Welcome to Smyrna – your local haven for a delightful fusion of Greek and Turkish flavors, nestled in the heart of Alexandria, VA. Our charming restaurant, wrapped in a serene palette of white and blue, invites you to a cozy and intimate dining experience that feels like a Mediterranean getaway.
At the helm of Smyrna is Chef Zeynep, a culinary visionary whose roots stretch from the ancient city of Smyrna, known today as Izmir in Turkey. This city, steeped in history, has seen the rise and fall of empires such as the Byzantines, Romans, and Ottomans, each leaving behind a rich tapestry of cultural influences. Zeynep's own heritage is as vibrant as her cuisine, with her family hailing from Northern Greece yet she was raised in Turkey.
This blend of cultures and histories is the heartbeat of Smyrna.
Our restaurant concept is a heartfelt tribute to the Aegean kitchen – a testament to the shared history and flavors of Greece and Turkey, neighbors divided only by the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. Smyrna is not just a dining spot; it's a place where the essence of two beautiful countries is interwoven into a tapestry of taste and tradition. Step inside Smyrna, and you'll find yourself surrounded by an ambiance that echoes a typical antique Greek home. Our founder, Zeynep, has infused the restaurant with a warm, respectful, and engaging identity that mirrors her own values and presence. The atmosphere is not just welcoming, but it's also fun – a reflection of the convivial spirit found in the Mediterranean way of life.
As you savor our authentic dishes, you're embarking on a culinary journey that celebrates the unity and diversity of the Aegean heritage. Smyrna stands out as a unique concept, a place where the fusion of Greek and Turkish cuisines is not just served on a plate,
but lived in the stories, the environment, and the very essence of our restaurant.
