We decided on Village Cafe after looking at some local lunch options on Yelp. This Mediterranean cafe hit the spot! The service was quick and casual. The food was delicious. I had the chicken shawarma wrap, and my husband had the lamb kebab sandwich. Both were very tasty! We also enjoyed the baba ganoush dip. We were very satisfied with our lunch. I would definitely recommend Village Cafe for a quick and easy meal. read more

We stopped by for lunch after the bluebells hike at Riverbend Park and Great Falls. The service was quick and place was quiet but filled up quickly for lunch time. The appetizer of hummus and hot pita was so yummy. All our dishes were good. I got the vegetarian delight 10" small pizza and they gave me a green hot sauce when I asked for hot sauce and it was perfect. read more

Delicious food. We wanted a bite after a hike in the Great Falls area and this sounded like a good place to try. There was plenty of free parking and we were seated immediately upon going in. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything on the menu looked so good so we started off with some appetizers, both of which were delicious. I loved the Shirazi salad, which was delicious and refreshing. The kashk e bademjoon had a great flavor profile and went wonderfully with the pita bread. For my meal I had the chicken shawarma, which was probably one of the best I've had. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, with just a hint of cardamom. My wife had the apple orchard salad, and son the gyro Greek salad. This place is a must-try. read more

The Village Grill never lets you down! The falafel on pita is absolutely succulent. The salmon kebabs are never overcooked and served with delicious salad or salad with rice. Always fresh and good. The pizza here is even fresher than most, particularly the veggie pizza, which I usually get with pepperoni added. It manages to taste healthy somehow, which is not something you can usually say about a pizza with cheese. They don't over sauce so the flavors all come through. I love the Village Grill. Tables are spaced nicely so you can sit with a friend or two. They never seem to mind if you stay a while. I always enjoy a glass of their iced tea, which is lightly scented with bergamot. read more

I was on the way home from the airport, I forgot about rush hour, it would be almost 2 hours to get home. I got off exit 44, it took me to Rt193. I'm hungry, tired, hoping for someplace to stop for a bite. I saw a small strip mall in Great Falls. I see the sign for Village Grill, went in. What a wonderful experience. The staff was welcoming, as an African American woman it was refreshing. The food was delicious, I ordered the chicken shawarma platter with some cardamom tea. My only regret is that I didn't order one to go as well. Thank you So much for making me feel welcome. Although it's far, I will most certainly support this business and order more next time. read more

I love the fresh, plentiful food here and cheerful service. Grilled meats, a glass of wine- what could be better?

Village Grill receives a BCI of 87 as it delivers reliable Mediterranean comfort food with plenty of halal and vegetarian choices, a solid kids' menu, and approachable prices. It's not fine dining, but as a neighborhood staple it checks all the boxes: good food, friendly service, and inclusivity. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with indoor seating that feels cozy and an outdoor patio perfect for people-watching in Great Falls. Accessibility is wheelchair-friendly, parking right out front, and gender-neutral restrooms. The menu covers a lot of ground. Halal meats dominate the kebabs and gyros (~31% of all entrées), vegetarian plates are well represented (~16%), and several items can be adapted gluten-free, though there are no codes like GF or V listed--you'll need to ask the staff. Kids get their own menu (~11% of offerings) with smaller portions like chicken tenders, gyro wraps, and pita pizza. Service is consistently friendly and efficient, whether dining in or picking up takeout. Prices run $10-20 per entrée, which is excellent value for the quality and portion sizes. Best picks: gyros, kebab platters, falafel wrap, and baklava for dessert. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI 2.0) is a proprietary algorithm that measures consistency across food, service, atmosphere, accessibility, and value, and translates that into a simple probability: an 87% likelihood that a guest will enjoy an above-average experience. read more

OMG!!! Delish!!! From the Dolma to the wrapped lamb and chicken kabob sandwich!!! Don't walk...run to this gem in Great Falls. So many other dishes on their menu to try. Definitely a "come back" cuisine!! read more

Mediterranean food is my favorite, and Village Grill did not disappoint! We started out with the pita and hummus, and I simply fell in love with the bread. I probably ate too much bread honestly, but I just couldn't put it down. For my entree I ordered the salmon kabob platter with rice and salad, and I loved every bite. Great food to have after a long hike in Great Falls! read more

My husband and I tried this place for the first time last week and ordered carryout: Chicken Kabob, Koobideh (ground beef) & Chicken Combo, and a Greek salad. The meat was juicy and tender, and the salad was fresh with crisp greens - everything was absolutely mouth-watering! read more

This place is great! We got a large margarita pizza to go and it was great! Thin crust, fantastic sauce and spices to the crust. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu! A longtime local to the area I was not drawn here originally for food. There's a lot of turnover in the area. They will be competing with deli Italiano but this place is my new favorite! A must try for sure. Tastes quality and care in their food. read more

What an adorable family restaurant. The restaurant has two walls of full glass that let the light into their small dining area. The outdoor dining area contains a few tables (allows dogs) and has a retractable covered awning to keep the rain and heat off. The service and food were stellar. It looked like they had a lot of regulars that came and went during my time there. I can definitely understand why. You can tell all of the food is made fresh in-house. read more

Highly recommend! We were visiting the Great Falls Park and finished our hike at lunchtime. Car GPS recommended Village Grill only 8 minutes away. We tried it and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent, tasty food. The pizza was excellent and hot. One in our party had gyro wrap; she commented several times on the freshness of the ingredients. I thoroughly enjoyed the apple salad with delicious grilled chicken. The service was great. Atmosphere clean; they have outdoor seating. I will come again when I revisit the area with Grandchildren. read more

Took my mother here for takeout, and the food was very good. But their menus on the window and also those on the counter which I ordered from showed $20 for "single" filet mignon kabob (plus rice in this case), and $24 for a "combo" kebob of chicken & lamb (also plus rice). Before I even address how silly-high this pricing is for a takeout kabob restaurant.. I was instead charged $24 and $30, respectively. I asked the cashier about this after being charged, waiting, and realizing the total charge was super high, and she told me, "I'm sorry, I have brought this up to the managers, but the menu prices are wrong." Where are the managers in all of this? As a restaurant operator myself for over two decades. this is Restaurant 101 stuff. Don't put higher prices in the POS *before* you update menus in front of the guest. You're basically ripping people off by design. That I wasn't even offered a refund for overpaying for the prices on menus right in front of me is insulting. Do better. read more

Food was good, but service was awful. Had to ask 3x for water. Ended up giving my water to my dog cuz she never brought water for my dog after I asked. I specifically picked this restaurant because it had outdoor seating that was dog friendly. Also it was very hot outside and they brought room temp water, which isnt what i expect from a restaurant. She seemed a bit sarcastic with me at the end, asking if i was the only one who wanted a water refill. It was 100 degrees out. The waitress did not seem to speak english very well and i had to repeat my order several times, i even pointed at the menu; she repeated it back to me but kept saying the wrong thing so i thought for sure i would get the wrong item but it did end up being correct. We had to grab the waitress' attention a couple times, she did not seem to be paying attention to our table at all. Its a very small restaurant so even if they had been completely full, it shouldnt have been difficult to manage the tables. I tried the Shawarma greek salad and it was awesome. Friends liked their food also. Simply because of the service i would not return. The outside seating area is only 4 tables but it is covered so the shade is nice. read more

Yet another restaurant where prices have gone up and quality has gone down. Of the four dishes we ordered: chicken, ground beef, salmon and shrimp (all kabobs), all but the last were overdone, with the ground beef being almost inedible. The Iranian lady who used to own this place a couple of years ago really served a good meal at a reasonable price. This is no longer true under new management. read more

Food is decent but saw one of the workers kill a fly in the kitchen with a fly swatter on some kitchen ware and didn't wipe them down and then gave to a customer. Doesn't seem sanitary. The workers were also not wearing gloves. read more

My friend and I were hungry after hiking at Great Falls. We had left her car in the Safeway lot. Mediterranean food sounded good and all we had to do was walk to the top of the parking lot. We were welcomed and greeted cheerfully upon entering. We noticed the patio and decided to eat outside on such a nice afternoon. We ordered a falafel salad, shirazi salad, and a mezza platter. EVERYTHING was delicious! Fresh greens, some of the best baba ganoosh I've ever had, (mild smoky flavor), and a nice creamy hummus. They substituted falafel on the mezza platter as I'm not fond of dolmas because of the typically bitter grape leaves. The falafel was moist and flavorful with a crispy non-greasy outside. I'm tempted to make a special trip in return just to try more of their foods. Really pleased with our choice here today! read more

My son has bball practice in GF so we have approximately 60 minutes to grab dinner. We take a look at the various options in the GF Center and decide on Village Grille as it isn't as crowded as El Tio or Bollywood. We walk in and take a table per the waiter. There are only 2 other tables taken. We sit down and wait 2 or 3 minutes...no menu, no acknowledgement, nothing. He takes the order of the other table and walks by us with the menus and goes back to the kitchen. We decide to leave as it seems like we will not have enough time considering wehave to pick up my son. You wonder why the place only has 2 tables taken on a Friday night at 740pm. We go to Subway next door for a quick meal. So, how is the food you ask?? We've been here before and also have ordered carry out in the past. The kabobs (chicken, beef) are very good. The gyros are good also. Wasn't too happy with the chicken shwarma as it has an odd taste of some spice I can't quite place. (I love shwarma and will order it quite frequently when I am in NYC). My only other comment is they are a bit on the expensive side for kabobs but I suppose that is what you should expect in Great Falls. Not bad but nothing great and the service could be better... read more

The food was ABSOLUTELY amazing! The owners and all the employees are just thee nicest people! I highly recommend this place. read more

One of the best places in the DMV for Persian/ Middle Eastern fare. Freshly made Mezze, Kubideh, Lamb chops, Shish kebabs, salads and warm baked breads. It's a small setting in Great Falls village, and makes a great stop to relax and refuel after you have spent the day walking or hiking at the park. The owners are particularly gracious hosts who pay individual attention to every customer as a special guest. A must visit place if you are in Great Falls , or even if you're not ! read more

We decided to try Village Grill for take out and were not disappointed! The chicken shawarma was delicious and perfectly seasoned, and the rice and yogurt sauce were perfect accompaniments. Equally impressive was the cheese pizza we ordered for our daughter. I would not have thought to get pizza from here, but it was really good! So good I almost might order it for myself next time! This place is a great find and we are looking forward to going back! read more

I had a very big and very delicious Chicken Havana Panini. Solid flavor and the panini had a great crunch. My daughter lived her grilled chicken panini as well. And if course, if she's happy, everybody's happy! I'd like to come back and try more dishes. read more

ABSOLUTELY ARROGANT OWNER LOST MY RESPECT FOREVER. I've been a fan for years. I've posted positive review for years. I ordered lunch here at least once a week for years. I have brought my family here for years. But today was ridiculous. As I always do, I ordered my chicken Kabob for lunch. For the record, I hate beef kabob. Not just here. But I have always hated it. Don't like the smell. Don't like the taste. As I always do, I phoned ahead my lunch order for carryout. I picked it up, came to my office, and opened my lunch. oooooops! They gave me beef kabob. No big deal. Honest mistake. I called over expecting an easy replacement and a quick "sorry about that!" I figured I could swing back by in ten minutes and pick up the chicken I paid for. Instead, the owner decided he needed to argue with me and tell me I absolutely DID order beef kabob. I explained the above -- that I have never eaten beef kabob in my whole life, and definitely did not order that. But even if I did make a mistake, why not say "Sorry about the miscommunication, Rick! We'll make you some chicken." I didn't even mind the inconvenience and delay. I was having a good day. I just wanted the right order. Instead, even after explaining my distaste for the beef and the zero percent chance I ordered beef, here's what he said next: "I KNOW WHAT I HEARD." So I guess I (the customer) am a stupid idiot, and there is just no way he made and honest mistake. He literally argued vehemently with me and made sure I understood he's absolutely sure I am wrong and I definitely ordered food I would never eat if given to me for free. He essentially accused me of being stupid and made me feel like an idiot. This guy is an egomaniac who just lost a regular customer. All because of his horribly bad attitude. There are many establishments in Great Falls that appreciate their customers. He deserves none. By the way, I sent the beef Kabob back over to him and had it dropped off to him. He kept my money. So no food. No refund. read more

We tried this place about 3 months ago. The portion of the food was offered was not too much. Usually my husband and I get one food with rice and the other without rice and share, but it didn't work here. The kabob koobideh was good but not a restaurant style. It was like the way my hubby cooks it at home Also the price was higher than other Iranian restaurants read more

Must have changed owners. Very deceptive. If you are new owners, you should be proud of it and what you will do differently to improve. SHAME ON YOU for not being transparent of the management change and charging prices that don't reflect what the previous quantity and quality for the same price. Also don't appreciate that Yelp pre-loads a review for me read more

What a surprise! We aren't from this area, but it was lunchtime! We thought we would be getting sandwiches with a name like Village Grill, but to our surprise they had a new menu. Since the kabobs were new, we decided to try them out. Actually, my boyfriend was leaning toward a sandwich until the owner brought out plates to show us what the kabob combos looked like. I went with the chicken kabob/Greek salad combo. The veggies were fresh, but cut into very large pieces so it was slightly annoying to eat. However, it was a tasty salad and all I needed was my fork and knife. The kabob was seasoned very well, and the pieces were amply sized. The waiter and the owner both checked in on us frequently. The manager was excited to hear our opinions about the kabobs, anf eagerly asked for any suggestions. It was nice to see someone who was open to feedback. The one downer was that the prices were steep for lunch. Our bill was over $40 for two kabob combos and two sodas. Albeit, there was a substantial amount of food. Perhaps smaller portions and lower prices for lunch and this would be a 5 star review! read more

The kabobs here are fantastic! The seasoning is delicious and the temperature is just right. It was one of those sit back and close your eyes type moments when I had a bite of each. Seriously. The Persian pita and yogurt sauce was also on point. As was the rice. The salad had just the right amount of everything and they had a dressing that added just enough flavor without making it unhealthy. As someone who very rarely eats salad this was one I was happy to devour. They also serve Italian (pizza, meatball subs, etc.) but we are saving that for next time. They also have cupcakes delivered for dessert. They are a little pricey for lunch but other than that this place wins on all fronts... If you find yourself out here definitely try this place out! read more

So I was working on some equipment behind the Resturaunt at a gas station and got a whiff of the most amazing food ever! I immediately got hungry! After I finished up I drove around and found the diner! So many great choices on the menu. I went with the steak and cheese on ciabatta! Man oh man that was the best one I've had in Northern VA! The staff is very polite and the sitting area is very clean and orderly. They have a covered area outside to sit at on the nice days! If your near Tysons Corner it's worth the few extra minute drive through some beautiful landscapes to get there! I'll definitely be eating lunch there again in the future! That was the freshest steak and cheese I've ever had! read more

This is the old Sciliano Restaurant. I've always felt it was a cut above for the area, and, thankfully, that's still the case even with a name change of about 6 months ago. The same ownership is in charge--good thing. Tucked away in a corner of a small shopping center, Village Grill puts out some solid cuisine. The chefs have a deft hand and preparations are light. The menu is full spectrum; specials are well done, not a just an afterthought. I had a Moroccan chicken dinner here that was a daily special--it blew me away. They still feature traditional Italian dishes as before, but have added a bunch of kabob combinations as well as other Middle Eastern fare that's listed as "Mediterranean Fusion". They've picked up on the kabob craze and run with it. I like their brick oven pizza; it's safe and not wildly experimental. Also, they make some fine coffee. Nice and clean, too. Call it whatever--just don't mess with the cooking. read more
