Would def recommend this place and can't wait to go back!

The sauce was either broken or not cooked long enough because it was separated and watery and runny and the chicken itself was dry and could have been from the prior day. My order was also missing the rice, salad, chickpeas and yogurt that the menu clearly stated all entrees are served with...maybe that was a blessing though given how unappetizing the entree was. The naan breads were what "saved" this review although they were not hitting hitting ... they were about 3 stars. Definitely won't be ordering from or dining here again.

Yesterday, Friday, August 28, 2026, we took our guests from New York to Toosso, located at 20921…read moreDavenport Dr., Sterling, VA 20165, for lunch. Our guests were particularly interested in visiting because Tooso is a familiar name to many people from Karachi. Their first impression, however, was less enthusiastic, especially considering the restaurant's size and ambiance. We live in Herndon and have eaten at Tooso several times, although, for some reason, there had been a gap of a few months since our last visit. The restaurant appears to have changed since then. The seating area has been reduced, apparently to make room for office space and employee facilities. The place now has a somewhat rugged, basic appearance, although the atmosphere remains clean and peaceful. It is casual and somewhat dhaba-like rather than polished or formal. The service is largely self-help: customers have to pick up disposable forks, knives, spoons, and paper napkins themselves. For lunch, we ordered bowls of qeema, grilled chicken, chickpeas, bread, and rice. Unfortunately, we felt that both the quality and portion sizes had declined compared with our earlier visits, while the prices had increased. This was disappointing, particularly because we had recommended the restaurant to our guests based on our previous experiences. Tooso continues to benefit from its longstanding reputation as a halal restaurant serving authentic Pakistani-style food. Its location is convenient, with easy access from Route 7, and parking is usually readily available in the adjoining lot. Overall, while Tooso retains the name recognition and reputation that have made it popular among people familiar with Pakistani food, our latest visit did not quite live up to our expectations or to the standard we remembered from previous visits. I would give 3.0 stars based on our last visit. Zafar Iqbal, PhD

After a long day driving through 5 states, my daughter and I stopped here for dinner. We ordered a…read moremix of a couple of things we were familiar with (Channa Masala Bowl with rice, Pakoras), one thing that looked similar to things we'd had before (Zeera Aloo Roll), and one thing that was totally new to us (Dahi Baray). After ordering, we chose a table and sat down to wait for our food. We noticed that the table was sticky, but after checking several other tables we realized that they were all sticky - they didn't seem *dirty*, just sticky. The Zeera Aloo Roll and Channa Masala bowl came up first. The roll was ok - mostly just roti and very drippy sauce with a few potatoes. I enjoyed the flavor, just wished there was more filling. The Chana Masala was fine -- a bit bland and the bowl was 90% rice, but it was edible. When the Pakoras came out, it was mostly just onions and a couple of potato sticks. Not much flavor there either - I couldn't even really taste the onions, it all just tasted like oil. It did come with a small cup of raita, and that was good. We had no idea what to expect from the Dahi Baray since we'd never heard of it before -- it turned out to be a few little mushy balls of dough about the size of cherries, in a huge bowl of tangy yogurt sauce that was a little bit sweeter than the raita. I liked the sauce - I mixed some with the rice from the chana masala - but neither of us liked the dumplings at all. When we were done, I stopped in the restroom before we hit the road again. I found a fairly large, very dimly lit bathroom with a very wet floor, and while I was washing my hands the dim light went out all together leaving me in total darkness. When I emerged I grabbed some napkins to dry my hands, and my daughter decided that she would wait and use the restroom at thenearby gas station before we hit the road again. Overall not the worst dining experience I've had, but we won't be back.

(I paid $50 after tip) Tbh I don't go to buffets often especially in Ramadan bc I feel the prices are high compared to how much you end up eating, but I believe they charge a lot for the variety put out. Reservation required - my friend called ahead of time a day or two to book us a table. You are assigned a table number. I love that the restaurant made people reserve to make sure they didn't overbook! It was FULLY packed so there wasn't a lot of space between tables and someone's chair behind me kept touching me but no big deal. Parking - very hard to find parking based on capacity. Luckily the hookah lounge, Bank of America etc allowed people to use their spots and didn't tow, otherwise the Clove parking lot is quite small. Iftaar buffet - lots of variety! They also let people start getting food 15 min before iftaar, that way there wasn't a huge rush as soon as fasting broke to avoid chaos lol - I appreciated this bc it was calm and controlled traffic at the table! People also left the main hall to go pray maghrib. Staff was great and was very attentive to make sure all trays were constantly refilled. The staff also checks to pick up your plates when you're done or getting another round of food haha. The front of the table has plates, then there's chutneys and salad, followed by chaat papri, dahi balay, pakoras, samosas and other desi snacks. The mains ranged from qabuli pulao, biryani, butter chicken, malai kofta, fried fish, chicken 65 and a few other items. The desserts were at the end of the table including kheer and gulab jamun. A separate table along the wall held cups and hot canisters of lemonade, qahwa (green tea), chai, Kashmiri chai, including ground nuts garnish and sugar, and soda. Highlights - lemonade (even tho there was a touch too much black salt), samosas, chicken 65, butter chicken, Kashmiri chai, and the cute warm gulab jamuns UGH YES. Skip imo - qabuli pulao (I didn't feel a lot of flavor so not enough salt or broth), dahi balay (idk if I didn't like their yogurt or what but these were not it).

Six of us went to Clove Restaurant in Sterling for dinner around 8 PM. The restaurant was…read morecompletely empty, which was already concerning. Sadly, we soon found out why. We ordered biryani, karahi chicken, chicken corn soup, and a few other dishes. The food was terrible. The chicken was cold, dry, and tasted like it had been reheated or left over. The chicken corn soup was especially bad, with a strong unpleasant chicken smell that made it hard to eat. It was very embarrassing because we had guests with us. We spent nearly $200, and the quality of the food was unacceptable. A refund would honestly be more appropriate than charging full price for food like this. The restaurant's website looks flashy with nice pictures, but the actual food does not match at all. Even the service felt unprofessional--the waiter did not appear properly dressed. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Please avoid it if you can. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but this experience deserves honesty.

Made me homesick lol. Had to wait about 20 mins for food which was fine, felt longer because I was hungry but the uncle did a phenomenal job, I'm pretty sure he's making everything fresh. The place is a bit chilly inside with the fans, the tables and seating are alright but the bathrooms are sparkling clean (with lotas). I'd get this place again but take it to go because I couldn't finish the half portion either. They have free ice water next to the cutlery, napkins etc so that was nice too. Overall, brilliant and authentic Pakistani food.

I said I'd give this place another chance and I did. I didn't think I'd need two trips though…read more Ordered the number 11 togo. I took a singular bite into each item to perform quality assurance and was disappointed to find out the rice tasted like it hadn't been washed, the lamb smelled like it was alive, bread was cold and the chicken was average. Two options laid on the table, call it a lesson learned and eat the food and never go back or call the store and return the food. Since I hadn't had breakfast or lunch I went with option 2 and figured I'd pick some food from somewhere else. I returned to the restaurant and was pleased to find out that the owner had already processed the refund. Due to the customer service I felt like 3 stars was fair. If it was a review based on the food only it would be a 1 star again.

You can tell that the owners truly care about the quality of branding and presentation. I've been here before and had a positive experience both times. The food is great, the masala fries and falooda are must try's. The fries are crispy and seasoned well and the falooda is sweet, rose-y/pistachio-y, and balanced well with textures. This time we also tried the chaat papri bowl (small). The chick peas were seasoned well with the sauces and paired well with the crispy chaat. I just wasn't a fan of the tomatoes. Overall, everything was reasonably priced for the quality and portions. I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a Indian street snack or dessert.
