Chef Cagla Onal opens My Little Chamomile, a new Georgetown restaurant serving dinner with a focus on Turkish-Mediterranean comfort food. Inspired by her mother's cooking, Onal aims to create a welcoming atmosphere where guests can indulge in homestyle dishes like stuffed artichokes, braised lamb, and grilled seafood, while enjoying hand-pulled breads. The restaurant features a cozy, intimate setting and a succinct drink menu. My Little Chamomile is described as an homage to mother's cooking, reinforcing the importance of quality ingredients and straightforward flavors.
Onal emphasizes the authenticity of her restaurant's offerings, stating, 'I always say, what you read on my description on the menu, that's what you get. I like that kind of food-just like your mom tells you.'
The focus on communal dining experience is paramount, as Onal dreams of diners using 'lots of napkins' while enjoying hands-on dishes like her artichokes stuffed with herb rice.
