NYC's Blazin Chicken & Gyro To Open 2 Locations In Northern Virginia

TYSONS, VA — New York City’s Blazin Chicken & Gyro will soon be opening its first two locations in the DMV, one in Falls Church and the other in Fairfax City.

Known for its hip and vibrant dining experience, Blazin will debut its 1,849-square-foot restaurant in Tysons Station in early December. Then, in early 2025, the second location will open in a 1,815-square-foot space at the Westfair Center in Fairfax City’s Kamp Washington neighborhood.

Blazin’s menu will offer freshly prepared Halal meats, gyros, burgers, “Phillies,” subs, wings, chicken tenders, waffles, crepes, milkshakes, and more, according to a release.

“Blazin Chicken & Gyro has quickly become a popular fast casual restaurant in New York City,” said Waseem Rana, Blazin owner. “Now that it is expanding outside the New York Tri-state area, I’m excited to bring this new dining concept to the Washington, D.C. region and partner with a commercial real estate leader like Federal Realty.”

A grand opening celebration at Tysons Station is scheduled for early December. Blazin will provide complimentary food, juices, milkshakes and more to customers.

“We are thrilled to welcome Blazin Chicken & Gyro to Tysons Station and Westfair,” said Deirdre Johnson, senior vice president of asset management at Federal. “Blazin’s decision to enter the DMV market through two of Federal’s properties highlights the strong demographics and unparalleled locations of our centers. We are committed to bringing best-in-class and first-to-market operators to our communities, and Blazin’s bold flavors and creative menu will provide an exciting new dining experience for our customers.”

The hours of operation for both new Blazin restaurants will be Sunday-Wednesday: 10:30 a.m.-3 a.m. and Thursday-Saturday: 10:30 a.m. – 4 a.m.
