Smyrna Restaurant

I'm not an expert on Greek food but it's not for lack of trying; Austin, Raleigh, San Jose, Chicago suburbs, Boulder - nothing was convenient and clicked when I thought about dining. Then came Smyrna. Vising my kids in Alexandria and saw the restaurant and decided to give it a try, what a "WIN" for me. Atmosphere was light, airy and welcoming- nothing old school or stuffy yet authentic. Server was Arzu and she was great. Willing to take time to make sure I got what I wanted. Food was Outstanding; well prepared and presented. Flavors were delicious and food was approachable; made me immediately feel like I had been here before. I had the Shrimp Souvlakia; grilled shrimp w a little char, roasted veggies and the hummus app(in the picture). Everything was delicious. Make time and stop by. One more reason to visit my kids!!!

We came here on Sunday afternoon before a wine festival and they were pretty busy but we were able to be sat for the 4 of us without a problem. This was in a shopping center so we didn't have any issues with parking. Everyone was so friendly when we walked in and even with it being busy, service was fairly quick. Cute decor inside. We started off with a couple of sangrias, the red one was really good. We ordered the Spread Sampler, the Double Cooked Octopus, and thr Grilled Sucuk. The spread was delicious and came with warm pita breads, we were also able to order more when we ran out. I definitely recommend getting the Sampler to try the different spreads as all of them were amazing. The octopus was incredibly tender and flavor as was the Sucuk. I wish we were hungrier when we came but we had a great time and would definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.

This is the most wonderful place. The atmosphere, the food, the service all more than wonderful. My first time and it will not be my last. The most special was a dessert, Ravani. I have never been able to find this in N Va until today. It was delicious. Half eaten Ravani b/c I’m taking the rest home to savor it. Damla was our waitress, the most pleasant, sweet, informative young woman. Thank you for great service!

I cant believe we have never been to this restaurant before. Drive past it regularly bur today we decided to stop by and so glad we did. The food was delicious- probably the best Turkish/Greek restaurant we been to and in the area. The ambiance was also very welcoming and the service was great! Highly recommended and we will be back for sure. Update. Came back and Arzu was our server and she was excellent. The good keeps getting better! Ladies, the restroom has all the essentials you'll need if ever in a bind which to me, speaks a lot about the quality of this place.

Top notch food and service! Dined here tonight with a party of 7. Had a reservation and was seated right away. The servers were excellent and friendly! We ordered two appetizers and a bunch of different entrees. Photos will be added. Each dish was beautifully presented - also each dish was flavorful and fresh! We all loved our dinners! The restaurant was a bit tight but other than that it is clean and aesthetically pleasing! Highly recommend this place and would most definitely return here when in the area again!
