“There are very few Indian breakfast places open in the area. Great service and fantastic breakfast. Absolutely recommend this place!”
““Scaloppine di Vitello Porcini” — top notch. Friendly staff, good food, even the pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and delicious!”
“Fantastic food, with great service! Tucked away from the main roads it is not very visible. Definitely worth a visit! The staff are very attentive and kind. We will keep going back!”
“Our visit tonight was absolutely wonderful. Starting from the arrival where they held the door for us and welcomed us in. Our server Edson, was so pleasant and charming as well as very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and even wished me a happy early birthday when we were leaving. The food was amazing and came out quickly. That was nice since we were so hungry. We also had a visit from the manager Hector and he also wished me an early happy birthday and made sure that if there was anything we needed, not to hesitate to ask. The staff at this location are fantastic, we will absolutely will be back to visit again! Thank you for making my birthday weekend special!”
“Found this Sushi restaurant in Herndon and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few special rolls and the Caterpillar was delicious. Other rolls were good too. We also had a Ramen noodle bowl which was plentiful and fresh tasting. All in all, would recommend and would visit again!”

“My wife and I love Indian food. We go to a place, try it, and decide whether to come back. Well, we have a new favorite.
Lunch last week at TriState was sublime. We had a biryani, and I still cannot quite find the words to describe the rice. It was tender and a tiny bit chewy, in a great way. It was steamy but light and fluffy. The meat was perfect and mixed through the dish. So, yes, we will return. I have my eye on daal makhani, that spicy buttery bean and lentils dish. Can't wait to try their version. Our friend had peppery chicken--so good! Suggest you go with friends and share so you can try more stuff at the table.”

“Superb authentic Indian food. The real taste of south Indian cuisines, well cooked and every item on the Buffet was tasty. The staff greet you with a smile and really take care of your choice of food and also give their suggestions to try other dishes too. They had mild, medium and high spicy foods displayed in the buffet. The atmosphere was very nice, clean and looked very hygienic. I would highly recommend this restaurant, a must try, if you like Indian food. I will certainly go there again. Thanks a million, Keep it up.”

“I've driven by the Mission BBQ on Semoran Avenue in Orlando plenty of times but never stopped to try their food. Well, 800 miles away, there's a Mission BBQ right next to my hotel in Virginia. So, I asked myself... why not? Could this be a sign I should give them a try?
I walked in, and the first thing you notice is all the military and first responder memorabilia everywhere, which they support through fundraisers. Great ambiance, and the staff seemed to really love what they do.
I went with the three-meat plate with mac and cheese and baked beans. I loved the option to choose which part of the brisket you prefer...in my case, the point. Super moist and packed with flavor. I also added the jalapeño sausage, and wow... they were incredible! So juicy and flavorful. The ribs were excellent too, with a perfect smoky flavor.
The mac and cheese was perfect, and the beans were great as well. Overall, it was an amazing meal. I can't wait to try the one on Semoran to see if the food is consistent”
“TGI Fridays has an event ladies night every Thursdays.. happy hour 3 to 9pm”

“This is best chaat I have had in the U.S. Tastes like home except better because you get to relax and enjoy it in a fun atmosphere while doing nothing but feasting !! They even have a carrom board and a ping pong table, and lots of fun board games in a special “Time Pass” area. If you love good food, you have to stop by !!! They can adjust the spice level to your liking and they have a huge menu with so many different flavor profiles offered. The food is made with love & truly feeds the Soul, I can’t wait to visit again! ❤️🤤”
“This is a true gem located in historic Herndon. The food was fantastic, the ambience lovely and serene, the prices very reasonable. The owners (aka host/server/chef/sommelier) are seasoned, humble, and extremely talented. These folks owned the Russia House and decided to try their hand at French Fare. We'll be back soon. "Merci beaucoup" to the Darugars!”
“I am so happy to discover GreenFare Organic Cafe in Herndon, VA! Their food is delicious and healthy. I highly recommend the mushroom enchilada and pumpkin soup! If you are looking to treat your body well without compromising taste, I highly recommend you check it out!”
“Their pizzas are incredible, and the Greek and Italian dishes never disappoint. Even the salads, starters, and hotdogs are solid. The restaurant manager Fadi and Henry are super friendly. I have been coming here at least once a week, and I love it. Definitely one of the best spots in the area :)”
“We recently picked up dinner from this Indian restaurant, and it was a great choice! We ordered a chicken curry dish, goat dum biryani, and chili gobi, and each dish was delicious!
The chicken curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced—just the right amount of heat. The goat dum biryani was aromatic and tender, with the perfect balance of spices and herbs. But the standout for me was definitely the chili gobi. The crispy cauliflower had an incredible depth of flavor, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.
Overall, everything was delicious, and I will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend the chili gobi if you're into a bit of heat.”
“Nice food , Good customer service but ..... Pricy and 20% Dine In service charges (This needs to be put at Display just like 20% discount has been put for catering services at the door) ... it's on menu card though It isn't really a big deal but one must know before walking in what he / she is going to pay I'll still recommend it if one is craving for the taste of street food in Pakistan”
“Had a great time dining at Kumo Sushi! I tried the ramen and it was comforting, flavorful, and well-prepared — a really satisfying bowl. But the real star here is the sushi — absolutely fantastic! Fresh, well-crafted, and full of flavor.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it truly makes the whole experience even better. If you’re someone who loves good sushi or wants to try it for the first time, Kumo Sushi is definitely worth a visit. Truly an experience you’ll enjoy!”
“The inside is not that great looking, but that's not why you'd come. The food and the service are amazing. I ordered beef Lo Mein, and got a huge plate of food. Also had fried dumplings and some chicken and broccoli. The portions were large, the service was really, and the food came out quick. Will definitely be going back!”
“We have been dining here for over 2 decades and have never had a bad dish. Nu Nu's level of hospitality is off the charts. The staff is friendly. The place is exceptionally clean. Everything here is top shelf.”
“Exelent food and service I'll give them 5 stars I strong recommend”

“5* (Only because people tend to notice positive reviews more)
Now, coming to the experience at this store:
One major issue I observed was with the restroom access. The restroom requires an access button to be pressed by an employee every time someone wants to use it. I found this quite inconvenient, especially when I saw multiple people having to walk back to the billing counter just to ask for access. This kind of setup feels unnecessary and uncomfortable.
The overall service felt quite dry—there were no smiles, no warm greetings, and no positive energy from the staff. It gave off a very indifferent vibe.
Additionally, I noticed that all the electrical switches around the store were blocked or inaccessible. It’s a small detail, but it adds to a sense of control that doesn't feel customer-friendly.
Overall, this store gave off a very restrictive and controlling atmosphere. It lacks the welcoming, open feel that you'd hope for as a customer.
I would suggest Panera Bread. I have visited lot of stores and found them very customer friendly and great environment to have food,meetings,chilling.”

“Visited the newly opened Tapioca Express in Herndon today. Enjoyed their boba and was surprised they had so many snack options!! Favorites were the shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce and the fried string beans. They didn’t seem very fried which is good in my book. Nicely seasoned too. Their crispy chicken was also good we were able to choose the spice level and I went with medium which was perfect. The chichi fries were great… love the chichi sauce that comes with it! As for drinks I loved the Mangonada. It was so beautiful and delicious for how hot and humid it was outside. Also enjoyed the honeydew snow bubble and combination yogurt frost which tasted similar to a Greek yogurt parfait with fruit. The staff was very friendly, the space is cute but small more of a to-go and enjoy outside type of place. They do however have a high top table if you’re able to snag it! Definitely coming back to try more of their menu soon!”
“This time we went with family members. We tried different varieties. We all enjoyed revert items ordered. Food was delicious , fresh, and tasty. The service was even better. Our server Rakesh was very pleasant, helpful. Made us feel like we are at home. Iwe will go back with more family members. I recommend this place to everyone who enjoy vegetarian meals.”
“Me and my husband had a layover flight. So we wanted to get some food around the area. I’m a little open to trying something new but my boyfriend is a chef and can be very picky but we loved the food. It was so delicious and the portion size is great for the price. I hope we can return soon just to get another taste of this delicious food.”
“LOVED Madina Pollo Reina! We got the chicken kabobs and they were soooo delicious! All of our sides were really tasty, too! We also got vegetable samosas which were perfectly fried! The spicy green sauce with the samosas was great! Definitely ordering from there again!!!! 😋”
“For several years, the pizzas from Great Falls Deli Italiano were wonderful. Then the problems started - always something unsatisfactory with every order. And the pizza toppings were extremely skimpy. So we stopped ordering from them. Yesterday we decided to give them another try. Glad we did - the Quattro Formaggi pizza and the big steak sub were both delicious. Of course, based on previous experiences with skimpy toppings, I paid for extra amounts of each of the cheeses on the pizza. Do not know what it would be like without paying for extra amounts of toppings.”
“This is probably the best deli in the area and definitely the best one in Herndon. I don't have any pictures because my wife and I devoured our sandwiches.
I highly recommend the Mad Italian and the Mafioso. The meat and cheese portions are generous. Service was fast and welcoming. The interior decor feels like a bodega and has a cute charm to it.
A 12 inch is about 16 bucks but realistically you can make 2-3 meals out of it. There is a $1 fee to pay with a card so bring some cash.
I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the sandwiches.”
“We came here from Pennsylvania, as a weekend getaway since we couldn’t take a big vacation this year. We came here for supper and karaoke. Carlos was our server and was SUPER nice and had a great sense of humor. Greg the DJ for karaoke was SO nice and hyped everyone up. They wanted us to come back. Everyone running the facility was SO nice and all the patrons were really nice as well. We really appreciate the service being outsiders and how kind everyone was. Even people I didn’t know would talk to my fiancé and I and had kind words. ❤️”
“My family and I have been going to Euro Bistro since they opened and have never had anything but excellent food and service. It's our favorite restaurant by far.”

“They are just down the road but always have my food ready before I get there ,Also great portions and on time and very nice people inside probably the best location in the Chantilly/fairfax area if u want it done right”
“It's very hard to not love this place. The portions are generous ⬆️, the service is good, the prices 💰 are reasonable, and most importantly, the food is SPECTACULAR!!! One of the best spicy fried chicken 🐔 sandwiches 🥪 I've ever had. And trust me, the heat 🌶️ really delivers if you get one of the higher spice levels. You need to give this place a try!!”
“love this place. the decor is simple but very nice atmosphere. we ordered the pho and ramen and they were very good. the broth is yummy. the is a lot of chicken in the ramen. the service was quick and friendly. there was a steady stream of take out orders. definitely returning.”
“Pinch & Peck came through for my daughter’s graduation party. Cookies looked and tasted delicious. They were the first to go, thank goodness I snuck 1 to save for later. I highly recommend Pinch & Peck. Gave them my ideas and we were able to execute it. Will use them again for future events.”
“My fiancée and I pre-ordered online as we were returning to Herndon. When we arrived, the restaurant had received our order but they hadn’t been notified about it, so they said it would be just a few minutes. The owner was extremely apologetic and offered us a complimentary baklava as an apologetic gesture. As the kitchen prepared our order, we chatted the the owner (Sarfraz) and he was extremely pleasant. We tried the hummus, tzatziki, stuffed grape leaves, gyro sandwich and chicken souvlaki sandwich. Everything was well seasoned, fresh tasting (even at 8pm), and reasonably priced. Definitely cannot wait to go back and try more - esp. since we live less than a mile away…dangerous! They’re admittedly still getting their feet under them as they JUST opened, but highly recommend giving this place a shot!”
“We went here to have Afghan food on our the way to the airport. We had Kadoo, lamb bowl, chicken wrap, and Kabuli palau. The food was amazing and the service was also very good. We didn't take any photos because we ate it quickly. Highly recommend if you're in the area.”
“This place was a vegetarian delight! I had cauliflower tacos with salad a verde and sprouted grain tortillas and it was incredible. I loved the flavor of the cauliflower and chikpea filling plus the spicy salsa verde was killer. I also had the chill juice drink and it was super flavorful and tasty! Definitely git this place up and then grab some great organic snacks at MOMs”
“very great service and food! wish they had coconut water... but very delicious”
“Had a great time dining at Kumo Sushi! I tried the ramen and it was comforting, flavorful, and well-prepared — a really satisfying bowl. But the real star here is the sushi — absolutely fantastic! Fresh, well-crafted, and full of flavor.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it truly makes the whole experience even better. If you’re someone who loves good sushi or wants to try it for the first time, Kumo Sushi is definitely worth a visit. Truly an experience you’ll enjoy!”

“Took my kiddo there last night and as soon as we tried it, we knew this is our new favorite local ice cream! Absolutely delicious, perfectly creamy and not too sweet. And then, the cherry on top: we ordered two more cups to take home to the rest of the family and we noticed that one came out with a much smaller scoop than the other. Wasn’t going to say anything about it (the scoops are very generous to begin with), but then out of nowhere a couple comes over and tells us they are going to get us an extra scoop. And within seconds, they did! We were too shocked to talk with them more but a little sleuthing online when we got home revealed they were the owners! This act of generosity and customer service made a big impact on my kiddo (and me) and cemented this place as our new favorite! Can’t wait to go back!!”
“Super Pho in Herndon, VA, hands down, has the best PHO in the Northern VA area! The summer rolls w/ peanut sauce are fresh and always hit the spot. The PHO tastes so much better than any PHO I've ever tasted in the NOVA, DC, or MD. The serving sizes never leave you hungry, and the price leaves you happy to be able to come back, again & again. The Thai Tea is worth a try, and the service is always fast and friendly. I highly recommend everyone try it so they can see why we should continue to support businesses like this. I truly can't wait for Super Pho to open back up... I'm going through Super Pho withdrawals! Lol”
“I got Marco’s pizza last night and it exceeded my expectations! I ordered ahead of time and it was ready literally like 2 minutes before that time so I had no wait when I went to pick it up and it was still hot. I also really appreciate the thick crust option as someone who really likes crust. The triple pepperoni was really good. It wasn’t too much pepperoni as I had feared. I’m definitely going to be replacing my Domino’s trips with Marco’s in the future.”
“We had the California Cob Sandwich 🥪 . It was delicious 😋. I was surprised to see a basket 🧺 way back in the corner for those less fortunate to take a loaf of bread 🥖 if you yourself are in hard times or even if you know someone, but it was empty . Although I’m not sure exactly how many loaves go into this basket nor when they bread 🍞 gets placed . My guess is at the end of the day or possibly in the morning . It would be nice to know .”
“We have a lunch date every other Tuesday when our house cleaners come. We hadn't been here, and saw it had good ratings. It's a modest establishment, dated but clean. I had a Reuben, and my wife had chicken salad on a sub roll with lettuce and onion. Most patrons seemed happy and familiar, likely coming from the surrounding offices. The owners welcomed and checked on us, a nice touch. My sandwich was larger than expected, and hers was too. She would've liked a little salt and tarragon, but didn't ask for either. No complaints.”
“This place is great!! I’ve ordered pickup and delivery multiple times and the food is always great no matter what I order. The food is always fresh and always hot if need be. Not to mention the staff is kind and are super efficient. Every time I walk in for pickup my order is already done and I walk out within two minutes. I seriously recommend this place to anyone. Some of the best food you can get if you live in Dulles Station.”
“Had a wonderful dinner with friends here. The menu has a great selection. The food we ordered were all delicious. We had the scallops, meatballs and crab dip for appetizers. Lamb chops, crab cakes and ribeye for main course. Mango sorbet and cappuccino creme brûlée for dessert. We liked all of it except the risotto that accompanied the lamb chop. Our wonderful server was fantastic. I give this restaurant 5 stars for quality of food, price and service.”

“Had the best Cuban Sandwich ever, Khalysha is awesome - will be back again - thank you!!!”
“Great food and beer, but the coffee shop that is supposed to open 8am doesn’t open sometimes despite the webpage and doors saying 8am”
“Front desk good customer services only needs to explained wich card is better to buy for benefit for our child spend les money”
