Taste of India
1060 Millwood PikeThey have a great lunch buffet with all the expected offerings.
The de facto standard for excellent Thai in Winchester--everyone I know agrees they are great, with generous portions, friendly service, and a kid-favorite free dessert "smile". This is located on the walking mall though there is a 2nd location on Pleasant Valley which is equally good, just more of a strip mall experience.

Best Italian in Winchester, not for the location, but the food. Love this place more every visit. Their name couldn't be more perfect! Authentic food and friendly staff who welcome you into their family and from experience will make it however you like. You know--it's more like a discussion with that Italian uncle who asks everyone what they REALLY want before he recedes into his kitchen to show you how much he loves you. Menu, schmenu.

Known for good sushi, they have an excellent lunch buffet that is small, but fresh well executed. Do NOT be tempted to drive across the street to the Hibachi place which is 10X larger--they do not serve quality product.

Delicious rotisserie chicken. A sweet family runs this place, the love they put into the food is obvious. Our favorite "come home with a chicken!" place (you can buy just a chicken or grab it with sides/tortillas). Of course the rotisserie is more than Costco, but infinitely better tasting and worth supporting local. I had hoped this wouldn't happen..that I could write this review from home without feeling compelled to make the mile drive to get more Aroma. GRAB THE KEYS!

Having eaten at every Mexican place in Winchester, this one is easily the best--it's next to impossible to find consistently good Mexican food anywhere in the region. It's in an odd location, but worth the detour. Newly opened in Spring 2016.

OK, this place is a dive on a country road in nowhereland. As your car comes to a stop and you smell the smoked meats, you know it will be all good. Perfectly smoked brisket, chicken, pork, and more. All made fresh by a multi-generational family.
