How we pick

How a restaurant gets on this list.

Annandale addresses (22003) plus the Falls Church side of Columbia Pike, Seven Corners and Baileys Crossroads, the food streets most Annandale families use.

  1. Open today. Every place was checked on the date at the top: still open, the address right. Closed places come off.
  2. Never under 3 stars. Anything rated under 3 out of 5 is left off, and the live stars from Google only bring back places rated 3 or higher.
  3. Ranked by stars and reviews together. A 4.6 from 2,000 reviews ranks above a 4.9 from 12, so one lucky week can’t top the list.
  4. New means opened in the last 12 months, with the month it opened and the news story or the restaurant’s own post behind it.
  5. Grouped by cuisine, with halal and vegetarian marked when the restaurant or a halal directory says so. “Ask about halal” means it could not be confirmed.
  6. No one pays to be here. No ads, no sponsored spots, no deals with restaurants.
  7. Refreshed every month: new openings added, closed places removed, every place checked again.
