Anthony’s Opens in Ashburn

recently expanded and opened a new restaurant in Ashburn Village Shopping Center last month.

Brothers Tony Keya and Shafi Naimi run the family-owned eatery, which first opened in Purcellville more than four years ago, which coincided with a sluggish economy. Even so, the restaurant succeeded.

“We love Ashburn and we have always wanted to open a restaurant here," Keya said.

Naimi said the key to their success centers on “fresh, homemade ingredients, homemade sauces, breads and pastas, our low prices and of course excellent customer service.”

The restaurant offers outdoor patio seating and schedules live music every Thursday night.

“We have always had restaurants in our family for many years,"Keya said. "I love to cook and it is one of my hobbies. I will be cooking in Ashburn several nights a week.”

The large menu offers Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, with items ranging from hummus and kebobs to veal parmigiana and chicken piccata, with prices for entrees ranging from $10 to $18.

Anthony's also makes pizza, hot and cold subs, gyros, calzones, soups and salads.

“We love the family-friendly atmosphere in Loudoun County," Keya said. "So far, we are pleased with the business and it has been great.”
