Tonari is a great spot for innovative flavors served via the best comfort foods: pizza and ramen. Make a reservation for days with events at nearby Capitol One Arena because this is a popular spot for both food and drinks. Check out the cute crochet foods for sale on the bookcase next to the bar as a keepsake from an amazing meal experience.

Food was great, however, they changed their menu significantly and took off all the meat dishes (Iskender kebab and others). Now they only have kebabs with ground beef and chicken (no more cut meat)
