Mehak
7716 Lee Highway
Falls Church
703.573.8076
With always impressive lunch buffets and outstanding dishes like their
Shrimp Biryani, Mehak will make a meal worth remembering. Be
sure to order the garlic nan and ask for your food to be prepared
extra spicy if you want the full effect that their chefs offer.

Haandi
1222 W Broad St
Falls Church
703.533.3501
Great food with an emphasis on presentation. Sometimes crowded
for good reason, but worth a visit if you're in the area to taste
their masterfully prepared entrees.

Woodlands
4078 Jermantown Road
Fairfax
703.385.1996
Northern Indian vegetarian cuisine, plush with breads and a variety of
interesting dishes not typically seen given the popularity of the more
common southern Indian fare. Though the spacious seating lacks the
intimacy of other Indian restaurants, the food is great and the buffet
is highly recommended.

Da Domenico
1992 Chain Bridge Rd
Tysons Corner
703.790.9000
A great place to dress up for and go on a date. Meals are elegant
and service is both friendly and polite. This place is totally packed
on the weekends so reservations are recommended.
|
Maggiano's
1790 M International Dr
Tysons Corner
703.356.9000
A beautiful dining hall and a great menu makes this an excellent dining
experience. Reservations are a good idea here and this is a worthwhile
excursion to make when sampling the Italian offerings in the northern
Virginia area.
|
Pulcinella
6852 Old Dominion Dr
McLean
703.893.7777
More casual than Da Domenico or Maggiano's, Pulcinella has a wide range
of outstanding authentic Italian food. Service is friendly and
non-intrusive. Their fetucini carbonara has inspired many nights
of experimentation in vain hopes of replicating the delectable pleasure
it provided.
|
Romano's Macaroni Grill
1845 Fountain Dr
Reston
703.471.4474
Friendly waiters, well crafted food, and obscenely oversized portions
make this a great place to eat. A great addition for socializing is
the paper tablecloth and crayons provided which will come in handy in
completely unexpected ways.

and fulfilling feast.

|
Yama
328 W Maple Ave
Vienna
703.242.7703
A wide range of specialty sushi makes Yama special, but the service is
excellent as well. Be sure to try the spider rolls for a memorable meal.

Thai
|
Paya Thai
8417 Old Courthouse Rd
Vienna
703.883.3881
Excellent fresh meats that are skillfully prepared demonstrate a careful
understanding of the subtlety that makes Thai food so enjoyable. The
inviting interior makes dining in a good choice, but take out and delivery
are offered as well in case you want to delight in this fine food within
the privacy of your home.

Pilin Thai
116 West Broad St
Falls Church
703.241.5850
8385 Leesburg Pike
Vienna
703.556.9191
Doing away with the pretension of hip, lavishly colored walls and
lacquered tables in a designer environment, the sole focus of Pilin
Thai is on the outstanding quality of their food. While the West
Broad St location is best suited for indulgent dining, the Leesburg Pike
location is great for grabbing a tasty and inexpensive lunch. Their
chicken and especially their fish is well prepared and can even be
suitably substituted with tofu for vegetarians. If you're into spicy
food then don't be shy about asking for their special treatment - they
aim to please and they do a great job.
