Yafa Grille in Virginia

"The food was excellent! I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years, traveled the Mediterranean countries, and Yafa is authentic Mediterranean food! Thank you guys for the wonderful meal. I ordered a Pita-Pocket with Gyro meat, tomato-cucumber-onion mix, red onions, tsatsiki sauce, and a few other items. It reminded me of my time in Greece, Jordan, and Italy. These guys know what they are doing."

"Skip the chain fast food restaurants and come to Yafa! I was in the area for work and needed a quick lunch. Was not expecting the level of both service and quality The owner(?) and chef(?) were so welcoming and accommodating. The guy who took my order took the time to explain all the available options. I didn’t feel like I was in a fast casual restaurant, almost like fine dining. The food is so fresh, everything from the protein to the vegetables! Relative to the price, the portion sizes are refreshing since everywhere skimps you on extras. I stuffed my face with a protein, vegetable and pita bowl! My only regret is I don’t live closer because this was a fresh experience and I would come here weekly, if not, daily. In today’s world it’s nearly impossible to find quality and service like this without breaking the bank. Incredible"

"Food was high quality and had amazing flavor. My dish was a beef+lamb shawarma rice bowl with tomato cucumber salad, roasted eggplant, olives and hummus, dressed with cilantro salsa and toum. The side pita was fresh and delicious. Service was great: friendly and attentive. Wish I had one closer to my home or work!"

"I’ve had shawarma and kabab in many places, but this was on another level. The shawarma was incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every single bite. The kabab was tender, smoky, and grilled to absolute perfection — you can truly taste the quality of the meat. The bread was fresh, the sauces were rich and balanced, and everything tasted authentic and made with care. The portions were generous, and the service was fast and welcoming. If you’re craving real, flavorful shawarma and kabab, this place is a must-try. Easily one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be coming back! Yafa grille is really one of kind out there"

"My parents arranged catering from Yafa Grille for a party with about 70 people. They delivered and handled the food completely. Incredible and tasty and fresh - all items they served are excellent quality and reasonably priced."

"Mediterranean style chipotle! Lots of fresh options and lots to choose from gyro, shawarma, shrimp, to fresh kabob made to order. I had the gyro and shawarma and both were delicious paired with the eggplant, cauliflower, hummus, and baba ghanoush. Definitely recommend trying! Worth the drive!"

"Incredible Mediterranean restaurant near the highway! Got the chicken kebob salad bowl and the flavors were incredibly deep. The build your own bowl format is super quick/convenient and all the ingredients are very fresh. To top it off the service was wonderful, they are so nice! Will be coming back on our next roadtrip!"

Located in a cozy setting with a lovely patio, this restaurant is perfect for a casual dinner or lunch with friends and family. The star of the show was undoubtedly the shawarma. I opted for the chicken shawarma, which was cooked to perfection and served in a warm pita with a generous toppings. The flavors were expertly balanced, and each bite was a masterclass in texture and taste. The beef shawarma and gyro were equally impressive, with tender meat and a depth of flavor that had us scraping the bottom of the plate. The falafel was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delightful crunch from the sesame seeds. Served with a side of creamy hummus, this was the perfect accompaniment to the shawarma. The patio seating area was a lovely oasis, with comfortable seating and a warm atmosphere that made it easy to linger over a meal. The service was friendly and attentive, with our server happy to answer questions about the menu and offer recommendations.
