Mighty Khan’s: Hot and Healthy Mongolian Grill in Herndon

September 23, 2014 by

Putting a healthy spin on truly fast food, Mighty Khan’s brings a unique Mongolian barbecue experience to Herndon. Begin by filling a bowl from a salad-bar-style line with your choice of meats, under the sea selections, vegetarian-friendly tofu, and fresh-cut veggies. A pro tip: don’t be shy when it comes to building a mountainous bowl, as you are only limited to as much as your bowl can carry. Finish your custom creation off with your choice of over a dozen spices and sauces and decide your stir fry’s ultimate fate – will it be a spicy, blazing hot blend, a cayenne-infused coconut curry, or a tangy sweet and sour mix? End you bowl’s journey at the sprawling, sizzling grill, where grill warriors toss its contents with Mongolian barbecue swords, sauteeing and searing to perfection.

Mighty Khan’s sprawling dining room and speedy service make it a perfect spot for a lunch on-the-go, and the upbeat, fast-paced atmosphere create an excellent venue to start a night on the town or a fun family dinner.

Russia House Restaurant: Enjoy European Fare in Herndon

September 16, 2014 by

Just beyond a solitary wooden door in the lobby of an unassuming office building lies the elegant dining room of Russia House Restaurant. Here you can enjoy one of Herndon's most distinctive dining experiences.

A slight French influence, historically typical of Russian cuisine, is detectable in offerings such as the large portion of chateaubriand, thick-cut fillet, laden with a rich béarnaise sauce. The menu also offers a variety of caviar, served with toast or thin crepe-like bliny, and heavier entrees like creamy beef stroganoff and beef-stuffed cabbage leaves served with tomato sauce. The service is sharp but operates at a more relaxed pace, allowing guests time to enjoy the meal at leisure.

Russia House also offers an extensive vodka list – long enough to warrant its own menu – including many fine top-shelf brands and their own house-infused flavored varieties. The lengthy list of cocktails includes house martinis sweet enough to be dessert and some hot coffee-based cocktails certain to warm your spirits.
