“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!“

“Awesome salads“

“Exceptional Service. Culinary Excellence. Our dining experience at JOON was extraordinary, made even better by the exceptional service from our server, Yacine. His thoughtful recommendations, warm demeanor, and perfectly timed attentiveness made for an unforgettable evening. Even as the restaurant got busier, Yacine maintained his focus on us— a warm and welcoming touch that elevated the entire experience. Thank you! As fans of Persian cuisine and frequent shoppers at Yekta Market in Rockville— having recently tried our hand at making Persian dishes like Fesenjan at home— coupled with all of the culinary accolades— we had high expectations for JOON. It not only met but exceeded them. Mast-o Musir, yogurt dish with Persian dried shallot and rose petal, was exceptional— more elevated and nuanced than any we’ve had. The mushroom Khoresht stew with white truffle was another highlight, offering perfectly balanced flavors something hard to do with white truffles and a satisfying richness, complemented by the perfectly crunchy Tahdig, iconic golden rice crust. The braised lamb shoulder which Yacine suggested was the undeniable highlight of the meal I which each dish was excellent. Tender and flavorful, it was paired beautifully with texture. It’s a signature dish that rivals the best we’ve ever had, bringing to mind the legendary Bo Ssam pork shoulder from David Chang’s Momofuku— bold, unforgettable, and expertly prepared. The Gormeh Sabzi, short rib stew with its delicious sour depth, was excellent but couldn’t quite match the lamb’s showstopping brilliance. Two very minor points. While the food and service are exceptional, the main dining room lighting would benefit from dimming. A water filtration water system could make a big difference as well. JOON has firmly secured its place as a must-visit dining destination for us. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu.“

“After a hard day of work, I went to treat myself to eating Cava - Lee Hwy, I like it because the food is fresh and delicious. When I arrived, I was delighted to see the smiling and friendly staff, but I especially want to thank Diosesis for always giving all customers such a pleasant, smiling and very respectful welcome. Thank you very much for the excellent work you do.“

“The gentleman at the counter had wonderful customer service. We paid for our food even brought it to the table, which was very nice. It felt like fine dining, he gave us a bit of conversation and seem like such a pleasant gentlemen. I enjoyed the food. It was amazing. I eat every drop and the baklava ice cream with everything took a friend for the first time. My friend said he enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back again. I recommend this place highly if you love Greek food and gyros.“

“Absolutely delicious - the best falafels I’ve had in a long time and my family said the lamb/beef combo was very flavorful. The ingredients were fresh and the service was very attentive. And I’m still dreaming of the chocolate peanut butter cupcake I had - so good!“

“Delicious food and friendly service“

“Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.“

“Looks can be deceiving, ordered a gyro since my wife had said she liked it and I was surprise how much meat was on this wrap and I ended not being able to finish it.

Will go back to try the fries since my son finished his before I could dad tax his food.“

“Is the best Mexican food i ever tried. I used to eat from cava 3 or 2 time a week.

I recommend the place if u didnt tried it u have something wrong in ur life :D�� one more thing after u put all your toping end it with Lemon tahini dressing yummy yummy no regretting“

“I come here every time I get a chance, the staff is so welcoming and will do everything they can to treat you like family. The food is always perfect and the steak and chicken with the home made tzatziki is the best! I could go on and on about how much I love this place. Every time I go I leave happier and I look forward to seeing the friendly faces:) They also have the BEST gluten free pita!!!!!

“Walked in and was greeted immediately by the friendly young man behind the counter. Seating area was clean. Food and service both amazing! We got the chicken shawarma lunch special and it was delicious. Will definitely be returning soon!“

“I have gone twice and both times have been amazing. There is a good variety of flavorful food to choose from. I love the chicken kabobs. They are so good and juicy. But my favorite is the rice. I'm not familiar with all the names but every type I've tried has been good. On top of the great food is the friendly and welcoming staff. This is some of the best kabob I've had in the area. And to have a buffet lunch is a dream come true.“

The staff is always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the entire experience a joy. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommended!“

“Love this place!! Food is always delicious and fresh .“

“Cava is a great alternative to fast food when you need food on the run. It’s also a great place for picky eaters to get their food exactly how they want it and gradually expand their food choices. My daughter started with white rice and meat. Next visit added romaine lettuce. Next visit chopped tomatoes. Next visit added greek dressing on the side, etc, etc.

Dietary restrictions: You can make your meal gluten and dairy free. They can direct you on the ingredients.“

“We all were impressed. We reserved a group of 13 ladies to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We were very happy with the service and the food was amazing. The atmosphere was great as well. We will definitely come back.“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“The interaction with the lady at the counter is often a cause of worry. It could be me, but her anxiety and stress levels are thru the roof all the time. It just makes me feel guilty for coming and giving them business. Honestly, this cant be good for her health.The food is scrumptious. Authentic Lebanese food to a South Asian pallette. Wont disappoint.Would go there again ... And be as gentle as possible. Yikes!“

“Absolutely my favorite lunch spot in Fairfax. I’ve been eating here for 5 years now and the place is like home.. friendly and loving staff with the Absolute most delicious kabobs (IMO).. The only downside here is I live in faqr co.“

“Delicious food! We will be back!“

“I spoke with a man named Taha to order a variety of Persian kebab, etc. for a Surprise Birthday Party and was very satisfied, as well as the 30 guests who attended and (most being Persian) on the quality of the food. The kebabs were tender, the rice was good quality and the extra sides very plentiful. I would highly recommend this for a large gathering because the price was very reasonable and service very customer friendly, especially ordering from Taha. Kudo's to him and all his help in making this special birthday even more special and worry free for me.“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Just left, great experience, the food was great! I will be back!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“One of the best meals I have had in Tyson’s Corner! Way above average!“

“I’ve been to a couple of Afghan Kabob restaurants but this one was truly really great and tasty. The food was delicious and the customer service was the best. I highly recommend trying out Fairfax Kabob!“

“Flavorful Egyptian cuisine served in a clean, welcoming environment with prompt service. A consistent favorite for our staff.“

“We love Box'd Kitchen! This place has quickly become one of our favorite local restaurants! Food is delicious and the portions are super generous! Great price. All nutrition info is posted on their website and their meat is halal.“

“This place is ONE of the best in the Woodbridge area.

The menu offers a range of dishes that showcase Middle Eastern and South Asian flavors. The lamb was a standout—juicy and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes are generous, making it great value for the price.

The staff at Shah's Halal is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They’re happy to make recommendations and ensure that your experience is pleasant.“

“Halal Kingz is literally the ONLY place I will buy falafel from in Woodbridge. I always have an amazing experience with the staff and Umer is so pleasant, helpful, and accommodating! As soon as I came in, he greeted me and was more than willing to offer pleasant customer service! It goes a long way when you have people who genuinely care about the impression they leave. Umer was certainly that. Much love to the Halal Kingz!“

“Delicious and Eleni is the sweetest!! She took fabulous care of our party of 8 today. My husband who loves Greek food was in heaven.“

“soujouk is one of the best sandwiches i ever ate at this restaurant highly recomanded“

“Might actually be better than Cava. The chicken chicken which was recommended to me by the server was better than I had thought. Super filling!

Just a heads up if you chose a signature plate they will make it without any additional inquiries. I thought I was being ignored after suggesting it but she was speeding along and I was an idiot assuming the worst.

Utensils are near the entrance doors along with napkins, grabs one since they aren't placed in the bag for to gos, or at least not for mine.“

“I would have liked to take a picture of the food but I ate it all 😅 staff are quiet ,friendly and very respectful. The food comes out decently fast and seeing the fresh pita spitting steam like a choo choo train was fun. All in all i think this place is a hidden gym and definitely deserves some love“

“I was a bit unsure of what to order, but they graciously offered a sample. The food was delicious, even better than the restaurant next door, which was called California something. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and they even let me customize my gyro. All of his recommendations were spot on! It’s a great place if you’re looking for a quick, easy, and affordable meal.“

“Best all you can eat during Ramadan! Authentic Syrian and Lebanese food for the serious foodie! Best kibbe! Well worth my taste buds!“

“We love Mezeh restaurants, so when visiting Tysons for the day we stopped into this one. It’s actually connected to the mall via Bloomingdale’s.

Service was great, helpful, and friendly. The selection was excellent and all items were fresh and appealing looking. Their chicken kabob was really nicely done and tender! That shuug sauce was spicy, but flavorful!

Highly recommend stopping in for good, healthy options!“

“I love the food at Mezeh and have always done so but they have recently been making decisions that have left me baffled and the staff seem to be trained inconsistently. What leaves me baffled: 1) No spinach! What? We were just told last week that our local Mezeh has “taken spinach off the menu.” What a weird decision when spinach is probably everyone’s go to salad base. Baffled and inconsistent training: No same staff member keeps it consistent on the meat/protein portion. I feel like over the last year it has become less and less. We even have to ask them now several times to give us more meat and not charge us. When you give us a lazy half spoon that is not cool. Why do you skimp on the portion?! Again the food always tastes great but the service leaves something to be desired.“

“We check reviews in the area and they had some good reviews so we drove from 234 to give them a try well worth it !!! My 21 yr old som said best naan and green sauce he has ever had!!! Whole family was very impressed we will definitely be visiting again!!“

“Excellent food and service!!!“

“Great food!! very friendly!!!“

“Pan AM Family Restaurant gets all stars from me. Their meals, especially their Gyro platters and sandwiches are the best across the State. I have eaten there many times with my family and friends, and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the delicious food, fantastic atmosphere and especially the detail to service and smiles. It’s worth every dollar and you will leave happy, full and wanting to come back. Great job !! Great Food !! Great Service !!“

“Hidden gem of a shop, literally as you have to navigate through an office building to get there. The presumably owner was wonderful and very helpful, he also emphasized his use of extra virgin olive oil for health. I don’t think the Chicken Msakhen I got was on the online menu, but so so tasty.

More of a takeout shop than a date night vibe, but it does have free WiFi! Please consider giving them your business, it’s so worth it“

“Great place to relax and nice Hookah“

“Stopped on our way to Jersey, and glad we did! Absolutely delicious! We got the platter to start and every dip you could tell was homemade. We also got the bowls with chicken and gyro meat and it was delicious. The rice was perfectly seasoned and the tzatziki was amazing as well.“

“The food was delicious and the Resturant is really clean I came from ashburn to try it and it was amazing love it 😍“
