“Cute, no frills neighborhood place. we got there super early at 5 and were the only customers there.
The food was good and fresh, kids had chicken shawarma platter and husband had the Ruben sandwich, I had the gyro special. My favorite of everything was the garlic sauce.
I'll definitely be back.“

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration“

“Me and my family eat Cava almost every week. We love the variety and unique options and flavors. The food always tastes good and it’s consistent at this location. The set up is a bit different compared to other places. There’s no register so you have to order thru the app, but the people who work there make sure to get your order made quickly if you are dining in. It’s always clean in the dining area and inside bathroom. All the staff are very nice!“

“The food is wonderful, the staff is warm and friendly and it’s priced very reasonably!“

“Family style meals are fantastic. Had eaten at a Greek relative's house. Ordered for the first time. Not only was the food delicious, each order fed about 8-10 people with folks having seconds. Lots of leftovers. Several asked guests made sure they had Talia's number when they left.“

“This is my all-time favorite place for Italian spaghetti. Excellent food. The servers are the best. If you drive anywhere near this place you should be sure to stop in!“

“The staff is very friendly great place to just have some family time and enjoy great food“

“Amazing tasty dishes and friendly service. My family loves the Old Gtown Wrap!“

“Celebrated a birthday dinner here & the food & service were excellent. The lamb & Chilean sea bass were well worth their price. The presentation was beautiful. Bottles of wine are available for a decent upcharge from store pricing. The chocolate mousse was incredible.

Shout-out to Miriam for her excellent service & for hyping up our dinner choices!“

“Delicious food. We wanted a bite after a hike in the Great Falls area and this sounded like a good place to try. There was plenty of free parking and we were seated immediately upon going in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything on the menu looked so good so we started off with some appetizers, both of which were delicious. I loved the Shirazi salad, which was delicious and refreshing. The kashk e bademjoon had a great flavor profile and went wonderfully with the pita bread. For my meal I had the chicken shawarma, which was probably one of the best I’ve had. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, with just a hint of cardamom. My wife had the apple orchard salad, and son the gyro Greek salad. This place is a must-try.“

“Please bring back the family meal!!!“

“I love it, the food is fresh and service is excellent!“

“The atmosphere is just wonderful, all the staff are just so friendly and welcoming.The food is AMAZING. The only down side is that the portions are smaller than what I guess we are use to. But very flavorful delish 😋“

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“I love Cava; I eat there at least once a week. Today, however, I found an inch-and-a-half-long piece of METAL in my salad from the Germantown MD location. 😫“

“Service was fantastic. Food was wonderful and atmosphere perfect.“

“I’ve visited several locations, and today I stopped in for dinner with friends while working in the area. The service we received was outstanding—truly top-notch. I believe the team members assisting us were Bellinda and Guisela, and they were both exceptional. I’ll definitely be returning the next time I’m in the area.“

“Alisa is excellent with service and outstanding at the front. She makes very good crepes and it tastes fantastic . She suggested us for banana strawberry crepe and was out of this world. Should have more people like her to represent your business. We will definitely come again for Banana strawberry crêpe .“

“Wow! What a fantastic place! I didn't expect much coming in for a business meeting, but both the atmosphere and food was just amazing!
Interior design is so well done - all the details are impressive, as well as a general look and feel.
And food... mmm.. food was 10 out of 10. 2 light dishes, dessert, tea and cocktail - everything was simply delicious! All the tastes in each dish are perfectly combined!
Service was average, but the other two components compensated fully for it.
I strongly recommend and I will definitely come back soon!“

“1st time and will be back!“

“Positively DELICIOUS WITH ASTOUNDING QUALITY OF BOTH SERVICE AND CUISINE! I love this place, and didn't know about it for my 50 years in Rockville.. I had the BIG kabob platter, which I shared with Mike, my friend and LARGE ENOUGH FOR TWO; the chicken and lamb were both succulent and expertly seasoned, just "right." I couldn't giver more than 5 stars, but would've given seven.“

“Everything was delicious! We especially loved the eggplant curry. Lots of options, mild, spicy, vegetarian, meats, etc. Will definitely be back.“

“Although my favorite is the Bowls; everything is fresh, healthy and delightful! The food is scrumptious and the restaurant is always, clean and the entire team is welcoming and professional. I frequent the Germantown location several times a week and am impressed everytime. The staff feel like family. The management at this store screams SUPERB Leadership!!!!!!!“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“
