We are thrilled to announce that we’ve donated 10% of proceeds from our limited-edition “Madam VP Meets West Africa” bowl to (RED), an incredible NGO that aims at expanding access to treatments for preventable and treatable diseases, including HIV/AIDS. The dish, a collaboration between our Culinary Director and Executive Chef Benjamin Murray and Chef Tolu Eros, featured Chef Eros’ signature Unity Jollof Rice with a unique West African twist and quickly became a crowd favorite. We’re proud to support RED’s impactful #mission and extend a huge thank you to Chef Eros for helping make this initiative a #success!

Happy fifth birthday to us! Five years ago, we took a leap of faith and opened our first restaurant, Immigrant Food directly in front of the White House, quite the statement at the time. This was our tribute to the #immigrantcommunity and their countless contributions to our country - a place where guests can gather, share, and enjoy flavors from around the world. Five years and four locations later, we’re more committed to our #mission than ever and excited for what’s to come. A huge thank you to our incredible team and loyal guests - none of this would have been possible without you! Join us today until 3pm at any of our locations to celebrate and enjoy ANY bowl or sandwich for just $11.12!* ?? *Promo not valid for catering/private events

Crazy about Caesar Salad? So are we! That’s why our Culinary Director and Executive Chef Benjamin Murray reimagined it with a twist: the Miso Caesar Salad. This Immigrant Food classic is loaded with shiitake “bacon,” crispy wonton chips, nori, and sesame. And since Eater DC named it one of the 12 must-try Caesars in DC, we think that you should give it a shot ????.

This #ElectionDay #immigration is on the ballot! Go vote tomorrow and make sure to stop by for a global bite at one of our four locations - guests who show their “I voted” sticker will get a free Agua de Jamaica. We hope to see you tomorrow and remember: immigrants make America great ??.
