    Another delightful meal at Yayla Bistro. We’ve gone numerous times over the years and have never been disappointed. I had salmon and my husband had bronzino- we both loved the food. We also shared some outstanding hummus as an appetizer, as well as excellent cheesecake for dessert. As always, the staff was very welcoming and highly professional. We feel fortunate to live within an easy drive of Yayla Bistro.

    I decided to try out Yayla Bistro for Valentine's Day dinner with my girlfriend. We enjoyed the multi-course Valentine's Day Menu. The food came out quickly and the food tasted good. We ordered a couple of drinks which were also good. The staff were very friendly and the service was good.

    Wide selection of appetizers and entrees- all delicious. Reception staff are courteous and helpful. Table service is attentive but not intrusive, very pleasant and informative. Save space for the generous serving of baklava with coffee.

    An Unforgettable Experience! We reserved a table for lunch to celebrate my spouse’s birthday, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm atmosphere and friendly hospitality. The waiter was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly welcomed. The food was absolutely amazing! As someone who has visited many Turkish restaurants, I must say this place stands out not only for its beautiful interior design but also for the exceptional quality of its dishes. The lamb chops, chicken kebab, and chenjeh were perfectly marinated and cooked to perfection, with no unpleasant smell at all. Even the appetizers and the ayran were delightful and of great quality. In the end, we had a very memorable day. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience, I highly recommend trying this restaurant at least once! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to adjust!

    My wife and I went to Yayla’s just after the new year and enjoyed it very much. So we decided to invite friends. They absolutely enjoyed their meals and the restaurant as well.
