Albi Washington Reviews from The Last Year
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.
Incredible 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.
That 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!!
The food was sublime.
The service was first class and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would definitely come back again
This is an update to my review from 2020, which is mostly
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.
Yummy, 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.
I 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.
Albi 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.
When 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.
Certainly 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...
Dinner in Washington, DC
Wow this place is hard to snag reservations on weekends—finally was able to secure Friday evening reservations for 2! Arrived a bit early so we grabbed a drink at the bar—the Za’atar-Tini (vodka) and The Stronghold (bourbon) were tasty, we enjoyed it! Food was delicious, everything was well-flavored and huge portion! For appetizers, would recommend the Pita + MD Crab & Hummus and the Yellowfin Tuna. For entrees, we liked the BBQ’d Warak Dawali, BBQ’d Lamb Kebob and Duck + Foie Kefta. The only dish that was a bit unreasonably priced was the BBQ’d Lamb Kebob, for $82, which was overpriced for that dish—good but not enough to make it worth getting. Service was fantastic! Our server Jay-arr was great—friendly and attentive! Food came out fairly quick too. One thing to be aware, is the food menus can be a bit confusing with terms the average person doesn’t come across—they provide a little dictionary card to help, but it’s still frustrating to keep looking back and forth from the menu and card.
Delicious! Chef Star holds true to standards at this restaurant, food was so fresh and scrumptious. Service was great .
We were visiting from Oregon and friends who live in DC highly recommended Albi and made reservations for us. We had no idea what to order and they ended up ordering for the table. The food was amazing…we sampled so many things off of the menu; and I recommend all of it.
Fabulous!
We had dinner last week at Albi - the three of us agreed it was one of the very best all time dining experiences we have had. We were not familiar with the food and our server was terrific explaining dishes and giving us recommendations. We shared each plate--the delicious Sfeeha , then the homemade incredible Pita with a mushroom hummus and also the eggplant hummus- both unbelievable! This was followed by an unexpectedly delicious Fattoush salad of stone fruits and feta, lovely potatoes with a garlic aioli and we capped off the meal with the Smoked Bobo's Chicken which featured a fabulous sauce underneath. The seasonings were lovely -nothing overly spicy - truly perfection. The service was terrific and the chefs in the open kitchen were amazing to watch. It is no wonder this restaurant earned a Michelin Star! Hats off to the talented chefs and to the attentive servers and staff!

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
