Cheesy Rosemary chicken is so good
Janelle E.

I am a huge fan of Gagawa. The cheesy rosemary chicken crispy onion rice, and broccoli slaw is my go-to order. My husband likes to try a different flavor chicken each time we go. And for his sides he gets the pesto pasta and mediterranean salad. I love how tender and juicy the chicken is. The flavor is always so good on the cheesy rosemary. The strawberry lemonade is really good too. If you want a straightforward, delicious and balanced meal, I highly recommend this place.

Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Noodles and Salad
Marc R.

We were able to eat here during their opening week and availed of their Buy One Get One Free promo. It is located in the corner of Tysons Corner ground floor food court. The servers were kind and attentive and they kept the tables clean for every new diner. The noodles were surprisingly tasty and the portions were generous considering it was a fast casual restaurant. Their business model and menu is simple choose your chicken protein base with your choice of pasta or rice with greens. Healthy and filling.

Gagawa Plate, Chef's Pan, Pasta with Tomato Sauce, Mediterranean Salad
Jon T.

Gagawa recently opened and I wanted to check it out before viewing a movie at AMC. Located on the first floor of Tyson's Food Court, Gagawa is right across from California Pizza Kitchen. Since it's an open area, you can pick from getting served by a waiter, sitting down at any table and ordering via QR code, or ordering through a touch screen. I opted to sit down and order via QR code, which made it easy. You can pay through your phone without having to get up or flagging someone down. I started off with ordering seasoned sprinkle cut potatoes, or just fries with zaatar seasoning. They were fried good and I had no issues finishing all of it. This left me on a good impression the rest of the food will be great too. I wanted to try what was recommended so I got the Chef's Pan Recipe, Pasta with Tomato Sauce, and Mediterranean salad. When the plate came out, it was long! I was honestly shocked by how much food you are getting for such an affordable price. The Chef's Pan recipe consisted of chicken thigh meat marinated to deliver a unique taste, with shallots, fresh mushrooms and peppers. Along side with the pasta and the Mediterranean salad, it was delicious and filling. I am in awe of how good this place is. I would come back for more since the food came out so quick. It makes sense of why they are such a renowned chain abroad!

This place looked intriguing to try. This is located in the bottom food court in Tysons mall. It is a sit in restaurant. Service was good, could be better. Ordered The Pit master and along side of the Three Musketeers Platter. Food was good. Affordably priced for some healthy food options. Would recommend if you want to eat something a bit healthier for a good price.

Teri & Yaki with rice and broccoli slaw
Maria F.

Absolutely loved this gem of a place! Fresh, healthy options of Mediterranean (Turkish) flavor but also offering American faves like Teri Yaki. Appetizer Nazik was my favorite. Grill roasted eggplant flavor is strong and served with pita. The staff from the cashier to the servers and bus persons were so friendly. Hubby got the Teri Yaki with rice and broccoli slaw. You're given a choice of noddle or rice and salad or broccoli slaw. I got the grilled breast with cheese sauce. I shall return. Oh and btw I learned Gaga's means chicken head in Turkish (per the cashier) lol learned something new!

Interior

This is their first location in the US and we really liked everything We tried a lot. I think the prices are exceptional for the amount of food and the quality of the food that you are getting. The chickens were cooked to order and they're not frozen. The pasta or rice that comes with it were very flavorful. The starter trio was very crispy. I really loved the house made strawberry lemonade actually ordered twice. Ali nazik is a Turkish meze made from eggplant and yogurt. It was so tasty. Everything was a hit in my opinion. Very clean, service was very nice. It is spacious. Perfect after or during a long day of shopping. I highly recommend this place.

Ali Nazik Chicken
Mira R.

The moment we entered the restaurant, the server greeted us and was very warm and helpful as he helped us navigate the menu for our first time visiting. We ordered the Ali Nazik chicken & la fiesta chicken with side of pesto pasta & salads. The interior has plentiful seating and is bright and colorful with ambient lighting. Servet B was very friendly and had such a positive demeanor. Will definitely come back!

Cheese rosemary chicken with pesto noodles.  I highly, highly recommend the cheesy rosemary!

Chicken Master Gagawa is new at the mall, we've been waiting to try it and my wife and I decided tonight was the night. First off, the photos in the menu don't look appetizing, but the pictures are very misleading, the food was really good! We ordered the grilled halloumi cheese appetizer, which came with a really good smokey jam to dip it in. To be honest, I prefer pan searing the cheese rather than the grill, but the taste of the jam more than made up for the fact it is not pan seared. We were not overly hungry so we decided to share a meal. Fortunately, the meals are very generously portioned! One meal was more than enough to share with 2 people. We did ask for extra plates and ate from the dinner plate family style. We ordered the cheesy rosemary chicken, which was definitely the right choice. Amazing!! My wife said it was probably the best chicken she has ever eaten. The chicken was very moist, and flavorful! The chicken looks like it was wok seared, so it had a char-crisp on the outside. Again, it was amazing. For the side we had the pesto noodles, which I typically am not a fan of, but I loved it! Don't be offset by the photos in the menu, the food is much, much better than the pictures.

Delicious, super fresh food, incredibly friendly service and such an open, welcoming atmosphere. Everything felt thoughtful and well done--an easy place to love and one I'll definitely be returning to.

Better than fast food!
Johnathan H.

Gagawa in Tysons Corner exceeded all expectations! The service was unmatched by any other restaurant we've visited--attentive, warm, and perfectly timed. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and served in just the right portions for lunch. My wife and I truly enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning to try more items from their menu. Thank you, Songu, and the entire Gagawa team, for providing a delicious and memorable lunch experience. Highly recommend!

new restaurant in tysons! to be honest i was a bit hesitatnt to try it since there were some customers but not many inside. Also the pictures of the food, honestly don't look that great. But, with promise of flavorful chicken and for the sake of trying something new out with some friends, i'm happy we gave it a shot! I like that we can scan the menu to order and even pay at the table itself. We all got the sets with pasta and salad and actually the portion is really big! i think you could share with two people if you wanted or just enjoy a big meal to yourself. Sriracha - actually has a spicy kick and taste like a fresh, spicy sriracha! very moist and juicy chicken, cooked pretty perfectly. 3.25/5 Chef pan - it promised on the menu that with its blend it should be reminiscent of red meat which sounded fake but actually delivered! also moist but texture was closer to a steak than the bouncy chicken in the sriracha flavor. 3.5/5 Original - if you dont really want seasoning and need something safe? was not my order but even this was made pretty well. 2.75/5 Tomato pasta - boring but not bad. nothing special. 2/5 Mediterranean salad - nice sour and sweet vinegarette and i liked the cranberrries? raisins? whatever fruit they had on it was a nice touch. not a salad person but this is pretty decent. 2.5/5 Hummus - nutty and yummy. Not that special. Way too little bread to hummus ratio. 2.5/5

Delicious fresh healthy choices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend choice! Chicken was tender and delicious.

Located in the mini-food court on the first floor near Nordstrom.

Dined here last night and absolutely loved the vibes. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night…read moreat 5:30pm (despite there being no online reservations available). 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.

Came here to meet a friend for happy hour/dinner. Unfortunately she was running a bit late so we…read moremissed happy hour foods but I got myself a drink while waiting for her at the bar- which wasn't the most comfortable set up (slightly cramped) but bearable. I got the Thyme to Bloom and it was good! We got the Mucver, Hummus, and Grilled Chicken. The Mucver texture wasn't my favorite but the sauce it came out with was yummy. 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!
