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

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

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.

I placed an order for our team's lunch for over 20 people. The food was ready and hot waiting at the door. I missed one burger the owner say's no worries on us. This place looks expensive on the inside, but the meals are very...much so within budget.More

First time customers and we were blown away by the food. Absolutely fantastic. We ordered the grilled platter for two and everything was cooked perfectly and so delicious. The portions are generous - four people could have split the platter. We took our leftovers home...and feasted the next night. The service was friendly and prompt. The parking is a bit confusing the first time you go but once you realize where to park, it is not an issue. Highly recommend if you are in the area!More

My family of 5 had a spectacular meal today as we ate "inside" for the first time since Covid.The menu was filled with wonderful choices and we were all extremely pleased with each dish from appetizer to dessert. The service was excellent and everyone was...masked, so we felt very safe. We were all vaccinated so we could just focus on the food, the company and the ambiance. EVERYONE was friendly and accommodating. We will be back!!!More

closest parking is curbside so availability depends a great deal on the time of day you plan to dine. we were there mid afternoon - after lunch but before dinner and easily found parking space.
