Yellow Café will open a third location at DC’s Union Market in 2024, according to its website. The Middle Eastern restaurant’s new location will span a 4,000-square-foot space, featuring a test kitchen and cuisine with wood-fired grill dishes.
The third spot will occupy the ground floor of an old meatpacking warehouse at 417-419 Morse Street NE, Eater DC previously reported. Additionally, the Yellow Café Navy Yard location will reopen on September 9 after temporarily shutting in February.
The Navy Yard location will return with Yellow Café owner and restaurateur Michael Rafidi’s Levantine pastries and wood-fired pita sandwiches, Axios reported this week.
Yellow Café’s menu features charcoal-grilled kebab sandwiches, sweet and savory pastries, breakfast sandwiches such as egg-stuffed pitas with labneh and herbs, mezze, seasonal hummuses, and Palestinian pickles.
Rafidi, the owner of Michelin-starred restaurant Albi, also opened a Yellow Café in Georgetown last year and he has an ambitious plan to introduce a pop-up on September 22 at that location, with an evening menu of wood-fired Levantine pizzas called “(not) pizza.”
