Egg and cheese pide
Vidhika B.

I loved this place! I had an egg and cheese pide (for the first time) and it was so, so good. It was served fresh, tasted great, and was fun to eat. The service was super friendly as well - I was welcomed immediately upon entering and felt comfy hanging out for a bit even after I'd finished eating. The cozy couches were also a nice touch! The only downsides were a) the location: it's on the ground floor of an office building, which affects the vibe a bit, and b) the plants are sadly all fake: obviously not a huge deal, but ya knooow. I'd for sure be back if I found myself in the area, even if just to grab a pide to go!

**This establishment is inside an office building in McLean** Another cafe in the NoVA area to try out! Did not realize it was a Turkish cafe. I love Turkish coffee so definitely wanted to try theirs. They made the Turkish coffee in a sand heater, which was very interested. Never seen that before. The aesthetics is pretty minimal - not too many plants as I thought there would be since it's called "Hanging Gardens". They have a lot of various Turkish pastries and food. We got their pida (not pictured) and it has a very soft crust, more soft than a regular American style pizza. The waiter who brought out our food and drinks was superb and cleaned our dirty table. My partner got their latte but it did not have much flavor. Highly recommend to try out and I would come back to try their Turkish sweets!

Friendly staff and great ambiance. I came here to get some work done. The music is at a medium level so if you need a quiet space this place probably isn't the best for you unless you put some headphones in. The music actually helped me to concentrate though. Pistachio oat milk latte: I didn't taste pistachio at all. The oat milk wasn't as creamy as I'm use to. Overall, I would skip on this coffee. Dubai strawberry chocolate: pretty pricy. Not a lot of pistachio cream with the philo crunch. The chocolate wasn't melted and came in big chunks. I expected a little more but I'm still glad I tried this. It was good overall, just wished there was more pistachio cream.

Located in the back of all the office spaces, you'll find a cute cafe. I went after my doctors visit to get lunch, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw this pop up at Yelp. The iced pistachio latte is okay--I think it would be better hot. The pide was also good but could use more meat--however, for this price, that is a steal! I really wanted to try their baked goodies--they all looked so good! It is great that their prices are so good and the decor and the cafe itself makes more a lovely little date or study shop. I will say that their golden utensils are super cute as well as the teapots they have up at the front! I love the gold accent and it gives a subtly elegant vibe. The staff was very nice and kind towards us and the food and drinks came out fast.

We recently stopped in to The Hanging Gardens for a midafternoon coffee break. The space itself can be a little tricky to find as it is around the back of an office building. Once you find it, there is plenty of parking. There is also plenty of space inside to sit and relax. Though it took me a while to locate a menu for the food (they are on a back counter as you stand and look at the register - or at least they were that day) we could see many of the offerings in the glass cases. We decided on a baklava and one cold and one hot drink. The baklava was tasty. The only problem was the utensil it was served with was a little spoon with a super pointy end. I found it hard to use without spearing myself so I just picked up the dessert and ate it that way. I try to be civilized, but, dessert is dessert... The cold drink we ordered was a banana & peanut butter smoothie which was fine. We thought it was a fun combination to try. For a hot drink, I ordered a mocha but what I received was a macchiato. I didn't want to make a fuss and send it back so it was fine but I missed what I had ordered. The service was very friendly and welcoming even though they didn't get the order correct. The space is airy and comfortable. There are a lot of food offerings both savory and sweet.

iced pistachio americano raspberry dessert
Makenna M.

Such a cute little spot! The desserts are really good quality. I got a pistachio iced americano which wasn't my favorite because it tasted pretty flavorless, like it didn't have enough espresso shots in it and not enough syrup pumps. But it might have been just because of the barista that was working at the time, I originally asked for iced but she made it hot and I felt bad that I had to make her remake it because she seemed a little annoyed. I thought it was a little overpriced for the tiny cup size too but I will try a different drink out next time. The decor is really nice though and so was the manager when I walked in! I got to use the free wifi and work on my laptop in a nice air conditioned cafe for an hour or 2.

Sura is absolutely delightful she will greet you with a warm smile and make you feel at home
Mimi A.

Beautiful spacious cafe that's perfect for remote workers or friends catching up. The decor is absolutely lovely. The signature dish pide was scrumptious and delicious I enjoyed it a lot. I'm excited to come back for more. Sura provides such a friendly atmosphere with her delightful smile, service, and recommendations.

Karak tea

This café was in a bit of an odd location at the back of a corporate building. They did have a pastry spread, but I found it a bit confusing and while some of them look nice some of the ingredients were not vegetarian (although one appreciates clear labeling in this regard). However, I was quite happy with the option to order a falafel sandwich for breakfast either in large or a miniature slider size. A tea that I ordered had an interesting flavor with just a bit of spice. There was a large space to sit inside and it fit my needs for a breakfast placed.

Pistachio milk cake and Turkish tea.
P H.

Turkish inspired cafe with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. It is off the lobby of an office building, so you need to drive around the back of the building if you want to come in straight from the parking area. Ordered a pistachio milk cake and Turkish tea. Loved both and was happy to find out the tea has free refills. Staff are very friendly and service was fast. Seems the establishment listened to the feedback because menus are now on the table and they serve dessert with full sized utensils. Recommend you stop by and check it out.

Egg and cheese pite
Jamie J.

This place is such a hidden gem! The food and coffee are great- I stumbled in here on a Saturday (which has reduced hours) and did some work. It's quiet and has ample parking - seems to be inside a corporate building. You'll see signs in the parking lot to get to it.

Karla P.

The ambiance of this place is quite nice, they have nice large windows, comfy seating, decent sized tables. It does get quite busy so don't be surprised if someone asks to sit at your table. The food was quite yummy, but not filling. It's a nice small bite, but don't expect to be full. I really enjoyed the banana avocado milkshake, it was so creamy and I was able to use oat milk as a DF option, which I appreciate. I'd give it a 5/5. The food we got was a 5/5 taste wise but 4/5 for the small portion sizes. The service workers were polite and answered my partners questions diligently. If you are in the area I recommend coming by here for a milkshake and a small bite.

Had a delicious breakfast this morning with a pistachio latte, yum! Very interesting menu with an array of options. Had the Turkey pepperoni omelet and an amazing Turkish pastry to go along with it. Very cute ambiance and wonderfully friendly service! And they let us bring our little pup in with us which we very much appreciate :)

I ordered a pistachio latte at this Tysons location and it was mostly milk and ice. When I asked who appeared to be the male manager there if they could remake it, since the one they gave me was mostly ice and milk, he gave me a dirty look. Not very friendly service here. They're very busy, which is why I don't recommend if you're in a rush or want a latte that isn't made rushed. It doesn't give off specialty craft latte, because the quality and time spent on making the latte isn't there. They use too much milk. Or maybe they're just really inconsistent. Either way, it would have been better if the manager had tried to make things right rather than act annoyed. I really don't understand the hype and all the rave reviews, given the poor quality of the latte I received and bad service, this made me not want to come back. Disappointing coffee.

I need a little more salt on my steak but that's a personal preference. The main meal comes with a side and their fresh fruit salad is incredibly refreshing. The vibe is vibing.

Look it's expensive and I'm not going to sugar coat it, but I ordered a lemon mint and i give a my blessings. If you're a hookah fanatic, I say it's worth the $70.

During the event, your waiter informed us that the host had prepaid $2,000 toward the venue, food, and drinks. At one point, I specifically asked the waiter about separating the accounts because I wanted to make sure I could pay for my own drinks. The waiter told me that there was no need because the host had prepaid $2,000 and, at that time, the guests had only used approximately $800 of that amount. Later in the evening, after many guests had already left, the same waiter approached me and stated that my bill was $750. When I asked how my personal bill could possibly be $750, I was told that it was the bill for the entire table. I never agreed to be financially responsible for the entire table, nor was I informed that charges from other guests would be assigned to me. In fact, I had specifically asked earlier to have my own purchases separated. - Every item included in the $750 charge presented to me. - The reason those charges were assigned to my account rather than to the individuals who ordered them. - Any gratuity, service fees, taxes, or other charges included in that amount. I would appreciate management reviewing this matter carefully. I am willing to pay for anything that I personally ordered and authorized, but I do not accept responsibility for charges incurred by other guests without my knowledge or consent. Please contact me promptly with the itemized documentation and an explanation of how the $750 amount was calculated. If I was improperly charged, I expect the charge to be corrected or refunded accordingly. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving it professionally and promptly.

We ordered several dishes to share, including the Chawanmushi, Seafood Sunomono Salad, Miso Salmon, Sashimi Combo, Super Dragon Roll, and Rainbow Roll. Everything was beautifully prepared, but the Sashimi Combo and Super Dragon Roll were the highlights of our meal! Chawanmushi: This traditional Japanese steamed egg custard featured crab meat and enoki mushrooms. I especially loved its delicate, silky-smooth texture. Seafood Sunomono Salad: Unlike the typical Sunomono salads I've had elsewhere, Cafe Ile's version featured an assortment of seafood, including salmon, tuna, crab, and octopus. It was a nice twist on a classic Japanese dish! Miso Salmon: Miso-marinated salmon served over a bed of cauliflower purée. A lovely combination of flavors! Sashimi Combo: One of my absolute favorites of the evening! The chef's assortment featured an impressive selection of seafood, including monkfish liver, herring, various types and grades of tuna, salmon, scallops, and more. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and I especially appreciated the flavorful takikomi gohan served alongside the sashimi. Super Dragon Roll: Another standout! This roll featured shrimp tempura topped with marinated, cooked eel and alternating red, yellow, and green masago. The combination of ingredients made this one of my favorite rolls of the evening. Rainbow Roll: A classic California roll topped with tuna, salmon, and avocado. A great choice for anyone who enjoys a variety of fish in one roll! Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience at Cafe Ile! I appreciated the variety of traditional Japanese dishes, the freshness of the seafood, and the thoughtful presentation of each dish. The Sashimi Combo alone makes me want to return! We're already looking forward to our next visit, especially to experience their omakase! At the time of our visit, omakase was offered Monday through Thursday at 5:30 PM and required advance reservations. Highly recommend Cafe Ile for anyone looking for quality Japanese cuisine and fresh sashimi in McLean!

This is hands down the best sushi I have ever had!!…read more Lots of homemade items. They make their own soy sauce and ponzu sauce. Rumor has it that they make their own wasabi. What a pleasant surprise to have fresh sliced ginger rather than pink jarred ginger with all the preservatives. The Food was absolutely AMAZING! It was very fresh! The PRESENTATION was AMAZING! I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. When we first arrived we were brought a bowl of seaweed salad and freshly steamed edamame to share at the table. We also enjoyed a small bowl of corn soup. My friend and I shared the Salmon Carpaccio appetizer. We both had a Tysons Combo. I had the yellowtail and my friend had the salmon. The yummy house-made soy saw was not as salty as a traditional processed soy sauce. We chose Cafe île, since it was near our hotel in Tysons before our trek home to the valley. We arrived at a very strange time. It was 3 pm on a Sunday over Labor Day weekend. The bathrooms were clean so I am assuming the kitchen is too. The restaurant itself had piles of crumbs around. It was quite dirty. Hopefully they were in the middle of sweeping and cleaning up the dining room. We can't wait to come back!!
