    Meat pies did not look like the traditional ones on the menu picture
    Kyle N.

    Wanted to try this new middle-eastern restaurant. I ordered a mixed grill platter, the rice was crisp, but lacked seasoning, and the ground lamb was bland. I also ordered the meat pies, the did not look like the traditional Lebanese pies on the picture, but rather like empanadas. The meat was watered down with something else, and they too lacked seasoning. I loved the Turkish Salaam Cola; not too sweet with a great Cola taste. Service was super friendly, but the food could improve.

    Right when we walked in, we were greeted warmly. The restaurant is beautiful inside and feels familiar. The food was quick to come out and amazing. Hubby had shawarma and I had the mansaf. Falafel and hummus, everything tasted like back home. Mint lemonade and strawberry lemonade both totally fresh and made right then. Worth it, def come again!

    Haneeth
    Jehad A.

    Tried the Yemeni haneeth and it was excellent. The meat was incredibly tender, well seasoned, and full of flavor, clearly slow cooked the right way. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. A great spot if you're craving authentic Yemeni food. Would definitely come back.

    Chicken Shawarma.

    A great new restaurant in Fairfax City. We loved the hummus, fresh hot pita, and chicken shawarma. Such a friendly and attentive wait staff.

    Kofta in oven

    Absolutely fantastic experience at Sim Sim! We ordered the haneeth and the kofta in the oven, and both dishes were incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The food truly tasted homemade with authentic Middle Eastern touches. The service was just as impressive, warm, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Sim Sim is a gem in the community, and I highly recommend everyone to come and try their amazing food. I especially encourage my Kurdish community to visit and enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Support this place. you will love it just as much as we did!

It did get really busy as we were there and our food took a bit. I think a few people also ordered online for pickup so the order stuff was getting made was unclear. I ordered a smashburger and it was great. Nothing too crazy but very delicious. My brother got the chopped cheese and enjoyed it. The best part was something that we ordered to share, the Chapli Chopped Cheese Loaded fries. It wasn't on their menu boards yet but I had seen it on their instagram and had to try it. It was delicious! I would definitely come back and get those again. It had a great flavor, the sauce was delicious, and the fries were still relatively crispy despite the amount of sauce and toppings. Overall, a great spot that I would recommend to others and will definitely coming back soon!

Also, the gentlemen at the register are always so nice and welcoming! The Burgers (tried all 3): 10/10. The Patriot Burger with double meat tastes like a love child between a hot and fresh In-N-Out burger and a Big Mac. I just finished one and I'm still salivating. The Chopped Cheese: 7/10. They messed up a previous order of this by adding jalapeños to both sandwiches instead of just one and it was too spicy for me. The fries: 8/10. They get cold quickly, but they taste similar to fries from Burger King. They're good and they came with organic ketchup, which I appreciated.

The space itself was cozy, and the wall decor made it feel warm and comfortable, perfect for a nice dinner with friends or family. The lamb skewers were so flavorful with generously-sized chunks of lamb on the skewer. I was so curious about the noodles and I'm glad we got the chance to try the gambian soman. You can tell the noodles were hand-pulled, they were so bouncy and absorbed the flavor of the meat (we got lamb) and the bell peppers so well. For dessert, we had the honey cake, which was also amazing. The cake layers were a little crumbly which complimented the cream layers in between, and the sweetness was perfectly, which I usually am cautious about when it comes to food sweetened with honey. I did end up coming back two days in a row because I was craving the lamb lol

I have been to almost all the Ughyur food spots in the DMV and Eerkin is simply my favorite for several reasons. The food is served piping hot. Like pipe down hot or whatever you say... and it is darn delicious. This time around I went there on a date and even though the date went horribly wrong because the girl was telling me if I want to be with her I have to stop wearing shorts but as soon as I took a bike out of this Thawa Lamb Shank her voice became mute and all I could hear was the storm caused by the flavors in my mouth. Everything here tastes amazing, from the soft and chewy hand pulled noodles to the dumplings and the pilaf. I love this place. 5/5 I won't mind having more bad dates here.
