“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome salads“

“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.“

“I recently visited Kabob Station, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and perfect whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick meal.

The food is absolutely delicious. The kabobs are perfectly grilled—juicy, tender, and packed with authentic flavor. The rice is fluffy and well-seasoned, and the sides like salad and sauces complement everything beautifully. You can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite.

The staff were friendly, respectful, and efficient. They made sure our order was just right and provided great service without any delay. It’s clear they care about both their food and their customers.

What I appreciated most was the consistency and value. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get.

Overall, Kabob Station is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves flavorful, authentic kabobs and great service. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“Excellent service, terrific food!“

“Gyro Factory in Lorton is a solid spot for a quick, casual bite. The overall experience was good, though the space is pretty small with simple street-side café-style tables and chairs, so it’s more of a grab-and-go or short sit-down place.

The food is decent — nothing extraordinary, but exactly what you’d expect from a gyro place. The sandwiches are tasty, filling, and similar to other gyro spots in the area. Prices are reasonable, which makes it a good value for what you get.

Overall, it’s a good option if you’re craving gyros and want something quick, affordable, and satisfying. Still recommended!“

“Is the best Mexican food i ever tried. I used to eat from cava 3 or 2 time a week. I dont like to Cook sometimes so cava the first choice come to my mind and in the same time its healthy and they have multiple things to chose to eat. 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“

“Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.“

“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!“

“Alberto has demonstrated exceptional customer service skills, effectively communicating and delivering exceptional customer experiences. His culinary expertise consistently prioritizes the use of fresh ingredients, resulting in consistently high-quality dishes.“

“Reasonably priced drinks and karaoke was fun!“

“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!!!!!

“I absolutely loved the food at CAVA. The variety of protein options is impressive, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The grilled chicken was one of the best I’ve had—juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

Adding feta cheese, cucumber, and Kalamata olives created an outstanding combination of flavors. Everything was well balanced and delicious.

On top of that, Edwin, the team member who assisted me at the register, was extremely kind, professional, and genuinely great. Excellent customer service, and thank you for the recommendation of the pita chips—they were a perfect addition to the meal.

I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Excellent food. My whole family loved it. Will return again.“

“I’ve been getting kofta, kebab, makdoos, kibbeh, and other items from Beirut Butcher for 10 years. It’s still my favorite place to get authentic, handmade food in the DMV area.
The staff are always kind and helpful.
Highly recommended! 😊“

“I am mad I did not try this earlier. I will be back. I got the Greek feast.
Pork and chicken skewers moist and tender. Gyro was amazing. The fries, I love what you did with the crunch on the outside. Rice is salted nicely. Small grain though... I mean that is nitpicking. I will be back 100%
It took like 20 minutes to prepare, so call in if you are in a rush. The taste and quality is worth it.“

“Cafe Monaco is absolutely the best kept secret in the McLean/Tysons Corner area.

I bought three (yes, three - don't judge me) ham/cheese/egg croissants and these might have very well been the best croissants I've ever had in the States. Crisp, wonderfully flaky, and perfectly buttered; these have become my go-to breakfast sandwich.

Honestly, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't pay a visit to Cafe Monaco.“

“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.“

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

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

“Yafa Grille location in Lorton, VA is out of this world! We ordered the chicken shawarma, steak shawarma, and a chicken bowl — and every bite was absolutely incredible. The chicken was juicy, the steak was tender, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The chicken bowl was overflowing with fresh, vibrant toppings — crisp arugula, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, briny olives, and sumac-seasoned onions. Everything was unbelievably fresh. Their garlic cream (toum) was next level — light, fluffy, and made fresh with healthy ingredients. The hummus was velvety smooth and full of flavor. You can truly taste the quality and care they put into every dish. This was hands down one of the best Mediterranean meals we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back!“

“excellent fooood. just tried it. very gooooooooooood!!!“

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

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

“We had dinner here and the food was excellent“

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

“I’ve been coming to this location pretty much every weekend for the last 3 years and realized I’ve never actually left a review! They have another location that is bigger than this one, but honestly, this one is the better spot for food, service, and the overall vibe. I actually live closer to the Falls Church location but still make the drive here because the staff are always super friendly and the experience is consistently good. On Fridays and Saturday, it can get a little busy a hectic but the wait usually isn’t too bad, maybe around like 10–15 minutes. My order has always come out right and the food tastes fresh and delicious every time I’ve been here.

The place itself is clean, condiments are always stocked, and there’s a really nice mural on the wall that gives it a cozy feel. Nice music playing most of the time I come and seating is a little tight but it’s comfortable. Every time I come in,I’m greeted right away and the staff have been the same since I first started coming so they know what they’re doing. If there ever is an issue, they’re quick to fix it. If you have any allergies or food restrictions, they are pretty accommodating to requests so that is something to consider.
Overall, this has been one of my go-to spots for Greek food for years! Consistently good food, good prices, and really great service.“

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

“The food is outstanding! All made fresh and so delicious. Family owned and very friendly. The calamari was perfectly cooked and had a beautiful dusting as opposed to a heavily breaded crust. The grilled octopus was tender and flavorful. We’ve sat both outside in the relaxing courtyard and inside the casual restaurant. This restaurant beats the food at Old Town’s Greek restaurants. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Absolutely my FAVORITE MEZEH of them all! The best service in the world and probably the most atmospheric one as well! I have been coming to Mezeh for years! But the hospitality, ambience and feels is COMPLETELY different! The food taste so amazing, that I had to drive from alexandria to this location! BUT I DONT CARE!! I LOVE IT!! I truly from the bottom of my heart say, thank you to the entire staff! Thank you Pablo for the love! And CORPORATE LISTEN UP! GIVE EVERYONE A RAISE ASAP. THEY DESERVE IT FOR MAKING THIS CHAIN SUCCESSFUL AS IT IS. IM SERIOUS OR I WILL TELL OTHERS TO GO TO CAVA INSTEAD. DONT PLAY WITH ME. If you are EVER in the mood for something delicious and fresh, you now know where to come!“

“excellent food excellent review excellent service excellent atmosphere 100% coming back here again food was extremely lovely and that salad was bomb with That white sauce everything in the world can be better. You got out of a break up just get that white sauce all over your mouth dreams will become“

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

“Awesome food and open late at night“

“es el mejor restaurante en el área de Mclean, con la auténtica cocina de Turkia, deliciosa en todo su sentido.“

“Great food, very fresh and nice staff.“

“Excellent food and 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“

“It was such as a wonderful experience; I loved it so much everyone was so kind and welcoming, the food was great, tasty and Full of flavor. The service was 5/5 and very friendly. I'm definitely going there again with my friends!“

“Superb food. Superb service. A really fun source for delicious Middle Eastern takeout. The only reason I'm giving them a 3 for atmosphere is because it's a food truck. These dishes could be served in a fancy sit-down restaurant for three or four times the price.“

“Ordered catering for 70 people and everything turned out amazing. Food was packed amazingly and ready on time. Comes in foil trays and was easy to put on heaters when I got home. Plenty of food was provided, very generously portioned. Everyone loved the food! Would recommend for future events.“

“I love their chicken shawarma wraps. It's big and a normal price. My mom loves all their sandwiches/wraps and their chickpea salad. Their pastries are good too. I often get their Belgian chocolate brownie. We will continue to get food from here.
This is a takeout place. There is no space to eat in store.“
