I had the pleasure of having one of the best dining
I had the pleasure of having one of the best dining experiences here 2 weeks ago. The restaurant itself is very intimate in size, but beautifully designed. The kitchen is open and faces the dining area for an added open experience touch. I went with a group of 6, so we had a lot of dishes to sample. Highlights for me were the pita and hummus (my God, the pita)! I wasn't a hummus fan prior to coming here, but I'm now a believer. I ordered the lamb chop dish as my main course and it was divine. It was accompanied by just enough veggies on the plate to not need an additional side of vegetables. I cannot wait to go back! And as expected at an establishment like this, the service was top notch. Someone was always checking on us, refilling our glasses, anticipating our needs before we realized we needed something. 10/10 experience.
Be the first to ReplyIncredible restaurant.
The service is amazing and the food is even better. This is the perfect spot for a special occasion. The food is flavorful and plated incredibly. I couldn't recommend the Sofra enough. I think this restaurant perfectly encapsulates middle eastern cuisine and fine dining. The drinks are unique but honestly not the best I have ever had. The service is wonderful and it is a very intimate space.

The service was first class and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would definitely come back again
Be the first to ReplyThat may have been the best dining experience of my life!!
That may have been the best dining experience of my life!! My husband and I are beyond full and beyond happy we had the opportunity to experience such an outstanding dining experience! We also reserved a special table inside the kitchen so we got to watch as the cooks prepared all the food. The chef even came and did special presentation at our table. If you ever want to treat yourself Albi is a 1 Star Michelin Restaurant that truly deserved that star!! Everything was out of this world!! Some of the best food I have ever had the pleasure of eating! It was a 6 course tasting menu with everything from oysters and caviar, truffle covered egg yolk, and the best skewered lamb you have ever had. The dessert was ice cream made from yogurt and more! We are both in a literal food coma, and happy about it! Best night ever!!

This is an update to my review from 2020, which is mostly focused on the unfriendly welcome and service we initially received. My reservation was for a party of 5 and all but one person arrived on time. We were seated and immediately the waitress dove right into the menu. We started with a couple of appetizers and decided to wait to order our entrees, which for some reason annoyed her. A couple of minutes later a different waitress came to our table, and rudely told us we had to place our entire order right away because we had a 2 hour dining limit. Utterly confused and annoyed by the attitude, we politely told her we were going to wait to place our entree since we didn't know how hungry we would be after ordering all of the appetizers. As my friend was about to ask her a question about an entree, she took the menu away out of his hands and walked off! We were all in disbelief and couldn't believe the behavior of the staff. My friend immediately spoke to the manager and explained what happened and she immediately came over to apologize and reassured us that it was not typical behavior and she shouldn't have acted in such a manner. She wanted to make it up to us and turn the situation around, so she sent back our original waitress. Needless to say, the rest of the dinner went well and of course the food made up for the rude behavior. It still left a bad impression on all of us so we will not be returning. One of my favorite restaurants in DC is now no longer and I honestly hope they improve their staff.
Be the first to ReplyYummy, great Palestinian food.
I come here every time I get my nails done and Navy yard, and if I'm lucky when yellow is open, I go there in the mornings for coffee and treats.
Be the first to ReplyAlbi is okay.
The ambiance is nice but the no walk in concept when tables are open is weird to me. The food was just okay. It's on the expensive side and I didn't get the wow factor! Not sure if it's trendy and that is why it's sustained all these years but I do think they will need to get better with walk ins, why wouldn't you want to make more money? They are only open 5 days a week with a VERY limited menu. Nothing I ordered was worthy of a review. The mint was used too much and it literally ruined my palate. They add their own twist to traditional Mediterranean dishes, unfortunately that was not for me. Traditional food would have been nice the extra touches make for good presentation but the taste didn't do it for me.
Be the first to ReplyI will be dreaming of this meal until I return for my next
I will be dreaming of this meal until I return for my next dining experience. I am so impressed with the vegan options here, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall experience. I did not make a reservation and luckily scored a seat at the bar by coming 15 minutes early and waiting for them to open their doors. The host sat my husband and myself and we were immediately greeted by Olivia at the bar. We let her know it was our first visit and she gave us a glossary for the menu in addition to the menu. I absolutely love the Albi made a glossary. It helps you understand the menu without having to bombard the employees with a countless number of questions. We ordered the smoked carrot kibbeh naya and mushroom hummus with no egg for our meal. Both items were phenomenal. The kibbeh naya was so light, refreshing, and colorful with the vegetables on the side to make lettuce wraps. I also thought it was fun having such an interactive meal with making the lettuce wraps have whatever toppings from the bowl you wanted. The hummus and pita was such a show stopper. The hummus came out fully puffed and stunning. The oyster mushrooms on top of the hummus were cooked to perfection. This meal tasted hearty and meaty with the mushrooms bringing so much texture and flavor. The hummus was silky smooth and balanced out the mushrooms well. The pita was coated in seasonings and was certainly the best pita of my life. We enjoyed sorbet for dessert and I wish every business made sorbet like this. The sorbet tasted like ice cream because it was so thick and creamy! It was topped with a date caramel that I wish I owned a whole jar of. The sorbet had a nice sweet and salty component and the presentation was stunning. I was so happy to dine at Albi and I have many more menu items to try. I am so thankful they could accommodate vegans. Additionally it was fun to try a Michelin star meal without breaking the bank. If you Judy get a few items you can have a fine dining experience without it costing too much.
Be the first to ReplyWhen I visited DC recently, I wanted to take my hostess
When I visited DC recently, I wanted to take my hostess with the mostess to dinner. As we both like the finer things in life when it comes to dining and cocktails, I let her pick. She selected Albi, a Michelin-starred restaurant honoring Chef Michael Rafidi's Palestinian roots while marrying them with local, seasonal ingredients. We had a reservation, and opted to sit at the bar because it is always entertaining to dine at the bar. We ordered: +mushroom hummus +Yellowfin Tuna +Duck Breast Shish +Chicken We probably ordered other things too, but I cannot remember. I do however, remember that everything we had was great. For cocktails I ordered the NEVIZADE NEGRONI and the ZA'ATAR-TINI - both were super interesting and delicious. The entire experience at Albi was divine, from the service to the food to the vibes. The chicken was most definitely the most tasty and interesting dish I have had this year so far. I learned from a friend that "Albi" means "my heart" in Arabic, and you can most definitely taste that the recipes at Albi come from the heart. Would return in a heartbeat, as this spot made quite the impression on me this visit.
Be the first to ReplyCertainly worth the wait given I had to book a reservation
Certainly worth the wait given I had to book a reservation for two people about 3 weeks out (to be honest I completely forgot about it until I got sent the reminder) Ended up doing the Sofra menu since I wanted to get a sense of what was what. I think if you have it in the budget, go for it unless you've been here before and know what you like. We also did the wine pairing which honestly had some of the most delicious wines I've ever tried. Not only were they fantastically paired but they also were incredibly unique and you can tell the sommeliers had a good time picking them out. Sat right next to the open kitchen and was impress by how orderly and well run it was. The service itself was impeccable and I'm not sure what the other reviews are complaining about. Maybe they got rid of one of their hosts...

Did the chefs table experience and it was wonderful!!! Would recommend 10/10 on food quality, service, and ambiance. Perfect portions in each plate of the pre-fixed menu, paced over 2.5 hours. Cocktails are also great. Will be back!

The tasting menu at Albi was a great way to celebrate a special occasion.We had dinner on the early side which was good because the restaurant was very light and airy work a vote of the woods burning oven. Plus, it was quiet for most of our meal. As the space filled up,it did get louder so again, for us, it worked out that they only had earlyreservations available when we booked. The service was very good and helpful. My only suggestion would be to include a listing of the courses one is about to enjoy. The staff did try and explain everything, but, with the masks and the increasing noise level, it was really hard to hear what we were eating. More importantly though, everything tasted great and looked beautiful. Though there was no written explanation of what we wouldeat/ate, there was an interesting glossary on the table with informationabout Levantine ingredients. The dinner was well paced and we never felt rushed or forgotten. I do know what we had to drink because we had a drink menu. We enjoyed rhymes with Saab and a nevizade negroni. Although both were good, my preference goes to the rhymes with Saab that was fruitier with a great tamarind and date combo. For our meal, to the best of my ability to describe.... We had something which was tasty and a very pretty yellow... Next was oysters (I rarely eat them which was evidenced by my slurping them from the wrong side and them getting stuck in their shell... I might have looked silly but they were still good. Next came toasty-things with a spread full of spices. The spices were my favorite part of the meal. They graced the fish and the naan and many of the dishes and tasted so fresh and delicious. Next was a lettuce wrap. It was also good but several of the components were chunks and chunks don't stay well inlettuce wraps. So, I just ate them separately when they fell out on to the plate or the table or my hand.... There were grilled mushrooms and silky hummus and puffy bread. Many of the dishes also had the perfect smokiness. I am normally not a fan of smoky but it was done so well at Albi. Small toucheslike the warm towel to wash your hands mid meal were very gracious and welcomed (see above about stuff falling out of the lettuce wrap and into my hands). I think the perfect couple of bites of the flaky fish were my favorite parts of the meal. After eating so much bread (yum!) we started getting really full and asked our server for boxes to pack up some leftovers. Instead, he took everything to the kitchen and brought back a coat check number that we could use to request it when we left. This was a lot nicer than having the boxes and bags sitting on the table. I think they might have even kept the food warm. I was bummed that I was so full whendesserts came because the first one (and I could only eat the first one,dessert number two came home with us) was beautiful and delicious. It was just the perfect parfait of cream and sweet and I'm not sure what but yum. Maybe if we had a copy of the tasting menu, we would have been able to better pace ourselves, but, everything was so good that I probably would have eaten just as much. Besides, mom always said not to fill up on breadbut these giant puffs of warm spiced naans - could not resist...
Be the first to ReplyThe food here really blew my socks off.
I'm new to the area and Albi was probably the best restaurant experience I've had in DC. Every dish was amazing- delicious, beautifully presented, well executed. My only complaints are that the tasting menu was really slow paced - we waited what felt like 15-20 min between courses and dinner on a weeknight took over 3 hours for a few courses - and parking is near impossible to find. I recommend the tasting menu if it's your first time. We'd definitely come back and order a la carte off the menu.
Be the first to Reply4.5, rounding up. This is the kind of place that I'm drawn
4.5, rounding up. This is the kind of place that I'm drawn to and the menu is exciting to me. My better half joined me with high expectations and a willing spirit, which is all I can ask for, as it's definitely not his jam. Hostesses were kind enough to fit us in as a walk in due to cancellations that night. Emma our server was helpful as we reviewed the cocktail menu. We opted for ala carte vs fixed menu. The mushroom hummus with the egg on top was silky and flavorful and the pita piping hot and light. We also loved the eggplant spread. We selected the lamb because of all the great reviews and I really love it. Hubby was game to try but the flavors just didn't do it for him. I enjoyed the charred meat and flavor, it there was so much. Maybe an option for an half order given the price point? Also enjoyed the unique presentation and taste of the potatoes as well as the tuna kibbeh lettuce wraps. Deferring all desserts til after lent but they did look pretty spectacular at nearby tables.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing meal! My husband and I started with the sfeeha
Amazing meal! My husband and I started with the sfeeha (open-face lamb pie with tahini), which may have been our favorite bite of the night. The mushroom hummus with pita made me mad at other hummuses. Why aren't they this good?? Then the sweet 'n sumac yams, wood-fired oxtail dolma, and smoked duck shish--all amazing, but I think my favorite was the dolmas. We were stuffed, but heard too many good things about dessert here and the labneh soft serve was worth the hype! Highly recommend Albi!

We came for the Chef's Table and sat at the Hearth Table in the kitchen. My wife who is a pretty picky eater entertained me with going and was cautiously optimistic. She ended up loving everything we ate, even though it was outside of her comfort zone. The service was amazing as well and we ate a ton of food. Watching the kitchen staff work in unison was a fun to watch as well as all the things they cook with open fire. I definitely recommend going and taking in the full experience of what Albi has to offer! What a great birthday meal and Chef Rafidi was nice enough to stop by and thank us for joining them in the kitchen.

Disclaimer - I did not eat anything except dessert here and sat at the bar so my experience is definitely different from a normal dinner. We were wandering around on a cold Saturday night and popped in for a drink at the bar. When I found out they had kunafe I was thrilled. I've been working in the Middle East for 5 years and am obsessed with this dessert. Albi does it right - brown butter with yogurt ice cream -- so so so delicious. Also had a couple glasses of one of my favorite rose bubbly wine- Bougey Cerdon. Hubby loved his hot turmeric rum drink. I can't wait to come back sometime for the full dining experience.
Be the first to ReplySo sad and disappointed as this used to be my favorite
So sad and disappointed as this used to be my favorite restaurant in dc. I unfortunately will not be returning or recommending the new albi experience. Prior to the recent change eating at albi was an experience for the taste buds like no other with different flavors exploding in your mouth with each bite. I was always amazed at the balance of the spices and flavors. The only down sides before was the often dry and not so attentive staff, and the staff explaining/presenting the dish would often talk low and mumble.They recently changed to a tasting menu only and slimmed down the options. No a la carte of trying new things with each visit. They charge $95 per person plus drinks. You used to get WAY more for the price point they charge today and you got to pick your own options from the entire menu. Being able to try new things each time you visit without breaking the bank was part of the joy of the experience. If you tried something new that didn't work for your taste buds, you could get something different for not a big up charge. Would pay more for the old albi experience vs the current.They took away the yummy falafel bites and sweet n sumac carrots. They used to have a baba ganoush hummus that was my fav (non hummus baba ganoush as is on the menu doesn't work for me). Usually get the mushroom hummus when they don't have the baba ganoush hummus so I tried something different this time. Tried the sweet corn hummus w lump crab, didn't work for me. They used to have a fish, chicken, or kebob options for the mashawi. Not a lamb fan in general but the chicken and different fish were always on point. They took the chicken option out so only fish or lamb kebobs. Was thinking no biggie will get the fish, it was so salty I couldn't even eat it. The balance of the spices on the food has changed, even on previously loved items. The dolma bbq duck snack was new and delicious. They brought out one scallop for 2 people to share that was raw and didn't work for me. The staff we had was dry and not attentive but that was always a possibility previously too. They used to be more efficient with the timing of bringing out the food. They used to wipe the table down between tastings and even give you a warm wet cloth to wash your hands, that is gone too. I inquired about the change a was told they recently did a "relaunch". I'm wondering if the recent michelin star influenced the new change and/or something else. What remains of albi and the recent relaunch just doesn't have the same vibe, bring back the original albi!

Everything we had was perfectly executed and bursting with flavor. Service was great. It's a bit expensive if you get anything to drink or add anything on. We paid north of $300 for 2 people, 2 drinks each. And it took around 2.5 hours start to finish. But it was a great experience and the food was unforgettable. DO NOT miss the pomegranate olive oil soft serve. It's incredible and 100% worth adding on.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic meal.
As many have noted, the mushroom hummus was incredible, and the pita that came with it was perfectly charred, beyond fluffy, and piping hot. We went after they had switched to the prefix meal. We selected the fish for our main course, and the buttermilk sauce that came with the fish was so delicious, I could have licked it from the plate if I was alone.They were really great about emailing ahead of time to find out any dietary restrictions and make sure there was more than enough for me to eat. My one tiny gripe was that there was a significant time gap between each course. While I appreciate not being rushed, dinner ended up being close to 3 hours, and on a week night when I have work early the next day, getting out of dinner after 10 is rough for me.

I dropped in for lunch at Yellow Cafe, housed in the Michelin-starred Albi restaurant in the Navy Yard area of DC. Yellow cafe serves breakfast and lunch, and they operate as a carry out, but there is outdoor seating available on the patio on a first come, first serve basis. I ordered the smoked lamb shoulder pita with pink lemonade. The pink lemonade was perfectly balanced, with equal parts sweetness and tartness. Honestly, I would stop in just to order the lemonade. However, the real star of this meal is the lamb shoulder. The pita itself was huge and very filling - I have no gripes with the portion sizes when it comes to this meal. But the taste?! The lamb literally melted in my mouth. It's so tender, I almost feel like they had to have smoked it for at least a week. On top of that, the flavor of the lamb, paired with the included toppings of cheese, onions, and sauce is amazing. The sauce has a little kick to it as well, so if you like spicy food, this is the meal for you.If I had one complaint, it's that this meal is way too expensive to be considered lunch. The quality is definitely there, and you get what you pay for, but this may be more of an indulgence vs an every day type of lunch meal.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food and service.
The only thing I didn't like is that if you want to order their tasting menu your party needs to order the same thing!!! It just doesn't make sense!
