Best Authentic Restaurants in Baileys Crossroads

Amazing, delicious food - would definitely go here again!! And again.

Excellent meal and service. Cozy setting with adequate table lighting. Recent Washington Post review was top notch so that moved us to check out Evelyn Rose after months of procrastination! I love that the tasting menu items can be 1) ordered a la carte and 2) not all diners need to choose that menu. More restaurants need to follow their lead. We will return for Happy Hour, always a nice way to save a few bucks. Hats off to the team, front and back of the house.

I love Ambar in Clarendon! It never disappoints. No wonder they are always the highest rated brunch in the Northern VA area. The restaurant is beautiful, great for small or large groups, the staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. I have celebrated multiple birthday's at this location (including most recent one this past November), had dinner with my family, and HHs with friends. You can't go wrong with Ambar in Clarendon! Highly recommend visiting this location, and eventually making your way to their other locations too :)

I was here in the summer for the first time and really liked the food and the service. Walter our server then recommended a really good bottle of wine. I returned this time to celebrate a friends birthday. The hostess who greeted us was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated immediately. I was pleased to see that Walter was our server and again recommended an excellent wine. The food was fabulous. We ordered multiple tapas for our group of five and each dish was excellent. Walter has a great personality and is very knowledgeable about the wide variety on the menu. All our dishes came out in a timely fashion with no delays. The noise level was moderately loud as the restaurant was completely full. The lamb, grilled octopus, peppers stuffed with beef, the cod fritters, veggies grilled with goat cheese , chorizo, papas bravas and the flan for dessert — all delicious. We never felt rushed and left 3 hours later, like the last time. Had another great experience.

Consistently good Ethiopian food. Very friendly wait staff -- will definitely return.
