Creative Kebabs Take Center Stage Inside D.C.’s Newest Yellow Cafe | Eater DC

"I found that Yellow’s months-old Union Market location (417 Morse Street NE) launched a playful, kebab-focused dinner service called “All the Kebabs” beginning Saturday, November 14, exclusive to that site and cooked on the cafe’s open hearth. The rotating, charcoal-grilled lineup opens with six kebabs — including barbecued pomegranate lamb kefta, soujek-spiced octopus, and autumn vegetables with halloumi — plus a harissa chicken wing kebab that, as director of operations David Van Meerbeke notes, has “a nice level of spice” because the harissa is cut with lemon and delivers the charcoal-grilled chicken-wing flavor you’d expect. Individual kebabs are $26–$32, and there’s a $75-per-person tasting menu that loads the table with chef-selected kebabs, salads, pickles, wood-fired pita, hummus, habibi rice, and soft serve. This marks the locale’s dinner service debut (Tuesdays–Saturdays, 4–9 p.m.), with plans to eventually accept walk-ins and offer takeout; reservations went live and have nearly sold out for November. Rafidi conceived the menu as an homage to his grandfather’s D.C. kebab specials from the ’60s and ’70s." - Lenore Adkins
