Amphora is a 24 hour diner and bakery owned by a Greek family. The Amphora in Herndon is the second of two Amphora restaurants. The older Vienna location has been a Northern Virginia institution for decades. They are best known for their 24 hour breakfast service, but they also serve many American classics, as well as a wide selection of Greek dishes such as felafel, souvlaki, moussaka, pastichio and much more. The service is friendly and efficient. Reviewed 10/05

One of very very few options for late food in the area. Unfortunately we were not happy with our dinner. I have had breakfast here too and it is much better. If its not too late (i.e. before 3am on the weekend) you are much better off going down to the Silver Diner.

Amphora is definitely the culinary anchor of Herndon/Reston. While there are many other good restaurants in the area, Amphora has something for everyone, at anytime of day, and the food is always fantastic. Not suprisingly, every single greek/mediterranean dish is delicious. Try the gyros, souvlaki, felafel or aegean sandwich. You will not be disappointed. The triple mediterranean delight appetizer is amazing and the pita bread is homemade and by far the best pita bread I've ever had. I could eat it by itself and be happy. Non-greek highlights are their omlettes, cakes/pastries and the peanut butter pancakes.

My wife and I moved into this area from southern Virginia. We where looking for a good breakfast spot to eat.Amphora's Diner Deluxe is that place. The food was GREAT, the service was awsome, and the speed at which we recieved our food was amazing.At first I was a ittle sceptical about how fast it was served, then I tasted it,WOW thats all I can say.The atmosphere was great, not your typical Saterday morning diner, the staff greeted you, the waitress took time to "talk" to you and get your order right. We now have a NEW favorite place to eat.

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area. The only place I go for breakfast. The food is always very good, and serving sizes are big. The staff is very friendly. Their cakes are the best! Just go there for desert some night... Washingtonian Magazine rated Amphora best late night restaurant 2007.
