Incredible Moussaka and Kofta ... Atmosphere was perfect which included popular Turkish and Greek music in the background... Highly recommend ... A go-to if you are in northern Virginia and DC
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.

We stayed in Falls Church Arlington for the weekend for the kids' soccer match. Since it was our first time staying in this area, we wanted to try Maya Bistro, where we could have a nice meal around the hotel.We're glad we tried it. We were very satisfied with both the service and the food. The Charcoal Smoked Eggplant, Maya Cigars (Crispy cheese rolls) and Ezme served at the table were fresh and delicious. The portion size was enough for the three of us to share. Cheese rolls were great, you should try it.For the main course, I had Adana (grilled ground beef and lamb) with white rice, and the kids had meatballs and Manti (Turkish dumplings stuffed with beef, served with yogurt and tomato sauce on top). One of my kids is a picky eater and finished the whole plate of Manti. So, Manti scored a perfect 10 out of 10. I enjoyed the Adana; it wasn't too spicy, I recommend it. The only thing was if the pide (Turkish flatbread) served at the table was a little warmer, it would have been even better, but since we arrived around 8:30 on Friday night, maybe the pide wasn't hot, but it was still tasty.The interior was very clean, and the service was friendly and good. I liked the ambiance, music, and atmosphere. I definitely recommend it.

My husband has a walker so navigating a restaurant dining room can be a challenge. The restaurant staff was very helpful in finding us an accessible table that was out of the way for "parking" his walker. We've been to Maya Bistro several times over the past few years and have enjoyed sampling many of the delicious menu offerings. We always leave completely stuffed and satisfied. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over us. We highly recommend the restaurant for a celebratory meal in a relaxing environment.

Chose items off brunch menu on a Saturday. Really good menemen, served with an equally great flatbread with olive spread. Latte was perfect. Rice pudding, not what I was expecting, but still it did the trick as dessert. Our waitress provided attentive (but not hovering) service. It wasn't busy, so noise level was very low. Only negative was minimal parking.

Solid experience and authentic Turkish dishes. Really enjoyed the trio of dips; hummus, baba ganoush, htipiti with warm pita. We also enjoyed the brussels sprouts so much that we ordered 3 orders. We finished with rice pudding and künefe for dessert which was a perfect way to cleanse our palates.

This place is a local gem. Absolutely love the food and very well priced. Going into the rotation for sure.
After three of us had our first meal at Maya Bistro on a three-day weekend, we all agree: the Turkish food and wine, the service, and the ambiance were top-notch. The imam bayildi eggplant appetizer, kebabs, roasted vegetables, moussaka, and breads were all exceptional. We will all be back.

Very nice bistro. Food is excellent. Very fresh and beautifully prepared. They have a good drink menu too. All our servers over the times we have eaten there have been professional and courteous. We discovered it before COVID and it was a staple on door dash for us. My daughter is a vegetarian/pescetarian and they have a diverse menu for all of the family. We enjoy dining in the restaurant as well so I am very glad they seem to be doing well! Had a great lunch there on the 4th with a friend.
Turkish delight for meat eaters and vegetarians alike! Fresh, well-prepared and presented food in a stylish cozy setting. Try the mezze! Bar in rear is well-stocked; vibe in front is bright and friendly. Easy conversations possible even when lots of tables occupied.

The restaurant accepted our 8:15 pm reservation. As soon as we still down, we are informed that the kitchen closes in 15 minutes. They rushed us and we were very uncomfortable. We ended up finishing our dinner 10 minutes until 9:00 pm. The restaurant closes at 9:00 pm, and I could not order Turkish coffee after our dinner. We were very disappointed.
