“My first time there but food was delicious“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“This place was amazing. The belly dancing was a great addition and really enhanced the atmosphere. I would have loved to hear more cultural music, such as Turkish hip-hop or Arabic tracks. The waitstaff worked seamlessly together to keep the tables clean and everything running smoothly. The food was paced perfectly, which gave us time to relax and truly enjoy the experience without feeling hurried. Reservations on the weekend are a must; everyone wants to be there.“

“I don’t typically write reviews, good or bad, however our experience at Xenia on Oct 12th has changed my mind. We were in the area from Boston just for the night and learned of Xenia through our hotels concierge. It was amazing and probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding and prepared beautifully. We had the Spanikopita, Greek salads, shrimp saganaki, and lamb riblets. All very tasty and expertly prepared. What really did it though was the on point service offered by Mary (Maris). Her efficiency, attention to details, thoughtful presentation of the menu, was a 15 out of 10! She is a super star! We were delightfully surprised by the restaurant’s generous hospitality when they sent us a dessert sampler compliments of the house because we were out of state first timers. I only wish weren’t 5+ hours away, as we would be fast regulars for sure!“

“I stopped by this spot for brunch with some friends. The wait time was decent when I arrived, but this place gets packed quickly. The food was pretty good, I tried the eggs benedict and they came out perfect. The home fries were good as well. We were served well and attended to thoroughly by the staff. Overall, this spot was good and will def be going back!“

Compliments to Leena, the hostess, and the chefs who prepared the meal and provided such an amazing experience for our first time coming there. Thank you!“

“We stopped by SHAHS HALAL in Laurel and everything was amazing! We had the fish gyro and the falafel gyro with fries — all of it was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The owner was so kind and even gave me a portion of lamb with tzatziki sauce and cilantro, which was absolutely delicious! You can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service, we’ll definitely be back!“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“David’s at Maryland Live completely exceeded my expectations! The food came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The service was fast, friendly, and super attentive. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late-night meal, David’s always delivers. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, and everything we ordered tasted amazing. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the casino“
