Not as pretty looking because it's mixed already with everything. But it was yummy!

Shah's halal food restaurant recently opened about 2 weeks ago in the North point village shopping center. And it's pretty good here!! If you like Halal guys and DCG and wished that there was a place closer in Reston? Look no farther!! We got the combo platter as usual, they give pretty good portions of rice, chicken, gyro meats, veggies, red onions and you can choose other toppings like chickpeas, hummus, diced sweet onions, other types of veggies. Sauces they have the white sauce and spicy red sauce (which wasn't too spicy for us since we eat our food extra spicy) and they also have green chili sauce which we didn't get. Next time I will try some. But for now, this bowl of food was satisfying as it is. Their chicken and gyro meat tasted good, it wasn't overly salty like some places. Their meats went very well with their rice and veggies. Service was quick and friendly! We will be back for more!

Shah's Halal Food is another expansion from a food truck in Queens, NY and they just opened in Reston with a free rice platter at lunch. For those that are familiar with the Halal Guys in NYC, this is very similar and it looks like they are growing just as fast. Lamb, Chicken, gyros, falafel, and even cheesesteaks. My son and I line up in the cold and the line outside quickly lengthens in size to 50+ folks. We wait approximately 10-15 minutes outside and then get inside where the friendly manager/owner (not sure which) chats with folks and talks about the impressive expansion they are doing in the DMV. Nice people working the store... We both opt for the Combo Rice Platter with lamb and chicken. The chicken has a reddish/orangish marinade which is a bit different from other halal places and you also can add numerous toppings - lettuce, cucumber/tomatoes, onions, chickpeas, hummus, fried veggies (onions, peppers), etc. You then must top it off with the white sauce and I also prefer the hot red sauce. There are a few other sauces offered but I didn't partake. How does it compare? Good, solid, tasty food...the proteins are moist and marinated nicely, the veggies are fresh and with the combo of the white and red sauce it is a good meal. Is it the best rendition I've had?? Probably not..but definitely a solid option when feeling a halal meal. Nice to have this new option in Reston...

If you live in Reston and don't want to go out of your way to get The Halal Guys, this is a great and delicious alternative. It was full of flavor and the Falafel had a nice crunch to it.

Went there the other day. It has a huge parking lot so it's not hard to find parking. It wasn't busy when I went in around 5, and food was good! I love DCG, but it's further out from me. This place is just as good minus the extra minutes to drive to DCG. They offer a variety of toppings such as beans, chickpeas, and salad, and they're generous with the sauce. I liked it and I will be back!

Stopped in tonight with a few friends for a quick sando. I wasn't in the mood to cook and neither…read morewere my buddies, so we came here for an easy meal. I'm a big sandwich fan and generally make them at home because most shops don't add enough meet or toppings. I think I found my new sandwich shop. Checked out the menu and had to decide between the roast pork and broccolini or panko breaded fried chicken sandwich. Both sounded good, but after I found out the roast pork shoulder is made in house, the decision became really easy. My friends ordered the fried chicken with double chicken ($4.00 upgrade). The staff were very friendly and efficient. It was close to closing but everyone was super nice. They called us to pick up our orders and I was somewhat surprised by the feel of my sandwich. It has some heft to it. I sat down, opened it, and you can see what I had in the photo. Good bread can make or break a sandwich. My sandwich roll was slightly toasted with a good crunch and the inner part was nice and chewy. The sandwich had the perfect ratio of pork and broccolini and was covered in melted cheese and had a mayo/mustardy sauce. There was also just a touch of what tasted like crushed red pepper which just set the sandwich off. I was thinking Reading Terminal Market level of good. My buddies chicken sandwich was ridiculous. Two fried chicken breasts with all the toppings on a nice roll. It was tasty. This place is a real deal sandwich shop. The have the standard sodas and also have Dr. Brown's, Perrier water, San Pellegrino, draft beer, and other beers and seltzer drinks in cans. The chips are the Dirty and Route 11 chips. It's like they selected the best things to go with their sandwiches. Location is a little tricky to find and parking is tight, but it's totally worth the trip. I will definitely be back, but probably get everything to go. If you want a really good sandwich that is stuffed with filling for a fair price, you need to come here and try it out. You won't be disappointed!

Sometimes you just want to reward yourself with something sweet and…read moredelicious.  That's why we decided to head on over to Twisted Sweets & Savory.  We had never had chimney cakes before - an omission that shall not be allowed to happen again because - Yum!  These are like if really sugary donuts were stretched out into long snakes of dough and then coiled up until it made a wonderful open tube to be coated with all sorts of great things. We chose to do the pistachella and the bounty.  They both featured Nutella and if that wasn't enough, one added crushed pistachios and the other coconut flakes.  They were very tasty but very rich and between the two of us, we had to admit defeat before finishing them both.  Happily, there are to go boxes to bring home any remainders.  The space is very clean and there are tables and lots of napkins (which you will need because these treats are both awesome and very messy).  The staff was very friendly and the parking is easy in the lot out front.  We will have to come back again to try some of the savory options to definitely be followed up by another dessert one. MMMMMM

Twisted Sweets and Savory had been on my radar for quite some time. Yet, it took us quite a while…read moreto give it a try. In part, that was us not quite able to figure out exactly where it was. Grant Street, it turns out, is disjointed. In other words, it's not like it's just a straight shot from one end to the other. We stopped in here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. The place closes at 6 p.m., and are closed on Sunday. At that time of day, they weren't at all busy. The young man at the counter took our orders, and someone working in the back made the sandwiches. We just ordered savory items, so we can't speak to how the sweet items are (although some of them sounded so good). I ordered the salmon sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with dill cream cheese, filled with smoked Atlantic salmon, spring mix, cucumber, and red onion." The bread choices are everything bagel, jalapeno, and cheesy. I chose the everything bagel and asked for no onion. I found this sandwich to be tasty, but I thought they could have gone lighter with the dill cream cheese. The bread had a nice crispness. My husband ordered the ham and Swiss sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with paprika mayo and filled with black forest ham, Swiss cheese, fresh romaine hearts, spring mix, sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onion". He wasn't happy with the paprika mayo, as he says mustard would have worked better. Nor did he care for the sweet peppers. Now he knows not to order the default setting for this sandwich but instead to customize the toppings. They work with DoorDash, which, when ordering online, gives the option to customize one's order. There are high tables, the type that are found in bars, for those who want to eat their sandwiches there. The place is kept very clean.

This place is not visible from the road. It looks like all the buildings around are offices, but…read moretrust your map; this place is in one of those buildings. Drive around if you need to, and you'll eventually find the sign. Should you go through all that trouble to find the place? Umm, yes, because the sub I had here was really tasty and gave me a homey feel. It's family-run, and the staff was very friendly. If you are out of ideas for lunch and nearby, consider trying the subs at this place. You won't regret it. The thick double plastic bags are overkill, though. I wish they would use paper wraps and paper bags instead. Something to improve upon.

I'm so glad that I was able, courtesy of Yelp, to get a free sandwich here. I brought my husband…read morealong (we paid for his sub) and we both decided to try the "Crazy Italian" sub. We both ended up liking this sub so much that we've now had it two more times. This sub consists of: "capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, Genoa salami, lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese." We got them with oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. The second time we ordered 2 subs using Doordash. These subs came with the default toppings which are mayonnaise, onions and hot peppers. We both agreed that we prefer them with just the oil and vinegar plus salt and pepper. These subs are the best we've had. The bread is soft and fresh plus the family who owns the place knows how to assemble a sub so that everything is packed in well, thus making it easier to eat. All the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The family who runs it is very friendly. We were pleasantly surprised when we went there recently, since we were in the area, and decided to buy 2 subs to go, that the lady who waited on us when we first went there, remembered us! The one drawback---They are located in an office park. Thus their business hours correspond to regular work hours. On Thursday and Friday, they do stay open until 6 p.m. They are closed on the weekends. So...basically, it's a hidden gem. If you like subs, it's worth a visit or an order on Doordash. And, yes, we will be back!

I'm glad I was with them, since the location is tucked away up the stairs and would be easy to miss if you are passing by. However, inside was very airy and spacious with many cozy options for seating. I ordered my chai with oat milk and a cinnamon roll from the friendly cashier. She asked if I wanted to warm my roll, and I agreed with the suggestion. Once we had our order, we headed to the couch to enjoy our brunch. The chai was delicious and had a nice peppery kick. It even came with a little cookie! I also really enjoyed the cinnamon roll, which was especially packed with spiced goodness at the warm center. I loved that everyone from studying students to large families could enjoy the indoor and outdoor space. Even with a fairly steady flow of customers, we were able to relax in the sunny couch area without feeling rushed. I would definitely return here for another chai and some breakfast in the future!
