FOOD & DRINK GUIDE Glo bal As Loudoun grows, superb ethnic eateries, many run by immigrant chefs, open across the county. With palates from all corners of the globe, these restaurants serve plates to match. INDIAN Udaipur-born Chef Deepak Sarin once helmed the leading Indian restaurant chain in London. At Bhai Sahab in Lansdowne, he delivers the authentic north Indian cuisine of his homeland, including a traditional Rajasthani “thali” every Thursday. This vegetarian mélange of sauces, curries, fritters, lentils and breads that is served communally and eaten by hand has foodies lined up around the block. MIDDLE EASTERN The Sahara is a desert in Africa but the food at Sahara Restaurant Lounge in Sterling – grape leaves, falafel, tabouleh, chicken shawarma, succulent lamb kabob – is delectably Lebanese. Diners sit at low-slung lantern-lit tables and Arabic music fills the air. Bhai Sahab FLAVORS Family FORD’S FISH SHACK Tony Stafford’s welcoming New England-style seafood icon with outposts in Ashburn, Lansdowne and South Riding does superb lobster rolls, oysters, crab cakes and, for land lovers, the Ford's Cheddar Cheese Burger with the best thin fries. 32 | VisitLoudoun.org ALL IN THE
