“Favorite Greek / Mediterranean restaurant in DC area. So many healthy, tasty options. Could eat their Greek salad everyday— the dressing is so good they serve it with a spoon. Salivating as I write this. The restaurant is great for lunch as well, not just for dinner! Top notch wait staff too, always friendly and hospitable.“

“Dinner at Thelo is an experience of terrific food and a warm welcome from the owner and host Yannis. We got the spreads sampler and shared among four of us and it was delicious. The whipped beats were our favorite, so good we made an extra order to go and will have it over the weekend.
After the appetizer we were all happy with our orders. The lamb shank was the very best, and the salmon, moussaka, and lamb gyro also very nice. A terrific baclava topped off the experience. Strongly recommend you go, enjoy the experience, don’t rush yourself and have a nice time.“

“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.“

“We have only done takeout a few times but the food is amazing. Tonight we did the lamb chops for the first time and we highly recommend.
We plan on dining in person and trying more stuff. If you like Gyros with lamb you cant go wrong. Lots of food and as good the second day.
Solid, fresh and very tasty. For the price it's a staple in our household for sure.“

“It's Amphoras! It's an institution! Great breakfast featuring a waiter in a tux! He was all business and got us taken care of very well! Biscuits and gravy were amazing and my wife had a delicious looking omelette that she wouldn't share, so great food. Not highway robbery. This is the diner experience Im looking for!
Kid-friendliness: This is a great place with many kid options and a low key vibe.“
“Delicious food and ample drink selection!! Awesome local spot! Look forward to many return trips!“

“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!“

“Popped in for lunch after reading the great reviews and was so glad we did. Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Don’t let the location (small strip mall with tight parking) dissuade you! Definitely worth going out of your way. We’ll be back for sure!“

“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.“

“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“

“Their pizzas are incredible, and the Greek and Italian dishes never disappoint. Even the salads, starters, and hotdogs are solid. The restaurant manager Fadi and Henry are super friendly. I have been coming here at least once a week, and I love it. Definitely one of the best spots in the area :)“

“I e been coming to this restaurant ever since I was a teenager. They used to be located on the other sode of Falls Church more in the central part of that area, and me and my gorfriend used to go there for dinners. I would also order carry-out gyro platters on a regular basis. Ever since those days, gyros and spaghetti have been my go-to orders from this restaurant. This is a real authentic Greek restaurant and they never cut corners when it comes to the quality of the food. The gyro meat isn't processed meat either, and they always add an ample amount of fetta cheese and gyro sauce.“

“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've been coming to this location since 2001 (it was called Atilla's back then) and the sandwiches & salads are always good. Stopped in today and had an old favorite a gyro with some black olives - it was great as usual. Fast & friendly service as well. You can place your order online and come in and pick it up or just walk in and order.“

“My wife and I use this as our go-to place when we need quality food that is not junk and is a great value. The orzo is my personal favorite but honestly there hasn't been one dish I've tried that has been disappointing. I am genuinely confused by the people who give this place one or two stars. My wife loves the pork chops. They held up really well even after being delivered. I had the gyro and it was amazing. This place is consistent and if you're looking for a hidden gem in a sea of awful takeout, this is it.“
