Russia House Restaurant in Herndon Virginia opened in July of 1992 by Ali and Homerya Darugar, a family owned top rated local restaurant in Herndon VA. Together they created an atmosphere of aristocratic dining with a classic cuisine and a warm feeling that you are dining at your grandmother's table. Homeyra moved from Russia with her grandparents to Switzerland, where she learned to cook in her grandmother's kitchen. She brought her great culinary talents here to the United States and created the exquisite menu and served as the head chef.
