“Just went tonight and grabbed 2 chicken platters to go with my fiancé. The employees were wonderful. Beyond kind and personable. The food I don’t have words for. I didn’t take a photo due to being over excited but the portions are more than fair for what you pay. The hot sauce is VERY hot for me personally but I like it. The salata that comes with the entree is so fresh and tasty. The chicken is perfectly cooked - tender and seasoned deliciously. Even the rice is a masterpiece. We also highly recommend the pakora chips! They’re crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the outside, seasoned, and made fresh to order. We were even told by the staff that we were welcome to sit and make ourselves comfortable while we waited for the chips since they are made to order but our food was done so fast we barely had a chance to! We’re not done eating but we’ve already agreed this will be our Saturday night go to. For 2 people getting 2 platters and a side of pakora chips it was just $30. You’d spend more per person getting dinner from any other restaurant around.“

“Amazing food!!! Great customer service, great prices. Will definitely order from here again.“

“We were very hungry and wanted a quick bite. We searched and found Kabob. We are so glad we found this place. The food is reasonably priced and the food is delicious. We recommend Kabob to anyone who is found of great food. Kabob - keep up the great taste and great service.“

“recently i attended a wedding that was catered by Anatolian bistro. the food was wonderful! very traditional Turkish options. highly recommend for dining or catering. thank you - dj Theo“

“Me encanta cava!! Lidia es muy servicial y amable“

“We had an excellent meal at Village Grill over the weekend. If we lived closer, this would definitely be regular spot for us. We had the chicken shawarma wrap and gyro, along with some falafel. Everything tasted so fresh and authentic. We will definitely return when we are back in the area.“

“If you are ready for a great Greek experience please dine at the Mediterranean Breeze. The salads and vegetables are grown fresh according to the season. The olive oil is imported from Greece, the meat selections are tasty and generous. Treat yourself to great Greek food.“

“Tasty chicken kabob salad...planning to lose weight not taste of food....“

“Delicious food and super thoughtful staff
I ordered a mint and Turkish coffee to start with the intention of ordering lamb. When the sheep came, I was surprised in an interesting way by the presentation of the dish. The sheep is butter, soft, and cooked in the literal sense and looks exactly the same as it did in the menu, bones and all.“

“Great service, super fresh and tasty - I'm becoming addicted!“

“Awesome Place and Environment!! Great Staff, Service and Really Good Food 🔥 Highly Recommend 🥵💰“

“Excellent food. First time there. The two girls working were super nice and were very knowledgeable in what some of the items were and gave solid recommendations Thank you!“

“Great food, great service, very clean. I found my new favorite place in Reston.“

“The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in my life!! The portions are so big and everything is homemade!“

“Tasty Halal cuisine available at Leesburg Premium Outlets. Our order included samosa chat and Philly cheesesteaks. The samosa chat featured a well-balanced mix of spices, offering just the right amount of flavor without being overwhelming. It was perfectly textured, neither too soggy nor too dry. The Philly cheesesteak sandwiches were also delicious, boasting a cheesy goodness. You can find this eatery situated across from Old Navy, adjacent to Aeropostale. Highly recommended; I'll certainly be returning.“

“I had a great experience coming here, Vivian was super helpful and patient with me as I was picking my topping. Would go again!!“

“It is a great restaurant, high quality Greek food. They said my entrée, the lamb gyro, had double protein, but that was not true. It had way too much bread and fried potatoes. Quality of the squid, lamb, beans, and pasticitio was epic. Loved the salad too, but would have liked more Tzatziki. I had to ask for my water to be refilled a few times. Brining one of those bottles or carafes of water to the table that some restaurants do would be a better fit for the restaurant.“

“Good and Fresh!!! When you have goals! I am pleased with the fresh salad veggies shrimp and chicken. Great to be able to eat out and stay to my eating plan. 😋 I will be back!!“

“Meal was delicious and service was pleasant. They were nice enough to give our kids a complimentary drink. The littles enjoyed the beef kabob and rice. The included Chana (chickpeas) with naan was equally delicious. The ground chicken kabob was spicy and flavorful.“

“Very cool setup, interesting to experience. Awesome food, drinks, and staff!“

“Excellent food and wonderful customer service! Keep up the good work!“

“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.“

“Nick's Taverna is hands down one of my favorite spots in Ashburn! I popped in for dinner the other night and was seriously impressed with everything we tried. It has a laid-back vibe, perfect for a casual night out with friends or family, and the food is top-notch. If you're into Mediterranean flavors, this place is a must-visit.

We started with the Greek Salad, and it was super fresh and flavorful. The mix of crunchy romaine, juicy tomatoes, and kalamata olives was on point, but the feta cheese totally stole the show. Plus, the Greek dressing tied it all together perfectly. It was the kind of salad where every bite has something tasty going on. Definitely not your boring side salad.

Then came the falafel, and wow. These chickpea fritters were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—just the way falafel should be! The combo of the falafel with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and that tangy tahini sauce was so satisfying. It was light but still packed with flavor, and the torshi (pickled veggies) added a nice punch.

For the main course, I went with the Beef Shawarma, and it was just fantastic. The beef was super tender and char-grilled to perfection. With all the fresh veggies and that creamy tahini sauce, it hit all the right notes. I could seriously eat this every week. If you’re craving delicious Mediterranean food in a chill atmosphere, Nick’s Taverna is where it’s at!“

“Oh man, first time here and it will definitely not be my last. Great Mediterranean food... from different types of hummus, caramelized eggplant and baba ganoush. All either in a bowl, pita pocket or wrap. Great ambiance and decor. Very clean and good customer service. Price is moderate. Good for the whole family. I strongly recommend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We love this place! Great food! Great service! Wonderful hangout even during Covid!“

“Had the lamb wrap the portion is large and good.

Parking: The spots directly in front of the restaurant are always full because of the limited number and it's next to a Starbucks. It sits in front of a Harris teeter grocery store so you can park in the grocery lot and walk over“

“MobyDick offers an outstanding dining experience. The ambiance is cozy, the service is attentive, and the food is both delicious and beautifully presented. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“This is the second time I visited Massaya! Yes! It’s super far (for someone in DC)- but I’ve enjoyed every bit of being there! The dancers that go there, and the DJs in the weekends really add more fun to the vibe, and that is something not to miss. You may come around a quite empty scene (if you like silence and somewhere chill)— though you’d also have moments when it’s crowded, as I do wish there were more attendees. The restaurant has two sides! Keep in mind, the lounge side is where it’s lit, so don’t be fooled by the main floor! For those in Ashburn, who want nice good and a good music scene, that’s a place to go. The crowd there have very good vibes, and I always felt good there!“

“Food is awesome, wish i could give 7 star.. Authentic taste - so different than other equivalent eateries, the lamb is so tendered and cooked to perfection. Naan breads are very soft yet fluffy. Definitely must go place.
I felt that while the portion given worth the price, the portion is too much for a single person unless you are super hungry (like I was). Otherwise, the plate can be shared by two.
Another suggestion would be to make the plate and the price 2/3rd to make it attractive.
Avoid sitting next to the restroom, probably need some better ventilation.“
