The food is mediocre at best. The pasta with marinara was watery, they served the garlic bread on top of the pasta making it soggy. The chicken souvlaki had barely any sauce, tons of feta on top. And the shrimp Santorini was a decent portion size but very basic, not very flavorful. I also understand that the place has been around for a while but they really could use an updating. Even the silverware is missing silver and worn. The bathrooms are old and gross. Not fully understanding the glowing reviews.

Havabite eatery has the best chicken souvlaki and gyro sandwiches in Northern Va. We stopped in here not expecting much but were pleasantly surprised by how good the meals were. Most other places overcook the souvlaki meat leaving it dry but at Havabite the meat was tender and well seasoned and the bread was fresh and the tzatziki sauce was yummy and creamy. The only improvement would be on the baklava, which was on the dry side. We'll definitely be back for more.

Small little place but big tasting food! Stopped on a Saturday late afternoon, place was half full, service was on point. Gyros were amazing and fries were done perfect. Carbonara was delicious. Avgolemono soup was just ok, great lemon flavor but not very thick.

This cute old restaurant is a great stop in place. They have a good gyro sandwich or gyro salad as well as good sandwiches or Italian pastas.

We were exploring Old Town and were hungry. We came across this little place and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did. My girlfriend ordered a burger, which she loved. I got some mozzarella sticks and a pepperoni pizza. The food was fantastic and the staff was really nice. I can't wait to get back there and try more items.

When I am craving a Gyro fries and a beer, I always hit have a bite eatery. Delicious food a cozy atmosphere and friendly customer service makes it a unique spot in downtown Fairfax.
New to the area, so this place was recommended to take my wife for a special occasion. Nothing real fancy, but don't let that fool you. The food was delicious. The lemon chicken soup was suggested and didn't disappoint. My wife ordered the moussaka. She loved it. (Points for me)I had the gyro plate. Beef was tender. Everything was fresh. It seemed like a generous serving, yet I cleaned the plate.We proceeded to share rizogalo, also recommended. Served warm, not too sweet,hint of orange flavor, and great ending to our visit.Thank you for the warm hospitality! Coming from Italy, we enjoyed our meal like we did there. They never rushed to flip table.

Perfect for a cozy Taverna-style meal with family or a couple of friends. The Greek food is absolutely on point and presented in authentic Taverna-style-- simple, generous, full flavored. The staff is helpful and attentive. There are 9 or 10 booths and a couple of stools at the bar for indoor dining, but it was about 1/2 full or less at 6 on. Saturday. Looking for delicious Greek in the Vienna-Tysons-Fairfax-Springfield-Burke area? Get to downtown Fairfax and try Havabite Eatery.Parking: Park a block away at the FREE Fairfax city lot or park on the street out front.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu with nice portions for smaller appetites.
We were really looking forward to getting food from this place. It was recommended by a colleague who went to college in the area. It is a cute little place in town with a nice atmosphere. And truly looks like a mom and pop shop. We ended up getting a greek pizza and sausage calzone. The calzone was mostly bread at the edges and all the filling was centered in the middle. So it was hard to share between four people. The filling was also not very flavorful. The pizza toppings didn't even get close to the edge of the pizza, leaving a large crust, this wouldn't be bad if the crust wasn't bland, however, it was crispy. Also, someone in my party had a piece of plastic in their slice of pizza.Overall well-below average experience. The bright side was that the service was good, for what it's worth for takeout. The people were very friendly.We spent over $42 for a pizza and a calzone, way too costly for what we got. I am going to have a word with my colleague.I hate giving bad reviews for small shops, however I really needed to.

Very nice place. The inside is beautiful and has an iconic old school atmosphere. The food comes out quick and is good. I’ve been there twice and have no complaints about the service or had a bad experience with the food. Seems like more people take out than dine in. I see a lot of people order the pizza but haven’t ordered that yet. The Lasagna is ok but the pasta dish (forgot what is was called) is delicious.
