Established in 2003, Oohh’s & Aahh‘s has become a culinary cornerstone in the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. As a beloved city staple, our establishment transcends the conventional restaurant experience, offering not just exceptional soul food but a genuine taste of the city’s spirit and diverse culinary landscape. We stand as a testament to the vibrant soul of the nation’s capital, striving to preserve black culture and proudly serving as a culinary ambassador for Chocolate City.
Our dedication to soul food is rooted in culture, community, and flavor, providing a welcoming and inclusive space for both locals and visitors alike. In solidarity with those advocating for justice and equality, we actively fight against hatred and racism. Recognized with esteemed awards, including the “Cheap Eats Award” and the “Best Macaroni and Cheese” by Washingtonian Magazine, our national acclaim was further underscored with a feature on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” hosted by Chef Guy Fieri.
