Restaurants in Kensington

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!”

“Family style meals are fantastic. Had eaten at a Greek relative's house. Ordered for the first time. Not only was the food delicious, each order fed about 8-10 people with folks having seconds. Lots of leftovers. Several asked guests made sure they had Talia's number when they left.”

“Food is consistently delicious, staff is friendly and the ambience is friendly despite being in such a small space.”

“Wonderful and delicious. The owner was very kind to accommodate me near closing time. Delicious Bim Bap Pork with side of garlic soy sauce. Great flavor and protein was delicious and lean. Would highly recommend”

“Great cuisine, my risotto was just loaded with black truffle. The menu evolves with the season, and the staff is super friendly. Few places around Olney that I'm impressed by, and I can't wait to go back.”

“Good service, great food!”

“I have been coming here for 20 years, I get the same thing each time, and for 20 years its tasted delicious and consistent every time. I hope they stay around forever, love continental!!!!!!”

“It's genuinely the best place to eat near NIH main campus, in my humble opinion. I came back two days in a row it's that good. The padang style rice platter with 2 items (rendang and spicy egg/balado telur are excellent choices) and then the soto betawi the next day. Can't wait to come back for some es campur!! Little indo grocery ❤ and bonus: gluten free and vegetarian items are clearly marked. The menu is extensive and full of gems! A must if you're in the area and you love indo and SE Asian food. The couple that run it are lovely folks.”

“First time trying. Was seated right away, but it filled up quickly after I sat.

Food came out fairly quick. It tasted very fresh and very delicious.

Definitely need to come back again.”

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅”

“Excelente ambiente , deliciosa cerveza artesanal lo mejor que he probado, muy amables todo el equipo de trabajo. Nice 😊 excelente lugar para relajarse con amigos ,tomar cerveza Y cenar.”

“Delicious sandwiches and I love the basil lemonade too! I had the tuna with capers and cream cheese today on ciabatta.”

“We've been driving all the way down to Moby Dicks at the Kentlands, and then to the new Shady Grove restaurant, from Thurmont, MD. Yes, the food is that good! Now there's one in Frederick.���”

“Tried the food here for the first time today & I can honestly say the tacos (& service!) were 🔥🔥🔥 They had a 3 tacos/$10 special & were so sweet about letting me create a veggie one using beans , cheese & veggies they had on hand. They were delicious ! Can't wait to try the birria here next!”

“Our family's favorite. Proud Crave Card powerusers! They are always coming up with new and delish flavors of ices, pops, custard, drinks, and every kind of dessert you can imagine. Plus they offer coffee and breakfast! . The Fall Gelatis are our go-to desserts. I just wish they would post the flavors of the day online, but that would be hard because there are so many!”

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!”

“I’m new to eating an actual meal at Java Nation (usually, I just grab coffee)… and boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the quality of today’s Honey Pear Beet Salad with Grilled Salmon. Slices of perfectly ripened Bosc Pear perched atop a bed of creamy Goat Cheese Fondue and crisp Mixed Greens, the plate jeweled with both Red and Golden Beets, Toasted
Almonds, and Red Onion; drizzled with Hot Honey and Apple Cider
Vinaigrette. And the Salmon was just as expertly prepared… the edges crisped, but the interior still silky. Wow, just WOW… I’ll definitely be back for more.”

“Clean and well-stocked. I have only 4 stars because they had only 1 sorbet (daiquiri) and 1 non-dairy. Delicious ice creams and beautiful ice cream cakes in all sizes.”

“First time I visited District Cafe today and the food was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back”

“The food was delicious! The atmosphere was great we sat outside and it was a beautiful night. The beer was great and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back!”

“bought whole bean bags from them at the coffee and chocolate festival. it's smooth, rich, and delicious 😋”

“The new Kensington location of Marathon Deli is the exact addition this neighborhood needed. Run by a local family who has lived in the area for decades, this is truly a family-owned business at its heart. From the moment you walk through the door, they are warm, welcoming, and genuinely joyful to have your business. You instantly feel like you are being welcomed into someone’s home.

The vibe is incredible. Everyone is visibly happy to be there, and the energy is contagious. They stay open late, which fills a massive late-night dining void in Kensington. When we went, they had fantastic live Greek music (a bit loud for quiet conversation, but full of life), followed by a great mix of music that kept the room buzzing. We ran into so many people from the local Greek community (I'm not Greek but know a few, HEY YALL), which tells you everything you need to know about the food's authenticity. We loved the experience so much that we somehow ended up coming back again the night after. The owner and his family are full of life and really just want their customers to have a good experience. The menu hits every mark:

Avgolemono Soup: My absolute favorite. Rich, comforting, perfectly balanced with lemon, and made with so much care.

Authentic Gyros: Out of this world. In an area where dining out can get expensive fast, finding a massive, delicious gyro or sandwich for around $12 is practically unheard of.Calamari Platter: Tender, crispy, and easily rivals high-end Mediterranean spots.

Wings: Crisp, sauced, and flavorful enough to give any dedicated wing place a run for their money.The Fries: Generous portions and packed with flavor.

Pro tip: whatever you take home (fries especially!) heats up beautifully crisp in an air fryer the next day.

They also offer a wine list that is thoughtful, accessible, and refreshingly affordable.

Marathon Deli is already proving to be one of the best new casual dining spots in Kensington, whether you want an authentic Greek dinner, late-night bites, or just great hospitality.”

“I love crisp & juicy. The food is always good. I eat here on a regular between the Kensington location and the silver spring location. It’s a staple in my diet at this point.”

“Wait staff are terrific! Friendly and helpful, they know my favorite order but don’t take it for granted that on Monday I will always ask for a burger!”

“Awesome awesome awesome as always. Steak and cheese is what I get there like almost everybody else.”

“I have never been so frustrated with this pension fund. I was approved inSeptember for my pension to start in October.Supposedly Oct and November check was mailed to me on November 3 or November 7 just depends on who u talk to at the pension fund This is December 1st and I still haven't received them.But December 1st pension check was deposited in my bank account. Way can't they do the same for October and November. I am at poverty level as for as income is concerned. It's my pension that I worked hard to get. I don't know what to do other than talk to attorney to g answers Where is my 2 pension checks and is how the pension works. U get it when we feel like giving it to you. I turned 65 in July 2022 when it was suppose to start. I didn't find the right pension fund until September. So the fund decides they can't or want go back to pay me.money that I work for. So they just keep it. Please tell me why? Let's get this matter taking care of before lawyer's get involved. Thank you Johnny McBrayer”

“One of my favorite local businesses. Staff is always super friendly, cheerful, and accommodating. I’m a creature of habit and drop in there maybe once a week - sometimes less, sometimes more. I always order the same dish, and they wave as I come in the front door and start working on my order even before I get to the register. Just wonderful folks.”

“Bread, pies, cookies, pastries, special confections & holiday treats - all wonderful! 🤩”

“We had a really amazing bacon cheeseburger 🍔”

“Food was overpriced and took way too long”

“Warm and friendly welcome. Delicious açaí! I would like to try more delicious bowls ❤️”

“Pryia and the team killed it tonight. Working without running AC behind an already hot grill, with nothing but good attitudes, smiles and engagement with customers! Food was cooked to perfection and delicious. We will be back.”

“Colin was exceptionally nice. Great customer service.”

“Donut King saved the day for me today! I was in search of Wi-Fi for an important work meeting after my power went out due to the snow storm. I decided to walk 1.5 miles in the snow to the Starbucks nearby only to be turned away as they were only taking drive-through customers. Thankfully I decided to walk around the corner and found Donut King was open with free Wi-Fi! The employees were so nice and friendly despite the cold. I ordered a cappuccino and logged onto my computer just in time for my meeting. My coffee was hand delivered, along with several donuts on the house, which turned out to be the only food I had for much of the day. This was an unexpected and delightful treat. Thank you, Donut King, for making my day!! I hope others will read this review and give this place a try. The food is great and the warm and welcoming atmosphere is hard to find these days. This is a neighborhood gem!! Please support local businesses and give this place a try.”

“Delivery is quick, prices are reasonable and every dish i ever tried was tasty. Prices have gone up after minimum wage increased, to be expected, but still affordable and always get 2 meals out of portions for leftovers.”

“I love the peppermint mocha.”
