Brain surgeons are name-dropped in sometimes snarky expressions. For example: “It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to run a restaurant.”
And it’s true – most restaurants are not run by brain surgeons. But the new Saahil Restaurant is. Owner Qaisar Shah is a veritable brain surgeon – specializing in a field called neurointervention.
And the Brambleton resident says he’s using some of the skills he learned in medical school to operate a restaurant that he believes is different from others in our area.
Saahil Restaurant – which specializes in Pakistani cuisine – opened this summer in the Dulles 28 Centre. That’s the big shopping plaza where the Target and Wegmans stores are.,
In a center more known for its fast-food and fast-casual restaurants – think Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Pei Wei and Potbelly – Saahil stands out for taking a different path.
His restaurant is elegant and upscale with an attention to detail that Shah says is an important part of his vision.
