Ayat is a Michelin Guide-featured Palestinian restaurant bringing the bold flavor of Za’atar to the heart of Washington, D.C.

Where Palestinian heritage meets the culture and diversity of the capital, Ayat offers a warm and welcoming space centered around hospitality, storytelling, and unforgettable food. Surrounded by embassies, history, activism, and community, our D.C. location reflects the spirit of a city built on culture, conversation, and connection.

Located in Washington, D.C., we proudly share Palestinian traditions through food, from slow-cooked Mansaf and Maklouba feasts to freshly carved shawarma, vibrant mezze spreads, and oven-baked breads made daily with care. Every dish represents generations of resilience, family, and pride.

All Halal. All delicious. Always made with dignity.

Whether you’re joining us after work on the Hill, gathering with friends for brunch, ordering takeout for a late night in the city, or hosting a catered event anywhere across the DMV, Ayat brings people together around the table.

Run by a husband-and-wife duo, Ayat is more than a restaurant. It’s culture, conversation, and comfort food done right in the nation’s capital.
