“I was looking for a pizza place that was different than the “usual chain” places and found Ledo’s and man was I blown away! The pizza here is absolutely phenomenal! The crust is unlike anything I’ve had before (I love the squared style), the toppings are super fresh, and put on the pizza in abundance (I’ve never felt shorted on toppings), the sauce is good, not to salty or anything, and the cheese they use on the pizza’s is real cheese!! The service here is always good as well! If you’re looking for great quality pizza definitely check out Ledo Pizza!”

“One of my favorite goto Papa John locations. Staff was quick and friendly. Location is very convenient and plenty of parking. I ordered "The Works" pizza and it was delicious!”

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!”

“Had a great time first time trying at the restaurant with my hubby! Very fresh foods and amazing service (Thank to Frank) in this beautiful place in center! Super convenient location:) love it ❤️”

“The most deliciously innovative meal that we’ve experienced within memory. Modern, Greek-accented food, elevated by sophisticated yet subtle use of herbs, spices, dressings and sauces. The menu contains numerous vegetarian offerings, although carnivores will also be happy. Excellent cocktails and drinks, attractive setting, efficient and pleasant service.The sole disappointment: noise. If you’re not enamored with loud acoustics, try to reserve a more quiet booth or visit during off-peak hours.***DETAILS: I was very skeptical about booking at Melina because the menu appeared complex and fussy. My concern was that the results would be discordant and underwhelming. Happily, I was dead wrong. Melina’s chef is one of those rare souls capable of orchestrating a symphony of flavors for the palate. We loved our charred baby gem salad (enhanced by its light and sprightly dressing); the squash app (brightly and unexpectedly accented with pear, black garlic and fried kale), the portobello main (deep-flavored and satisfying) and the lamb neck (generous and succulent.) The bougatso dessert, capped with a remarkably smooth Greek brandy, offered a celebratory ending. Looking forward to returning.”

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Royal Tandoor and had a wonderful experience. The food was definitely the best Indian food we have had in the Gaithersburg area, the service was excellent and the atmosphere very pleasant. We’ll be back for sure!”

“Okay. Dating myself. L'Auberge Chez Francois has been open for 70 yours. We've been going for 35. Never had a bad meal here. Or a mediocre one. This is an old school restaurant in all the best ways. You might think it's expensive. And it is. But it's the best value restaurant I've ever been to. The entree price gets you bread, appetizer, amuse bouche, entree and dessert. I had the Tuna Tartare, House Salad and Beef Wellington. My wife got the warm Asparagus, House Salad, and Rack of Lamb. All expertly prepared. The ambiance is amazing. French Cottage in the countryside of Great Falls. The service is impeccable. You don't get much better. And get the soufflé for dessert. You have to order it when you order your meal. Well worth it. I will keep coming here until I die. It's that good.”

“My wedding cake came out beautifully!! Everything i ever expected and more! I had 3 different layers with 3 different flavors, i had the chocolate cake with raspberry filling, the Jamaican rum with coconut filling and lastly the mango cake, the flavors were out this world, it was soo good and moist except for a little hiccup with the Jamaican rum but i called the bakery and they solved the problem the proper way. This is by far my favorite bakery and i will continue to come for every event i have.”

“Food: in love with tlj and a loyal fan !!! their pastries are made fresh daily and I have loved every single pastry I tried from there. My favorite is the cranberry cream cheese bread by far. If you check in on Yelp, you also get a free large drink, so worth it! Service: staff is helpful and always ready to help customers find what they need. Ambiance: located in new grand supermarket.”

“Hello!! Truly a place to return to, its facilities, its food and the attention in the hands of Server Leo made my visit very pleasant, he was very friendly and very attentive to our needs, his suggestions on the dishes were the best, I will definitely return”

“Our family loves Taipei Tokyo's food. We always use curbside pickup and have never been disappointed. Quick service, discounts, delicious food and a huge selection of dishes. We recently placed an order for eight people and they all enjoyed their dinners very much!”

“I dined here on 4/20 with a friend and it was an excellent experience! After months of trying to get into this restaurant, I'm very glad that I had the opportunity to try this place.I thoroughly enjoyed the overall ambiance of the restaurant and the simplistic yet personal decor. It's a fully transformed establishment since its days as VAPiano.To start off, we were seated quickly and greeted by Ernesto. Ernesto was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and was very warm and inviting. He offered some excellent recommendations and was able to help me navigate the menu since most of the options were completely foreign to me.I greatly appreciated his enthusiasm and willingness to provide an excellent experience for us.We ordered Pisco Sours, Salmon Ceviche, Chicken Empanadas, Tostones Sampler, & the Calamari Fried Rice.All dishes were superb and I would definitely come back just to eat the Salmon Ceviche & Pisco Sour. Each with their own unique flavours and freshness.Again, I'd like to thank Ernesto for such a wonderful experience and for his close attention to us this evening !Dietary restrictions: Our server Ernesto asked us about our dietary restrictions prior to ordering food. Very smart thinking !”

“Update April 2024Another 5 star experience with excellent service by Caleb and his colleagues. Food was delicious with timely course delivery and lovely presentations. Constructive criticism - the sugar on the vanilla creme brulee was burned. But seriously, I still ate it and it was good.Update 3/6/2023Again, excellent greetings by host staff, only a momentary wait for a table for two (Monday night, non holiday), excellent service by Eric and his team. Food was amazing - always recommend the deviled eggs with sugared bacon, chicken with angel hair pasta with tasty mushrooms, and the bread pudding a la mode for dessert! Ambiance is filled with families. only constructive criticism to offer is that the music is slightly louder than needed - as it is difficult to hear across the table and this seems to drive the background noise from other parties even higher. Still a delightful dining experience and food and I will return.Original:Excellent service provided by Brendan for dinner. appetizer was deviled eggs with delicious candied bacon, the cheese burger was perfectly cooked and the dessert was white chocolate bread pudding a la mode!! So delicious and will return!Vegetarian options: Just ask - plenty to offer!Dietary restrictions: They can still prep food if you have a shellfish allergy ?AND they have a small menu with gluten free choices!Wheelchair accessibility: Doors and tables and bathrooms are ADA compliant.”

“I would recommend takeout. Flavors were good. Pretty greasy, but that's what I ordered. The place was kind of unappealing - water on the floor, looks like they are part way through converting from whatever it used to be, wobbly tables.”

“El Mercat is a stellar Spanish restaurant that deserves every one of its five stars. The tapas are incredibly delicious, the paella is a standout, and the overall ambiance is fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported to Spain with flavorful dishes and a lively atmosphere. Whether you’re a Spanish cuisine enthusiast or just looking for a memorable dining experience.”

“Delhi Spice is one of the best Indian restaurants in the DC area. Definitely try their tandoori wings, some of the most tender flavorful wings I’ve ever tried. The owner and manager Sudhir is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Highly recommend stopping by!”

“Jacques' Brasserie does not disappoint! We had a delicious dinner and will return again and again. The rockfish special was delicious as well as the beef bourguignon. Highly recommend.”

“I love this bakery! It’s so nice to have a menu filled with delicious GF choices in one place. The owner is delightful and very eager to please his customers. I will be a regular from now on!Check this place out!!!”

“Very friendly. Very clean. They serve real coffee sizes, so beware that some will be smaller then starbucks!Highly recommend the farmers coffee and the cheesy waffles.”

“A very cool dining experience, especially for someone not very into the vegan food scene. Great tasting food, with beautiful presentation, and a well-curated collection of drinks in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties. Great place!”

“Very nice space and atmosphere. Great high ceilings. Friendly servers, not at all intrusive. Food was tasty, especially the lamb neck special. Also enjoyed Baklava. Not expert of Greek cuisine, but was very special I think.”

“I got myself a yummy lunch this week. I love the fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I love that I can eat meatless and still feel satisfied and full. I highly recommend this gem of a place.”

“Very popular, often there’s a line, but they’re so efficient that it moves quickly. Quality is consistent and always first rate. One scoop is generous and sufficient for me.”

“Just went to this tasty little gem less than 1 minute walk outside our apartment. Everything was very good (Ham/Cheese Croissant, Egg/Sausage Bun, Crème Brûlée Donut, Cappuccinos). Will definitely be going back again.”

“We wanted to visit this place from a long time after hearing about it from friends but since we live 45 minutes away, we never got a chance. Luckily, today we were in the area and finally got to try their pizza. I have had fusion pizzas at a few other places in the past but this was the best so far! Thin crust, well done, and perfect taste! We had a large Kadhai Paneer and a medium chicken tikka between our family of three which was more than enough. We have some left overs for lunch now! The owner Manoj was really nice and gave us recommendations for choosing pizza, (out of the so many options they have) since it was our 1st time. The kind of customer service he provides is rare to find these days. Would love to eat this pizza more often if we lived close by.”

“This is my new favorite Indian restaurant. Food war great. Dahi kabob, soya chap and Malabar shrimp curry is worth trying. Ambience was great. Modern fine dine Indian ”

“This is a family run business with all organic foods. The daughter makes wonderful desserts. Everyone is friendly and very attentive. You can have breakfast or dinner at anytime of day! They offer weekend specials that are always delicious! They run a small place with a big heart.”

“Omg, District Falafel - what a real treat! As a Palestinian, I rarely eat at ME restaurants cause it's easier, less disappointing and always better to just go to mom's! My sister/friend introduced me to this place and I enjoyed it so much that I will even tackle the beltway to go into Bethesda from VA! The manager (M'hammad)/counter/table (Edwin?) staff were extremely nice, friendly, patient and just really kind! Pricing was quite reasonable & the same regardless of lunch/dinner - a real bonus. Easy parking, casual and just the right size inside. We had an amazing set of beautifully presented dishes before us incl: Adas soup (thinner than I'm used to, but SUPER delicious!), the falafel was so fantastic that I took a few dozen home to share w/family (will definitely try the spicier ones on next visit!), chicken shawarma & kifteh were nicely flavored & tender, and all the side dishes, hummus, baba ghannouj, salads, pickled items, pita bread hit the mark. Thank you for everything - Can't wait to come back!”

“The food is light and refreshing. The price is extremely fair. Its great to eat right as it comes out and it also saves pretty well. The servers are kind--they'll even bring out the food to your car just to make things easier. The vibe is chill. This is a nice, local place that I will definitely be going to again.”

“This place is FANTASTIC….everything is so fresh… the sandwiches, pizza, salads, pasta, sauces, snacks…. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful and the lemoncello flutes and cannolis are to die for!!”
