Full restaurant buyout

Exclusive use of the dining room, the coffee bar, and our team for the length of your event. Your guests, your music, your timing — and a menu built with you.

Best for corporate dinners, iftars, engagement parties, and milestone celebrations that want the room to themselves.

Serving Fairfax and all of Northern Virginia

SimSim sits on Main Street in the heart of Fairfax City, minutes from George Mason University, the Mosaic District, and Fairfax Corner. Guests come to us from across Fairfax County — Vienna, Tysons, McLean, Falls Church, Annandale, Burke, Springfield, Centreville, Chantilly, Reston, Herndon, Oakton, and Merrifield.

We also host groups from Arlington, Alexandria, Manassas, Ashburn, and Sterling, and from across the DMV — Washington, DC and the Maryland suburbs of Bethesda, Silver Spring, and Rockville. Free parking and an easy drive from I-66 and Route 50 make us a simple meeting point for a spread-out guest list.

Private event questions

Yes. A full buyout gives you exclusive use of the dining room and the coffee bar for the length of your event. Tell us the date and guest count and we will confirm availability and a quote.

We do not have a separate walled room. We offer a semi-private reserved section of the dining room for groups, and a full restaurant buyout when you want the room entirely to yourselves.

Deposits and minimums depend on the date, the size of the group, and whether it is a buyout or a reserved section. They are discussed per event and confirmed in writing with your quote, so there are no surprises.

Yes. All meat served at SimSim is 100% halal, on every event menu and every dish on the regular menu.

No. SimSim is an alcohol-free venue. Our drinks list includes house lemonade, virgin mojitos, uzvar, ayran, karkadeh, and pots of tea, all made to order.

Yes. We deliver platters, grilled meats, mezze, and desserts to offices, homes, mosques, and halls across Northern Virginia and the DMV. Send us a catering request through the form on this site and we will reply with a menu and a quote.

For a reserved section, a week or two ahead is usually enough. Full buyouts, Ramadan iftars, and December dates fill faster, so reach out as early as you can and we will hold the date while we build your menu.

Very much so. Family gatherings are what our platters are made for, and there is plenty on the menu — varenyky, syrnyky, chicken shawarma, mlyntsi with Nutella — that children love.
