Neyla Mediterranean Bistro

We were a group of 10 adults and 4 kids. Everything was a mess from the get-go. Our table was extremely close to one other table which made moving difficult. Our server took 30 mins to take our first drinks orders, we asked for drinks and appetizers. Appetizers came 10 mins before the drinks, and 2 of the 5 items we ordered were not in stock. The server told us that we could order something else from the menu and it would be complimentary. The appetizers and entrees took another 40 mins extra to come, and the kids were no longer cooperative at that point. When the cheque came, they not only charged us for the not-in-stock items but also the items that server said were complimentary. After 15...

I was visiting Reston on business and my clients recommended Neyla for our lunch. And, I am so glad they did. The atmosphere was great, the service was exellent (my server was Samir who was attentive and responsive to my questions about the restaurant). The appetizer (a sampler of spreads) was fresh and the thin pita breads were warm and crispy. Our main courses were perfectly staggered and delicious. (I had the salmon skewer). I live in Toronto where we have a great choice of Mediterranean restaurants and I was very impressed with Neyla. Well done. I will definitely dine there again when I am back to the Reston Town Center.

In the Georgetown location it was an awesome place, one of our favorites. Good service food ambiance. A clear identity as a Lebanese restaurant. I really wanted to like it in Reston but the service is not great. The food came out not very good and tasted old and over cooked. We never got the pita bread. It was empty so service and food should have been great. It is a sad state for a once great place. It needs to either improve or close. I suggest going back to being a Lebanese restaurant, in this carnation it has no soul and that contributes to the atmosphere. In fact it sums up the whole experience there.

Dinner was great. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend the mixed grill (I think that’s what it was called). $45 or so for four different types of meat.

Best restaurant in Reston. Nothing compares to the chicken or lamb.
