How we pick
How a restaurant gets on this list.
Sterling addresses (20164 and 20166): Dulles Town Center, Route 28, Route 7 and Community Plaza. Potomac Falls and the Cascades area have their own page.
- Open today. Every place was checked on the date at the top: still open, the address right. Closed places come off.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- No one pays to be here. No ads, no sponsored spots, no deals with restaurants.
- Refreshed every month: new openings added, closed places removed, every place checked again.
