Parking Is Limited, But There Are A Few Spaces Directly In Front Of The Restaurant.

The Space Is Small & Intimate, But Very Welcoming. It’s Only Been About A Year Since They Opened, But It Feels Like A Place That’s Been Around Much Longer Because Of The Love And Energy Inside.

The Customer Service Here Is Top Tier!! 🌟

It’s Owned By A Husband & Wife “The Medinas” They Are Truly Special. So Warm, So Kind, & So Genuine. They Make You Feel Like You’re Being Welcomed Into Their Home For A Meal. 🥘

WHITE RICE 🍚, RED BEANS 🫘, AVOCADO 🥑 & GRILLED SALMON 🍣 {Build Your Own Meal} 🍽️
EVERYTHING About This Plate Was Perfect!!!!! 😍
The Rice 🍚 Was Cooked Just Right With The Perfect Amount Of Salt. The Red Beans 🫘 Were Rich, Flavorful, & Surprisingly Had No Meat, Which I Loved. *So Many Places Add Pork, But Here They Automatically Cater To Different Dietary Preferences Without Sacrificing Flavor.*
The Grilled Salmon Was Cooked Exactly How I Requested, Honestly Even Better Than I Expected. The Attention To Detail Was Impressive.
And Of Course, The Avocado 🥑 Brought Everything Together For That Perfect Final Touch, I Left So Full & Satisfied.

EXTRA SIDES:
TOSTONES WITH GARLIC 🧄
Double-Fried, Flattened Plantains Lightly Salted And Topped With Garlic Oil (I Requested This And They Delivered). So Good & Perfect With The Rice & Beans.

FRIED PLANTAINS 🍌
Made Exactly How I Like Them, Sweet, Perfectly Fried, & Not Overly Sweet.

CHEESE EMPANADA 🥟🧀
OMG 😍 The Cheese Pull Was Insane. Crispy Outside, Loaded With Cheese Inside, They Did Not Skimp At All, So Delicious.

MALTA 🥤
I Had To Get A Malta, A Traditional Dominican Drink That Paired Perfectly With My Meal. Sweet, Rich, & So Satisfying.

I Had To Try As Much I Could To See What I Would Like & Everything Was Amazing. I Was Overwhelmed Yet Beyond Satisfied. Literally Everything They Make Is Delicious. 🤤

Super Reasonable Prices With Plenty Of Options. Some Food Is Ready Buffet-Style While Other Items Are Made To Order. You Can Dine In Or Take Out But I Highly Recommend Sitting Down & Enjoying The Full Experience If There’s Available Seats.

This Place Is Something Special. Authentic Dominican Flavors, Amazing Hospitality, & Food Made With Real Love.💕

I’m Definitely Going To Be A Regular Here As Much As I Can. I Truly Hope They Get The Recognition They Deserve Because This Place Is Truly A GEM 💎.”

“best birria tacos 🤤🤤🤤🤤 recomend”

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.”

“Every Saturday you can go here and get the Everfresh brand beverages and more. I go about twice a month to stock up for my family. The staff is very friendly and helpful.”

“The best tacos and quesadillas I ever had”

“It was a nice place to eat. The restaurant was clean. Food was really good. We were 6 adults with 5 kids and we didn't have to wait for the table. Service was really good too.”

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.”

“comida súper deliciosa y una excelente servicio 👍🏻”

“limpieza desayuno calientito y rico cafe”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!”

“Amazing! The staff was welcoming from the moment you walk in the door!! And the..Food was globally inspired with a twist, and beautifully displayed. Truly felt like a gift to stumble upon this establishment!!”

“I enjoyed the green zone, it had me flying high. Flying high when I tried their coffee drink. There was so much in it I don’t even know what to call it, but look at the picture, it looks delicious. I payed a pretty penny for it too, but pennies I got. This place cost a lot of green so bring your wallet, credit card too. Have fun, it’s good (at least their coffee drink is).”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“Must have the Mochi fantastic”

“Absolutely phenomenal experience through and through. The cocktails were the star of the show! All were fantastic, but Little Hats and Fast Trains was the crowd favorite among greats. The food was genuinely excellent. We shared the entire menu and found everything to be delicious and creative. The service was outstanding as well. The space is intimate and has an informal vibe for how elevated the cocktails are which we enjoyed. Prices are beyond reasonable for the quality. Can’t wait to go back, take an Uber cause you’re gonna want an extra cocktail!”

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.”

“Service and atmosphere were excellent.
The food did not live up to my expectations of Hong Kong/Cantonese flavors... We found this restaurant through the Eater channel on youtube. After our meal, we decided the food was better described as French cuisine with HK influence. I honestly wanted a little soy sauce and rice vinegar with everything. Umami was largely missing from every dish except the duck noodles.
***The chili oil was delicious, floral with balanced heat.***
Split between 2 people:
-green beans (Fine, good texture, but needed more acid to balance rich sweetness. The topping of pickled anaheims were not enough to balance the entire plate),
-dumplings (gentle truffle flavors and nice sweetness from the espuma, but overall unremarkable)
-scallion pancakes (little to no allium flavor, dough was tough, lacked flakes/delicate texture, lacked salt and acid in the sweet tamarind sauce)
-daikon fritters (overwhelmingly bland and dry, needed a dipping condiment)
-Duck noodles finally had some flavor! (But the duck appeared smoked, closer to pastrami... tasty, but not what I expected from duck noodles at an HK restaurant.)
The wine was good. I did appreciate the selection of natural wines.
Overall we were disappointed based on our expectations for and previous experiences with HK/Cantonese dining. The textures and flavors reminded me of a low sodium, easy to chew menu prioritizing French techniques and flavor profiles.
Table condiments (besides chili oil) would have fixed most of my complaints, but I felt embarrassed to ask based on the atmosphere. I felt that my personal culinary tastes were misaligned with the deeply thoughtful and dining experience.
We were not the target diners for this fine establishment, but I recognize the passion, excellence, and personal intention behind every design and culinary choice at Queen's English.”

“Easily one of my top five dining experiences, anywhere. I've eaten at some of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in NYC, Philly, and D.C., and days later I'm still thinking about my meal at Albi.

The BBQ lamb kebabs were a core memory taste moment. Honestly, they may have ruined lamb for me anywhere else.

Other standouts: the sfeeha, foraged mushroom hummus with wood-fired pita, batata harra potatoes, bbq prawns, knafeh, and the super intriguing urfa biber caramel soft serve (a must if you're into sweet and spicy desserts).

Beyond the food, the service was just as memorable. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server Todd was a total gem.

Can’t wait to return.”

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.”

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend”

“Delicious brunch and excellent service!”

“Unexpectedly outstanding vegetarian menu. The eggplant nigiri sauce was memorable, followed by refreshing radish-wrapped vegetables. Toasted rice beautifully complemented the creamy panna cotta. The entree was the best; the bamboo texture was just right. Pickled mushrooms had good bite, their acidity blending perfectly with leeks and cilantro sauce. Perfect ending with a refreshing sorbet and rich chocolate.”

“Great food great service!”

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service”

“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .”

“very tasty Ethiopian dishes and very good atmosphere also excellent services!!!!”
