Restaurants in Laurel

“First time having and very impressed! I got the Chicken Tikka pizza and combo over rice and it’s amazing. This is the best pizza I have ever had! A plus because it’s Halal”

“Brandon is very nice and the food was very good??”

“We walked into a clean restaurant. Immediatky greeted and sat. Everyone was smiling. The server was very helpful and suggesred great options. Our food came on a robot followed by the manager herself. THE FOOD WAS PERFECT! the bathrooms were clean and we were very impressed!we will back often!”

“We have gotten carry out/delivery from Bella for a few years now. Love the Chicken Tikka Pizza and Samosa Chaat, especially. The only dish that seems to miss the mark is the Bindi Masala - the okra is really fibrous,;ended up not finishing the dish because it was way too stringy to chew; we've ordered it twice now and are reluctant to try a third time. Hopefully it was just a bad batch of the veg?”

“Good food and beautiful environment with good music”

“My wife and I visit regularly. We've never had a bad Café Miel. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere has been home to many wonderful conversations. We enjoy the food as well. Highly recommend!”

“The Cadillac margarita was amazing and so was the chicken burrito bowl! The staff was very attentive and the food was priced well. very authentic and very amazing! 5 stars!!”

“Omg this is my second time getting the Mediterranean Market Salad and it is sooo good and 100% vegan! The only downside is that it is so small and I feel that for the price (around $17.00) it should be a little bigger. Otherwise, very delicious. Customer service was great too.”

“Consistently excellent food. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We have been ordering from Kake Korner for years and have never been disappointed. They designed my wedding cake and so many other special occasion cakes for us, always delicious.”

“I had jerk sandwich and a piece of rum cake before shopping.Very delicious 😋”

“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!”

“👋🏼 I absolutely love Famous Dave's. They have the BEST! ribs around town! 🤩💯💥 we had the family platter. The baked beans, coleslaw, 🌽 and muffins are so flavorful! 😋 The brisket was so tender I didn't even need a knife! sorry, I forgot to take a Pic of the food because I just dived right in! On the 🥔 potatoe wedges! My baby girl helped herself to a plate full of ribs! 😋 This location was AMAZING! #Mynewspot”

“This is a little cozy spot. Seems like there are local regulars here and it's family run. So I knew the food wouldn't disappoint and it sure didn't. The food here tastes very homemade and clean without compromising on taste.

Soft Chicken Tacos (8/10) - From the very first bite I knew it was fresh and everything tasted spot on. The rice and beans were decent too.

Chimichanga (9.5/10) - This was probably the best thing I've had here. It's perfectly delicious, wasn't overly greasy and heavy. It was perfect. This one might be the go to for most people.

Patron Platter (9/10) - This dish was also spot on, but the pork tamale 🫔 was just what it needed to be a complete dish. A great option if you're feeling a variety of food.

Tres Leches (8/10) - While this wasn't the best I've had, it by no means disappointed. The cake was good but more importantly it was sweetened perfectly. I've been to too many spots that over do it, so it was nice to find a spot that gets it right for a change. I recommend this one for dessert.”

“Went there with my wife and Father for the first time today on a spur of a moment and it blew us away how incredible this place was! The stuffed burger just might be the greatest burger I've ever had! We will DEFINITELY BE BACK‼️”

“The taste of the dishes is great. The service is also very considerate. Very satisfied.A delicious restaurant with good service and a beautiful environment. Highly recommended.”

“porciones grandes .entregas rápidas”

“Delicious commercial restaurant. Bare in mind that Covid has affected all restaurants to one extent or another. A lot of them have closed. This Olive Garden is actually doing well. Good job guys. With the closing of Pasta Plus this is my favorite Italian restaurant in this area”

“HAPPY hour appetizers & drinks. 4p-7p.”

“Came with family for a birthday and we had an amazing time! Everyone was so attentive and kind. The food was great and really good portions. Will definitely be coming back!”

“OMG!!! 🤤🤤🤤
In this place the chicken is the main star!
There is nothing better than paying for an exquisite meal and being well served.
Without a doubt, I would choose this establishment to eat again and again.❤️”

“Keep up the amazing work”

“we absolutely love this place. we eat there a couple of times a month the crabcakes and the chef salad is the best. The food is always fresh.”

“I've been eating Chinese food for 50 years all over Maryland. Asian Express has the best tasting food. It's the chef, plain and simple. You won't be disappointed.”

“Been my new favorite spot last few months. The Carne Asada or Chorizo taco VERY GOOD. And very well priced.”

“Laurel location was cute friendly staff lowkey . Drinks were delicious, get the miskiry!! Everything we ordered was good and when we couldn’t decide Lawren helped and she was so nice!! Had a great time will definitely be back”

“This restaurant is my go too spot. My favorite is the seafood chowder! The servers are always super friendly! I highly recommend!”

“I've eaten pho only twice in my life... both times at the new spot on Main St., Pho Viet 75. My review: Taste is consistent. Quality is consistent. Portions are excellent. Presentation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Packaging 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 You get a container with broth, chicken and onions. Another container with the noodles, a baggie with drop-in pho condiments. I also ordered 2 spring rolls that came in the container with the lettuce, but I ate them before thinking of taking pics. My bad. The little saucies are for flavoring which you completely are in control of. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Likely to return Will recommend to a friend Covid-19 compliant I felt that they were relieved I ordered on-line because we didn't have to exchange any money. I tipped in cashola. Support our local businesses. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.”

“I can’t get enough of this place! Love the people here, food is always on point ! Always feels welcoming when stepping into the store . There this one employee her name is Valarie she is an amazing employee and greet you with a beautiful smile . Definitely makes makes my day when she there .”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at emmerts Seafood! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by our wonderful waitress, Avery. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Avery was incredibly attentive and even took the time to let our curious toddler walk around with her so he could explore — it meant so much to us and made the evening even more special. The food was cooked to absolute perfection — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. We will definitely be back, and when we do, we’ll be requesting Avery again. She made our night unforgettable!”

“Awesome spot. Food was great. Service was great. Will be back and would recommend 100%”

“Great food - great attitude ; superb customer service”

“Amazing place for some authentic Halal Chinese cuisine! We tried Hakka lomein spicy, shrimp fried rice and both were delicious! The service was amazing and owners r very friendly and accommodating.

First time we went there for lunch dine in, the owner gave us free desi chai on the house and second time, the owner gave us drinks on the house.

We're hooked to this place and my wifey and I plan to eat here at least once I week!”

“LLOVIO EN EL EVENTO Y ELLOS TRABAJARON DURO Y TERMINARON SU TRABAJO ASTA FINAL. TODO MUY RICO ESPECIALMENTE LOS TACOS DE BIRRIA 😋🤤🤤 MUY ATENTOS LOS COSINEROS Y HONESTOS LES AGRADESCO MUCHO POR SERVIRNOS ESE DIA LES DESEO MUCHO TRIUNFO GRACIAS POR ESOS TACOS TAN DELICIOSOS🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮”

“I ate your food for the first time and it was delicious, healthy, fresh and spicy - YUMMY!!! It was brought to my office and I will be visiting again and will recommend to friends. Keep up the good work. Thank you”

“The Qabuli Rice was gently seasoned, without being overwhelming, and studded with moist tender lamb. Equally impressive were the spinach and okra dishes that were fresh, tasty, and well cooked. Along with the side salad [lemony and slightly spicy], these side dishes were competing for my attention for the above reasons and being less greasy than most places. I suggested to the owner that the side vegetables should be made into a combo dish, to which they accommodated my request. Smart decor and amiable service. Their house-made saffron ice-cream is on my next visit list.”

“First time we went the Flatbread and fries were awesome. This time we tried the Aged Waygu, it was ok, definitely not worth the $200 bill. Overcooked, not very flavorful, maybe the chef was having a bad kitchen day. Wouldn’t mind trying something else, maybe next time.”

“Josh K. was my server. I am extremely pleased with his friendlessness, courtesy n he got my order perfect the first time. I recommend him for a raise n a letter in his profile noting how pleased I was with his service. I will b coming back to dine here again, because of him. Please recognize his service well done n most appreciated. Happy n full”

“The food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back. This is a nice place for a first date…”

“This was the best sub place ever. I had a chocolate shake, fries, and BBQ sub to die for. The best! THANK YOU LAUREN FOR THE AWESOME HOSPITALITY AND AMAZING FOOD!”

“Excellent food. Loved the options that were given and many choices to pick from. 10/10”

“Food is excellent service is very professional”

“T&J Waffles was recommended to me by a coworker a few months ago. I finally got the opportunity to try it today for the first time and it was AMAZING! The waffles are delicious. Didn’t even need to use syrup. The girl taking orders was very nice and polite. She even explained a few of the different options that are offered. I’m a huge breakfast person and this by far is one of my new favorites! I can’t believe I waited so long to try it. There is definitely something for everyone.”

“excellent service , great food, nice environment”

“These cakes in any size are always delicious and amazing! The customer service is always top tier. The only statement I have is I tried the new banana pudding cake and didn’t taste much of the banana flavor, but the cake was amazing and moist! The addition of the Nilla wafers was such a treat and compliments the cake great!”

“I was in a pickle and needed logos printed on edible paper. I am in the DC area and called about 30 places and no one could print. Some even told me they could and I showed up and then surprise they couldn't.

I googled places near me and surprise someone has the printer and materials to do it. I called them and they were able to help me. I was so grateful and the staff was so helpful and nice. I would highly recommend the cake plus team!”

“This is the best Pho and peanut sauce in Maryland!!! Staff is fast and funny and food is delicious!!”

“My favorite steak & cheese in the area. I get it with mushrooms, fried onions, and hots. The mushrooms are fresh, the meat is well seasoned, the bun is soft but holds together nicely, the cheese is gooey. I also like the fries. They are standard, but they are always fresh and do not taste too greasy. The prices are great as well.”

“Top notch service and the food is amazing!!!! So many options to choose from and the portions are very generous! I would definitely recommend The Hunger Tamer for an authentic West African Culinary Experience. Thanks auntie Sonia. You're the best!!!”

“The few things I'd suggest is they fix is to
1. Bring back the garlic powder, the garlic shakers were one of the big reasons I went to Blaze Pizza in the past. Just recently they quit putting out the garlic powder which was a big mistake.
2. Lots of the other shakers are either missing (oregano is frequently not out) or nearly empty”

When she handed me my food she reminded me that I requested pickles and mayo with no tomatoes which I felt was really good skills as a fast food worker! All I have to say is thank you for the speedy accurate and excellent service. I asked for her name because her hard work needed to be recognized. Jade with the lavender hair.”

“Always fresh, and the portions seems to be better, hopefully I didn't speak too soon though 🤔🤫👀😳😏🤣😂🤣😂”

“The food was good. They had background music playing extremely loud and the lady working the counter spoke very softly so it was hard to hear her questions. The music was so loud we could not even talk while we ate our lunch. As other people came in we noticed they were also asking for things to be repeated a few times. Another customer, around 25 yrs old commented to us that the music was too loud.

Parking: The parking lot is narrow and has constant traffic, making it difficult to get in and out.”
