MANASSAS -- A new Mediterranean restaurant called Strofi is coming to Manassas. It will open in the Shops at Signal Hill on Liberia Avenue, across from Aldi.
Strofi owners Lidiia and Benan Aksoylu are a married couple with a desire to bring authentic Mediterranean food to Manassas. Benan is Turkish and explained that gyro, while typically seen in Greek restaurants here in the U.S., has its roots in a popular Turkish street food known as döner. He and Lidiia want to bring that same authentic dish to Manassas.
“I found out that people want to eat gyro. Gyro is what it’s typically called but Middle Eastern/Arabic people call it shawarma, said Benan. “People usually understand gyro because the Greek population in the U.S. is a lot larger, and with it, people know what the gyro is.”Â
