Good food, excellent service, friendly atmosphere. I was a little disappointed in the bread-- I was expecting flatbread but it was thicker and almost like European bread.

We enjoyed our evening very much. Service was attentive and the food delicious. We were not rushed at all. We shared Patrician Kozleme as an appetizer -- this spread has smoked eggplant and roasted red peppers among other ingredients. It was ample size for the two of us. We followed this with the Moussaka which came hot from the oven and was served with a fresh and colorful salad on the side. Would definitely have again -- and again. Many thanks Maya Bistro. We hope to see you again soon!

The food was good. My shrimp was excellent. My husband’s dish was excellent, too. I was discouraged, though, as there were so few dishes that did not have garlic. The manager was very helpful in directing me to the few entrees that did not have garlic.

Had a lovely light lunch with friends this week. The falafel was delicious served with ezme and hummus as was the Patlican Kozleme, a spread with charcoal smoked eggplant and roasted red peppers. The salmon also got a thumbs up. Very friendly and attentive staff. Will be going back for dinner sometime soon.

We went to Maya Bistro for brunch on Easter Sunday. We had a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was delicious. The food was fresh and the menu offered a good selection for the entire family. I highly recommend the mixed grill platter and the baklava.

Maya Bistro knocks it out of the park again. This is my 9th or 10th visit and I have yet to taste anything I did not like. The staff works together to treat everyone like family and the server’s recommendations were perfect. This place is a jewel in Arlington’s culinary crown.

What a neighborhood gem! We absolutely love this place. The food, the service, the suggestions are all fantastic. Warm, friendly atmosphere with the best hummus, dips, spreads and breads to start. We've had the kabobs and the mixed grill and nearly all the mezze. Plus, the servers friendly welcome and great suggestions easily guide you through. You really can't go wrong! Thank you! This is our new fave spot.

We came here for dinner with some friends. It wasn’t busy when we arrived. But we did have reservations for 7. We placed our order immediately but it still took forever for our dinner to come out. Other than that, no complaints. The food was amazing and the staff was very accommodating.
