They do also have some kids items and a high chair. I loved the mezza platter and there was a lot of chicken with the Shawarma Greek Salad, which I wasn't expecting.

“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.“

“Thelo Greek Kuzina is one of those special places that treats you like family the moment you walk inside. There are no pretenses. You are there to enjoy the warmth of the atmosphere and amazing food that bursts with freshness. I do not know why it took us this long to try it for the first time, but so thankful we did! To quote our son "everything here was SO AMAZING. IT WAS THE BESTEST!"

Dietary restrictions: Great option for people seeking a peanut-free restaurant“

“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.“

“Beautiful views of Lake Anne. Awesome outdoor seating. Yummy spanakopita. .“

“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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“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!“

“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“

“Mezeh Mediterranean Grill is a go-to spot for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful, and customizable Mediterranean dishes. During my recent visit, I opted for their chicken shawarma bowl, and it was an absolute delight.

The chicken shawarma bowl at Mezeh is a feast for the senses. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender, juicy perfection. What makes Mezeh truly special is the unlimited toppings. The variety of fresh vegetables, pickles, and other toppings allowed me to create a bowl tailored to my taste. Each ingredient was fresh and vibrant, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the bowl.

The hummus at Mezeh is to die for. Creamy, rich, and full of flavor, it’s the perfect base or accompaniment to any meal. The caramelized eggplants were another highlight. They were tender, slightly sweet, and added a wonderful depth of flavor to the bowl.

The pita chips at Mezeh are a crunchy, delightful treat. They were perfectly crisp and paired wonderfully with the hummus and other dips. The yogurt sauce was tangy and refreshing, adding a nice balance to the rich and savory elements of the bowl.

To round off the meal, the baklava was an excellent choice for dessert. Sweet, flaky, and with just the right amount of nuttiness, it was the perfect ending to a delicious meal.

Overall, Mezeh Mediterranean Grill offers a fantastic dining experience with their chicken shawarma bowl and an array of fresh, flavorful toppings. The hummus, caramelized eggplants, pita chips, yogurt sauce, and baklava all contributed to a memorable and satisfying meal. If you’re looking for a place that combines quality, variety, and great taste, Mezeh is the perfect spot. Highly recommended!“

“We had been meaning to try the Kabobi by Helmand restaurant for a while, but not gotten around to it. Last weekend gave a perfect chance for a quick Takeaway.

We went for the traditional Kabuli pulao with lamb which was chock full of flavor. We also tried the Mantu dumplings which were in a flavorful and delicate sauce. My wife’s personal favorite was the chicken Lawand which had a very nice sauce we had not tried before. The spinach was OK, could have had a bit more flavor.

Take away order was easily placed. The environment inside was very nice and we will definitely come for a dining experience in the future.“

“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!“

“We frequent this restaurant as takeout for office meetings. It is a casual option for middle eastern food and the quality is consistent. My rating of "4" reflects relative to other similar restaurants.

While we enjoy kubideh kabob, chicken kabob and ground chicken kabob -- I find the chicken is always the most tender. The basmati rice is very tasty as well.

The pita bread is very fresh and tasty. The hummus is a good addition to the bread.

All in all a reliable and good choice for a casual middle eastern meal“

“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.“
