Restaurants in Bethesda

“Great space which would be perfect for events. very good service. Fish tacos and beef birria tacos excellent. Al pastor were unfortunately dried out and bad. Shrimp tacos were underwhelming. Esquites good.”

“I came here on a Sunday evening during Restaurant Week, but we wanted to try more dishes so we opted for a couple of them from the regular menu. My favorites were the mixed spread and dolma, as well as the sumac lemonade. Our server, Abdullah, was excellent! The whole dining experience was great from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!”

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!”

“This is a great cocktail bar that also happens to have pretty good food! The only thing holding this review from being 5 stars is that the owner needs to assign more staff to the Saturday evening shift. There was 25-30 customers between 6:30 and 8pm on a Saturday, but only TWO employees working outside the kitchen. No host, no busser, no server. Just ONE waiter and ONE bartender during prime time dinner hours. The bartender was serving food instead of bartending and the waiter was frantically trying to take orders from 10+ tables. No one was bussing (dirty tables were left unattended until new customers arrived) and you had to find the waiter or bartender in order to get a seat. I hope the owner or manager sees this because I felt so bad for the two staff trying to run the front house of this restaurant on a Saturday night. They were doing their best and deserve more help so they can provide better service to customers.”

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!”

“Today I tried maman for the first time, I ordered a cappuccino, and the barista Lexi prepared it exquisitely, the staff is very friendly and the place is very clean and elegant, I highly recommend it”

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.”

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration”

“The food is fresh and tastes great. The ambiance is relaxed. The music is knit too loud and good for conversations. The staff is courteous. This is a great place for a meet up for families, kids, friends and individuals.”

“Amazing food and service!”

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.”

“Great food, fun atmosphere. Miguel was the best! Would visit again!”

“They have a wide variety of healthy food. Especially, their smoothies. They are out of this world and healthy for you. You need to check this place out.”

“Frigging amazing pizza. Crust was crispy and a chewable seasoned bite. I usually hate the bread part of the pizza but I savored every bite. I know pizza. I've worked in pizzarias and make my own from time to time. My kids ask me to get deliverey from this place.”

“Great place mainly for take away with limited seating. I tried the vegetarian plate and leek bolanee (pastry). The veg plate has chickpeas , pumpkin and eggplant - hard to decide what is best. I chose the dish with freshly baked afgan bread but you can have rice too. The bolanee is a thin fried pastry - will get it again and next time I'll try the kabobs.”

“This was our first visit, I definitely won’t be our last. The food was delicious, and our server, Lara, was incredibly helpful in explaining the menu and she made some great recommendations.”

“Very authentic and tasty soup dumplings. A lot of the other main dishes like the sour cabbage fish noodle soup and mustard green and tofu dish are also fantastic.”

“I had never been to Delhi Spice before, but I randomly chose it because we were hosting good friends from Virginia who love Indian food. And I'm glad I did. The food was excellent and everyone loved the dumplings and the sauce. The menu is varied and we enjoyed our selections. Olga, our server, was nice and friendly and very professional. She suggested the Ruple beer which went great with my meal. The place is small, which was perfect for us, and has ample parking in the back.”

“A highly enjoyable meal. The menu was as we remembered from past visits and we visit revisited some old favorites as well as trying the daily special. Always excellent. The waiter and other staff were highly attentive. We will definitely return again.”

“This restaurant is always a treat! If you’re craving authentic, delicious Peruvian food, you’ve come to the right spot! The service is top-notch, and the food is simply exquisite. Our server, Ahmed, was truly outstanding! Very attentive, knowledgeable, and made some fantastic recommendations. Great atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful service.”

“Amazing food, presentation and price. Everyone was super friendly. If you’re looking for a place to sit down with a friend and talk for an hour or two, this is the place to do it.”

“I just had my 2nd absolutely DELICIOUS Indian dinner at Virraaj on Cordell. My husband noticed what he thought was a new restaurant across from the public parking last week so we went there for our Wednesday date nite. We went earlyish and only a couple other tables were taken when we arrived but by the time we left at 6:30 ish it was just about full so best to make reservations. Even with many diners, it was still easy to talk to each other and be heard. I started w/ the AAM Palak Chaat appetizer which I had first tasted at Rasika and have ordered every time I have seen it on a menu. Definitely rivaled Rasika's and the portion was big enough to share w/ my husband as an appetizer. My main was the Murgh Bahak/ Kadai Chicken. So tender, so tasty with onion and green and red bell peppers, delicious brown sauce w/ terrific spices plus a little spicy kick. I ate as much as I could and still had left overs for 2 lunches at home. My husband ordered a lamb dish he enjoyed and finished every morsel including the rice. I saw some reviewers would have liked more rice. We had plenty with our meals so maybe they are giving more w/ each dinner. The waiter was attentive, professional, courteous and nice. The restaurant itself was classy & beautifully appointed - you could tell someone put a great deal of thought and money into designing it. This week we had friends visit who live in VA, within walking distance to Clarendon. We always go there for Indian food because there are so many good Indian restaurants to choose from but they were excited to try Virraaj from our comments about how much we enjoyed it. Before ordering takeout, I called and spoke to Jenni 3 times because I wanted to order what I had ordered last week but couldn't remember the name. She could not have been kinder or more patient in helping me figure out that it was the Kadhai Chicken. It may not seem like it from this review but I am a picky eater - happy to pay any price (just about ) for good food but am too often disappointed in Bethesda. Virraag got the highest marks on everything important to me: service, food, and ambiance - all of us enjoyed our meals and noone was disappointed. We ordered pickup for 4 main dishes including my fav Murgh Bahak/Kadai Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tawa Masala and Hariyal Murgh Tikka, naan and roti. All went on 2 big lazy susans on the dining room table and we kept on spinning, tasting and enjoying. The wife of the other couple always orders the Butter Chicken and kept on saying how moist and delicious the chicken was tonight. We all tried and liked everything - - not one complaint. So glad that we have a great Indian restaurant to go to and take friends to and not worry that anyone is not going to enjoy -- it is that good!”

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for”

“Food was excellent, service was great!”

“Amazing service. Extremely accommodating to us and helpful trying to help us keep our babies in the party happy. Definitely recommend for the service alone but would also recommend solely based on the food as well. Chicken soup was great and chicken tawook was the best Ive ever had. Super flavorful and juicy”

“Delicious food, resonable price for Bethesda, and even better service. The restaurant is clean and the decor is updated. If you need dairy-free Indian food, the staff will go out of your way to make food with coconut milk instead of cow milk. There are also a number of gluten-free items on the menu. They can either serve heavily-buttered roti or roti without butter. Both options are delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“Food and service are excellent in-house and just as good for delivery or carryout. They care about your first bite and the rest of the meal. Q lives up to its reputation. Thank you!”

“Gregorio’s is somewhere I can always feel at home with friends and family. The food is excellent and the feeling is always welcoming.”

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.”

“Great Indian-Nepalese restaurant in Bethesda. Ordered the chicken Biryani along with Chili chicken and garlic naan. The Biryani was well prepared and fresh. The chili chicken had an abundance of flavor. It wasn't too spicy either. Our server was very kind and gracious. Will come back next time I'm between Baltimore and DC.Best food and best service”

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.”

“Awesome juices!! Greta customer service as well. Will be back!”

“Amazing tasty dishes and friendly service. My family loves the Old Gtown Wrap!”

“Called on the phone and ordered sandwich. Told then how I wanted it. They did it perfectly mortadela provolone, sun dried tomatoes and lots of olive oil. Five stars great job . Keep up the good work.”

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.”

“Great food, really enjoy the chilaquiles and tacos. Beware the space inside is small with limited seating outside. Also, while their published hours on the storefront door are M-F 8a to 4pm and Sa 8a to 1pm, they will not officially open the restaurant doors until 8:30am on Saturday and stop service around 12:30 based on my experience with them.”

“The cookies at Levain Bakery were fresh out of the oven and absolutely delicious. I tried the signature Chocolate Chip Walnut and the Two Chip, and the Two Chip was easily my favorite—crispy on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle, with chocolate melting everywhere. Service was fast, and the staff was very friendly. Fresh, warm, and exactly what you want from a bakery cookie!”

“Great food! Fast and attentive service! Clean and pleasant environment!”

“Hello Sir, I accept your proposal.”

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!”

“😋Outstanding food! Everything was amazing!”

“Great service. Best crabs I’ve had all year- big & full!”

“The service was excellent”

“I go to this Cava at Bethesda Row fairly often and the service, primarily from the FANTASTIC manager Manuel is what truly keeps me coming back. Thank you to the phenomenal staff of Cava Bethesda Row!”

“I’ve lived in the DMV for 13 years and take visitors here. They love it. Not many greasy spoons this good still around and no greasy spoons with this atmosphere. Great staff and lots of regulars. If you’re in the area for lunch, grab a cheesesteak.”

“This is a charming locally owned café that offers exceptionally fresh food and coffee - they roast and grind their own beans on site. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the owners take the time to truly greet every customer of which there are many regulars. I am thrilled to have a wonderful place to go whenever I'm in Bethesda. I've been twice so far and plan to frequent more often ❤”

“Warm and casual atmosphere.”

“Thank you,Great food with very nice and friendly staff. Love this Lilit cafe”

“Delicious, serious, fast, tasty. And they donate their day-old bagels to food pantries & shelters!”

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!”

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!”

“Best restaurant in Bethesda with the very best hospitality and kindness you could ask for. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and never left disappointed. Will continue coming here forever. If you’ve never tried it please do, it’ll become your new classic spot.”

“I love this place ! Food and ambiance is amazing ! Today we had Enrique, he was great ! Service was top tier quality and he was very cool. Hope come back soon and experience this again !”

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.”

“Best rooftop in Bethesda. Beautiful sunsets and fabulous cocktails! 🍸”

“This was the worst service ever here and I have not been back since the last bad service..I took a friend here from Philly and took forever to get waited on. appetizer was not fully cooked.Pizza came out.... my pasta never made it out. never heard a word from the manager ..how sad. male employees were constantly occupying the men's room...the waitress is the only one what was apologetic..my friend from Philly was not impressed and I left mad and disappointed. my third time with this location. Gregorio kishketon”

“Olazzo catered a recent birthday party for us. Everything about the experience was first rate. Scott Crivella was extremely helpful in finagling the menu. The food was delivered right on time and was ready to serve. Our guests were delighted with the chicken Marsala, mango salmon, penne marinara, antipasto platter and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.”

“Food as expected. Traditional Americanized Chinese restaurant. Really don't love a tip being pushed on me when picking up considering that we already tipped when ordering.”

“If you are looking for ramen in the DMV. This is the place to go. I’ve been going here for some years now and it’s far from me but worth the drive and closer than flying to Japan when I want some ramen. The staff you can tell eat, sleep and dream about their craft which you can taste in every bowl they make. I’ve had ramen in Japan and this is one of the closest places I’ve been to that remind me of Japan. So below is a collection of different special ramens that they do during certain times.”

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.”

“Amazing yogurt shop! I came here with a kid I was babysitting, and the staff was awesome, the atmosphere was nice, and they had a great selection, and the kid really enjoyed the yogurt!”

“I’m from Houston, Texas, and I’ve been struggling to find a good deli since coming to the Bethesda area. Woodmont Deli absolutely delivered!

I ordered the #16 Italian Cut, and the quality of the sandwich was amazing. The ingredients tasted fresh, the sandwich was packed with flavor, and it was exactly the kind of deli sandwich I’ve been looking for.

I’m honestly impressed and will definitely be coming back. If you’re in Bethesda and looking for a legit, quality deli sandwich, I highly recommend giving Woodmont Deli a try!”

“Great place for good eat .”

“One of the best pizzas in the DMV. Salads are good too. Clam pizza is great if you eat it there or have a very short delivery time from pickup to home. Every other pizza travels really well. Highly recommend this pizza for regular rotation!”

“Truly a local downtown Bethesda gem. Sandwiches are the best in town - fresh and unique. The Italian pastrami remains my favorite. I look forward to trying their prepared Italian meals, I'm sure they will be fantastic.”

“always consistently good food”

“Sam is absolutely amazing at baking cakes, she has been making cakes for my family's special birthdays for the past 10 yrs. She never fails to amazing me with her skills and attention to detail! Thank you so much Sam! October is the next one😉”

“I love this place...it will always be Good Guys to me.”

“Team was super thoughtful and knowledgeable of menu, it was my first time going here and they definitely helped me out a ton explaining the different options. Great place.”

“Jean’s Deli is the kind of place I’d frequent almost daily if I worked in the area. For its modest size, the restaurant boasts an extensive menu of hearty fare (hot/cold sandwiches, burgers, breakfast items), as well as fresh salads, a fruit bar, and other lighter options. Everything we’ve tried is seasoned just right with generous portions, and the produce they use is unfailingly fresh. The deli’s been run by the same owners for the past 35 years, a couple with the kindest demeanor who put meticulous care into everything they make and serve. If you work nearby or are simply passing through, bookmark this spot and give it a visit.”

“Best baristas ever , Eddie, and Abby”

“I got the double berry bowl with a coconut base and it was delicious ! The toppings all tasted so fresh and refreshing and the peanut butter and nutella on top made it taste like a sweet treat ! Would recommend and come back ! The employee at the front of the store was also friendly !”

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.”

“Food was super delicious! 100% recommended and a 5 ⭐️ rating!”

“The food tastes really good but the portion has become significantly smaller than before (think there’s been a change of ownership). Given all the options in the area, you don’t get much value for your money. 3.5 stars”

“Had the most beautiful coffee moment this morning with Hasifa. She is an elegant and lovely woman. Starbucks is lucky to have her as an ambassador of its business.”

“I wanted to like Spanish Diner since I'm a huge fan of Jaleo and of Jose Andres, but the food was so lacking in finesse and taste, even for a diner. Patatas bravas was drowning in tomato sauce (I could barely taste the potato or aoli) and the bacalao over eggplant and tomato sauce had little flavor. The ham and cheese was tasty, but nothing to say "Spain" about it...mediocre food accompanied by a hefty price tag will keep me from going back. I'm so sad that Jose Andres missed the mark on this one, unfortunately.”

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.”

“Olazzo catered a recent birthday party for us. Everything about the experience was first rate. Scott Crivella was extremely helpful in finagling the menu. The food was delivered right on time and was ready to serve. Our guests were delighted with the chicken Marsala, mango salmon, penne marinara, antipasto platter and bruschetta. Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.”

“The salad at $8.50 was overpriced. It had a quarter of a tomato, just a few onions, and hardly any other veggies. The bread was tasteless. It was served cold and the crust was too soft. The main course of linguine and clams was fine. The service was a little slow.”

“Great Indian-Nepalese restaurant in Bethesda. Ordered the chicken Biryani along with Chili chicken and garlic naan. The Biryani was well prepared and fresh. The chili chicken had an abundance of flavor. It wasn't too spicy either. Our server was very kind and gracious. Will come back next time I'm between Baltimore and DC.Best food and best service”

“This place closed?!? Awful news. Wish the folks who worked there all the best.”

“Sammie provided superb service for our lunch today! I really appreciated her problem-solving, can-do spirit, thoughtfulness and kindness!”

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I agree with the positive comments on the food; had two taco platters yesterday. Take out didn't travel well, although tried to be careful, so next time I will get bowls or delivery. Owner, please provide a ramp; handicapped customers have difficulty on the steps, and door is extremely difficult to open. It is very heavy; also squeaks; lubricate hinges. Both employees seemed depressed; no smiles, barely answered questions.”

“Griffin is an outstanding waiter. He served us on .Thanksgiving. He is gracious, kind and top notch. One od the nicest people I have met.”

“The food is fresh and tastes great. The ambiance is relaxed. The music is knit too loud and good for conversations. The staff is courteous. This is a great place for a meet up for families, kids, friends and individuals.”

“Great place for good eat .”

“Silver Diner was its usual lively self. My first visit since pre-pandemic but nothing has changed. We requested an indoor booth by the window and, despite their being very busy, it was ours. Service was efficient. Food was above average. I was excited that they still had shakes on the menu!”

“It is a good place to eat and have fun.”

“The crab dip is AMAZING!!!! This is a must get appetizer. The fried shrimp roll was okay and the fries were over cooked. Overall beautiful aesthetic and good service!”

“Fantastic food, attentive service, and ambient setting. Such a fantastic spot”

“Sammie provided superb service for our lunch today! I really appreciated her problem-solving, can-do spirit, thoughtfulness and kindness!”

“We just had the thanksgiving dinner and I was phenomenal!!!! I will definitely love this restaurant!!!”

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.”

“The food is fresh and tastes great. The ambiance is relaxed. The music is knit too loud and good for conversations. The staff is courteous. This is a great place for a meet up for families, kids, friends and individuals.”

“One of the best pizzas in the DMV. Salads are good too. Clam pizza is great if you eat it there or have a very short delivery time from pickup to home. Every other pizza travels really well. Highly recommend this pizza for regular rotation!”

“Amazing food with great service. I ordered the nigiri 10 pc dinner and the fish was fresh and great quality. My server yuka was friendly and took amazing care of us, definitely would recommend coming here”

“The best bubble tea ever! BUT they could have a better service… the girls are always in a bad mood, no talking, no smiles, no interaction at all. It’s so uncomfortable.”

“The pastry selection at Paris Baguette made it easy to put together a little breakfast spread. We tried the almond croissant, ham and cheese pastry, and a slice of strawberry cake. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers with a sweet almond filling, while the ham and cheese pastry was savory and filling. The strawberry cake was light with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything looked fresh, and the variety made it easy to find something for everyone.”

“So happy my son and I found this beautiful little gem! Their twist on a breakfast burrito was amazing and my son ate every little bit of his sausage, egg and cheese as well as his chocolate croissant.
We’ll definitely find ourselves back here more and more.”

“Great,have everything to eat,i like it.”

“Owner is a super great guy! We were visiting the metro area and ate twice on our stay. The bacon cheeseburger eggrolls are superior! Everything else we had was great as well!”

“Really good and different! Had the short-rib pastrami and it was fantastic!! Great taste, perfect texture, and the mustard sauce was the perfect compliment. Their house pickled veggies added a really nice touch. The deviled eggs are not to be missed! Smoky, but not overbearingly so. The wife had the pastrami spiced portobello and was very impressed. Guys in the truck were super nice and very patient. They were out front of Baby Cat brewery in Kensington the day we went by. Will be keeping track of where they're going to be - will definitely return!!”

“Since checking this place out, I have become a regular customer, and now come in 1-2x a week for a grocery restock. I have had no time to cook since the new year and had been eating out almost every meal.... but there are so few places around with healthy options. I am so picky about what fruits and veggies, organic items, etc. that I eat, and thankfully sprouts has provided great options for that! The baristas/cashiers are always so helpful and kind to us. Some of my favorites are-- ALL of the soups (seriously that chicken and rice is perfection, especially if you are under the weather), turkey chili, thai wrap, veggie wrap, egg roll in a bowl, drunken noodles, bbq chicken and succotash, the vitality ginger drink (that spice burns but feels good!), the challah and sourdough bread, eskimo bites for a treat, and the strawberry blondie brownies! I am trying new things as the menu changes, but these have been on my constant restock when available of what I have had so far!! I recently learned they can heat the items for you, so you can eat a hot meal there (I have not done this yet myself, as this is like grocery shopping for me so i take it home... but i have seen lots of people in there enjoying their meals!) I have seen some complain about the prices, but if you know the quality of what you are getting (local, organic), then you would realize these are very fair prices! If I have ever wanted to request something or had a slight issue, Sprouts has always been more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Sprouts for providing great service and food options to the community! You will see me again soon! Gluten free, Dairy free, or Flexitarian, check them out!”

“The dumplings were honestly the best I’ve had! They were packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and definitely a 10/10. The prices were also amazing for the quality and portion size.

We also tried the Beef Noodle Soup, and it was absolutely delicious rich, flavorful, and so comforting. The only dish we didn’t love was the Peanut Noodles. They weren’t bad, but compared to everything else, they just didn’t stand out and weren’t really our favorite.

Overall, I would absolutely come back for the dumplings and the Beef Noodle Soup. Highly recommend!”

“Always love getting their grilled chicken, and Carlos always brings a smile to my face whenever he works. Jose got me hooked on their Pollo sauce and I keep begging them to sell the sauce in a jar (lol) love the friendly staff and the Bethesda spot is by far my favorite location”

“Delicious slices. Each one: Funghi, Sedwick (white pizza with chives, and a touch of truffle honey), standard. Best pizza in Bethesda. Crust was thin, nice chew, fragrant and flavorful. So happy to find NY-NJ style pizza locally!”

“This will be my new breakfast spot! I got an iced mocha, their breakfast platter and a pastry to-go, all tasty. Worked remote today and wanted a late breakfast. The place was clean and service exceptional.”

“On St Elmo brings something genuinely fresh to Bethesda’s nightlife scene. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elevated, modern, and intimate. The lighting, decor, and layout strike the perfect balance between swanky and social. Cocktails are delicious and the menu is on point. High-energy enough to create a vibe, but not so loud that you can’t hold a conversation. On St Elmo is the kind of place Bethesda has been missing.”

“We loved the Kensington location and are glad they opened in Bethesda. I know there are complaints about the noise from folks who live above the courtyard. It can get noisy, but, hey, it's a bar. Also lots of complaints about the kids. There are tons of kids at this place, but it's the same at Ktown. And, frankly, I just ignore the kids. Who cares? For the most part the families keep to themselves, so it's not like they're running around underfoot. The food isn't too exciting. Pub grub mainly. Though the onion rings are worth it for sure. This place is about the beer, which is good and interesting. Staff are knowledgeable and engaging. The patio on a good day is wonderful. This is a fun, laid back brewery with reliable taps and a cat you can pet if it so chooses.”

“The app “Mira on the phone “ gives me a high score in vitality after the breakfast there. We had frittata, Apple cake, my kids like the cake better. I got Americano”
