“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 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!“

“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!“

“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“

“Hello everyone! My name is Syed Anwar Hussain, and I'm sharing my experience at the best restaurant in the DC area. Today I went to the Bangladesh Embassy, and after I finished my embassy work, I started searching for a good restaurant in that area. Luckily, GPS found the restaurant. We went with my wife and my son, and we ordered three dishes. First, we ordered two dishes. We tasted the first two dishes; they were very delicious. Then we ordered another one. All three dishes were delicious. I really enjoy the delicious food. I have no words to describe how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place.“

“Best thai in town Fairfax city area“

“everything is amazing, the food environment waiters 10/10“

“excellent service highly recomended“

“Really good food you won’t find anywhere else.“

“The food here is really good! Their samosas, falooda, chicken sandwiches, fried chicken, gol gappay, and mithai are all delicious. However, their customer service could use improvement. The food preparation takes quite a while, and when it gets busy, the waiting time becomes very long. Additionally, the kid at the counter needs better training — our order was mixed up due to some confusion, and he wasn’t very flexible in resolving it, so we just decided to leave it as is. If they could improve their hospitality and maybe work on a better location setup, this place could be hugely successful, because the food truly is worth it.“

“Layali Restaurant & Lounge stands out not only for its amazing Middle Eastern cuisine and vibrant atmosphere but also for the genuine hospitality of its owner, Mr. Nasim Sharifi.

Mr. Sharifi’s dedication has turned Layali into one of the best dining and lounge experiences in the area.“

“I’ve only done takeout here but this place is one of my default go-to places. I’m Korean so cannot speak to authenticity but the food is delicious, always hot and overall a great deal compared to the other places in Fairfax. I prefer the bone-in chicken and my husband prefers the lamb kabobs.“

“**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Taste of Pakistan!** Lakshmi Chowk is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Pakistani flavors. From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The decor beautifully reflects Pakistani culture, adding to the overall dining experience. The food was exceptional! The Karahi was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, just like the ones I’ve had in Lahore. The Biryani was aromatic, with tender meat and perfectly balanced spices. The Nihari was a standout—slow-cooked to perfection and bursting with traditional flavors. And let’s not forget the freshly baked Tandoori Roti, which was soft and complemented every dish beautifully. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and even recommended some hidden gems. If you’re looking for an authentic Pakistani dining experience, Lakshmi Chowk is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!“

“Great food. Great service.“

On top of that, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re craving delicious Afghan cuisine!“

“Love that the guy behind the counter felt the need to share some ethnic tv show from his country with the customers. It had women wailing and dancing . Of course he had it turned up at a robust volume so all could enjoy. 🙄
The food is good and decently priced.
The sidewalk outside needs washed. Icky.“

“Pollo Xpress has become our family’s favorite restaurant! I’d argue they might have the best burgers and wings in the area🤤🍔🍗! My son even cleans his plate with their chicken, rice and fries. Now, with a new breakfast all day menu (haven’t tried it yet, but can’t wait) added, I’m sure this place will stay at the top of our list! This high praise from a tough food critic. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed!“

“I love it here. I wish I took pictures. But I was just so happy the entire time I forgot. Everything about Saba is beautiful. The food is amazing. The people are kind and sweet and happy to have you there. Our waiter was Hamza. He was wonderful and helpful and so sweet. Whenever anyone asked me any question all I could say was “I’m so happy”. Because truly, everything was lovely. I cannot wait to come back. I will be telling everyone I know about my very happy experience here.“
