I've tried many of their offerings including dips, salads, cheeses, Garides Saganaki, Kotopoulo Souvlaki, Lavraki, Mousaka, Kotopoulo, Filet, etc. all were well prepared and flavorful.

We went in for dinner and shared a few items…read more We started with the calf liver. It was just ok, it had a nice char but was lacking flavor. It would have been nice with a lot more lemon juice. 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.

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.

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!

Would definitely come back for this again.

I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of such a flavorful platter! I really appreciated how kind the owners were while figuring out what to order. They were super attentive and friendly! Plenty of seating I think as well both inside and right outside. Great place to grab lunch if you work in the area for sure! This place is located on the bottom floor where the convenience store used to be.

Plenty of seating as well so it was a nice break while shopping. Food: I got the medium Istanbul platter that comes with a salad, choice of dip, choice of protein, and choice of vegetable. I got chicken, chickpeas, and the purple cabbage dip (soooo good) . Ask for a side of their spicy sauce as well, it's not spicy but more smoky and savory in my opinion and added so much flavor. I love this spot because the food tastes so fresh and homemade. My second time here and everything has been consistent, definitely check it out!

They start you off with a basket of bread and an olive spread to go with it. I then ordered the dolma and the halloumi appetizers to start. They were delicious and simple and savory. The dolma especially had a nice, subtle, but almost tangy, flavor to it. I went with a falafel wrap (which came with fries) meal, and this was very tasty falafel. One of the better falafels I've ever had. This food filled me up quickly, so I turned down dessert. Next time, I will be more adventurous and try something more traditionally and uniquely Turkish. All in all, a great place worth checking out for food lovers.

Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted by the owner, John, as if I was a long lost friend. I walked around the restaurant, as John prepared my order and there were racks of books and, in addition to inside seating, also a bit of outside seating. Very nice atmosphere for a group or alone. Let me tell you, the pork gyro was the star of the show. Flavorful tender pork with a perfect amount of tomato, onion and yogurt sauce. I definitely recommend that. The baklava was the perfect desert to finish it off. Light and tasty.

My zucchini sticks were 9/10 and the tomato sauce, for dipping (I assume marinara) was a solid 8/10, the gyro meat was a solid 7/10, the pita bread 6/10, the fries 7/10, the tzatziki was 6/10 and the feta cheese 8/10. All together it was a good meal and the price point for this corner of VA, was good! The customer service was solid. 9/10. Everything was good. The only downsides: tzatziki could have been a bit thicker, tastier, and more abundant. Parking in that strip mall sucks sometimes. Overall, I think it's a great place. A classic sit down diner feel. I will be going back to explore their menu. And if you read this, definitely order the zucchini sticks. :)
