“The coffee was incredible. My friends and I loved the relaxed atmosphere. Next time we will also try the food.”

“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.”

““Scaloppine di Vitello Porcini” — top notch. Friendly staff, good food, even the pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and delicious!”

“There are very few Indian breakfast places open in the area. Great service and fantastic breakfast. Absolutely recommend this place!”

“We are fortunate to have a number of great Ethiopian restaurants in the DC area, and this one deserves a call out for the great variety of vegan options. Nice interior and very friendly staff. Our food was out in moments. BONUS Right next door is a vegan ice cream shop (Creme de la Crop). See reviews here on Happy Cow. We had the fabulous 10 item vegan sampler for dinner, and then went next door and got ice cream. THURS: 11-5PM FRI: 12-6PM SAT: 11-5PM SUN: 11-5PM MON-WED: CLOSED Updated from previous review on 2026-03-21”

“Absolutely Love Outback Steak House! They Always get our order filled exactly with lots of changes and substitutions. Steaks are actually cooked rare and medium well. Staff is Very helpful and care about the customers.”

“Best Ramen and Rice Bowls in town!!!! They are alway so nice and the place is always clean. FYI, in keeping with a proper Ramen establishment, it is small with limited seating. If you have to wait, it is well worth the wait.”

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!”

“I had proper hyderbadi biryani after a long time. Felt actual Indian spice and flavours. The best thing is the ambiance. If are you going for dining experience to an Actual Indian restaurant. Definitely visit.”

“OMG!! Food was soooo good. Got the 3-meat platter (pause) and The service TOP is tier. Everyone friendly and Touwana gave great suggestions. They def showed love and they love Veterans. Def gonna come back.”

“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.”

“Have enjoyed the delicious dishes for several years. Whenever son from CA and son from TN come to visit they always want to return to Charcoal Kabob again. We miss seeing your family!”

“recently i attended a wedding that was catered by Anatolian bistro. the food was wonderful! very traditional Turkish options. highly recommend for dining or catering. thank you - dj Theo”

“My husband and I revisited this wonderful restaurant last night and enjoyed Delicious meals. I had scallops, they were large and cooked to perfection. My husband enjoyed steak au poive, juicy and perfectly cooked.
The restaurant itself is lovely, there is Beautiful art work on all the walls, I walked around to get a closer look.
The wonderful owners are SO lovely and gracious.
Run, don’t walk, for a delicious experience!”

“Chaatwala is hands down one of the best spots in Herndon for authentic Indian food! The chaats are amazing – super fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. The dosas are perfectly crispy, and the curries are rich and delicious. The staff is really friendly, service is quick, and the portions are generous. You can tell they put a lot of care into the food and it shows in every bite. If you’re looking for great Indian street food and comfort dishes in Northern Virginia, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! Maja aa gaya!!!”

“Exelent food and service I'll give them 5 stars I strong recommend”

“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. ❤️”

“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!”

“Great venue and great staff and food.”

“Very lucky to have this gem in Franklin Farm shopping center. Very friendly staff and the food is wonderful. Their egg rolls are the best I’ve had. It’s a little pricy so I suggest getting a lunch special.”

“👎👎👎👎👎😤👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎”

“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”

“The food was very delicious and affordable for the big portion size. The customer service was great! Highly recommend trying this place! I visited their Fairfax location”

“Our experience was remarkable! Friendly customer service and delicious food! The Bombay garlic pizza was especially very tasty. Can’t wait to go again and try more options! It’s definitely a twist on your classics!”

“Went there today with my daughter. Ordered Butter Chicken. Well it did not look like Butter Chicken, nor did it taste like Butter Chicken. Tasted and smelled like pieces of chicken dropped in the Chhole curry. 🤔”

“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 the best Cuban Sandwich ever, Khalysha is awesome - will be back again - thank you!!!”

“Very busy location serving a demanding group of customers per my perception as a regular customer, and the staff always trying to do their best. Kudos to them!!!”

“Honestly, none of it's food.. unless you're in a rush or super hungry and need something fast.”

“Ate here yesterday for the first time. Delicious! My wife and I are excited to find an Indian restaurant nearby we both love.

We got lunch portions of the chicken chettinad and chicken kolhapuri. Hard to say which was better as they were both delicious. If you love spicy dishes these will hit your taste without being overpowering (we love spice and found the spice level around a medium). Amazing portions for the lunch dishes: you get a lot for a cool twelve bucks.

We also tried dahi puri for the first time and can highly recommend; the right blend of tartness and sweetness to offset the main dishes.

Only picked up but both workers--an older man and woman (owners, maybe?)--were very sweet and polite. The inside is clean and has the feel of a high-end hole-in-the-wall (if that makes sense).”

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!”

“I got the chicken over rice with lettuce, tomato, corn, and cheese on the side. It was like $15 with a drink. Tasted great and it was a decent amount of food ngl. Surprisingly good amount of seating in the inside. The lady serving was very friendly and attentive. Will be coming back”

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...”

“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.”

“Pizza is very good, reasonably priced. they sell by the slice and offer meal deals. Definitely recommend”

“TGI Fridays has an event ladies night every Thursdays.. happy hour 3 to 9pm”

“High quality, tasty , fresh, and hot. Kids like it more.”

“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!!!! 😋”

“Excellent food, service and family!💙”

“We love this place! Great food! Great service! Wonderful hangout even during Covid!”

“The food was great! Second time dining here and it definitely won’t be my last! 👌”

“best burger in town!! open another location in Burke, pleaseeeee”

“I love this tropical smoothie! This is the best one out of the few in the area - the staff is awesome, the store has a nice layout and is always clean - the employees do everything right, even when super busy. Tropical smoothie itself is the best in general, though; I recommend the kiwi quencher!!”

“Found Weird Brothers Coffee on a work trip. Coffee, food and service all fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“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 family had a lovely vegan veggie plate dinner. We shared three veggie plates between six people, and that was plenty of food. The injera was cooked perfectly for scooping. The greens and lentils were flavorfully seasoned. Dinner was a great value with plenty of delicious food for the price. Tensu will soon need to expand their dining area, because the food and service are amazing!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We went and really enjoyed the food…”

“Withv over Cyop bie b bi J m y or don’t ge”

“I came across this spot while looking for something quick but ended up finding one of the best meals I have had in a while. The chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch with juicy meat inside and a creamy sauce that tied it all together. Every bite felt balanced and full of flavor, not heavy or greasy like most places.

Then came the waffle fries. They were golden, crisp, and lightly seasoned with a flavor that actually stood out on its own. Dipped into that house sauce, they were addicting. You could tell everything was cooked fresh and served with care.

The staff made the visit even better with their easygoing attitude and quick service despite the lunch rush. It is rare to find food that feels homemade and comforting yet still fits perfectly for a casual meal out. I will definitely be stopping by again soon to try more from the menu.”

“Great experience, even if you have never eaten in Germany. Feels like a family place, so welcoming. Been a customer for years, never disappointed. Top shelf food quality and presentation. Should go.”

“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 .”

“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.”

“Excellent food. The taste and freshness surprises you. Each dish we ordered unique in its elegance and flavor.”

“I am writing this review because beside the flavorful chicken they serve, I have to say I greatly appreciate the fact that they use cardboard containers instead of the styrofoam most places use.”

“their Thai chicken rice and Thai milk tea are so goooooood. amazing”

“Nice menu for “fast casual” with some flair. The fresh ginger and red chili oil are nice condiments for the noodles. Loved Thai iced tea. So much more I’d like to try.”

“Great Pizza! Nice customer service!”

“Authentic Napoletana pizz with fresh quality ingredients. Loved the burrata salad which is definitely for at least 2-3 people. The music is great to add to the mood and the owners are so friendly. My new favorite place!”

“Great food. Great service & atmosphere. Lumpia was excellent. Great to have this restaurant in our community.”

“Tasty chicken kabob salad...planning to lose weight not taste of food....”

“If you want a real Italian sub then this is the place to go. This is one of our absolute favorite spots and we haven’t been let down yet. The Mad Italian is our go-to but you could get any sub and enjoy. Note: The Mad Italian is a huge sub, so it’s big enough to share with another person.”

“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”

“Good is always good and great service”

“Simplemente delicioso!!!!!!”

“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”

“Egg Karne is amazing. The silog breakfast bowl is perfectly done! juicy, flavorful pork belly, runny eggs, and rice that ties it all together. So comforting and delicious 😋”

“Breakers Sky Lounge is a great spot if you’re looking for a fun night out without the chaos. There’s plenty of pool tables, so you’re not stuck waiting forever, and the vibe is laid-back but still lively. The karaoke setup is a big highlight, the sound system is really good, and it actually feels like a stage, not an afterthought.
The food surprised me in a good way, especially the wings and pizza, and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Staff was friendly and kept things moving, even when it was busy. Overall, it’s a solid place to hang out with friends, play pool, grab food, and stay out late without feeling overwhelmed.”

“Forgot to take pictures before devouring the food. The banh mi thit nuong was delicious! Lots of meat and flavor. Bread was crispy and airy. The shredded daikon and carrot was a bit thick but it was delicious. We also got the BV4 Vietnamese coffee, tasted very authentic and got that strong kick to it. Overall, this place tastes more authentic then pho duong. Well definitely be back to try other things on their menu. Very friendly service, the lady that served us was really sweet.”

“Came in and decided to try the Carne Asada. I was not only surprised by the portion size but also the flavor! It was very well seasoned and tender, everything you could ask for. Service was great, highly recommend.”

“One of the best spots in Herndon for a quick lunch. Their tacos are delicious and their corn tortillas are next-level. They also make sandwiches, but don't sleep on the Toriz Tacos.”

“Family atmosphere and great food”

“Who is that guy in the smoking truck in the Reston Park and Ride lot? It's Uncle Fred. I drove by him way too many times before I stopped in and now I can't stay away. I forgive myself for not getting on board sooner. Give Uncle Fred a try. I know you'll be a fan like me.”

“i went the store ,the manager greeted me and offer the deal .the price was good ,very delicious food.”

“I recently had both breakfast and lunch at this brand new deli-catering restaurant at 205 Van Buren Street in the Atrium building. They did a fantastic catering event for the Dulles Regional Chamber last week.”

“This place has it all! Real authentic Chaat food, inviting atmosphere and professionalism by all workers. The owner spends time with his guests and is always going above & beyond to create a remarkable dining experience. I enjoyed the Dahi Bhalla & Gajar Halwa and will definitely be returning until I have enjoyed EVERYTHING on the menu! HIGHLY recommend Chaatwala.”

“Jodhpur restaurant serves an excellent authentic food popular in Rajasthan, UP and New Delhi. The owners are very friendly and accommodating to your special needs. We catered their Rajasthani Dal, Baati, Churma special dishes for our guests in October 2022. it was a super hit. Everybody loved the food. We have also tried other varieties. The food, service, ambience, cleanliness and quality - all are excellent.”

“I had an outstanding experience thanks to Ram, the service representative at Paradise Biryani Point. From the moment I walked in, Ram greeted me with genuine warmth and professionalism. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect—from guiding me through the menu to checking in at just the right times without being intrusive.”

“The food at the restaurant is amazing, and Zuha at the reception and hostess truly enhances the experience with her warm and professional service. While the ambiance could benefit from a refresh, the overall dining experience remains exceptional thanks to the delicious dishes and excellent hospitality.”

“Pizza is very good, reasonably priced. they sell by the slice and offer meal deals. Definitely recommend”

“Me and my family (5 total) ate dinner here and was a amazing experience for a great price around 200 for all of us combined. Sushi was fresh , waiters were very nice and all friendly and constantly not having you wait for too long just a very clean restaurant I will be coming back for sure !!!!!”

“Smash burger and fries were amazing! Would definitely eat here again when in town.”

“Came here the other day from a recommendation and I’m happy I did. The owners are nice and the drink was so good. See you guys soon”

“Sally was absolutely a delight and helped us with ordering, was very attentive, and had a huge smile on her face the whole evening - not just with us but with all her tables”

“I visited this spot that opened just last December, and it was impressively clean and welcoming. Since it’s both a beer pub and a restaurant, you get the best of both worlds — the lively pub atmosphere and well‑made restaurant dishes.

Thanks to our friendly server, Brianna, we tried a sampler with four different beers along with some delicious food. We had a great time and really enjoyed the overall experience.”

“20150704 Stopped by and trying 2 different pastries. Thank goodness I got 2! Again, 1 wasn't enough. 😋 Got another loaf of raisin bread. 😋
20250619 Dangerous....ly delicious! Oh my. Can't eat just 1 pastry! I got 2 pastries thinking I will eat 1 when I get home, and another later. I ate both and a slice of raisin breaf, and all were delicious. I really like the coconut cream croissant and it has a real nice coconut aroma in the taste. The pastries are very light and fluffy, definitely need to eat at least 2 to be satisfied. The loaf of raisin bread is good, not too sweet. The mango lemonade is so good. The mango nectar has nice mango flavor, reminds me of the mango nectar sold at Costco. The items added up fast! $25. The Caucasian employee who took my order was very polite and helpful. Service was a bit slow for the drinks. I wanted longer than expected because they employees were moving a bit slow comparing to Starbucks.”

“I have ordered online only and every time food has been on point. Maybe bc it's new they have some small hiccups but so far so good. I have ordered twice and will be ordering again over Christmas break. Best of luck”

“Neha was the best waitress, very fast and provided very good service. Food was amazing 👏 and delicious. Was hoping briyani being served in clay pot but was not. Bartender needs to improve in making drinks as they were not good, didn't help staff.”

“Best food you can eat late night !!

My go to picks are Nalli Gosh Biryani and Raju Gari Biryani

I recommend this for Good portion, taste and price too”
