    I may or may not have stopped by Yellow simply for their soft service ice cream! I had the Labna flavored soft serve which is basically like vanilla yogurt. It comes topped with pistachios and baklava flakes. The best part? They pack more of those toppings within the cup, so you're getting even more chewy baklava goodness distributed throughout. Now, $12 for ice cream is a bit crazy, but so is buying anything in DC. It was also bustling in there so basically I need to return for their dinner!

    I'd been to Yellow the Cafe in Georgetown a couple times for breakfast and was curious to try their location in NOMA for dinner. I went with a friend on a Friday night and it was busy! About a 30minute wait. Once seated though service was fast and friendly. We decided to share a couple of dishes which is definitely the way to go. I recommend the octopus + soujek kebab and you have to order the hummus for the pita alone if nothing else - their pita is GOOD. And we finished the evening with the baklawa and pitaschio labne which was DIVINE, I'd go back for that alone. I'll admit having only tried their breakfast menu, the kebab prices caught me off guard especially when I realized it would be $20-30 for ONE kebab and everything else would be a la carte including any rice or flatbread. The quality is definitely worth the price though.

    We were recommended this place and super excited to try! There was a line when we arrived around 11am on a Saturday but it moved pretty quickly. We were hoping to try the Za'atar croissiant but they had sold out by that time, so definitely go early to get the best selection! It was packed but we easily found a couple seats and food came out super quick as well. We had the smoked amba chicken + BBQ lamb shoulder pitas and were really impressed. The BBQ lamb was amazing! We also tried the apple cider soft serve w/ candied almonds, which was yummy and refreshing. We finished it off with the pistachio basbousa (an olive oil cake)... I found it to be a bit too oily for my taste, but overall we loved the food and are so so happy to support Palestinian-owned businesses.

    Yellow has been on my list for a long time but I never wake up early enough to make it for breakfast without running into a line. Decided to drop by randomly one morning recently and finally got to try the daytime menu items. When I saw the menu ahead of time, I knew I had to try the Za'atar croissant - croissant filled with a lot of labne. Labne is my favorite, this croissant was definitely not lacking in labne or in flavor. The only thing I wish is that there was a warm option. I also had a little sweet option for later and had the chocolate halawa. The crunch on this thing is what was most memorable. It was sweet but not too sweet or overpowering and light enough it made you feel like you weren't breaking your diet goals too badly. Overall, I'd love to try some more menu items, was a little thrown off that they seemed a bit less special coming directly from the display, but they were still yummy!!

    Food: Yummy! Filled with lots of falafel and the pickles + feta + red shatta yogurt. I will be coming back for more! Service: Friendly staff even when they are busy busy ~ they don't lose smile~ :) Ambiance: Go early if you want to avoid standing in line. The place gets packed quickly.

    I was so excited to try Yellow! I had only heard good things, and I have to say that it lived up to the hype. I got a pita chicken sandwich and a decant pastry with pistachio and cherry. I also tried a fancy signature iced latte. Everything was amazing. I especially loved the pastry. I definitely want to go back and try some of their other goodies. They are often packed! I went during off hours to avoid a line. And I took my food to go to avoid scouting out a table.

    This was the one restaurant I shortlisted before our DC trip. I also wanted to try their different dishes Georgetown location, but unfortunately we never made it out to Georgetown. But this location was one I wanted to visit because of the kebabs. Glad it delivered, both on food and service (overall service was really good during this trip). The pita bread was excellent. It wasn't your traditional pita. It was closer to pizza bread. I asked if it was what they use for their Not Pizzas at their Georgetown location. It wasn't. Our server wasn't sure what the difference was but there was a difference. It was great by itself but even better with the hummus. We tried the lamb kebab and the butcher's steak kebab. I'm not sure if the butcher's steak changes. Ours was picanha. It was perfect. Get the habibi butter rice. We got ours crispy for an extra $2 but you don't have to. They don't have a kids menu. Our server recommended the soujek with the tahini on the side. It was like a sandwich. He liked it. I usually don't order dessert but I read so many great reviews for their famous labne soft serve I had to try it. Very good. The crunchy baklava at the bottom was a nice treat to contrast the creaminess of the soft serve. Lastly, I'll also recommend the Arak Lemonade. If you like sumac you'll like this lemonade. Reservations recommended.

    We wound up at Union Market and decided to stop at Yellow for an easy lunch. We started with a Moroccan Mint Iced Tea with Coco Cold Foam on top and a Mish Mish Soda (a light apricot & honey mix). We sipped and watched the people (it was hopping at weekend lunchtime) as the food arrived. I got a crispy falafel pita - perfectly cooked and balanced with bright veggies and a warm, crunchy falafel. It was the perfect size for lunch. We also split a Fattoush - a nice blend of apple, cucumber, feta, crunchy pita chips, and harissa vinagrette. Finally, we also got an order of hummus - the best, creamy hummus I've had in a long while, with HUGE fried crispy pita chips that were crunchy and lightly chewy. These things were awesome! When we stopped into Yellow, I didn't think it would be this good. But now I have a reason to purposely get out to Union Market. You should get out to Yellow, too!

    THIS WAY HABIBIS INDEED. gosh the arab representation in DC is UNREAAAAAL. As a SoCal native, seeing all the immense support for levantine and palestinian businesses in the DMV is an absolute fresh air, and all you gotta do is TASTE THE FOOD!! The lebna soft serve is so so delicious, reminiscent of tart frozen yogurt... but the pomegranate molasses is just perfect with it. BUT THE COOKIE???? DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED BEST COOKIE OF MY LIFE. oh AND THE COCONUT FOAM??? god i love Arabs i hope to make my mama proud and marry one someday. i'm so sad to be back in socal like i know i have anaheim and stuff but ive been converted to an east coast girly. THANK U YELLOOOOOW

    I had planned to grab something quick from Union Market. I had never heard of 'Yellow,' but the line out of the door and the Yelp reviews led me there. I loved my sandwich and my hot cider. I would go again! Pro Tip: Read carefully when reading the reviews. Some are for a restaurant with the same name on Georgetown.

    I was in the union market neighborhood and stopped by Yellow to see what the hype was about. It's like a cafe with grab and go feel paired with an open kitchen restaurant with a seating area for heavier foods. I felt kinda awkward standing around waiting for my drink order while all the seats were taken in the larger half of the space. The wait wasn't too long. I'm not a coffee connoisseur so take this review with a grain of salt. My Halawa Honey (tahini + brown sugar + honey) iced latte was good, but had like a grainy texture in every sip. I'm sure it has healthy properties and maybe would try it warm next time.

    This place is packed! It was a nice bright day and decided to go try Yellow cafe as people have been raving about it. I ordered the BBQ lamb pita sandwich. Unfortunately, it took almost an hour to come out. They initially told me it would take about 20 mins but when I went to the cashier, they said another 5, then another 5 again! In total I waited about 45-50 mins for 1 pita sandwich (,: Once it did arrive, it tasted amazing! The lamb was super flavorful, the feta added a nice salty component, and the veggies freshened it up. My only note would be to stuff the lettuce and tomato inside the pita so it's not all at the top. When we got to the end of the sandwich, it became too meat heavy.

We stumbled upon this new restaurant on the H Street corridor 8th street--a neighborhood that can feel a bit rough around the edges--but what we found inside was nothing short of a true gem. The moment we stepped in, we were stunned by how beautifully designed the space is. The décor feels warm, elegant, and thoughtfully curated, offering a calm retreat from the busy street outside. But the real magic arrives on the plate. Every dish we tried showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients, layered flavors, and a clear respect for the rich culinary heritage of the Ottoman and Istanbul royal family traditions. You can taste the care and legacy behind every recipe. This is not just another brunch spot--it's a place where history, culture, and freshness come together in a way that feels both authentic and elevated. They have both the upstairs and downstairs of the building. Upstairs is a great social gathering with a bartender and the back patio is nicely renovated that can host pet in the summer months. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely proud of what the restaurant offers. It's rare to find a place that surprises you in all the right ways, but Tiffany's Bistro & Bar does exactly that. A beautiful concept, executed with heart. We can't wait to come back.

When one thinks of a biscuit they think of a fluffy savory item that is a least the size of your palm. These "biscuits" were a joke! Hard as a rock and the size of a cracker!!! Either change the description on the menu or reduce the price significantly- heck do both!! Then the main items came out- we were there for brunch. We asked for over easy eggs, and all the eggs came out overcooked. The sausage was burnt to a crisp and lacked flavor. Given this is a Mediterranean cuisine the flavor should be popping! We had to send the food back at that point! The food that was returned back to us was not any better. This place had potential but the chef really needs to reevaluate his menu items and the final dish that is served to patrons. Would t not recommend.

I went on a Monday before noon so it wasn't really busy. I will say the space is really open and modern which I liked and it's located within the Waterfront.

The honey butter (I believe) was light and did compliment the biscuit very well. I just wished we could've enjoyed the same consistency across the two biscuits we ordered. The shrimp and grits was a solid portion. They didn't skimp on the jumbo shrimp or the sausage and this is definitely a dish you can share. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste but again, the meat in this dish was seasoned well. They used challah bread for their french toast which made it nice and dough-y. I thought this was the best dish that we ordered and again, can definitely be shared between two people. It's sweet on it's own, so if you don't have that extra sweet tooth, you won't need to add the syrup. I'd like to try this place again the next time I'm in town and maybe try out their mimosas and other entrees.
