Really good food!! Fresh ingredients, prepared perfectly. Sat outside with my husband and puppy and they brought my pup some water without me even asking, so that was really nice, too!

I’ve been coming to Yaylabistro for over 10 years, and it truly feels like home to me. The food is always fresh, authentic, and hands down the best Turkish cuisine in the area. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff make every visit special. Whether it’s a casual meal or bringing friends and family, Yaylabistro never disappoints. A true gem! 🙏🙏

We had a very nice meal there (as usual). We met friends from Maryland there (ftheir first time here) and they've joyed it. Sundays are always a good day ti go there because street parking is free. I wish the menu offered the option of adding falafel to the salads. The waiter mentioned that after I had ordered and I was to too slow to change to take advantage of that. But there's always next time! We will be back!
The food was excellent and healthy! The service was also great. This restaurant is a best kept secret! We will return often!
My second time ordering takeout here and it won’t be my last. The kofta smelled incredible and was absolutely delicious. I paired it with the bulgur pilaf, which was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for Turkish food!

Yayla Bistro has been one of our favorite spots for almost a decade, and we’re so lucky it’s close to our house. The food is always amazingly fresh, consistently delicious, and you can really taste the care that goes into every dish. The staff has been welcoming and friendly since day one—they truly make you feel at home every time you walk in. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food with such warm hospitality, but Yayla Bistro does it effortlessly. Highly recommend!

This Mediterranean restaurant isn’t just the best in the region—it’s easily one of the finest in the country. From the moment you walk in, it feels like home. We ordered the mixed kebab platters, and every bite was exceptional—rich in flavor and deeply authentic.
The staff were genuinely lovely and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that elevated the entire experience. The beet salad was incredibly fresh and clearly made with organic ingredients. The hot soups warmed the soul, and the desserts were simply divine.
Words fall short of capturing how special this place is. With its outstanding menu and thoughtful service, it’s an absolute must-try.

Amazing restaurant! The food is so tasty, the staff are super friendly, and they really care about the little details. With its warm hospitality, Yayla Bistro is definitely my favorite Turkish spot in the area. I tried the apricot dessert for the first time — so unique and delicious! Totally worth it ☺️💜

Food was OK, but could be better. I am from Arizona so i had much better experience at other Mediterranean restaurants. However, as a local restaurant this is a must go place

Amir is an excellent server and made my friend’s birthday dinner amazing. He was very attentive, timed everything perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for better service!! He was amazing. The food was spectacular as well, as was the ambiance. My favorite was the rice pudding dessert! Had a great conversation with the owner Zaza as well. I love supporting a small business like this.
