We had a wonderful experience at Yayla Bistro. The food was truly delicious, and the ambiance was extremely pleasant and carefully curated. The waitstaff were attentive to our table from start to finish, and we felt nothing was lacking. Sibel’s attention, smile, and professionalism in particular made our experience even more special. The kebabs and appetizers exceeded our expectations; everything was fresh and delicious. It’s definitely a place we’d like to visit again, and I recommend it with confidence.

Yayla Bistro is exactly the kind of place you want before a night out.
The three of us arrived dressed for an evening under the stars, fireplace jazz already on the agenda, and Yayla set the tone perfectly. Cozy, unpretentious, and refreshingly free of influencer theatrics—this is Turkish food that knows what it’s doing and doesn’t need to announce it.
The kebabs were juicy, confidently grilled, and seasoned just right. The mezze was fresh and balanced—the kind that quietly steals the spotlight. Portions were generous (yes, leftovers were packed), prices were fair, and the overall vibe felt relaxed and grounded.
Our server was Kurdish and very reserved—calm, quiet, and professional—which actually fit the atmosphere well. Service was attentive without hovering or forced small talk.
Before heading out, we ended with Turkish coffee—strong, rich, and exactly what we needed to stay alert and in a dancing mood for the night ahead ☕ .
A classic DMV moment: we spotted a Mr. Bean / Rowan Atkinson look-alike, realized too late that we forgot to get a photo, and immediately regretted it.
Dinner wrapped, leftovers secured, caffeine activated, and we headed straight to Godfrey’s for jazz by the fireplace —confirming Yayla Bistro as the ideal pre-jazz, pre-night-out stop.
Bottom line: great food, easy vibes, and just enough Turkish coffee to carry you smoothly into the evening. I’ll be back—camera ready. ✨

I came here for restaurant week, and got their special.
It was multi-course meal for around $40 and you got to choose from a wide selection of of their menu.
I went in a group and we all got to try different kinds of things and the dessert also had non-dairy sorbet options.
The portions were small but this was a course menu. So if you choose their menu don’t be alarmed by portion size as you’re supposed to have multiple items.
I think the sashimi plate was my favorite, it was incredible and tender. I could probably have a bowl of it personally.
I want to return to try more of their menu soon.

Amir is an excellent server and made my friend’s birthday dinner amazing. He was very attentive, timed everything perfectly, and we couldn’t have asked for better service!! He was amazing. The food was spectacular as well, as was the ambiance. My favorite was the rice pudding dessert! Had a great conversation with the owner Zaza as well. I love supporting a small business like this.

The food was warm, fresh, and tasty. Our server was attentive and very friendly. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. I ordered the Kofta wrap paired with their salad, which was very tasty. I’m definitely coming back and may be part of the rotation of restaurants I visit in the area.

My second time ordering takeout here and it won’t be my last. The kofta smelled incredible and was absolutely delicious. I paired it with the bulgur pilaf, which was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for Turkish food!

Amazing Mediterranean food with authentic flavors! The lahmacun was thin, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, just like it should be. The kebab was juicy, well-grilled, and full of rich spices. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were generous. A great place if you’re looking for real Mediterranean cuisine. Highly recommended! And thank you Kadir you’re the best
