 1020 19th Street, NW (between K and L St) 202-775-8899 Website here Eve Zibart writeup here This place is all vegetarian with sandwiches, wraps, salads, noodle bowls, rice bowls, much of which are Korean. It's also very "green" in its practices (e.g., purchasing 100% wind power and biodegradable serving ware). I had the boolgogi and kimchee rice bowl, which I enjoyed. It came in a bento box with fermented flavorful kimchi, good jobche (or japchae) noodles, fake meat boolgogi, a red (kinda burgundy) tinted rice with what looked like wild rice type grains in it, and Korean hot paste (kochujang) that was thinned out into a sauce. The boolgogi was a pretty good vegetarian version though of course it didn't taste just like the beef version because the seitan gives it a different flavor. I also tried a side of the popcorn chicken -- little chunks of fake chicken – that were good dipped in the hot sauce that came with my bento box. I'd definitely go back.
