East West - Tysons

This place is a little hidden gem! We found this place walking around Tyson area. Outside, it looks pretty casual but INSIDE...oh my! this place (according to my world traveler friend) , it looks like all the turkish restaurants in turkey (perfect)! We didn't expect to be waited at our table. We were expecting to just go order , sit down and eat but whoa! The waitress was nice and quick to get our order once we sit down. Everything was fantastic. They did not have anything that is on the dessert side. They are out of all the desserts which is dissappointing! All the foods are pretty much good and hefty! My dish was $25 and my pistachio coffee was $5-6. My dish was Kofte ! The rice was soft and well seasoned and so was the meat. Meat was juicy. Perfect and filling! The nan was hot, crispy and soft at the same time! All to dipped with perfect season hummus!

Great food but rude waitresses. Don't try to ask any questions off the menu because they'll act like you are an idiot but the problem is they don't speak English well so they act bitchy to cover up their lack of understanding.

Situated near a busy street, this place gets a lot of traffic--way more than I had anticipated. To no fault of the staff, there were screaming children and people talking over each other. I was hoping for a quiet place to enjoy some tea/coffee. This is not the place haha. My mistake! But the staff was very nice, friendly, and efficient with my order. The noise level is crazy on the weekend, so maybe don't come here to work .The salep is their signature drink, and it was surprisingly not too sweet and the consistency is thick though I think they kind of overdid it with the cinnamon (but it could just be me since I'm not used to it). Definitely a nice and home-y place, given the blue walls and white window sills and farm-like (?) furniture.Edit: Was told by staff to come on a weekday when it wasn't too busy. So, definitely will try to come on a weekday if you want to work.

The authentic flavors and diverse selection of dishes left me in awe. The menu presented a harmonious blend of traditional Turkish delicacies, including mouthwatering breakfast staples like Menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs), Sucuklu Yumurta (Turkish sausage and eggs), and flavorful Turkish tea. Each plate was meticulously prepared, bursting with vibrant colors and savor-worthy taste.

I highly recommend giving it a try--I'm certain you'll fall in love just as I did.

Odd location in a business park, but nice ambiance inside. Food was good and prices ok, but service was not good. Had to flag down waitress to order, and then to pay. She never checked on us in between. And it wasn't very busy. She was just setting place settings for people who might come later I guess? I suppose I might go back to check out lunch/dinner items.

Came for breakfast, was warmly greeted and welcome to sit wherever we'd like. Staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was traditional Turkish which is exactly what we wanted and enjoyed it a lot. My only complaint is the price point. $70 for breakfast of a set few items is pretty hefty. After tip we spent $80 which is a lot of breakfast I think. Other than that, it was good. Unfortunately at that price I probably won't try it again but I'd be happy to try dinner items.

Çilingir Sofrasi @ewcafecom A traditional Turkish spread for $70 for 2-3 people. This was my first time having this meal and I'm obsessed. The mezze of dips like hummus, baba ghanoush, coban salata...more are paired perfectly with warm bread and is my favourite. Lamb chops, kasap kofte, adana kebab & chicken kabob served hot offer a bit of everything protein wise. Very cute restaurant I'd say average size wise for our area. Overall, this is one of those dinners that speak to me. It's a little bit of everything but enough to be full after and goes so well with a glass of wine. I'll 100% be back as this is such a good deal to me with plenty of parking up front and the sweetest staff.

The iced coffee was absolutely terrrible. The chicken kabobs, hummus, and the pita bread were pretty good. I would maybe come back for that but the service was absolutely terrible.It is so confusing if it is a coffee shop or a restaraunt. So I walked in and they told me to sit down and order. The wifi was not working which they helped me after 10 minutes of me asking. In addition, i was at a networking event here and it was pretty bizarre they insisted they serve us when we could have definitely just helped ourselves. It also took almost 15 minutes to get my iced coffee which was clearly just poured out from a drip coffee jug.The music was also way tooo loud at the place. It was so loud you could not really actually study there. I mean the food itself was decent, but coffee, service, overall vibe was confusing and just not there, I won't return.

I've been to the location in Clarendon, Virginia, and this location is also nice. The interior has a lovely fireplace and beautiful murals on the wall. The service is wonderful. And I even got a little Turkish language lesson. If you read the other reviews it will give you ideas on the ambiance. What I really loved was the chill music. The food was also good. The eggs were bright orange super fresh. However, the next time I go, I'll be sure to mention to the chef to not add any additional salt. I thought it was just my meal since I had smoked salmon however, my husband's meal was also overly salted as well. Happy to see that it's close to a metro stop and in walking distance to it. I'll be back.

I have been coming to East West since it's opened (both in Tyson's and Arlington) and have always had wonderful experiences. The service is excellent, food is delicious, and environment is so warm and inviting. Thank you to Mehmed for spoiling my friends and I! Come here for the best Turkish food in the area.
