Just moved to the area from DC proper and looking for a new Greek place. Ordered tonight, paying…read morethe same as what I used to in the city... and was STUNNED by how little meat was included--maybe 1/3 as much as my old place (The Greek Spot, in DC) gave for the same price. Also totally plain rice (compared to the delicious pilaf Greek Spot has) and bland, unseasoned potatoes. Extremely lackluster and disappointing, especially the tiny amount of meat for $22 (though the little meat that I did have was very tasty). EDIT: Also, the platter did not come with any tzatziki or feta or anything (just plain rice and pita and gyro meat). I had to pay $2 extra to get one of those tiny 2-oz ketchup container things full of feta. Really unfortunate!

We also got the octopus. I was too hungry and forgot to take a picture. This was actually pretty good. It also comes with a bean puree. The lamb shank is served with orzo. Since I'm gluten free, the waitress let me substitute for a side of spinash rice, which was very tasty. The lamb was also very good, fell off the bone.

After being seated at our table, we had the pleasure of being served by Mousa all night. He was very hospitable and quite attentive to our needs. We tried several items on the menu.

The chicken was ridiculously tender and the rice was incredibly infused with the juices of the chicken in addition to a blend of other spices. Truly an amazing dish.

My entrée was the duck fesenjoon, which is a whole duck leg sticking in a bowl of really savory stew. Just to make sure you got your carbs in, all entrees came out with rice tahdig, a dish made of delicious basmati rice compacted and fried on the surface for the nice golden brown crispy experience. The food all tasted generally authentic with an American kick. They make a great espresso martini as well. Had a couple of those. No issues about the atmosphere; it was lively and generally upbeat. The valet parking is complementary/priced at your discretion and they take cards, so that was super convenient, I tossed the guy a $20. Overall would highly recommend, has been one of the most authentic Persian dining experiences I've seen in the DMV, and I would definitely go back!

We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with. The service was so attentive. The vibes were really nice and not overly fancy. My family and I thought it was one of the best Turkish/middle eastern meals we've had in a while (and we thought this was much better than Zaytinya). Overall I cannot wait to return.

Hummus and grilled chicken were good- not the best I've had but decent. The vibe was nice and I liked the decor. I'd come back to try their happy hour!

First, I didn't realize it was a sit down and order restaurant, I was used to short order. I was quickly seared and within a couple minutes one server had brought me water as well as fresh tandoori bread and a delicious spicy green sauce to go with it. A second server appeared quickly to take my order. I explained I was used to short order, and all I wanted was their version of chicken and steak (not ground beef.) The waiter explained how he'd do the combo on the menu and off he went. Having looked at the menu, I feared this might be an expensive option, and it was. But a few minutes later I was presented with a platter of delicious looking steak, chicken, rice, onions, tomato, and event a char-roasted jalapeño. It was enough food for my wife and I have had for dinner between us, so the price was well justified. Every thing was delicious. At the end of the meal, I asked if I could order another tandoori bread, and get a small to-go container of the green spicy spread to bring home for wife to try. They brought me both a generous helping of bread and the sauce, and charged me for neither. This service, combined with a delicious meal that, while expensive, will end up being three meals, means this is definitely a spot I plan to go back to as well as recommend.

The ambiance and service deserve a 5* but the food leaves a lot to be desired. I am hoping the chef reconsiders their choices. The food felt like it was made of cheap ingredients picked up on discount aisles, Mexican tortillas used instead of pita bread (needed to order it as none come with the multi-dip sampler). ketchup like item was used as a dressing in the priciest dish on the menu, the ground beef kebab felt like a reheated frozen kabob. Rice on the side showed up soggy and undercooked. This is unlike the experience we have in most Mediterranean /middle-eastern food places in NoVA. I have experienced this twice, so it can't be a coincidence unfortunately. My bad for not remembering the first experience. I cannot imagine how they have a loyal customer base that has had no issue with their food quality (based on the reviews here). It's at a prime location as well to be getting away with this. I wish they got Gordon Ramsey-ed and that more customers left honest reviews. Sorry for my harshness in this review. I did not like being deceived by the looks and reviews.
