Albi | The Michelin-Starred Oasis in DMV's Food Desert

A friend's highly recommended restaurant that definitely didn't disappoint! Albi is a Michelin one-star restaurant in DC, recently named one of the Top 50 Restaurants in the USA ✨ (#34! ✌️). The dishes are uniquely flavorful and incredibly satisfying for the Chinese palate – reminiscent of Xinjiang-style barbecue! Many hail it as the best restaurant in DC! 🔥 Immersive Dining Experience Chef's Counter (Hearth Table): Face the open flames where chefs grill lamb and craft sauces over charcoal – an aromatic, therapeutic spectacle Tasting Menu: An 8-course narrative journey with chef's explanations throughout, optional wine or non-alcoholic pairing Cultural Storytelling: Palestinian-American chef masterfully blends Middle Eastern spices, traditional clay oven cooking, and modern presentation 🌟 Signature Dishes Decoded • Lamb Kebab Colorado lamb shoulder coated in Dukkah spice blend, perfectly charred yet juicy • Baba Ghanoush Walnut-smoked eggplant with pomegranate molasses and pine nuts, layered smoky flavors • Freshly Baked Pita Oven-blown into "balloons", torn to dip in hummus – warm and wheaty • Creative Tea Pairing Mint cold-brew tea + rose rock tea, offering complex non-alcoholic pairing options 💎 Service Excellence Pre-meal dietary preference survey + handwritten occasion cards Custom cutlery for each course with chef's storytelling Departure gifts include spice blends and dessert boxes extending the experience 📍 Essential Info Address: 1346 4th St SE, Washington DC Attire: Smart Casual Price: Chef's Counter $450 for two (pre-tax/tip), à la carte ~$150/person Reservations: Book 1 month ahead via Resy – new slots released Mondays 10 AM When charcoal aromas explode with Middle Eastern spices When the chef leads the team shouting "Yalla!" in Arabic This restaurant transcends dining Becoming a moving celebration of fire, humanity and civilization #DCMichelinGameChanger #AlbiFireCuisine #MiddleEasternRevolution #FoodDesertOasis
