2 Best Restaurants in Northern Virginia, Virginia

Authentic, friendly, and local, the Kabob Palace is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The chicken, lamb, and spicy beef kabobs are cooked to perfection and best dipped in chutney sauce and chased with a bite of naan. The sides vary, but rice and chickpeas are usually favorites.

Out in Del Ray, this Wisconsin-style frozen custard shop was a local family favorite long before President Obama came in with his daughters for a Father's Day treat. The Dairy Godmother features daily flavors of custard and sorbet like maple walnut or strawberry balsamico, as well as sweets like homemade marshmallows and cool treats for dogs.
