I’m Palestinian- I would say Ilili first, then Albi and then Mama Ayesha (which is Palestinian). The Chef at Albi is also Palestinian and has his cafes that are fast casual but also excellent called “Yellow.” Ilili is traditional Lebanese and they also have one in NYC that is very well known, so I would pick that hands down if you can go there.

Ilili is probably my favorite restaurant in DC, can’t talk about the authenticity but it is definitely worth trying

Yellow the Cafe has an amazing urfa- thing bagel (actual name) and albi lives up to the hype.
