Moby's

Update: There is now a Moby's at Dulles 28 as well. I haven't eaten there yet. I imagine it is about the same.

---------------------

Moby Dick House of Kabob
20020 Ashbrook Commons Plz.
Ashburn, VA 20147
(703) 858-3999

Location: Near Home Goods and AC Moore, between route 7 and Ashburn Village BlVd.

Before the Ashburn Moby's was even open, I learned about Moby's when I ate at the McLean location.

Wow this food is really good. I love the chicken platter which comes with rice and wonderfully marinated chicken and pita and a salad. I almost always get a side order of hummus and pita too. Very tasty food.

The pita is made there and it is fun to watch them kneed the dough.

The inside seating is a little cramped. So I usually eat outside or take it to go.

You order your food at the counter and when it is read they ring a bell and tell you and you pick up your order on a tray. The staff always seems a bit distracted to me but I wouldn't say unpleasant.

Amvrosia Restaurant

Update: My husband likes this place a bit more then I do. His favorite is the omelet and french fries.

43670 Greenway Corporate Drive
Ashburn, VA 20148
(703) 858-2200

Location: A couple doors down from the Panera. Shoppes at Ryan Park – Ryan Park next to Home Depot.

The problem with this place is that the food is not consistent. Sometimes it is great and sometimes not. I worry about its longevity because the place usually seems pretty empty.

The restaurant is Greek but it also has some Italian food like spaghetti and meatballs and also Pizza.

I've had great pizza here and horrible pizza as well.

I have enjoyed the meat sauce that comes with the spaghetti and meat sauce. Very flavorful.

The staff is very friendly.

You can sit outside if you'd like.

Sorrento Grill

44640 Waxpool Rd. Suite 150
Ashburn, VA 20147
Telephone:(703) 729-6999

Location: In the shopping center off of Waxpool right near Loudoun County Pkwy. 5 guys is in the same shopping center.

Mediterranean Cuisine. Fancier then Moby's. More then just kabobs. You can have large parties there.

This restaurant is beautifully decorated with glass tiled walls. They have a pretty fountain inside the restaurant. I smile whenever I walk inside.

The prices are very reasonable.

The wait staff is always friendly.

My favorite thing at Sorrento is the Red Pepper Hummus. It comes with 2 generous glops of hummus and pita and some green salad on the side. Usually I asked for more salad and just eat that as my meal.

But I have also had the soups and sandwiches and kabobs. All good.

Generously big umbrellas make sitting outside very comfortable.
