This salon has been a great place to go for many different services. They have a two story facility right in the Reston Town Center. Upstairs you can get waxing, facials and cosmetic procedures. Downstairs is their salon which is also very good. I have never had a problem making an anointment here, even on short notice. They are very accommodating, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They also sell an array of Aveda products in their lobby which may be hard to find elsewhere.

This is another of my favorite places to stop by. It is Greek / Mediterranean themed food in a sit-down serve-yourself atmosphere. They take your order at the counter and call your order when it is ready. This saves on the cost, and you can get a whole lunch for roughly $6. Their pitas are made very well and are very filling. They have an array of desserts in the cases at the counter for you to peruse if you still have room. I recommend the fried zucchini side order. They also have another location in Vienna if you prefer to try that one as well.

For anyone who has read my other reviews, you know that parking is something I highly consider when rating a restaurant. Well folks, Cafe Asia is one of those city restaurants with no parking lot. However, there are many underground garages nearby, and the one I used accepts a validated ticket from Cafe Asia reducing the parking fee to about $3. The food is worth it though., and they don't overcharge you. The dining area is huge, and can seat many people at once, and it does. This place was full to capacity when I was there. I took a look at everyone elses plates as I walked through the room, and everything looked delicious. You get a big plate/bowl of food in a large portion. The service might be a little slow, as it was for us, but that could be because every table is full and they are busy. The three of us split 3 appetizers (I remember the crab wontons were very good). All in all a good place.

I went to this restaurant after some friends recommended it to me. The food was good, and the rice was especially extraordinary compared with other Indian restaurants' rice. Here, they mix so many things into their standard rice I can't even remember them all. I remember things like peas, nuts, raisins, cashews, and all kinds of things were in there. Very nice change. The mango lasse was one of the better ones I've had. This restaurant has very good food and a very appealing ambiance with a nice view into DC. I have to include, though, it is troublesome getting there. If you take the metro rail, the closet stop still leaves you with quite a ling distance to walk. If you drive, there is no parking lot for the restaurant.. you will have to use a pay lot nearby, try to find something on the street (hard), or park a few blocks away where there is a little more parking opportunity. Aside from the pain of getting there, the food is very good, and it would be a nice place to take a date.. maybe not great for kids.

The locals really love this place. I know because I have driven past it a couple of St. Patricks Days and their parking lot is overflowing all over town. On the occasions I have eaten there, the food is always dependable, as is the service. They have live entertainment which I don't really care for, but I can see is well enjoyed by the types of people who like it. The restaurant has a cozy feel to it, with homestyle entres on the menu. All your favorites from pot roast to mashed potatos and steak. They even have weeknight specials. I know it is really basic, but for whatever reason, I really dig their chicken finger strips appetizer - they're always good. The only downfall about this place is that it is a smoke-filled atmosphere, and you WILL leave smelling the smoke on your clothes (if you're a non-smoker). Other than that, there's nothing I could improve on.

Banjara is good, decent indian food straight up. Although I can't say this is one of my favored Indian restaurants in the area, I'm not averse to eating there when in Ashburn. The menu offers enough selections that anybody should be able to find something they like, and the food was prepared correctly and spiced according to request. I enjoyed the selection of breads on the menu and thought the Roti was very good. The rice was plentiful and we had no problem finishing our meals without having any leftovers. A decent spot to eat. There is ample parking and even some ice cream shops in the same strip for you to make a 2-in-1 stop.

I think the biggest thing this place has going for it is the table-prepared guacamole dip. Your server will prepare guacamole fresh from avacados at your table while you watch. That said, I'm not sure there's much else about this restaurant that would draw me to go there. The place was packed at 8pm on the Saturday night I ate there. Apparently that guacamole dip rakes in the customers! But alas, the food was very boring.. it was not even memorable. The bar couldn't make any of the cocktails I asked for (be sure to stick to margaritas only if you order drinks). The restaurant was so noisy I had to cup my hands around my ear to let my table-neighbors talk to me so that I could hear.. and it was so crowded it took me about 5 whole minutes to get from my table to the bathroom door - which had a line trailing outside of it. This place seems like an obviously popular hangout, and the guacamole dip is no doubt an interesting flare.. however this is not a good place to get a good authentic mexican dinner. Go ahead and go for that dip!

This is one of the best lunchtime restaurants for well-priced good food in large quantity. I love to order the falafel platter.. it comes with a falafel pita sandwich, a pickle, and a huge side of fries. It is so much food I always leave full, and it usually only costs me around $4.99 for the whole thing. The atmosphere is pleasant, yet appears to be a re-use of a pre-existing Pizza Hut. The staff was prompt each time I dined there and they can set orders up for you to take out. They also offer delivery. This place really is unbeatable for getting a nice sit-down meal for an honest price. I recommend everyone try it out.

I've eaten at nearly every Indian restaurant I can in the area, and this place is one of my favorites. The service is extremely helpful and kind. They were able to make a wonderful suggestion when we were ordering, noting that we were ordering 2 similar items, and that we should try something more different to contrast to the other dish. The food was very quality and was served hot. We were greated when we arrived and they say goodbye and thanked us as we left. We were so impressed with every aspect of the service, and the food was so good as well. I just found this restaurant in these past couple weeks, so I will definitely be going back.

My family used to love to eat at this restaurant way back in the 80s. The decor was fancy, the service superb, and the food equally good to match. However this is not quite the case in present times. I remembered this restaurant after nearly 2 decades since eating there, and decided to go back and try it again. The food was mediocre.. not bad, but not special either. The service was slow and unhelpful. The interior of the restaurant seems to not have changed any since the 80s. Water stains on the celing panels and carpeting, old equipment and tables, etc. We also didn't like that they charged us extra for running out of rice and bringing us a little bowl with an ice-cream scoop sized portion of rice and charging us extra for it. I believe this restaurant is featured in a number of coupon books, so it might be worth eating here while getting a slight break on the price. Otherwise, I think you could find a more upscale Chinese food restaurant if you want the atmosphere.
