Tried the half chicken over rice with a side of salad and chicken faroge wrap…read more Chicken over yellow rice- delicious. Reminds me of Peruvian chicken. Seasoned well, cooked well and has a delicious char. Yellow rice was a great compliment. Salad was wilted underneath the chicken but that's my bad. I should've known better. It also came with a yogurt sauce and sultana sauce. I love tzatziki but this was like a watered down tzatziki and I didn't like it. Sultana sauce is a seasoned mayo- not spicy. Good! Cajun-y? Chicken faroge wrap- grilled chicken, pickle, sultana sauce, garlic sauce in a wrap. The chicken, sauce, and pickles are good. The seasoned chicken with two sauces were super flavorful and not salty. Chicken was dry and wrap even dryer. I dislike the wrap- it's not soft like pita or crunchy. It's more like a dry pita bread that's thin. Sultana is located inside Dulles Town Center food court (upstairs). Fast casual. Service was fast (5 minutes) and friendly.

I ordered the mixed kabob (salmon and vegetable) and everything was tasty, hot and delicious! Everything had just the right amount of seasoning. Even the grilled pita bread had a nice light sprinkle of seasoning. The white tsiki sauce was creamy and had a nice texture due to the slices of radish. The salmon was tender and flaky. I'm definitely going to try more items on their menu on a return trip and I'm going to recommend to friends to try this humble eatery that's serving hot tasty Mediterranean fare!

Ivy on the Lake is a very cool Mediterranean restaurant and bar with a laid-back, hidden-gem feel…read more The space is clean and stylish, but the real draw is the huge patio overlooking a small man-made lake. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, order a few plates, grab a drink, and enjoy the atmosphere. And the food? Top-notch in option. We kept it light this time and went with appetizers instead of a full meal: shawarma bites, olives, Brussels sprouts, and Spreads with Tandoori Bread. Now, I normally don't even like Brussels sprouts. The other two people in our party were loving them, so I finally gave in and took a bite. Yeah, pretty freaking delicious. For the spreads, we chose baba ghanoush, tzatziki, and cacik. The tandoori bread was warm, incredibly soft and tender, perfect for tearing apart and dragging through the dips. Definitely one to order for the table. The shawarma bites were another decent hit and had us eyeing some of the larger dishes coming out of the kitchen. And that's when we realized we're going to have to come back. There's a mixed grill that looks like it could feed about four people, piled with grilled meats and made for sharing. Then there's the Shawarma Experience, which requires at least 24 hours' notice. Overall, Ivy on the Lake has the combination we love: great Mediterranean flavors, a beautiful outdoor setting, and a very chill atmosphere. We only scratched the surface this time.

Their saffron rice was so good! The lady was making me and my friends bowl at the same time. I wanted the dill yogurt dressing, and she thought my friend said it on hers. She offered to make the whole thing over again, but my friend was fine trying it out. She said if she didn't like it, she would be happy to make it over. Even the drinks were great! They had some interesting and flavorful selections. I really enjoyed the blueberry lavender one. Even the soda were made with the real can sugar, and had some wonderful flavors. I'm so excited to hear that we are getting this in Jacksonville!

The service was S-L-O-O-O-O-W and our server messed up the order. She skipped bringing in the appetizer we ordered and first forgot fries and then forgot sauces/ napkins. Worst was when she messed up the billing by confusing 2 different cards from 2 different table orders. Food: The chicken shawarma wrap was good and came with fries which was yummy 5/5 Tip: the foil around the wrap was not "wrapped" well enough so all the sauces from the wrap dripped on our clothes and table :( Please hold the wrap carefully and be mindful it will be leaking.

The dish also provided pita bread, which was also amazing!! We also both ordered dirty martinis, which was also amazing!!! We will definitely, and I mean most definitely, be coming here over and over again!!!

We ordered a wonderful spread to share: Lamb Shish, Lamb Shank, Adana Kebab, Sac Tava, and Lahmacun. Every single dish was cooked to perfection -- tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Lamb Shank practically fell off the bone, the Adana Kebab had just the right amount of spice, and the Lahmacun was crispy and packed with flavor. It truly was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Highly recommend Efesus Mediterranean Cafe to anyone craving authentic Turkish cuisine paired with genuinely warm service. We'll definitely be back!

Loved the kibbeh, which was delicious both inside and out. The manti was rather flavourless with the dough and meat unfortunately, even with the yogurt sauce. The sucuk pide was tasty too, especially once you get more into the center of the pieces with cheese away from the crust, but I wish there was more beef per bite. Loved the kazandibi, as it was light and nicely spiced with cinnamon. It went quite well with the complimentary tea. I'd come again if I was in the area!
