The staff were very friendly and helpful. We have food allergies, and they answered questions with much kindness and patience. The food was great, and the service was even better.

Our first visit here, and we really liked the menu and the service. Our server, Mary, was a delight and was helpful without being pushy. The food was mostly great, and the desserts were even better! The halloumi appetizer was memorable but avoid the calamari....It should be accurately described as squid chewing gum! Also note that the appetizer serving size is very small.More

First time visit. Very elegant atmosphere, and a wide-ranging and delicious - looking menu. For the food and atmosphere, very reasonable proces. Service is exceptional. Servings are not US-size, so perfect for a meal. Highly recommended.

My wife and I tried the restaurant for a first time. Nice location with free group retail stores guest parking. The interior design is very attractive, clean and cozy. The food was very delicious and the service is outstanding. We will definitely go back soon...there and will recommend it for family and friends. We would give them 6 stars out of 5.More

My wife and I came here after reading all the great reviews. Yes, they are correct. We had the mezzanine plate for two. The chefs cigars were the highlight. Then we split entrees of Minte (spelling) and the spinach pie. As one might guess the...Minte tastes minty. It was delicious and I recommend it but it was a surprise! Service was wonderful.More

Visiting family in Arlington and Loved it! So happy we found this place. Will be back! The food is moderately priced too.

This is the best Turkish food I ate in East Cost. Elegant ambience and presentation of food. Dora was an amazing host. Will definitely be back. Both soups were delicious. Adana was perfect.

This was one of the few restaurants opened for Thanksgiving dinner until 8 pm. Its a lovely restaurant with a simple decor. The service is excellent. The drinks are on pricey end. We started with cocktails and international beers. Flower box was delicious with prosseco...and elderflower liquer. My husband enjoyed a greek beer. We started with a choice of mezze cacki yogurt based delicious dip, baba ganoush an eggplant dip. It comes with warm bread and spicy chili pepper sauce. We needed the red lentil soup, warmed our bodies on this cold day. We loved the mujerc, zuchinni patties. The lamb chops were absolutely delicious and very well marinated. The chicken wrap was one of the best we ever had. Definitely save space for superb array of dessert. Pistachio icecream with chocolate and layered hazelnut cake, absolutely decadent. We enjoyed our experience.More

We enjoyed this Turkish restaurant a year ago and when we were passing through, and we went out of our way to go there again. We started with well made cocktails and due to the late hour, we sampled the various appetizers, all of which...were unknown to us except one that I had as a main course last year. Since it was Monday night, all wines were half priced and we selected a Spanish Malbec that was very good. We were able to add to and delete from the standard appetizer sampler and they were all very good and new to us.More

Had a fantastic lunch with Kafte and Falafel, and incredible hummus, bread. And the best French Fries EVER! Staff was attentive and portions generous.

We had been to Turkey several times, and we relished the chance to taste real Turkish food. This bistro is the real thing from the servers, the appetizers, the entrees and the deserts. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire visit, and we hope to return. We...highly recommend taking time to go to Yayla.More

Atmosphere, strong variety of food was great! Hosts were welcoming and served us well. Bread to start off with was delicious. Wine was great as well. Parking is a little tight but that's the whole Washington DC Area too my knowledge.
