“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Very solid halal food! I tried the chicken and lamb over rice with salad. I got mild as the spice level and to me it was still pretty hot. The sauce helped with the spice though. I thought the meat was cooked okay but could have been served a little fresher like the lamb for instance. However this place was really good and I would order from here again!“
“I have been looking for places with dessert windows and was pleasantly surprised to find that here.We came for shawarma and left with appetizers and dessert as well.They’ve added a very nice looking eat in counter area in the back.They don’t seem accustomed to people that aren’t from their culture. Don’t hesitate to ask, they are super friendly explaining what’s in everything.“
“Edwin helped me out! We were in the area at an appt up the street and wanted to order to go really quick. However the app pulled up McLean as the closest (15min away) instead of the Vienna location that was right up the street. So, we accidentally ordered from McLean. I didn’t realize until I showed and didn’t see our order on the to go racks. I embarrassingly told Edwin the situation and he FLAWLESSLY fixed it with no hesitation! Service was incredible here and that’s why we keep coming back. Thank you again Edwin! You saved us a headache.“
“Time after time it’s the same exact thing! The young crowd taking care of the frontline is just amazing at this location. They provide a service you rarely see at any business. Of course I keep coming back for the Thursday specials or chicken kabob flavor any other day! Keep up the good work! ???“
“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.“
