“Exceptional dinner in a fabulous setting! Visiting from Chicago and we're completely impressed. We are foodie people and used to top-notch restaurants and this was perfection! Staff was very friendly yet professional. We ordered the family style menu and it was worth the price.“

“The most deliciously innovative meal that we’ve experienced within memory. Modern, Greek-accented food, elevated by sophisticated yet subtle use of herbs, spices, dressings and sauces. The menu contains numerous vegetarian offerings, although carnivores will also be happy. Excellent cocktails and drinks, attractive setting, efficient and pleasant service.The sole disappointment: noise. If you’re not enamored with loud acoustics, try to reserve a more quiet booth or visit during off-peak hours.***DETAILS: I was very skeptical about booking at Melina because the menu appeared complex and fussy. My concern was that the results would be discordant and underwhelming. Happily, I was dead wrong. Melina’s chef is one of those rare souls capable of orchestrating a symphony of flavors for the palate. We loved our charred baby gem salad (enhanced by its light and sprightly dressing); the squash app (brightly and unexpectedly accented with pear, black garlic and fried kale), the portobello main (deep-flavored and satisfying) and the lamb neck (generous and succulent.) The bougatso dessert, capped with a remarkably smooth Greek brandy, offered a celebratory ending. Looking forward to returning.“

“This has become my favorite brunch spot. I meet my friends here every time we need to get together. The variety of food/tapas and how they just bring it to you and clean up as you eat. My favorite is the jam and butter, the meat flatbread, French toast, and the poached eggs! The mimosas are good too, however I recommend ordered from the cocktail menu as the champagne in the mimosa is not the best. Their espresso is the best espresso I’ve had compared to all the coffee shops. The staff is always so accommodating and have such great customer service. The vibes and decor is just so perfect too! 10/10! Highly recommend.I do go for brunch and it’s on weekends only, and you have to make reservations!“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“A good meal with well prepared Mediterranean dishes, however I found it slightly underwhelming compared to expectations I had beforehand. I was allocated at a table outside which turned out to be somewhat uncomfortable due to the cold weather, the restaurant could have heaters available. The inside ambiance is much nicer, with great architecture and ambient music, the right choice if available when going to this place. Reservations are apparently necessary, however I got a table just by walking in, although I arrived at the time when the restaurant opened, 11:30am.“

“Hands-down, the best Greek restaurant in Montgomery County! The owners are from Greece, so the food is authentic. Some interesting dishes. The vibe of the restaurant is next level, lots of Quality details. Service is always spectacular. One of my favorite restaurants in Onley. Great for date night or a family outing.“

“I recommend HOWEVER the last two orders we’ve placed through Uber Eats have been missing items. A little more attention to these orders at your Rockville/Norbeck location is needed. Your customers shouldn’t have to tell you to check off your lists. Thanks!“

“Authentic Greek food, amazing ambiance, and kind customer service? What more could you ask for? This restaurant serves amazing Greek food and you can tell they care about the food they serve and are very customer focused. I'm currently in town visiting but I know what restaurant is going to be my regular whenever I'm in town If you haven't visited, you need to, and get their famous gyro pita! You will NOT regret it“

“Don't even think about calling this a gyro place! The variety of Greek foods here is astounding. The quality, flavor and presentation is totally top shelf. The atmosphere is relaxed yet fresh. I could come here and work remotely, productively, all day. Please, please, please, try the Greek coffee! It is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Not acidic and the best compliment with the food. No bitterness and no irritation to the stomach. I would normally never have coffee and food together for this reason but this Greek coffee is the remedy for that. Gonzalo was kind enough to explain the process of making the coffee. Please talk to him. He takes great pride in the sacrifices he makes in order to guarantee the best quality and flavor. The desserts! OMG, the desserts! Have any of them or all of them. I've been raving to my friends and family about this place since I first tried their hummus and baklava during the pandemic. Don't pass this place by. It is totally worth stopping in and having a lovely sit down meal or getting it to-go. You will want to return again and again.Kid-friendliness: It is open with simple dining set up and lots of room on the bench seating.Wheelchair accessibility: The tables are well spaced and easy maneuver around.“

“What a friendly, comfy place to have breakfast! The cheese blintzes were wonderful, the coffee was rich but not too strong and frequently refilled, and the service was friendly, prompt, and efficient. Oh, did I mention the delicious cheese blintzes??? Great way to start the day!“

“My husband and I ordered takeout for Cava Mezze and it was pretty straightforward. Very standard Mediterranean food, nothing too over the top or subpar. Everything was pretty good, I got a classic gyro and was not disappointed! My husband got the chicken skewers which were also well seasoned and yummy. My only qualm is the price point. The small container of feta dip alone was $11, and it just didn't seem like enough for that price despite it being tasty! Overall good food, but you can go to CAVA or any other standard Mediterranean place and pay half the price for a pretty similar experience!“

“Mylo's is my go-to spot. Excellent food & I usually get one of the daily specials. The staff are very kind & attentive. I feel so comfortable there that I enjoy not rushing through my meal and spending time w/my dining companion.“

“Stellar performance and service our waitress was outstanding and the food/ drinks was excellent this was my husband and I first time in Washington DC This restaurant gave us star celebrity service the area we where escorted too was palace decor. ?? Thank you for sharing your business and time with us. 4/27 /2024 Ps wanted to thank our waitress for playing the Bar drink game ❤️“

“Don’t underestimate the greatness of this place based on its humble location and signage. Excellent food made with simple, authentic ingredients. It feels like you are eating your grandmother’s food in Greece. One of the tastiest meals I have had in the DMV. I particularly enjoyed the mezze, like grilled octopus, giant white beans (gigantes) and tzatziki. Must return soon to work my way through more the of the menu. Service was also super warm and friendly. Recommend!“

“I don't remember how I found this place online, but am so glad. You'll feel like you're on a treasure hunt and maybe in the wrong building, but go to the G (=LL) floor via the elevators and it's there. Simple decor and the owner is really friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent - I am vegan and he had no problem using tahini instead of tzaziki in my falafel sandwich, which was one of the best I've had! The prices were extremely reasonable and I am just sad it's so hidden away that people won't just run across it without knowing about it. The food was obviously prepared with care. Worth a visit - I plan on returning!“

“Iconic carry out with terrific Greek food. A downtown DC institution and deservedly so. Spanakopita and lamb are always delicious.One tiny downside: no time to ponder what you want to order — there can be long lines and the owners keep things moving. Take a look at the online menu beforehand.“

“I really like this place for a breakfast meal on the way to work. It's small and not much room inside when busy. Bench top seating along the front windows and maybe one or two outside tables during the nice seasons. Service has been amazing over the several months I've worked in the area.“

“Our favorite “basic” neighborhood Greek restaurant, even though it’s not in our neighborhood. Lots of street parking within walking distance. We split excellent homemade spanakopita and fried zucchini for appetizers. We shared the shrimp in tomato sauce and feta app and trout stuffed with spinach and feta as our mains. We shared a large piece of delicious homemade baklava for dessert. Wine prices are very reasonable. Service is very good. Highly recommend.“

“We stopped in here for a quick dinner while staying at a hotel nearby. The restaurant is small, but cozy and it was very easy to order. We had a spread sampler with tyrokafteri, taramosalata, and tzatziki and pita and it was very good! It's not often you can find taramosalata, so that was a nice bonus to find that. We also got a horiatiki with pork souvlaki and the salad and pork were delicious. The only downside was that the olives were sweet, which is something my wife and I have never seen before, especially not at a Greek restaurant. Olives aside, it's a good restaurant and one that we would visit again if in the area.“

“Yummy food and nice people. It's quite close to the zoo, and walking to it wasn't too bad even though we were tired after visiting the zoo. We tried chicken and veggie platters, both were flavourful and light. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We also brought their baklawa home and loved it.“

“Amazing food! The customer service is top notch. Not too bad price-wise compared to other options in the area. Super chill. It was 91 degrees when we visited but we sat outside anyway because of a slight breeze and the shade. It was actually very comfortable after we settled in and we had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!!“

“In town for a surgery and took a chance and boy was I blown away by the hospitality. I'm Italian and it reminded me of home, the owner was so welcoming and nice. Now let's get down to the food.. it was AMAZING Greek food everything tasted fresh and delicious. Rice pudding (a family recipe) was the icing on the cake great way to end an outstanding meal.Must try!“

“Hailing from Detroit, i know my way around Gyro's and Falafal's! This place has both... fantastic! Fresh, flavorfull and satisfying. I can't wait to go back! Cafe style and super clean. Stuffed grape leaves....yes please! If i could give more stars I would.“
