They gave us more than enough condiments and food was hot and ready for pickup at the exact time mentioned. Would definitely recommend!”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Brazza Steaks, the Venezuelan restaurant. Everything about this place was amazing. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at home. Carlos, the owner, took the time to sit down and chat with us. His passion for the food and his friendliness made the experience even more special. The server was awesome, offering fantastic recommendations that truly enhanced our meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish bursting with authentic Venezuelan flavors. I can't recommend Brazza Steaks enough; it's a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful meal for a great price!”

“We love coldspoon! It is our neighborhood coffee shop- everyone is so friendly and the quality is great. The fig and seed yogurt is our go to order.”

“I wanted to share my positive experience with the food and service during my recent visit. However, I was disappointed to learn that filling a growler with root beer was deemed "physically impossible". I hope this can be reconsidered in the future.”

“A great place to chill, relax, have great food and drink with an upbeat atmosphere.”

“My first time here. The atmosphere was great, parking was readily available on the street and lot, and the staff was very attentive.”

“Visited this place recently last week very cool place for dancing and dining they have hookah also. I had nice chicken sukha recommend by the manager Pete. Nice bar good ambience. Good place for big parties highly recommend!”

“First time i ordered from Punjabi Junction, so wanted to try a variety of dishes. food was excellent, just 1 thing that i was disappointed with, the onions with chole bhature were pink but tasted like recently wasted, so very plain and bland. I had also done a side of onion and pickle, and it was the same washed pickle with nimmbo achaar on top. i would've liked it to be tossed so its flavorful bit it wasn't. felt like a waste of money. it definitely impacted the experience of the dishes.

The food overall was good, a lot of chole to go with bhature, goat curry was excellent, khadai chicken was good, naan options were good, samosa chat was good as well, but OMG the Gajar Halwa so was sooo good. i ordered the dishes indian hot, didn't connect in my brain that it might be actually hot, so the gajar halwa really tasted amazing.”

“We dined here last summer - drove from Maryland. Great South Indian food is worth a drive! I'm familiar with South Indian food from the Seattle area, where we live, but Agni also had some unique dishes and dishes that were particularly well done. I hope we can come back sometime.”

“I love their patio dining. I think their steak fajitas are some of the best flavored fajitas. Wash it all down with a tasty Paloma Rita.”

“Delious tiki cholay, sag paneer”

“Great atmosphere with above average food and a full bar. The service was very friendly and fast. Order was accurate as well. Food is a bit sweet, even the spiciest option but was still very tasty. The lack of spiciness is the only reason I only give them four stars.”

“Very friendly, good customer service 👍 👌”

“Was recently invited there for an iftaar and had an outstanding experience. The service, the food, the decor, the atmosphere was all top of the line. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.”

“Everything is so good but my favorite is the Greek salad and house dressing.”

“Ordered one order of orange chicken and they delivered it to me in under 10 minutes. The fried rice is fresh the vegetables tasted fresh. The chicken mostly white meat. I can tell they use clean oil when cooking the rice. The food tastes very good.”

“Nectar Cocktail Bar... Where do I begin.

This is going to be a 2-Way review (stay tuned for the Crooked Run review!), so bear with the lengthyness of this one.

To keep it straight:

-Service is always a 10/10. If you know what you want, you're getting it. Period, the end. Do your own research and look at the menus, my friends. If you have a specific request, bartenders at Nectar are ALWAYS more than welcome to accommodate the highest standard possible.

-Atmosphere - This here is the big one. I'm a frequent flier of the Friday night Karaoke sessions hosted by On Point Entertainment (@onpointentertainmentva for my Instagram-savvy ones!), and let me tell you, it is ALWAYS a hit. This is the kind of Friday night that you can always count on to start your weekend off on the most REFRESHING foot! It's welcoming, it's warm, and the CROWD always leaves you yearning for more from our local vocal enthusiasts! Steve and Lucy are some of the GREATEST hosts of these Friday night sessions, and it's an absolute blessing to have them to constantly fuel my lively social endeavors.

Nectar Cocktail Bar is perfect if you're looking for something refreshing, something new, something reliable, something welcome, and ALWAYS something to give you reason to make your way back into this perfect little strip of eats, drinks, and memories.”

“Goood Pakistani food. Has become a bit pricey post Covid.”

“I love this Chinese restaurant, but their website to place the order is not safe. This is my third time to order there and stole my credit card info. Becareful for that! Need to check on that! I wont use their website anymore.”

“This is perhaps my favorite casual restaurant in the area. The food is always excellent, prepared freshly, and the servers are always very kind and attentive. Prices are very reasonable, and that allows me to always tip very generously. I’ve never waited for a table for more than five minutes. The staff here is very organized and it’s clear that the manager of this establishment has a good relationship with all of his employees.”

“Clean nice and quick BUT !! And I speak on early morning around 530-6 am there’s a specific manager that needs fired every time she’s there it’s best you leave they’ll serve you old hard bagels and or even the steak will be overcooked and hard/dried up and this ain’t cheap like and when you say anything to her she yells back at you like having a complain about your food or drinks NOT Allowed and she knows who she is so go ahead and LIE I got it on all on video!! Today she tried to give me a lager orange HICI and it was all watered down. It to mention it was a quarter missing the employee in the window refused her demand as asked if I’d like something else !! I got no clue how they hire people to manage like this but it’s amazing when other managers are on duty place is great”

“Just stopped, it is 9pm on 6/28/24 and we did not catch the name of the 2 men working but they gave the best customers service I have ever had at a McDonald's. Food was hot and fresh. Thank you both! I feel it is important they get the registration they deserve even though we do not know their names.”

“The service is one of the fastest I have ever experienced and the food in this store is always fresh and delicious. The employees are very friendly and the manager staff…”

“Wonderful little spot! Food was great, staff was so friendly and accommodating! I absolutely loved the happy atmosphere, you can certainly tell that everyone enjoys what they do and their customers! We will definitely be back when in the area!”

“Love the food and outdoor seating. Great for get together and family meals.”

“One of my top 3 pork sandwiches ever. Great quick staff and good portions. Will be back soon.”

“Yes Yen ta Four noodles is good & rice dish is also good but don’t look for service this restaurant is like self-service order @ the counter pay then wait for your foods then go eat @ the tables”

“This is one of the best restaurants in Loudoun County, hands down. I get a new appetizer every time I go, and each time I am thoroughly impressed at the quality of flavor and ingredients. The malai kofta and paneer lababdar are heavenly, a must try. We have begun to go so regularly that the staff recognize us immediately, place us at our favorite table, and remember details of food allergies and are highly accommodating. The owner is incredibly kind and greets all of his customers, the wait staff is super attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed. This is a must-stop for Hindustani food in the area.”

“They are wonderful hosts of for our Free Coffee Fridays with Fraud Fighters events!”

“Awesome food, great specials menu (check it out as you walk through the door!) very friendly staff. Great location overall!”

“OMG! Where do I start...From the unassuming quaint colonial home to the wonderful welcoming of Mona herself. You will fall in love with Mona and this place immediately! It's just like walking into your own Grandma's home and Mona makes you feel that way too! We were traveling from out of town to a customer's location near here and were looking for a different dining experience. Boy, Mona did not disappoint! We ordered Baba Ganouj, Beef Shwarma and Lamb with Rice. For dessert we had Rice Pudding and Knafe Bel Jibne. The smoke on the pitas and Baba Ganouj was amazing and I don't like smoke on ANYTHING! I don't care for lamb but tried my business partner's meal and LOVED IT! Mona has definitely won me over hands down! The Shwarma was like nothing I have ever had before. And as a BIG pickle lover, this was a hit! The Rice Pudding was very delicate and a perfect ending to a perfect meal. We ordered the Knafe Bel Jibne as we were very curious. It is a warm sweet treat with a very slight hint of savory which comes from the pistachios - YUM! Mona cooks everything herself to order with LOVE! This is such an AMAZING AND UNIQUE dining experience and hidden GEM! This place is a MUST! When you go there, tell Mona that Kat and Rob sent you!”

“Absolutely the best dinner experience I've ever had! The environment was absolutely amazing. We had a party and the area they sat us in was so perfect. Everything from appetizers, to the entree, and desert was so delicious and beautiful. Service was amazing. They even had a live piano player which was excellent. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a special night out. Thank you YamaChen for a great night.”

“I love this place! Anytime I place a mobile order it’s exactly how I want it. Mayra and Carolina always take care of me even when I’m in a rush!

Parking: Parking in the front is optimal but there’s plenty of parking located behind the building.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots located on the side of the building and are wheelchair accessible.”

“I brought my parents here for a late/light lunch and they loved it. Veggies were fresh and crisp, noodles cooked to perfection, and the (halal!) beef and shrimp were delish. My mom is usually a
harsh critic when eating out, but she was surprisingly pleased with everything here. They also liked the spring rolls, and though the staff was super kind and helpful when informing us after placing our orders what wasn't halal and offered to swap out. Overall, this place was a hit!”

“Karaoke Nights!!! Chorizo!! Great food! Fun staff!”

“The meat quality was outstanding. The brisket was thinly sliced for the perfect balance of tenderness and crispiness, and the bulgogi was really good too.

The side dishes were also delicious. Steamed egg was really good. The dipping sauces complemented the meats perfectly, and the attentive staff ensured our grill was always clean and ready for more.

For the price, the quality and variety of meats exceeded expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for AYCE Korean BBQ with premium meat quality.”

“Great service super clean establishment & restroom; great staff”

“excelente atención super recomendado como sentirte en tu casa la sazón buena”

“This is a delicious little hole in the wall serving Peruvian tacos and other fare. The atmosphere is pretty low-key, but what knocks it down a few stars for me is cleanliness. The kitchen and bathrooms are disgusting, which always makes me wonder if I'm going to get sick after eating here. I haven't yet though...”

“Everything is tasty and fresh! This my go to neighborhood restaurant for weekday lunch with my son or carry out. You get so much for only $12! During COV-ID, I would pick up lunch for employees. Service is friendly and excellent.”

“No character count could capture how amazing Jamie been to my family. Sunshine or sundown, if she’s there, we’re laughing, we feel at home, and like we’re her favorite people in the place. Jamie’s the reason we keep coming back. Tonight wasn’t a great night for this mom— I stoped in and left smiling and laughing because of her. Thank you, Jamie and Team 💕”

“It was delicious!! Definitely recommend the Cup bap and the spicy crispy chicken.
The cup bap came with fried rice, spicy fried chicken , peppers, lettuce and onions! It all tasted wonderfully together.
The crispy chicken sandwich was topped with a cabbage mix salad, pickles, red onion and your choice of sauce. I picked the coleslaw as my side and it was delicious!
They gave us a side of free fries while we waited!
Can’t wait to come back and try more items from the menu!”

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!”

“First time eating at Emilio's. Very good pizza !!! I will absolutely be back”

“The food is delicious! The ribs were perfectly smoked and fork tender. Reasonably priced too. You owe it to yourself!”

“The food here here is really good, and the mango sauce is a must. However the amount of single use throwaway plastics they generate for a simple meal for 2 is disgustingly high.”

“I eat here regularly. The food is always hot and plentiful. Normally, only eat the pasta dishes with the chicken parmigiano being my favorite however my coworkers eat from all over the menu and have never been disappointed.
Service is always friendly and they pay attention to the details for special requests.
I can't say anything bad about Romano's except I can't eat here daily since my waist won't allow it.”

“Treated myself to my favorite breakfast, biscuits and gravy at Cracker Barrel. At the time I went it was not terribly crowded so was a peaceful spot for a needed break. Service was quick and my food was as yummy as ever.”

The family ordered a bit of everything on the menu so we all could share (huge portions) Pulled pork, chicken livers, large catfish plate, and big spicy, crispy wings.

If you want home cooked, southern style soul food, this is the place to head to.”
