Falafel
Peninna A.

Cypriana's strongest asset is its staff. I wish I had written down my waitress' name so I could put a name to the praise, but she was bubbly, helpful, and friendly. I could tell from other conversations throughout the restaurant that the other servers were equally kind to their patrons. The decor is beautiful! I feel like I don't usually see restaurants with such a strong aesthetic in the Fulton area. I think the ambiance created by the decor definitely heightened my experience. Now, for the food. What we ordered: - Traditional Country Spinach Pie - Falafel - Spicy Lamb Beef Dip - Grilled Octopus - Grilled Salmon - Chicken Tenderloin - Athenian Shrimp The spinach pie and falafel were standard; good, but nothing to write home about. The spicy lamb dip was my party's favorite mezze. I feel that Cypriana does meats very well (especially the grilled ones). But the dishes were brought down by the sides. The grilled salmon, octopus, and chicken were all delicious! However, the red quinoa mixture tasted incredibly earthy. I did not enjoy it, but some healthier members of my party did haha. The chicken and fries was probably the best pairing (and child-approved!). Regarding the "Athenian Shrimp": Upon some research, I believe this is the restaurant's interpretation of Garides Saganaki. The restaurant served the sauce on a bed of pilaf. From my understanding, shrimp saganaki is more commonly (not exclusively) eaten as a dip with bread. Of course, there's no "wrong" way to serve anything, but the rice paired with the Athenian Shrimp was incredibly moist to the point of distraction. The sauce was very good, but I found myself eventually eating around the rice because the wet texture was so off-putting. I think the sauce would have been better paired with a pasta, pita, or baguette.

We had an awesome dining experience here! Everything we had was super delicious We were a party of four so we had a great opportunity to try the majority of their Mezzedes but our fave was definitely the spicy lamb & beef dip - full of flavor !! There wasn't any dish that we didn't like , in fact we pretty much ate everything they brought out Service was attentive and quick too ! The restaurant is attractive and airy with well spaced tables. It was pretty busy that evening but it was very comfortable with really low noise level. Great food, exemplary service and wonderful ambiance- all that for a well deserved 5 stars Can't wait to go back and try some more deliciousness!!! Go and eat there, you won't be disappointed !

What we paid

Very new Mediterranean restaurant at Fulton! Everybody now how I like Greek kitchen because very close culture with ours! Pretty big and capaciously space. Decoration don't disturb you. The bar with semilunar shape at the entrance. There are also cocktail tables at the entrance. This part separates with little wall from the restaurant... The food was good. We took, Dolma (grape leaves with rice and mincemeat) it was tasty but I prefer a bit more less cooked. A bit mashy Mougendra; this is the first time I tried this Mediterranean dish. I cant compare it with my experience. Only thing is when I search the dish, it looks again less cooked on the internet pages. You can see the lentils and rice piece by piece. I like the dish. It's looks more winter dish, but I like legumes anytime. The pita bread! OMG it should be my favorite. They make the way how Kebap restaurants are making in Türkiye! Hot, plump and tasty! We took 2 medium plates. -The octopus was, very soft but tast wasn't that good. I like tabbouleh! The quinoa again was over cooked. And smell very lengume! (You have to wash very well before cook. With very well rubbing) -The chicken tenderloin was good. Especially potatoes on the sides was very tasty. I can't say %100 satisfaction. But only 1 moth ago they opened and vision looks they willing to be good spot! So will come back again! (The thing was; there was a loooong hair on the table in the beginning. And the table was very sticky. We said the waitress. He clean up and said sory. But they doesn't know how to make relax the customer. This is not about the restaurants problem. All the American there is huge staff problem. He have to take the hair first and must clean the all table. Not only that part! And the second thing the restaurant was empty and the host give us the second table on the entrance. Because it's closest one to the kitchen I think. Sometime I can't understand the attitudes! )

Cypriana Old Fashioned - very good!
Art T.

I've only had the chance to try one food item here so far, the classic hummus, but it was very good! Might be the best I've had so far! I think what sets it apart is how smooth and creamy it is. A lot of dips have a grainier or even slightly chunky consistency. Not so with this one. Their drinks are exceptional as well! I had the opportunity to try two: their Old Fashioned and the Tears of Chios. The latter has a very unique name and some unique ingredients, but I strongly encourage you to try it! It was a much needed departure from the standard bar menu that literally everyone has. The service was wonderful, very attentive, and very friendly. The overall look and feel of the place was quite nice. It doesn't have a Mediterranean gimmick about the place, but it is modern, clean-looking, and calming. Overall, I would definitely come back here in the future, and I can't wait to try some of their other dishes. The menu seems focused on ordering many of their smaller plates and sharing them amongst the table. I think that would be the ideal way to experience the food here, with friends and family.

Chicken Tenderloin Medium Plate

Cypriana is a lovely addition to the Maple Lawn neighborhood. Saw that they recently opened and decided to try them out. A big WOW!! I have found one of my go-to spots for food and drinks. The restaurant is beautiful. Large bar area with an even larger dining area. I sat at the bar and was well taken care of by Kiri and Sam! Super friendly and offered great food recommendations. I ordered the chicken tenderloin which was absolutely phenomenal. Each bite was filled with fresh Mediterranean goodness! It's served with Cyprus fries (which are like potato wedges), tabouli (a refreshing mix of cucumber, tomatoes, and herbs) and this beautiful tarragon dressing. I wasn't expecting such a treat for $19. They are still fairly new so they haven't established a HH menu. I'm told that will come eventually. Can't wait for that! I will most definitely recommend Cypriana to anyone looking for authentic Mediterranean food.

This was the first visit for our group on a weekday evening. Ample parking is located in the back and very easy to enter through the lobby area. Wood and natural tones for the decor was calm and relaxing. Background Mediterranean music was lovely to listen to and conversations could be easily managed. Our young server was energetic and answered questions politely and helpful in arranging separate checks for our group of 12. Dinner selections were varied, salads were very generous and the ingredients with fresh herbs was appreciated. There are smaller to larger plated items so depending on how hungry you are, you have options. Their Spinach pie seemed to be a big hit and was told it was delicious. I had the Grilled Portobello Mushrooms which were huge and grilled to just the right tenderness with a nice balance of sweet and tartness with their balsamic reduction. It came with a serving of tabouli and the Cyprus fries were done to just the right degree of crispness and lightly seasoned. Everyone enjoyed their meals, I only heard one comment that they wished the moussaka was a bigger portion. Flavors and sauces went well with each dish. Prices may be a bit on the higher side but you can adapt with your selections. I wish they served lunch but for now they are serving dinner and have a happy hour period on weekdays between 4-6pm. I would love to return with my husband for a couples night out.

Wonderful restaurant week experience! For $45, we enjoyed unlimited mezzedes, and we really took advantage of the unlimited part! First, we had to stop by the bar for the excellent happy hour for our first round of drinks. Great wines! Then of course split another bottle with dinner. Our waitress was great, super attentive. We ended up trying almost all the dishes and probably had 15-20 small plates between the 4 of us..we were STUFFED! The meat dolmas, koftas, and lamb dip stood out the most to us. We also really liked the falafel, cheese puffs, and hummus with the light and airy pita bread. The eggplant was not a fave for anyone. The veggie dolmas also meh. Both moussaka were great, but we all preferred the veggie with halloumi cheese. We definitely could've had more pita but towards the end, the restaurant was getting busier and service slower. It took about 45 minutes for our plates to arrive after ordering and actually ended up still getting plates through dessert! I think the kitchen needs to reorganize during peak dinner times. Dessert was a sweet ending- we got one of each option available but the best were the pistachio baklava and loukoumades (donuts). We'll be back

Incredible meal- not a single dish was a miss! Thoroughly enjoyed the wine as well and the service was attentive and kind. Was not expecting the salad sampler (pictured) to be as amazing as it was but it is a must for sharing for the table. Looking forward to coming back!

Tenderloin
Amanda C.

We visited here for the first time for my birthday. Initially seeing the training week sign I was a little nervous but instantly I was put at ease. The whole serving team was just awesome. Special shout out to our two main servers of Teh & Abdul who waited on us & were all smiles and top notch service. The food was really delicious and I liked the manager came around talking to folks about feedback. Their bartender was whipping up awesome cocktails. The wines were great as well. Honestly I cannot find a complaint with this place & I sincerely hope they keep up the momentum as they go along. We will absolutely be back!!

Beef tenderloin - delicious

This lovely house turned restaurant has been on my go-to list for a long time and it did not…read moredisappoint. We started with the calamari and hummus dip. The calamari was perfectly breaded and crispy. The hummus had a great blend of garlic, parsley, a bit of cayenne and red chili flakes with lemon and paprika. All these ingredients make a plain hummus extra tasty. Our two main entrees consisted of the broiled Atlantic salmon with asparagus and Greek potatoes and the Yero plate containing rotisserie beef and lamb slices serviced over pita, with tzatziki, and salad. The salmon was impressively at the perfect temperature. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. The Yero plate had the best slices of beef and lamb. They were soft and absolutely well prepared. Our dinner was accompanied with two musicians who played lovely traditional Greek songs. The music was not too loud and we were able to have a nice conversation at our table. Service was a tad slow towards the end of our meal. We were seated in the basement and there was a time when not a single server was on the floor. Water service was lacking and odd -- we waited quite some time for a refill and when someone did come, only one of us got the refill when we both needed water! Still, I loved the food and atmosphere. Parking: Plenty in the back of the restaurant.

Overall, we were disappointed with our experience…read more Pros: The restaurant jtself is nice--the location is convenient, the open air dining was lovely, and there was ample parking. Cons: The service was not great. They have lots of staff--someone to light the candles, someone to bring the water, someone to take our order, someone to bring out the appetizer, someone to bring out drinks, someone to bring out entrees, etc. But there was very little follow up along the way. Our waters never got filled again. Our server took our drink order right away, but took a long time to come back to take our food order. Despite that, we still got our drinks well after the appetizer came out. The next time we saw the server was when we were done eating. The food should have been better for the price as well. We shared the grilled halloumi cheese appetizer. The cheese was cold by the time it got to us, and the plate came with two small olives--just two. At that point, don't bother. I had the bronzini, which had a good flavor, but was mostly skin. There was very little fish attached to two filets. My wife had the scallops. The entree came with five or six (can't remember exactly) medium-sized scallops. My wife described them as "forgettable," with very little thought to presentation (some of the scallops were laying on their side on the plate. The asparagus was overcooked. Unfortunately we both left still kind of hungry, and definitely put off.

I was finally in the area and got a chance to go in person and wow, the experience of eating the food fresh there was even better - although I must say this food does travel very well. I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC!

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for something special. Ela Mesa Taste of Greece…read moredidn't just serve us a meal -- it transported our taste buds straight to the Mediterranean. We started strong with the feta cheese appetizer, and wow -- the creamy, briny richness paired perfectly with fresh accompaniments. The Greek salad that followed was unbelievably fresh, with crisp vegetables and vibrant flavors that felt like summer in every bite. But the real star of the night? The pork chops. They were cooked to juicy perfection, seasoned beautifully, and paired with sides that complemented the dish rather than competed with it. Each forkful was savory, tender, and honestly one of the best versions of Greek-inspired pork I've had in a while. What sets Ela Mesa apart isn't just the food -- though it truly delivers authentic, elevated Greek flavors -- it's the whole experience. Guests consistently rave about the warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're craving classic Greek dishes done exceptionally well or discovering Mediterranean flavors for the first time, this place is a must-try gem. We'll absolutely be back -- and next time, we're leaving room for dessert!
