    Very nice place and nice food Great location and friendly stuff . Thank you for everything it was a great day ...

    We had an amazing dinner at SimSim. The lamb kabab, babaganoush, and family lamb shawarma were absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully balanced and perfectly seasoned -- the flavors were outstanding. The owner personally welcomed us in a very warm and genuine way, which made the experience even more special. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and honestly, it's hard to believe this place isn't packed every night. Highly recommended!

    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

    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.

    MashaAllah best service ever best food .the owner comes even talk to you.definately will come again and again

    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!

From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe just wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

    Having really enjoyed our meal at Milk & Honey in DC, we were very happy to see another location…read moreopen up in Northern VA.  Though it didn't quite match our other meal, we still enjoyed the food and excellent and very friendly service.  The space is in a strip center with ample parking.   The dining room is pretty noisy and apparently can get a little warm when filled to capacity as it was so we opted to sit in the covered outside area to the side of the restaurant.  This worked out really well.  We ordered the milk & honey latte which was amazing at the DC location.  Here, it was good but just a little sweeter than I would have hoped.  We shared the butter glazed biscuits which were delicious and light with the butter and preserves.  Two of us went for breakfast choices with a Biscoff waffle and a honey butter pancakes.  Though it is listed as a side, the waffle was full side and came with beautiful strawberries and whipped cream.  It was a tiny bit dry but also nice and crispy.  When eaten with the whipped cream it was great and the Biscoff cookie on top was a yummy topper.  The pancakes were like Dutch baby ones - really tall.  The serving was really generous and we ended up taking one home.  The gumbo must have been really good because my dining partner ate it all down before I could get a taste   Our server was very friendly and helpful.  And, even though she was super busy, we never felt at all ignored.  Welcome to VA Milk & Honey!  We are so glad you are here!

    Wow!! What an experience! Very impressed by our brunch meal at Chloez. This up beat local café…read moreis an affordable and delicious brunch or lunch spot any day of the week. We ordered the breakfast burrito, pancake combo, and waffle combo. The breakfast burrito was hot and well assembled. The eggs were fluffy, it was full of cheese, and I was able to substitute sausage for bacon. The home fries that came with it were soft, well seasoned, and DELICIOUS!! I was blown away by these. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The Belgian waffle was also good. The combos came with a small side of fresh and delicious fruit. We had an amazing server named Darlene. She was super friendly and funny, and very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend asking for Darlene when you come! The ambiance is super cool. It's like a farmhouse with a little groove!! Come check it out!

    We stopped by Chloez Cafe for a working breakfast with several colleagues. Overall, I left with…read moremixed feelings. $100 for four adults was..excessive. The positives first: the restaurant is attractive inside, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the food itself was good. My chicken fajita omelet was flavorful, although it contained surprisingly little chicken. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their meals. Unfortunately, the pricing and constant add-on charges really overshadowed the experience. At $15 for an omelet, the prices are already toward the high end for breakfast. Then there are extra charges for things that feel like they should be included. Real maple syrup is an additional $1.50, and coffee was an eye-popping $4 per cup. Looking at our receipt afterward, it really felt like we were being nickel-and-dimed. The biggest surprise was the 3% credit card surcharge. In 2026, charging customers extra for paying with a credit card feels outdated. Very few people carry enough cash to cover a $100 breakfast meeting, so it comes across as another hidden fee rather than a genuine choice. One other odd thing I noticed was the floor. Whenever someone heavier walked through the dining room, the entire floor visibly bounced. It wasn't unsafe as far as I could tell, but it was noticeable enough to the table to be distracting throughout the meal. I wanted to like this place because the atmosphere, service, and food were all solid. But between the high menu prices, the extra charges, and the credit card fee, I left feeling like the value just wasn't there. Unless the pricing structure changes, I don't expect to return.
