Ordering is quick and easy through the iPad, and I went with the Beef Perfect Bowl over rice. The portion alone impressed me. It came piled high with grilled beef, fresh greens, rice, and even an egg roll, making it feel like a complete meal rather than just a rice bowl. The beef was flavorful, the vegetables added a nice freshness, and while I'm trying to cut back on carbs, I have to admit the sticky rice soaked up all the savory sauce and was hard to stop eating. The only thing I would do differently next time is ask for jalapeños or another spicy topping. I like my food with a little more heat, and I think that extra kick would have taken the bowl to the next level. There are a handful of tables if you want to eat there, but I grabbed mine to go. Hidden gem is an overused phrase, but in this case it actually fits. Generous portions, solid flavors, and reasonable prices for this day and age.

Awesome gem tucked away in Sterling that is a must try! I'm not sure how authentic the food... but…read moreit is certainly delicious and freshly prepared which is all you really want in any food place. Being that it is a Greek restaurant, we had to try the gyro and falafel. The gyro was packed with meat and veggies which made every bite very satisfying. The gyro also came with fries which completed the whole meal. The falafel had great flavor and paired well with the Greek salad. The portion was generous so make sure you come hungry. Customer service was fast and super friendly. Overall solid experience and food that is worth a try. Can't wait to come back.

BLUF: After all these years and several locations later, Big Greek Cafe still delivers good food at…read morea decent value. The service at the Sterling location on the day I visited was excellent. Friendly, patient, helpful, and polite. The feel of the location itself is your typical fast-food joint. Get in. Get out. Seemed clean enough. Not very cozy as in a great place to hang out. Not sure how it is during peak hours but the parking lot might get a bit crowded. The street for sure is busy & can cause cars to back up into the parking lot. The food, while not as awesome as I remembered it 5 years ago in MD, is still tasty. Today's visit, the meat in gyros was a bit dry & the gyros & the side of fries I paid full price for were rather skimpy in serving, given that the gyros used to be served with fries included in the price of the gyro. Still, the fries & the gyros still taste good. Not as good a value as in days of old...even on $7 gyro Wednesdays (which used to be $5 gyro Wednesdays). The fried fish sandwich was a good deal in these horrible economic times because it comes with a good-sized filet and fries. Although, $2 extra for Greek fries that only had a tablespoon of garlic, dry herbs, and feta crumbles tossed on top rolling off the fries then pooling at the bottom of the container. The garlic, herbs, & feta are supposed to stick to piping hot fries steaming with the awesome garlicky oil. What I received was really underwhelming and didn't even come close to the Greek fries I remember. So, I'll preface this review conclusion with this: Big Greek Cafe was one of my absolute favorite local joints... the food made me drool just thinking about it. The food was always plentiful in servings, hot, fresh, aromatic, wonderfully delicious, and everything on the menu was such a good value, you'd end up buying a ton of food. Was this trip worth the drive? Glad the curiosity about whether this VA location equaled the MD experiences was satisfied. Probably no longer high on my list to go out of my way to drive 30 minutes to get what used to be my fav sandwich. It seems a little too fast-foodsy, mass-produced now than the original delectable hole-in-the-wall local joint. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely pick up something because it's still tasty...just not as fantastic as I remember.

The lunch deal is pretty great. It's available M-F (noon-3pm). I attached a photo of the deals, but…read morewe chose the 10" signature pizza (additional $2) & house salad. We got the house greens salad which I really like the sunflower & corn, Diavola pizza (it's a great combo and not spicy) as well as the prosciutto and arugula pizza. Nice crisp and chewy crust and not too heavy toppings. The pies were bigger than I anticipated so we only had half and brought home the rest. Would definitely go back for the lunch special again or even happy hour.

Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8.

Usually we go to PokeHub (I know sacrilege to mention a competitor, but hey, full disclosure here) because it is closest to our house. We found ourselves in Sterling and poke is what she wanted. How can I say no to my DD? The decor was minimalist and clean. The service was friendly and efficient. If this was closer to us I think I would go here instead. They offer eel, yellowtail and more kinds of seaweed mix ins, which PokeHub does not. The portions are a bit smaller which is actually good so I don't feel like I am wasting food, since I can never eat the whole bowl. I did a "make your own bowl" with white rice, salmon and spicy tuna, mix ins were pineapple, jalapeño, tobiko, cucumber, seaweed and extras were seaweed salad with Shoyu sauce and spicy Mayo. It was delicious. I did wish they had not mixed the tobiko into the other stuff, but will remember to ask for it separate next time. DD got a Dragon Bowl minus edamame. She really liked hers and downed most of it. Poke is our "go to" when she is home. All in all, very solid and edged out my closer go to place.

After locating my friend, we discussed her recommended dishes since she frequented Cafesano. She eventually stated that I wouldn't be disappointed with the skewers, so, I decided to commit to the Steak and Shrimp Skewers. With the busyness of the Friday crowd, I expected there to be a wait time with ordering our meals, however, the order line essentially was non-existent, which was a win. The cashier was nice and efficient. However, when it was time for my food to come out, it took quite a bit of time. But, eventually my food came out fresh off the stove, which I appreciated. On to the taste of the dish. Unfortunately, with the promising words from my friend paired with the reviews, my expectations for this dish may have been quite high, causing immediate disappointment. I sadly felt like everything on my plate lacked flavor. The meat could have been seasoned/marinated better giving a more flavorful skewer experience. The portion size was good and price was very affordable. As it pertains to parking, the options were abundant.
