★★★★★ 5.0 Stefan Mori · Jan 2026

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.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Noreen Qamar · Dec 2025

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. Be

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.
