You can reach it via metro or park in a huge garage at the Mall. Food is very good and reasonably priced - between 3$ and $8. Sandwiches(banh mi) , soups(pho) and egg rolls are available. Cultural dance and music performances going on while you are eating.. Even Psychic readings is available - same shop was at the Bolivian Festival week later which proofs how our hopes are the same, no matter how we look or talk. No entrance fee - just open yourself to a different culture and food. Kids playground available - Lions dance - ice cream...kids friendly

23rd Annual Middle Eastern Food Festival was a great event. I missed 22 other years but I will be…read morecoming again. The staff is incredibly organized, it feels more like an organized Japanese, not Middle East Festival. Everything is presented nicely in different and multiple formats (plates, hand brochure or large food panel with pictures) so it is really hard not to know what is available. Hosts are welcoming and asking how they can assist. The only improvement would be to place a schedule of events on the website so people can gauge what event they want to attend (dance, or roasted lamb dinner or whatever else). There are many ethnic drinks offered and they complement great food. I had a Kibbeh Platter and it was so good that I wanted to meet the lady cook. This is really easy festival to remember because it always during the Labor day weekend. There is a lot of stuff for the kids (free pony rides for example) in the large backyard or you can have a church tour. The assembly hall is large and Arabic music entertained us entire time. The Sweets table is a LONG table with any baklava that you may think off (walnuts, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, ...) Sweets that I tried were all very tasty. I leave this place with a satisfied belly and notion that everything was perfect and I credit the great hosts for that.

Here's what I saw in the various exhibition rooms: wool sweaters with snowflakes all over them; troll dolls; goat cheese; socks with reindeers; smoked salmon; coffee cups with "uff da" sayings; kransekake and krumkake; table linens; pewter creations; and lots and lots of artisan-crafted Christmas decorations (Norwegians like Christmas big time!). Hot food available: waffles, sandwiches, soup, coffee. Not to mention all sorts of Norwegian traditional cookies and baked goodies. Also, live music, lefse demonstrations, raffle and other activities. I had a fab time. Admission and parking are both free. "Bra gjort", Sons of Norway.

7th Annual Nowruz Festival is advertised as a Persian New Year Celebration but this festival was…read moremuch more, because other nations in Asia celebrate spring as their New Year as well. I hope that one day Nowruz Spring Festival will be a mainstream festival like St. Patrick's in USA started - in the face of growing nativist opposition in 19th century as well as a public declaration of a hybrid identity, and a strict adherence to the values and liberties that the U.S. offered to the immigrants. Traditional Ash Reshteh soup served at the special Iranian events was reasonable $5. This vegetable soup is supposed to symbolize good fortune for the New Year but in my mind that was done by a default because the soup healthy ingredients give you a healthy start with the taste that is easy on the palate. Chicken kebab by Saffron Food Truck was the best chicken ever - it tasted like some fancy, high-end meat that should have had a golden leaf over it. The market was rich - full of items from Turkey (selling delicious Salep - flour made from the tubers of the orchid); Afghanistan shops as well as many Persian shops. The entertainment program was moving quickly and it was interesting. Interesting market items were the decorated eggs, and in the proximity of the Christian Easter, I was reminded how we are all closer to each other then we are apart. This Persian New Year festival has a great potential and I hope it will continue to grow. This was my 4th New Year in 2018 (American, Vietnamese, Chinese and Persian) and I loved it. There was no fee to enter and parking @ Tysons Corner is free.

Over the years, Viva Vienna has become a beloved family tradition! I'm not much of a carnival goer,…read morebut the fact that there is plenty of parking and a hop, skip, and a jump away from home makes it a winner in my book (perfect for those late afternoon toddler meltdowns!). My favorite place to park is near the Vienna Community Center and taking a short walk on the W&OD Trail. I've been doing this for years and it has worked out almost 95% of the time. Other must dos: - Watch the Vienna Singing Princess show (it truly is an hour of campy Disney-esque bliss) - Spinning teacups, carousel, and the spinning dragon ride - Grabbing all the fun free schwag in the vendor area - Moose Juice and funnel cake for the kiddos, chicken on the stick for the boy - Allllll the carnival games This year they switched out paper tickets to a card system. I still had some leftover tickets from last year and they were able to exchange without an issue. We have gone in the rain and on sunny days and it's always a blast. You will always run into a neighbor and it makes me feel like I'm on the set of some small town television show.

The service here is truly wonderful, always friendly, patient, and happy to offer recommendations. Everything I've tried is excellent, from the pierogies to the borscht, but you simply must try their sausage. Whether you get it to take home or on one of their fantastic sandwiches, the quality and flavor of their house-made sausage is out of this world. It's savory, perfectly spiced, and the highlight of any visit. If you are looking for real, hearty comfort food and a fantastic, old-school deli experience, Polka Deli is the place! Highly, highly recommend.

A lot of these foods are really familiar, and the selection is just so far and wide. I especially love how everything here is true to the ingredients and the pure authenticity of what the food is. Everyone we saw were delighted to greet the folks behind the counter cutting cold cuts, or just to show the sheer amount of pierogi they were stocking up on. At the counter, we ordered from their menu which had a very delicious borsht. It came pipping hot with some dill, and the veggies were nice and cooked down. The sampler is a must try if you want to get a good sense of the foods they offer, really enjoyed the varity of kielbasa and the hot mustard it comes with to dip. Gołąbki was generously filled and pan fried served with stove top potatos. A lot of their pastries are either imported or made in house, and it came in a good variety like poppyseed flavor. We enjoyed the food in their eating nook and enjoyed the really peaceful views of the strip mall. Really here for the homey vibes, something for just about anyone who is missing these nostalgic flavors. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
