I LOVE Sheba. Total gem. Exception on the vegetarian front.

Sfizi in Falls Church.

I love that place, and wish we had gone more when we lived in FCC. I feel like it gets overlooked because of Thompson Italian or something.

Northwest Chinese in College Park isn’t really hidden but it is definitely a gem.

Also Panda Gourmet on NY Ave, if you don’t mind the somewhat sketchy location.

In the vein of gas station restaurants, I literally am eating takeout right now from Chit Chaat Cafe in Vienna (at the gas station at the corner of Maple and Park). Not sure it's anything super special, but always in and out fast, and hits the spot when I'm craving Indian.
