The dhaba is open in Sterling
Toosso brings the bold, unapologetic spirit of Lahore and Karachi street food to Northern Virginia — halal, made from scratch, no shortcuts.
Toosso | Our Story
Where the dhaba idea came from
On the streets of Lahore and Karachi, a dhaba is a counter, a fire, and a pot that's been going since before you arrived. Toosso carries that energy to Sterling — undiluted.
The slow-cooked classics
Nihari and haleem take time, patience, and the right spices in the right order. Toosso's nihari comes in 32-oz portions — tender meat in a deeply spiced stew with a devoted Loudoun County following.
The roti rolls
Handmade roti, filled and wrapped fresh daily — the rolls drew Washingtonian praise for being a creative take on Pakistani cuisine that still honors its roots. They're a staple, not a side act.
Weekend halwa puri
Saturday and Sunday mornings mean one thing: halwa puri — puffed golden puri, sweet halwa, spiced chanay, and aloo bhujia. A tradition in Pakistan, and a tradition here.
Loudoun County noticed — so did Eater
Eater DC covered Toosso's expansion. What Leena Did called out its "funky yet traditional vibe" — a description that gets it exactly right.
