    Excellent family run restaurant. A great find. Excellent food, service, atmosphere. The decor is charming, and comfortable, nicely appointed. Prices for many items are reasonable a couple just slightly high, nothing outlandish. Overall a terrific restaurant well worth the drive. No wonder they were packed. Absolutely we will be back!!!!

    It's a great place—cozy and quiet. We wished we had discovered it earlier. Being from the Mediterranean region, I have high standards for food. The food here was superb. I highly recommend it.

    Disappointed. Based on such good previous reviews, the food was average. Makes me no longer trust the reviews.

    We had a terrific birthday dinner for six. Sat outside on a beautiful evening and received great service, as usual. Our tasty platters were predictably excellent and well prepared, and a great match with our Lebanese wine. Yayla is one of our favorite restaurants-for dinner, brunch, whenever. A delightful gem in our corner of Arlington.

    I read some of the not so good reviews, fortunately for me, AFTER I had dined there to celebrate my birthday. Thank goodness that we weren't deterred from going. The food was out of this world delicious!!! The drinks were great, the appetizers were great, the entrees, the dessert.............just fabulous! It was a great place to celebrate! The portions were full, so much so, that we had to take part of our entrees home with us. We had good service and the young lady who greeted us and fixed our drinks also brought out my dessert with a candle in it! I would definitely go back again and I would recommend to others, especially since I'm the one who's known as the 'foodie' in my circle and my folks respect my recommendations. :)
