“Very flavorful food! I order from them at least once or twice a month. Their restaurants are much cleaner than some other Kabob places. Only negative thing about Moby Dick House of Kabob is they don't have chickpeas and spinach like most kabob restaurants do, which is strange because they are all famous side dishes. For that reason, I frequent other kabob restaurants because my kids like those aforementioned side dishes.“
“I had a fried whole fish here. It was amazing. Friendly and attentive staff. The owner came out and checked on us multiple times. They also have a very healthy vegan platter along with spaghetti options, well flavored and fulfilling. Ambience was also great. Sporty bar vibe with beautiful Ethiopian traditional coffee setup. I’ll definitely go back.“
“Ever since they opened this has been our favorite place for kabobs in the Annandale area. The nan is delicious, the chickpeas are our favorite side, and the meat is always cooked fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong and the staff is friendly as well.“
“This is a gem of a spot in Cleveland Park! I discovered it one day and now I’m a regular and have started bringing my friends. Who all have said they wanna come back. The restaurant is small, but intimate and the food is amazing. The Scallops are a must try. Every time I’ve gone and sat at the bar and have always had an amazing experience. Kyle & Victor are so knowledgeable on their wines and just make the experience 10x better. The playful pairings on the menu are also another highlight and a lot of fun. Definitely a spot worth checking out!“
“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!“
“Recently, I had a wonderful lunch with my friend to celebrate our birthdays. Service and food were top-notch. Our server surprised us with a complimentary dessert (and no reminder was needed...the restaurant read the notes on the reservation). The booths are so cozy and comfortable with a unique design. I also took takeout home to my family, who loved it.Parking: Lots of free complimentary guest parking spots in attached building on the ground floor.Wheelchair accessibility: I noticed an easy smooth entrance from parking lot into the restaurant... no steps.“
“Absolutely 5-?place. Why? (1) They are genuinely hospitable and you will feel their positive vibes as soon as they start greeting you. (2) The place is very clean, well-maintained, and organized, with good distance between tables. I like their booths better?. (3) They serve authentic and VERY delicious Afghan dishes. Kabobs are soft and juicy. Shrimps are crazy delicious and soft (never chewy). Ghabeli-polow is the best! (4) Their quality of service and dishes are consistently great. (5) Their price is competitively low for such large portions.Highly recommended!“
“The food was sooo fresh and delicious, down to the fresh made lemonade and mango juices we got. Such a home cooked meal feel, with tender halal meat, fresh baked naan, and crispy kibbeh. Service was amazing and the owner treated us like family. I can't wait to go back and try their kenafa and more dishes!“
“I went to this amazing Greek restaurant, and the food was fantastic! The service was great too. They have delicious gyro, awesome steak, and tasty fries. It's a must-try place for a fantastic Greek meal! Everything was enjoyable and top of everything in the area.“
“I went for iftar upon my friend's recommendation. Pleasant smells greet you as you enter. The salad bar is very fresh and very tasty. All the meats we tried were very delicious. The staff are great with their date treats, smiling faces and helpful attitude in every way. Especially the tea that came with it crowned the whole meal. You should definitely experience traditional Turkish flavors and desserts. We thank Mr. Akif and his team.“
“Who would have expected fine dining meals from a small open kitchen (think pizza or sandwich shop style restaurant) with a few tables in a small strip shopping center in Great Falls, Virginia, but Thelo Greek Kuzina’s food was stellar. I could not decide what to get to take home for our family, so got way too much food for four people. Every meal, appetizer, and desert was delicious. we had the lamb shank meal, the New York Sirloin entree, Moussaka, Imam Baildi, lamb gyros, Greek salad, homemade potato chips (best ever), pita and hummus sampler, and more. Deserts were the lemon cake, apricot baklava, sour cherry baklava. Yeah we overdid it on our order, but we enjoyed a smorgasbord of delicious Greek food that made you think it was from a top 10 upscale downtown restaurant. Thank you Thelo Greek Kuzina for an unexpected true culinary experience.“
“Consistently delicious and authentic. I love the fact that the owner is always present and directing the wait staff. It shows in the degree of service that we get. The prices are really reasonable. We always get the 3 appetizer sampler - Greek yogurt, eggplant and fish roe mousse - and then the debate about lamb versus fish. The restaurant is reasonable quiet and always clean.“
“We had a party with 30 people with many dietary needs (allergies, celiac, vegetarian) and The Kirby Club was amazing! We had such good food and drink and a great atmosphere. The service was above and beyond. Tariq was great to work with! We would totally use them again for a get together. When you go you must try the vegan date ice cream - it was excellent!“
“The food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent and the owner came around to talk to us! He was so sweet!! He made us feel like family! I will definitely recommend this lovely establishment to my family and friends! I should have taken more photos, but I forgot- it was as sooo goo!!“
“Delicious Turkish/Middle East cuisine. My salmon salad was delicious. Service is excellent & prices are more than fair. We went on a Monday night & it was half/price wine (bottle) night ! Yay, we had a wonderful Turkish dry white wine.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment and I must say, the manti here is absolutely delightful! The flavors were rich and authentic, and the texture of the dumplings was perfect. The portion size was generous, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend trying the manti here for a truly satisfying culinary experience. Can't wait to come back for more!“
“The food was really good - couldn’t be faulted! Service was excellent too.My only gripe was the amount of single use plastic items in the cafe. Everything from the plate to the cup to the cutlery was disposable. We need to do better by our planet.“
“Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. The owner greeted us and chatted with us a for a while. Most tables were reserved for an event that afternoon, but when we told her we could be out before then, she seated us and brought out the menus. We ordered using the QR code on the menus, as that was the only option. I will say, that was the only thing I didn't like. I have having to use my phone for everything and wished I could've ordered in person and paid in person. And then the tip part was unclear and it chose the tip for us (18%). That felt kinda weird...what if I wanted to leave more? But that feels like the same complaint, having to order on my phone.Anyway, besides those 2 things, everything else was amazing. The food was fresh, tasty, and was brought out in a reasonable amount of time. The waiter was quick to bring out water and refills. Dina was sweet and chatted with us just the right amount. We ordered the 3 plate appetizer baba ghanoush, grape leaves, and fava beans. They were all good, but the fava beans were extraordinary. We also got the Susu's chicken plate. It was also delicious...and the best part of that plate was the amazing tomato sauce.I can't recommend this place enough and we will surely be back!“
“family owned Greek restaurant with big portions and decent pricing. Food comes out very quick, great for a lunch spot. slower lunch crowd during the week, was able to get a table immediately. Olivia was our server and she took great care of us. will be coming back with friends.“
“Hasib was amazing! He truly explained everything on the menu with such passion and was incredibly informative. He really made our experience and we will certainly be back. Hasib, thank you for pushing us to try different courses and drinks, and sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!Dietary restrictions: Completely accommodates any allergies and even asks at the beginning of the meal.“
“Solid Vienna takeout. Supports local causes. Wish they were open a little later. Staff is always very friendly and dine in customer are well taken care of. Menu is huge and never had anything I wouldn't order again. Rotisserie chicken is the best in Vienna. Always hot and juicy.“
“Opened the shop 10 minutes after closing to make me a chicken shawarma to go on New Year’s Eve. Staff are always kind. Food is quick, generously-portioned, affordable, and delicious. I like having the option to eat outside when the weather is nice. A Cleveland Park gem for sure!“
“HOLY ****! Hands down some of the best food I've ever eaten.. I've never had dolmas or baba ganoush with that level of flavor. Anyone would enjoy the veggie sample platter. The spices used were not spicy, but packed full of flavor. I'd eat here everyday if I could. If you don't go here, you're truly missing out. Also LOVE the atmosphere, both inside and out. <3Vegetarian options: The falafel was some of the best I've had. Warm dark green center, with a crispy outside. The dolmas were incredible as well as the fatoufah salad.Kid-friendliness: Spacious seatingWheelchair accessibility: Easy ramps in and out of the building with spacious seating to accommodate any wheelchairs.“
“The food here is awesome and plentiful. After a couple of appetizers we got our main courses. Were stuffed from octopus, meatballs and tzatziki. I highly recommend this amazing Greek restaurant. I’ve been to Greece several times and this is as authentic as it gets.“
“Just tried this restaurant for the first time. I only had a chicken Fettouch salad, and it was possibly one of the best I have had. The vegetables were very fresh and the dressing was possibly the best I have had. It had a very subtle taste of what seemed to be pomegranate in it. The chicken pieces were very nicely flavored as well. The price was in line with most fast casual Middle Eastern eateries. Will be coming back to try the rest of their menu. The service was very nice as well.“
“Shawarma House catered our daughter's wedding reception and everyone raved about the food and thought we were geniuses for catering with a food truck! It was seamless working with Ghassan from start to finish and I am so thankful for him! Communication was easy as he was always very responsive. He made providing a delicious, hot dinner to 150 guests a breeze. He had the food all prepared and with the help of his brother-in-law he served it up quickly on demand. He exceeded expectations in both service and the quality of food. Besides being an excellent cook he is honest and kind. I highly recommend Shawarma House to anyone looking for catering.“
“How did I forget to review Plaka?? Plaka is consistently amazing. Fast, delicious and friendly service every single time. I love introducing people to Plaka. The food is always fresh and tasty. Some of my favorite things are the Plaka Gyro Wrap which has Authentic Greek-style pork gyro with tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and fries inside. It's filling but you won't be in a food coma afterwards. I also love getting the plaka bowls where you can choose what you want in them. Kind of like Cava but way better.“
“I don't remember how I found this place online, but am so glad. You'll feel like you're on a treasure hunt and maybe in the wrong building, but go to the G (=LL) floor via the elevators and it's there. Simple decor and the owner is really friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent - I am vegan and he had no problem using tahini instead of tzaziki in my falafel sandwich, which was one of the best I've had! The prices were extremely reasonable and I am just sad it's so hidden away that people won't just run across it without knowing about it. The food was obviously prepared with care. Worth a visit - I plan on returning!“
“Amani, the most gracious hostess greeted with the most enormous smile one can get just before mind blowing ambiance experience at this magical place. The owner of this place is going to get so much business just because of her amazingly genuine welcome to Villa Yaara by the hostess Amani. I’m sure the food and the service will be at par as well so that we could rate it five star as well.Parking: Metered Parking.“
“Honestly, this is some of the best Persian food I've had in an upscale restaurant. I've had a ton in LA and Dubai.Each dish is thoughtful and incredibly well seasoned. They are true to traditional preparations, with an elegant flare in presentation.The one big minus was the service. The gentleman was kind and knowledgeable, but they forgot an appetizer, and food came out rather slowly. It wasn't too busy either. This rating could easily been a 5 star, with better service.“
“Food was good and freshSpace was kind of tight between tables especially with people standing in line for buffet.I was expecting some Ramadan decorationI would definitely go back but not for Iftar .I would recommend if you want to try the taste of Moroccan cuisine“
“I’ve been eating here since before they renovated the place, which is a while. The old spot was smaller and cozy, and the new one is much bigger, with very clean bathrooms, and nice decor. Everything in their menu is great and they are nice with substitutes. My go-to is the falafel hummus veggie pita, no provolone, jalapeño kettle chips, two oatmeal raisin cookies and a blue Powerade. The staff is super friendly in-person and on the phone. Thank you Perfect Pita!“
“We made a meal of appetizers and every dish was delicious! The garlic hummus was amazing, and I loved the lebneh too. We brought selections back for our teens and they also loved them. The baklava was made fresh that day and was exquisite. If I am not mistaken, the pastry was house made too!“
“Dropping into Mediterranean Bakery Inc. is like finding a hidden gem where every bite is a burst of home-cooked goodness. The aroma of fresh bread, spices, and sweets is truly inviting. I'm always greeted with smiles and friendly chatter, making each visit more personal. The baklava? It's a flaky, nutty slice of heaven. And the olives are just like the ones from a bustling market in Athens. It's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Mediterranean flavors—definitely a local favorite that keeps me coming back!“
“Amazing food and service. We were a large group of 14 people including couple of kids. They greeted us with smiles and quickly put together couple of tables for our group. Food and drinks came quickly, everything was fresh and delicious. Our server was very kind. We had a delightful experience.“
“The interaction with the lady at the counter is often a cause of worry. It could be me, but her anxiety and stress levels are thru the roof all the time. It just makes me feel guilty for coming and giving them business. Honestly, this cant be good for her health.The food is scrumptious. Authentic Lebanese food to a South Asian pallette. Wont disappoint.Would go there again ... And be as gentle as possible. Yikes!“
“Nov 16, 2023Today in the midst of the lunch hour rush Carlos helped us with a complicated order and was very attentive as was his wonderful staff.If you’ve not tried Cava yet, run and do not walk to this Vienna location on Maple Ave!Parking: In mid- November, they still have some outdoor seating!“
“Delicious food, beautiful presentation, affordable prices. Also get free baked goods and some sauces. First time eating Middle Eastern rice, the rice grains are longer, slimmer and lighter than Asian rice grains, quite delicious and refreshing. Friendly employee. Good space, good music.“
“First time here. The food was really fresh and there are many options for proteins and toppings. I built my own bowl and was happy to learn it came with unlimited toppings. It was easy to choose healthy options or just go all out for a delicious high calorie meal. We will definitely be coming back many more times.“
“There are two entrances- main entrance is on the main parking lot side of the Eden center (and then you go down stairs). The other entrance is on the back, next to a gym, with less parking (and less light at night) but a door that's easier to find.“
“Their Halal Chicken x Latin Dry Rubs x Mediterranean Spices come together so well in their BYO (Build Your Own) Chicken Bowls.I love ordering their chicken bowls with Huli chicken and then making it perfect to my taste buds with the additional sides.[[Food: 5 of 5]]Adding avocados, grilled corn, cojita cheese, feta cheese, add pita chips for crunchy chips, drizzled with their Huli Signature dressing and Jalapeno dressing for a nice kick. [[Service: 5 of 5]]I usually always order online because it's convenient for me but I have ordered in store once or twice and the staff is always nice. You can ask them for recommendations and they'll be honest of their answers.[[Ambiance]]It's quiet and there's usually no customers when I come here. It's a chill spot if you want to have a quick lunch.“
“Was driving by and noticed it’s location very easy to spot so I had to try it and I’m glad I did MOST AMAZING FLAVORS the food was great the service was friendly and very attentive to the customers, definitely a must try if you love Mediterranean food an nice change from what has been there. I highly recommend “
“I attended the Cherry Blossom Tea this weekend with five friends, and it was pretty nice! Two people in our party had strict dietary restrictions (gluten free and dairy free), and they were perfectly accommodated. I do agree with what a few others have said about the service taking a while (our seating was at 2:30 and we didn’t finish until 4:30, making us a little late for a 4:45 event we were all going to). The tea was lovely though and the desserts + tea sandwiches were surprisingly filling! Not to mention the complementary mimosas were an added bonus. The price was a little high at $110 per person, but I guess it is the Ritz. We had purposefully picked this tea experience because it was supposed to be a little bit less compared to some other cherry blossom teas in the DMV, but it ended up being about the same. The restaurant was also a little bit loud, but overall it was a pretty good experience I’d recommend, especially if you have friends with dietary restrictions.“

“The food was expertly prepared. We lived in Turkey for 3 years and this was the best we've had in the US. Our waiter was friendly and made recommendations on our wine selection we never would have done ourselves. The Turkish Red wine is amazing. If you appreciate authentic Turkish food, find this place.“
“Stumbled upon this place on accident and I'm so happy I did. The food is great along with the drinks. It's all reasonably priced and delicious. The drinks are also awesome and the staff is beyond sweet with a great ambiance! It was also the first time I had Ethiopian cafe cusine and I was happily surprised with how good it was!“
“Tried this mezeh location for the first time today for dinner with my husband. I couldn’t be more pleased with the friendly service Omi gave us, explained all the ingredients and had the best smile serving our meal. Loved their organic, no sugar added flavored teas as well, incredible flavors. Great experience and fresh healthy food! Will definitely be regulars here. Highly recommend.“
“Good food, Shawarma, beef and chicken, healthy aryan ! Big line for the lunch time may indicate that the food is good was worth to wait for though.Parking: I parked in front of the neighbor dance business. While having the lunch in the car was possible to watch the dance training:) was like a show for the lunch :)“
“Had a great experience the other night at th Ramadan Special Iftar Buffet hosted by Jerusalem Mediterranean Restaurant. The buffet began promptly at sundaown and there were just so many dishes to try! Highlighting the meal was the whole roasted lamb, and the Koshari. Delicious! The lamb was a tender slow-roasted perfection, where even the lamb belly was a melty collagen experience. Like a good pot-roast, but better and with lamb. The Koshari was something I had never tried and was a flavorful spicy mix of rice, macaroni eggplant and spices. I can imagine it to be a good comfort food. My wife raved about the Roasted Eggplant with Walnut and enjoyed the chicken soup,and fried tilapia. The Chocolate Baklava and Om Ali were a sweet ending to the meal. I like the rice pudding too! The Iftar Buffet is a good showcase try out many of their fine dishes. One of my co-workers told me he had an event catered from here as well. He had a whole roasted lamb that served his family and guests for a reasonable price. VIDEO:“
“Large portion sizes and good food- one platter with an appetizer and salad was more than enough for two people. The service was warm and they sized up the servings, as well as gave us extra water and dates for iftar. Nice local spot to visit.“
