Wow, this place is extremely popular. The lines move very quickly, but there's nowhere to sit unless you're lucky, or maybe if you come early. They have two section - one is more comfy/relaxed than the other. The other side = cafe style tables. Both sides were packed with people. I did want to get something light to eat, but chose not to because of the seating situation. I ended up getting the Moroccan mint ice tea as per recommended by the cashier. It was minty and very refreshing.
We had already eaten so we just tried pita and hummus and it was stilll AMAZING. The worker there too was so sweet and asked my name and then later on remembered my name when we got icecream. The icecream was so soft and creamy. It was packed, even at 2pm on a Monday, but I would definitely go back.
I've only been here before to grab a hot tea when I was sick, but I've heard so many great things about Yellow that I was excited to finally come back for breakfast with my friend. I ordered the peanut latte and potatoes, and both were AMAZING! I honestly wish they gave you more potatoes because they were that good. My friend ordered the hummus, which he really enjoyed because he always gets it whenever he comes here. When we arrived, the line wasn't too long, but the tables were pretty full. We were able to find seats outside and eventually grabbed a table inside. The cashier was super nice and friendly while taking our order. The woman bringing food out to the tables was also such a sweetheart and always had a smile on her face. Yellow has both indoor and outdoor seating, and I really enjoyed the cute, cozy vibe inside. I also noticed that the tables were cleaned promptly as guests left, which I always appreciate. Overall, I had a great experience and can definitely see why I've heard so many good things about Yellow. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Why'd it take me so long to visit this place?! It's awesome! Service was fast and friendly Great seating options and a good spot for remote work (a bit loud so noise cancelling headphones recommended) Fun latte selections I tried the BAKLAWA MOCHA with oat milk. It wasn't too sweet and held a perfect blend of walnut, rose, and orange bloom. Very creamy and enjoyable There is also a great selection of savory bites, sandwiches, and pastries I decided to try the SFEEHA and that was soooooooo good! The flavors were nothing short of delectable Can't wait to return!
Yellow continues to live up to the hype. I stopped in for the skillet with lamb and a croissant sandwich, and both were excellent. The skillet was packed with flavor the lamb was tender, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the other ingredients without feeling too heavy. Every bite had a great balance of savory spices and freshness. The croissant sandwich was equally impressive. The croissant itself was buttery, flaky, and clearly made with care, while the filling was rich and satisfying without overwhelming the pastry. What stands out about Yellow is how they blend Middle Eastern flavors with exceptional pastry technique. The food feels thoughtful and unique, but still approachable. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, and even when it's busy, the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile.
Yellows hype is so well-deserved. I usually don't reach for lamb but the meat in the lamb pita was tender and flavorful, though I wasn't a fan of the meat to sauce/veggie ratio until about halfway through the pita. Iced peanut dalgona was very light and peanut flavor was pleasantly subtle. Shata batata was phenomenal-- crispy, warm, and super well-seasoned with zaatar among others.
- flank steak pita has lots of tangy and savory sauce and aromatics and has LOTS of meat - assembly of pita is really awkward to eat since sauce and veggies are all at the bottom but meat is all at the top - cafe gets super packed and it can be overwhelming esp bc everyone just stands around waiting to pick up their order. line moves quickly though - orange blossom croissant it has a light citric taste through out and a nice light glaze - rose strawberry cruffin is light fluffy and has a delicious sweet light tangy filling - dalgona latte doesn't have any flavor but coconut cream is good
Great, fresh Levantine food. We (vegan and meat eating patrons) visited in the afternoon and ordered the veggie pita and steak pita. The guy helping us suggested the steak although the chicken was their most popular. The steak was very tender and flavorful. I heard the veggie pita also had great flavor. To drink we had the hibiscus lemonade and the mint iced tea with coconut foam. The lemonade was refreshing and definitely a unique menu item, but it left me wishing I had ordered an iced coffee. Service was fast and friendly. It's counter service and you can take a number to dine in--though there's limited indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is an air conditioned shop with nice natural lighting near Georgetown with plenty of shops to wander to nearby. They also have merch--like a Habibi bucket hat--that you can purchase to capture the vibe.
Breakfast pita was super yummy! I honestly was expecting double the portion based on the cost, so was a bit shocked to see only half the pita. After getting over that initial disappointment, the taste was great and offered a great deal of flavor. The labneh soft serve is fantastic. The addition of EVOO, sea salt and pomegranate drizzle was a great touch to the already flavorful and tart base. Also felt very refreshing on a sunny day.
Came here with a friend to do some work in a different setting. Definitely super crowded and can get very loud indoors. There's a lot of seating indoors but can be a little hard if you're looking for a quieter atmosphere. They also have a couple of seats outdoors. The pastries were almost barren/nearly sold out, but definitely saw and have had previously the chicken shawarma pita sandwich which was delicious! This time I ordered the Halawa Honey which was a bit too sweet, but it was a nice twist of flavor and you could taste the tahini. My friend ordered the Baklawa Mocha which was a little too icy and I felt had too much milk. It drowned out the other flavors which was a bit disappointing.
So honestly, this review is a little strange to write, as I went on the night (unbeknownst to all of us) that Yellow was doing their final "pizza" service for the foreseeable future. We had a late reservation, and when we got there, the server told us they were holding two pizza crusts just for us because THAT WAS ALL THEY HAD LEFT, never to be made again. So, it won't necessarily help a future visitor, but nonetheless, I am fairly sure everything you get here is darn near guaranteed to be 5-stars. The pizzas were phenomenal, but there was plenty we had that is going to be staying on the menu. All the different mezze we snacked on were wonderful, highlighted by the humble hummus. Which... not so humble here... was incredible. We dipped all our pizza crusts in it, which the menu highly recommended. The cucumber salad was alot a fresh highlight, with a bright dressing, lots of colorful inclusions to excite your eyes, and fresh veggies throughout. We didnt partake in dessert, but the bakery was still well stocked with choices even near the end of the day. I'm sure I'll be back to Yellow, and they'll be doing something different but amazing. Thanks!
OK, the food here is pretty good, but I was pretty disappointed by the wait times here on the weekend. As I was coming from out of town, I didn't know the popularity or hype. It is so loud and so crowded inside that it makes my skin crawl. Food ordering took a long time and we were in the line for brunch, but by the time we got to counter, we were five minutes past that time and they already stopped the brunch menu so we had to do lunch. The pita we had was great it was super fluffy. The chicken was very flavorful. I was just really off-put by the line management and how long the waits were.
Incredible and worth the wait and hype. They serve an assortment of yummy caffeine and non caffeine drinks as well as delicious pastry and savory options. Highlights: -the pita and hummus are so good, pricey yes but very delicious -the peanut dalgona was something I've never tried before and it was not too sweet (best compliment ever) To know: -line moves quickly, but there's limited seating both indoor and outdoor -you order at the counter then pick up your food before finding a seat

Busy and popular place. Takes credit card. It's pretty expensive. The line moves quickly but there is limited and not much room inside for seating. There's outdoor seating. I would take a friend here but I prob wouldn't come here regularly. Excellent pita bread. It has nice chew and texture. The labne (yogurt) with pita is a good. Za'atar- croissant with labne ($7.5)- it's looks nice. The exterior of the the croissant is full of herbs with yogurt inside. Chicken pita ($17)- pretty good sandwich. Chicken is cooked well, soft. The chicken flavor is not very strong. BBQ Lamb shoulder pita ($20)- actual bbq sauce on shredded lamb. The bbq sauce is super sweet. BBQ sauce is out of place. I would skip this Shatta batata ($13)- hash brown tater tots- potato cubes deep fried, it's cooked well. It comes with a mayo dipping sauce which is average. I would skip the dipping sauce. The potato with hummus is good. Red shatta hummus with pita chips ($11)-th hummus is probably the best item they have. Skip then pita chips, it's too salty. The hummus is super creamy. The feta cheese is a perfect compliment to the hummus. Tamarind Ice tea $6- refreshing, enough tamarind, with lemonade and ice tea read more

This place is seriously busy! We managed to snag a table in the middle of weekend brunch rush, and I'm so happy I got to try a bunch of items on the menu. The pita is so incredibly fluffy and goes well with everything. I loved the well seasoned chicken accompanied by lightly dressed veg and a creamy garlic sauce tucked into a fluffy pita pocket. The layered potato tots were both crisp and soft but honestly didn't quite live up to the hype. We also tried the classic hummus with the pita chips, which are real pita bread fried in house. While I enjoyed their thickness and crunch, the portion of chips didn't quite match the generosity of the hummus. Please up your chip game. Hummus was soooo delectably tangy and rich. Loved the fresh evoo and herbs scattered on top--really provided some extra texture and variation. The golden date latte is a quality espresso drink and lightly sweetened with date molasses (aka date syrup for you refined sugar free lovers). It was the perfect drink to wash down all the savoriness, but I must say that the cardamom was stronggg. I will 100% be returning to try out the other pitas and stunning pastries. Love Yellow! read more
Mid-morning coffee run! Yellow had a bit of a line (apparently it's much longer most days/times) so be ready to wait a while. I got the baklawa latte which was walnut, rose, and orange flavored. It was definitely a little more fun than a normal latte, the flavor gives you more to think about than just coffee flavor. I think I need another time or two to be fully sold on this one, but I don't tend to put fruit flavors in my coffee. It's super busy in the shop, you will need to snag a table when you get in if you have the chance, but it's a great vibe. read more
Soooo freaking delicious!!! Also yellow is my favorite color so I love how the decoration is all yellow! Can't wait to go back and try more of their amazing lattes and all the other foods... service was nice and easy :) They are very busy, you're lucky if you can get a table on the weekend haha it's for a reason read more
I honestly thought this place was just okay for all of the hype I saw online. Granted I do feel like I need to go back for the pastries as some of them were gone by the time I got there. I was excited to try the baklawa but that was gone. So pro tip, go early! We got the orange blossom croissant and cardamom morning bun. The croissant was okay and the morning bun flavors did not sit right with my palette personally. I ordered a falafel pita which I did enjoy the flavors of that a lot. My friend got the bbq lamb pita and it was just okay. Preferred the falafel for sure. It was pretty packed in there and hard to find seating but once a seat opened up we were able to snatch it quick so keep your eyes peeled (especially if you go later in the day) read more
I had heard a lot about this place and wanted to see what the hype was about! The interior of the restaurant is casual yet very thoughtfully decorated, with cute pops of yellow throughout. The servers were extremely kind, knowledgeable about the menu, and happy to make recommendations. For drinks, I ordered the Levantine G&T. This was a delicious, refreshing drink. Urfa pepita crunch- listed in their hummus section but this is labne, which is yogurt-based! The labne was smooth and tangy and was offset perfectly by the crunchy aromatics and nuts in the center. The pita was warm and fluffy. Harissa (not) pizza- absolutely obsessed with their take on pizza with plenty of crust on the edges to eat with hummus/dip if you please. I loved the heat from the harissa. I'm not really sure what makes this a *not* pizza, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. All the menu options looked so good it was hard to choose what to order! This place is totally worth the hype and I'd love to come back to try more! read more
I'm a little hesitant to write this review since everyone is crazy for Yellow but I honestly would give it 3.5 stars. I went on a rainy day to avoid waiting in a long line and probably still waited 10-15 minutes to order! It's a really small storefront and the inside was PACKED. You order at the counter on the left and wait at the counter on the right to pickup which gets very crowded. There's seating on both sides but with people waiting for their food and hovering to grab a table it is incredibly busy! I had no chance of getting a seat as a single diner and think they could really benefit from some barstools along the wall. I ordered the smoked amba chicken pita and the tahini brownie. My food took about 15 minutes to come out which was not bad at all. The pita was really good and the chicken was flavorful and tender. Really enjoyed the sumac onions as well. Solid food options but the overall customer experience was just not enjoyable! I would check out their Union Market location next time. read more
There is a line out the door and for good reason! The food here is top tier! We came for lunch and tried a bunch of the different sandwich pitas. We did the lamb shoulder, falafel, and chicken pita. I'd say the pork was my favorite, then the falafel, then the chicken. I never usually like falafel, but this one was so crispy and had such an evening seasoning blend inside. The pickled veggies and sauces mixed throughout every bite of all the pitas were so flavorful just wow! Packed in such a delightful punch of savory and tangy. The pita bread itself was such an amazing vessel for the protein and toppings like wow what a pillowy texture! Next time I must try the baklava! Definitely come here if you're in DC! read more
Yellow is an amazing bakery!! I was picking up bakery items to go. I got the blueberry + labne coffee cake, the za'atar croissant, the soujek + cheese bear claw, and the jammy egg shakshuka croissant. They were all SO delicious. The star of the show was the shakshuka croissant but I would re-buy everything. They all transported well too. The counter staff was so helpful as well! They helped me pick out the bakery items and were so sweet. I didn't sit inside since all of the items were to-go but they had lovely seating and a second seating area further in. I am definitely eager to come back and try the rest!! read more

This place really is a gem. From the flavors of the food to the unique choices for coffee and even those savory sweet pastries that hit the spot. Absolutely delicious I came in on a Sunday the line moved extremely fast for it being out the door. The staff was patient with me in regards to some of my pronunciation and I appreciate that. The yellow pops everywhere and the space is expertly designed. Definitely visit if you are near one! read more
The reviews weren't kidding when they said there would be a line. We reached around 11 and yes the line was almost at the end of the block. Thankfully it moved quickly. Actually I was very surprised by how quickly and efficiently they were taking orders and making them. Kudos in terms of being ready for the crowd. We wanted 1-2 items and ended up with five because of their menu. We really enjoyed the speeha (lamb flatbread with a delicious garlic labneh), the jammy shakshuka croissant (flavorful), the deliciously moist pistachio bousbousa, and the hearty Smoked amba chicken pita. Would 10/10 order these again. Where it fell apart was the coffee (and this was the original reason we went here). Really wanted to try what they call a baklava mocha which is supposed to have roasted walnuts, rose, and orange blossom. Well, it tasted like nothing and if I absolutely had to assign a taste, I'd say like a watered down cleaning product. Instead of remaking it, I requested for the honey halawa latte which also tasted watered down but I scooped out and discarded all the ice and then it tasted more like coffee. I think there's something wrong with the ratio of espresso and flavors they're adding to their lattes and they may need to revisit their recipe. But just one star off for this fail because everything else was truly grand. read more

I really wanted to love this place :( yellow's decor and ambiance are very bright and inviting, and the wait staff was so kind and helpful. we split a pizza, which was very tasty, but the ribs fell short in terms of flavor and presentation, and only receiving 3 ribs for the price point felt unnecessary and honestly just not worth it. We also got the affogato, but we had to send it back because the ice cream had a taste that we were not expecting and regrettably didn't care for. For an establishment with so much hype behind it, I definitely had higher hopes for this one. read more
I stopped in here after reading some good stuff about the place . The restaurant is clean, bright vibrant and full of energy. The staff is helpful and the food was really amazing . I was recommended to try shakshuka which I have never had before . It was amazing and is definitely a comfort type food . It was great for breakfast. The coffee and pastries were also very good. read more
I was in town, working remote, and thought I'd come post up here for the morning with some delicious food and coffee, however, they do not offer wifi. There were several people working on their laptops, but I just felt a little confused about the vibe. Was it acceptable to work there? The Golden Date Latte was good-- but don't get it if you like chunks of dates in the bottom of your coffee. I'll try another coffee drink next time. And the breakfast egg pita was REALLY good. I still think about it, now a week or two later. I would come back here, but not to work. (And I think that's what they want). read more

The kind of greed they talk about in the Bible I somehow have never tried @yellowthecafe in @unionmarketdc so had to try a little of everything! The highest of highlights were the charred corn labne dip and of course the spicy red shatta hummus! read more
Phew! This place gets busy but don't let the long line deter you, it goes pretty fast! I truly had no idea what to get but ended up getting their golden date coffee and the chicken pita. The coffee did have a spice I wasn't familiar with. Tasted good but it was different! The pita was spectacular!! 10/10 Would get again. read more
I went to Yellow with a friend for a Tuesday evening dinner and it was a great spot to catch up. When we arrived around 5 it was pretty quiet, but it quickly filled up with a nice energy. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The food was fantastic and packed with flavor. We ordered the oysters, the crispy rice with lamb, lamb kabobs, and the pita. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The pita was warm and fluffy, the lamb dishes were seasoned perfectly, and the oysters had such a unique and delicious preparation. Overall it was a wonderful experience with great food, good service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely come back and recommend it for both a casual dinner and a night out with friends. read more
We lucked out and arrived as they were opening and were just in time to grab a table. The space is small but cozy with a relaxed vibe. We started with the falafel jibne, and ordered the lahm bi ajeen (not) pizza, which came out quickly, was delicious, and perfect for sharing. The Mish Mish Spritz was just okay, and I'd probably try a different drink next time. read more
WOW! We came here for a morning brekkie & I must say this place is worth the hype. We ordered the Zaatar Egg Croissant, Urfa-thing Egg Bagel, Wood fired shakshuka. The croissant was flaky and so nice. The bagel wasn't your heavy typical NYC style, it was soft and had a really nice flavor. I also ordered the halawa latte, which was really good. Highly recommend as our group was contemplating whether we should go here for breakfast the next day. PS - Seating can be hard to find and breakfast is till 11am only! Lots to walk around this area as well! read more

My friend hyped up the labne soft serve with baklava and pistachio and wow it very much lived up to the hype. The labne soft serve itself was rich and like a creamier version or frozen yogurt. I loved the baklava pieces inside that really added to the flavor. We also tried the seasonal (?) new item called Maryland crab (not) pizza and it was very interesting. We were not disappointed at all. The parsley and spices surprisingly complemented the corn and crab. The bread reminded me of naan texture and was delicious. Their customer service was lovely; answering all my questions and giving out 10/10 smiles :) read more
For my 500th, I wanted to go to some place unknown to me and getting good buzz. I do like the bakery-café approach, so Yellow got the nod. I enjoyed everything that I ate here, took home some baked goods, and adored them, too. Their lamb meat pie, called sfreeha, is excellent; the various food and spices combine just right, like a party in your mouth. I very much appreciate the steak pita sammie, which is NY strip cooked with a deft touch of green harissa and topped with mint. It's memorable. Being a hot day, I was parched, and the sumac lemonade was refreshing, stimulating. The line went out the door at times when I was there for lunch, but it moved along pretty good. The bakery items that I devoured later included orange blossom croissant, cardamon raspberry bun and an oversized everything bagel, which toasted up like a dream and is one of best bagels I've eaten--ever. This is the best new restaurant find for me in 2025. I'll be back for sure. read more
This was an impromptu drop in since I was in the area for lunch somewhere nearby. I'm rarely in Georgetown. So, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see what all of the buzz is about here! I was greeted immediately and they were so patient with me being a first timer, esp during a busy lunch hour! They went over the menu with me on the popular items and which works best for certain appetites and food restrictions (vegetarian, etc). I ended up grabbing a raspberry morning bun, Lamb Awarma with pita bread upgrade, and a Morrocon Mint Iced Tea to drink. First off, the tea was absolutely phenomenal! Definitely refreshing and I almost ordered a second one to go! The lamb awarma hummus was divine and paired oh so well with the fragrant pita bread! So good! The pastry was soft, not too sweet, and hit the spot for a nice breakfast craving! It's Georgetown and parking on this street is always hectic, especially on the weekends. There is quite a bit of inside seating and some outside, too. They prefer you to be present with yourself as well as your surroundings and do not offer wifi, which I can appreciate! I am guilty of having my face glued to my phone. So, I respect the nod for patrons to disconnect over a cup of coffee or lunch. Pricing was pretty good and I will definitely be back again to try some of the recommended wood fired pitas, batata tots, and the jammy egg shakshuka croissant! Everything sounded amazing, honestly! I dont think one could go wrong here! read more
Really amazing drinks and pastries but beware of the long line and crowds. I got a bit overwhelmed. There's seating but it fills up fast. Some outdoor seating available as well. It took about twenty minutes to order and get my items to go! I definitely recommend the apple chaider and the orange blossom croissant. You can't get pastries warmed but they have a more expansive food menu for daytime and night. I'd love to return to try more menu items soon. I went on a Sunday and found free street parking nearby. read more
We did dinner there for the first time - tried their (non) pizza menu. Service was great. We learned that you can order a vegan pizza which was off-menu & so yum! Batata Tots, Falafel Jibne (stuffed with cheese), Burnt Eggplant pizza with ground lamb, Pita Bread, Classic Hummus, Sfeeba (mini finger meat pies) were an absolute 5/5. Though everyone raves about their Olive Oil Cake (with pistachios), it was a little too sweet for our group - soaked in a lot more syrup than expected. They have casual cafe style indoor & outdoor seating. The wait was almost 1.5hrs for a table for 4 on a Wednesday night. read more
Beautiful interior and delicious coffee!! Stopped by Yellow for their speciality iced coffee and it didn't disappoint. I came on a weekday around the late morning and there was a bit of a line to order. The wait didn't take too long though, maybe like 10-15 minutes. I opted to try the coconut cardamom from their iced coffee selection. I enjoyed the coconut cold foam and the slight hint of cardamom. It was not overly sweet. There is some seating throughout Yellow but it is normally pretty filled up. read more

Arguably some of the best hummus I've ever had! My friend got a pita and it looked so good, I wish I ordered that too. The ambiance is busy and it may be hard to find a seat inside but the service didn't feel too long. read more
The cafe itself is small and cozy, so you should expect a line and limited seating. My girlfriend I and went around noon, and we waited in line for about 20 minutes. All the seats were full when we first arrived but we were able to secure a table right as our order was placed. The hummus had a rich olive oil flavor and the pita chips were crunchy/seasoned generously with herbs. We got the baklava turmeric latte which was a unique flavor with an aesthetic latte art. The wrap was a nice size full of meat and veggies. Overall, nice experience! read more

Yellow has been on my radar for years, especially after hearing Phil Rosenthal rave about their pitas. I finally stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon, which worked out perfectly, no line, and we were able to grab a table right away. I tried the halvah latte, which was just okay and didn't quite live up to expectations. However, the falafel pita was excellent, and I'd absolutely order it again. That said, I can't really imagine waiting in a long line for the food and drinks here. Still, I'd love to come back and explore more of the menu, especially the soft serve and the labneh croissant. read more

I absolutely love the pita here! We came here based off a friend's suggestion. It was pretty packed on a Sunday at 2:40pm despite it closing at 3pm so I knew it had to be good. We ordered a falafel pita which was so delicious. It was STUFFED with tasty falafel, veggies, yogurt, and other nutritious and healthy ingredients and everything blended together so well. We also ordered red shatta hummus with pita chips which was super flavorful. read more

I hear that breakfast is the way to go and they were correct. Opted for the recommended breakfast egg pita and it was scrumptious. Didn't know how great YELLOW is but now I'm a believer. Just as the guy in line who didn't think we'd make it before 11am as I hear the menu changes and there's a hard stop. A very nicely designed front store. The walls are bare but plenty of seating throughout for semi large groups. read more
I visited on a Friday morning, so my review is based on the coffee drinks and pastries. Everything was delicious; I truly didn't have a bad bite! The coffee drinks had interesting and unique flavors I've never had in latte drinks before. Next trip here I personally don't think I'd get the coffee drinks again BUT the pastries are a different story. Everything was a hit with my group. Even the ones that didn't look as stand out as the others (i.e. the orange blossom croissant), was unassumingly the best tasting. The hint of orange flavor with a delicate glaze was amazing, and we finished that pastry first. We also loved the za'atar and labne croissant, which was a good savory to balance the sweets, and it was generously filled with labne. 10/10 pastries run in the morning! read more

This is hands down my absolute favorite lunch spot in DC. It's perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal you can enjoy by the Georgetown waterfront, or you can dine in--the indoor space has a really cool, vibrant atmosphere. I always get the chicken shawarma, and recently tried the hot harissa version. Personally, I prefer the regular chicken shawarma, but both are solid. I've also had the tots with dipping sauce--so good--and the hummus is a must-try. The one downside is the line, which can get pretty long, but honestly, it's worth the wait. The food is on the pricier side (about $18 for a pita), but the portions are generous, so you're definitely getting your money's worth. read more
This place was absolutely phenomenal. Please note there are always lines here but it's worth it. My cousin and I waited about 15-20 minutes in line and were able to find a seat. The service is quick though once you get in line - just be sure you're ready by the time you are in front . It is always busy but there were seats everywhere. The ambiance overall is great though. Because I waited a while, I got many different items to try, including the chicken shawarma, baklava croissant, iced latte, potato tots and my cousin also got the hummus pitta to share. My favorite was the hummus and pita. The hummus and pita are so flavorful and reminds me of their other restaurant, Albi. read more
