Ayat DC

Run by a husband-and-wife duo, the dining room is centered on hospitality, storytelling, and Palestinian heritage. The all-Halal menu brings the bold flavors of za'atar to the table alongside freshly carved shawarma and vibrant mezze spreads. Surrounded by embassies and civic activism, it serves as a neighborhood gathering point for everything from daytime brunch to late-night takeout and dinners after work on the Hill.
