Akivva Grill - Shirlington

Step into Akivva and let your taste buds embark on a Mediterranean escapade that's downright Dionysian in its delights. This Turkish fast casual gem is serving up customizable bowls that turn the decision making process into an art form. Will it be the Beef Lamb Doner, spinning you into a gyroscopic joyride? Or perhaps the Adana Kebab, a culinary mosaic with textures and tastes that tango on your tongue?But let's not forget the Turkish Lahmacun, a dish so authentically thin yet loaded, it's like the Mediterranean's answer to a pizza with a PhD in deliciousness. And the Sujuk Pide? Imagine if a pizza and a sausage had a love affair on a yacht cruising the Bosphorus that's the vibe.For the grand finale, the Trileche and Homemade Baklava are not just desserts; they're the sweet, syrupy sentences at the end of a love letter to your palate. The Trileche, with its milky interior and caramelized charisma, is like diving into a creamy dream, while the Baklava is a phyllo philled fantasy, a crispy, nutty, buttery bite of bliss.In short, Akivva isn't just a meal; it's a culinary cruise across the Aegean without leaving Arlington. It's a place where every bite is a backstory, every flavor a fable. So, if you're looking for a food experience with a top notch staff that's a feast for the senses and a tickle for the taste buds, look no further.

I ordered a wrap but when my order was ready I received a chicken pide. When owner saw my discontent face he just replied haven 't you tried before? It 's delicious and he charged me for it. That 's a shame the lack of customer service not caring to change order so I left hungry.

The best turkish food in town ... authentic and delicious!!!their meat and mezze and deserts are to die for! it is really at the same level as restaurants in istanbulwould really recommend ? lahmacun, kofta , and the small jelabi lukemat desert ?

Honest review, hands down the best Turkish good in DMV area. Try Adana kebap I swear it was better than famous Kaşı beyaz and Develi !

This place is so bomb, been here only three times and been blown away every single time. Authentic delicious Turkish flavor and very reasonable
