“Ordered the forbidden rice bowl for delivery. Food arrived hot and smelled really good. Taste was bland, had to add a bunch of salt (the only "spice" available at the office) as there was almost no flavor. Was really disappointed to spend over $30 and have a less-than stellar meal from a restaurant I heard great reviews from.“
“Ever since the Mclean Chopt location has opened up I have been a regular. They have so many options and flavor choices to cater to everyone. I have so many favorites like the kale ceasar and the chicken tinga that I personalize and make my own. The service is incredible, everyone is super friendly. Angel the manager is absolutely lovely! The store has a great ambiance with seating that is cozy and clean.“
“Prime location, healthy fresh salads made of fresh & quality ingredients and topped with delicious dressings, reasonable prices & fast service; it usually takes 3-10 minutes for your salad to be ready as there are enough food-workers to prepare your food. Even drinks here are healthier than drinks sold at other eateries.Like & recommend.“
“The food was amazing! Our server was even better. We had a large party and the server did a great job keeping the drinks flowing and all 18 of us happy. The only draw back is that it’s in the mall and the parking sucked. Other than that, definitely a place to go. Try the Brussel sprouts as an app and their chicken avocado sandwich with amazing!“
“Super service coupled with fantastic authentic food. Easily the best Indian place in this area that we've had.Edit - if anyone is particularly craving a very spicy curry, go for the Vindaloo. We just went again today, March 10, 2024 and had that for the first time and it is phenomenal!“
“Nice restaurant, hostess needs to be more polite since we where there with a reservation for 3 GTD and she told us she found it but then she said she found it, food can be better, the server I don’t remember her name but it was Latina Súper friendly and provide us a drinks recommendation.“
“In town visiting my daughter she made a reservation for us. Really cute decor. We arrived during happy hour had delicious potato skins, so flavorful. I enjoyed the jackfruit entree, big serving. Lots of unique choices with many gluten free options. I did not order a cocktail but they have a good variety. Service was excellent friendly, explained items on the menu, pointed out favorites etc. would definitely go back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free items“
“I had an amazing time at Abuare. After my haircut at the lady clipper next door, I walked past their happy hour sign and gave them a try. They made this amazing sangria from scratch and just happened to have the beautiful pink tulips sitting by.“
“We arrived promptly for our 7:15 PM reservation. We were seated right away. Upon sitting at the table, my mom noticed that a section of the table was not clean. She told the host, and he returned with a wipe. He gave my mom the wipe, for her to clean the table. We were too excited about our very first experience at an vegan restaurant to make a fuss. We started off with some cocktails and appetizers. The bang bang broccoli was a hit! The sushi was ok and everyone enjoyed Thier cocktails, despite the excessive amount of ice. Every one enjoyed their entrées. I had the chick n waffles, which I really enjoyed. We even order dessert! The brownie was so moist and delicious on its own. The ice cream was a added treat. Our server was really sweet and knowledgeable about the menu.We will definitely be back for brunch as well as check out the other two Planta in the DMV.“
“One of the best vegetarian fast food restaurants that serves delicious falafel is "shouk". The falafel made with a perfect blend of chickpeas, herbs, and spices, resulting in a flavorful and crispy exterior with a moist and tender interior. The texture is just right, neither too dry nor too mushy. Each bite is packed with a burst of flavors that will leave you wanting more. The falafel is also gluten-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The presentation of the falafel is also impressive. It is served in a warm pita bread, accompanied by a variety of fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickles. The falafel is topped with a creamy tahini sauce that adds a tangy and nutty flavor to the dish. The service is excellent, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to assist you in choosing the best options for your dietary preferences. The restaurant has a clean and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a quick and satisfying meal. Overall, The shouk go-to place for the best vegetarian fast food falafel. Their falafel is flavorful, made with high-quality ingredients, and served with fresh and delicious accompaniments.“
“The service was impeccable. The staff were all extremely friendly, kind, and professional. The food came out in a very timely manner and every interaction with the staff displayed the restaurant’s deep interest in ensuring the best experience for all of its customers. We will be coming back again for the amazing dining experience.“
“I went to this place for my birthday and I have to say that it was a great experience. My family and I shared the Bún bò Huế (spicy noodles), hoành thánh chiên (fried wontons), Gà xào húng quế (Thai basil chicken), and Bánh hỏi đặc biệt (Vermicelli platter). The food was so good, my favorite was the Bánh hỏi đặc biệt. The owner went around to every table and checked up on everybody and our waters were being refilled constantly. Everyone was really nice. They don't typically do anything special for birthdays, but the owner gave me a free mango sticky rice!! Even after we paid and started to leave, the owner came out to us and recommended the ice cream place next door. I really appreciate family businesses and loved to see that traditional foods are still very accessible to people with dietary restrictions. I am 100% visiting again.Dietary restrictions: Many of their dishes can be made vegan easily and they have a glutton free menu.“
“Some of the most delicious food in DC. As a vegan they had so many incredible options that you can’t always find at regular Indian restaurants. The dosa with potato filling and idly were incredible and the server was so quick to provide her recommendation for her favorite vegan curry. My friend was gluten free too and we had so many options to enjoy - it was a feast!All vegans in the area need to run over here right away! Veganesha is the bestVegetarian options: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available“
“This was BY FAR the best dosas and Idli we have had in years! Chef Paul is amazing and he told me he doesn’t believe in catering or delivery because South Indian food is best served hot and fresh and I couldn’t agree more! The Idlis melted in my mouth. The dosas were just perfect - the masala and chutney and sambhar -10/10! Go - no run to this place!“
“This hidden gem offers a delightful fusion of flavors that's as vibrant and colorful as a Mexican mural. This family-owned operation not only wins your heart with its super friendly staff but also caters to a symphony of dietary preferences, making it a haven for vegetarians, vegans, and those seeking halal options. The casual atmosphere, a playful blend of Mexican zest and Greek finesse, sets the stage for a dining experience that's both laid-back and lip-smackingly good.Diving into the menu is like embarking on a culinary world tour, starting in Mexico with the Vegan taco, a masterclass in flavor that proves you don't need meat to create a masterpiece. It's a plant-based delight that showcases the kitchen's knack for transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary.The Mexican Pizza, a Wild Tacoz signature, is a flavor bomb. Imagine a 12" pizza that shuns the traditional crust for a double cheese-filled tortilla, creating a base that's as innovative as it is delicious. Topped with a protein of your choice and adorned with a medley of toppings including mild or spicy salsa, a three-cheese mix, tomatoes, onions, black beans, romaine, cilantro, and corn crumbs, it's a dish that dances on the line between genius and madness, landing squarely on the side of genius.Then, we set sail for Greece with the Gyro Burrito, a culinary hybrid that's as bold as it is delicious. Packed with rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, feta, and tzatziki, it's a wrap that wraps you in warmth and comfort, proving that when Mexico meets Greece, the result is nothing short of spectacular.Wild Tacoz is not just a restaurant; it's a testament to the power of family, fusion, and the universal language of delicious food. With every dish made to order, freshness is the name of the game, ensuring that each visit is as delightful as the last. In a world where fusion can sometimes mean confusion, Wild Tacoz stands out as a beacon of culinary creativity, blending Mexican flair and Greek elegance into a dining experience that's sure to leave you wild with joy.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at elfegne Ethiopian restaurant in d.c and it was a delightful experience. The cozy ambiance and friendly service set the stage for a memorable meal. The Ethiopian dishes were full of flavor and authenticity. I especially loved the injera and tibs – they were cooked to perfection. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend elfegne Ethiopian restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Ethiopian cuisine in D.C“
“Another one of those spots I love that has one thing they specialize in, and do extremely well. I had the sandwich and it’s just simple, tasty food, nothing fancy, nothing bad. Everything was the right portion, and I really have no complaints. The fries were also great and seasoned super well. Everything is pretty inexpensive to boot.There’s no space to eat inside so you’ll have to take it to go.“
“Stayed at a hotel nearby and found the Hive Bar as we walked the neighborhood. We were looking for something fast and tasty and the pizza did not disappoint!! They were trying out a new menu (for the Super Bowl) so we snacked on popcorn chicken and tatters as well. Tatters are a favorite!!“The” Old Fashioned cocktail was amazing!! Our bartender was an expert and made this delicious drink delicious every time!The bar is accessible, with a bar and tables on the first floor, and an elevator to the rooftop bar. The pizza/food is delivered from &Pizza which is attached to the hotel.Street parking was easy on the weekend.“
“The food tastes very good. I was surprised there weren't more people dining in here, but whatever. it made service very quick. Falafel tastes really good, and I really like how they package up their sandwiches. I do wish the pita was warmed (it seemed cold), but everything else was great. The fries have a unique spice on them which gave it a flavor I never had (in a good way).“
“When I choose the JP or Korean restaurant, I would like to try side dishes. I order Yoko salad, Takoyaki, Mango Salmon roll, and Fish Katsu.What I can say is I will come back again and again. The Fish Katsu (Fried fish) is the best fried fish I have had in my life besides my Mum’s cooking lol, not oily, thin and crispy flour, fresh, and delicious. I have been thinking of Takoyaki from the restaurant in Thailand, however this one nailed it lol. The salad dressing is beyond. Mango Salmon roll is creative. The Korean tea is perfect fit after the meal. Kamsahamnida for making such a great restaurant. We live in DC. 1.5 hours traveling to have a meal here is worth it.The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we opened the door.“
“I was highly satisfied, I usually don’t ask for my pizza to be ran through twice but since it had chicken on it I asked for it to be ran through twice just so it could have that well done texture to it. They perfectly re ran it, it didn’t taste burnt at all. The flavor was amazing, friendly staff & clean restaurant. I highly recommend this &pizza location!“
“Great food and attentive service. Plenty of options for vegetarians across all courses. The noise level gets very high though with a full house. It is not surprising given the cozy ambience of the place but still irks. I will look for a mid-week reservation the next time around and avoid Fridays / weekends.“
“It's been so exciting to see an entirely plant-based concept be so successful and expanding so rapidly and now that I have visited I absolutely see why. This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. My friend and I had been dying to try their plant-based sushi and not only did it blow us away but the other dishes we tried were equally as incredible. Here's what we got for two people. We were quite full and took some leftovers: - ahi watermelon nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: If you didnt know this was made of watermelon you could absolutely mistake it for the real thing. The texture is mind blowing and the flavor is on point. Amazing way to start the meal (and end it because we ended up ordering another round to finish our meal) - unagi eggplant nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: So delicious. Definitely must order. The eggplant is super tender, just like eel. - spicy tuna roll: we ordered the hand roll but I think the server misheard so we ended up with the maki but it wasn't a big deal and i wasn't upset to get to try their take on maki rolls. I think their rice could use some work but this was still tasty! - Dan Dan noodles: incredible. Our server advised us to get the Dan Dan noodles over the Singapore noodles entirely because of the saucy-ness of this dish and he did not steer us wrong. These noodles are drowning in sauce (in the best way) Even though it's a peanut sauce it was perfectly balanced and creamy. The noodles themselves had a great chew and the use of kamut (a grain) in the dish as a substitute for the traditional ground pork was inspired. - bang bang broccoli: broccoli has never tasted this good. I mean it, not only is the broccoli is shockingly crispy while being perfectly cooked through the center, but the broccoli itself tasted so creamy and delicious unlike any broccoli I have had before. And the bang bang sauce is bangin too. All this being said, if you are trying to be choosy and try the most unique dishes, I would probably skip this dish in favor of more sushi. Overall, this was an incredible, unique, and innovative meal and I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. This is how vegetables could and should taste, if only we put as much love into them as we do with meat. At least the chefs at Planta are listening.“
“The food is remarkable! Everything we ordered, we ordered in the "all Vegan" version; vegan enchiladas, vegan nachos, vegan mushroom taco, vegan butternut squash taco. All this food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to order from Chaia again.“
“I went in to order food to go and it was so fast, maybe 10 mins tops before I got my food and was headed on my way. A few other reviews said the people working here have limited English, but the woman who took my order had no problem chatting with me while I waited - she was super nice and welcoming! The menu has an English side and a Vietnamese side that match up, so you can just show them the number of what you want if you ever run into anyone with limited English. I'm not familiar with many Vietnamese dishes, so I'm excited to come back and keep trying more since the tofu dish I got was SO good!Dietary restrictions: The whole menu is vegan“

“I always rely on True Food for its delicious yet healthy food options. We just had lunch there and loved the ambiance - the combination of wood tones and greenery created a relaxing and comfortable feel. The staff member who greeted us was welcoming and friendly, and our server provided attentive and speedy service. Our food arrived within minutes of placing our order.The food was exceptional, especially the edamame dumplings appetizer. They were perfectly seasoned with soy sauce, dashi, white truffle oil, and herbs. The True Blue Grass-Fed Burger was also a great choice. The Peruvian pepper sauce added a pleasant kick to the burger, while the caramelized onions provided a sweet contrast to the blue cheese. The Korean Noodle Bowl was similar to Japchae, made with sweet potato noodles and veggies. However, it had a subtle citrusy flavor with garlic. Our drinks, Kale Aid with Greek yogurt and Bright Eyes, were both healthy and delicious. Their vibrant colors made them a feast for the eyes.I'm looking forward to revisiting True Food soon to try some of their other tasty and healthy options.“

“Glad I found this gem tucked away in a shopping center. Atmosphere was great, service was amazing, and the food was delicious. Great for vegans and vegetarians with a good amount of options. Vegan shwarma was delicious. Some dishes can be customized to your dietary needs. Will definitely be returning. Thank you, Siena's for a great experience.“
“Great customer service, great location, and even better pizzas! We visited for Pi Day and enjoyed the American Honey and a customized pizza. I highly recommend the American Honey!! The location is about a 10-min walk to the Kennedy Center. Stop by before a show!“
“First vegetarian restaurant I've been to and I enjoyed it! A friend of mind was visiting and wanted to go to this place, I'm no stranger to trying new food so I was game. Place has a real mom and pop feel and is located in Vienna. It's located in its own building on near the intersection of Nutley and Chain Bridge Road (Maple Ave). The folks there were really nice and helped me understand the items on the menu, I had no idea was burdock but the owner was really helpful in explaining what it was. The food came out great, I actually would go here again even though I am more of a omnivore.“
“My wife and I visited the Bethesda location. Our server was extremely helpful and kind. She explained basically they only cook with good oils. Everything is fresh and organic. The terminology today is clean food. My wife ordered a gin and pineapple martini and it was delicious.! They have an open kitchen concept and the cooks bring the food right to you after they prepare it! Which I thought was a great touch and would answer any questions you might have. I ordered the OG burger medium and it came out perfect so juicy and flavorful the grilled onions on the burger were fantastic and it came with a side of roasted baby red potatoes that were. Delicious. My wife ordered a salad with fresh grilled salmon and the salmon was prepared just the way she liked it not pink in the center and not overly done. Definitely a great concept and the food was extremely tasty. I would highly recommend it. They also have outside seating for a pretty spring evening.“
“I eat there about twice a week. The menu is small, that is, not trying to be all things to all people, and has a Latino flavor. But what is offered is quite good and often not to be found elsewhere on Mt. Pleasant Street. My favorite is the Dos Gringos breakfast bagel, with avocado, tomato and capers. Capers! Where else can I get capers for breakfast? The restaurant is oriented to facilitating conversation and meetings of community activists, as well as helping community artists. I myself have bought art off the wall there.“
“Awesome food and great service. It took a while for us to get the food but the chef did an amazing job. Very fresh chili garlic naan and the lamb vindaloo was sweet and savory without being too spicy. The chef even personally packed our leftovers for us in those takeout boxes.On the menu, they have many vegetarian and vegan options too.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options on the menuParking: Free parking lot and there's parking enforcement (toll truck would come around and ask for people's cars)“
“Delish! Even gluten free Mac & cheese. I thought ‘why not give it a try?’ Happy I did.Parking: Easy to find at intersection of Old Georgetown Road and Democracy Blvd in Bethesda.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and ramp for wheelchair.“
“We ate there two days in a row. There was no wait to be seated. Our server was attentive and efficient. We both enjoyed our meals both days. If we come back to the DC area again, will definitely consider eating there again. Highly recommend.“
“Such helpful and friendly staff!!! The food was delicious and large servings. We have gluten and dairy restrictions and the staff was so helpful to help us create a meal that was healthy, safe and tasty!! Thank you!! 5 stars!Dietary restrictions: We are gluten and dairy free and there were plenty of options!“
“The food is FANTASTIC! The service is top notch. I probably meet friends at this location once per month.No matter what time we arrive, the tables need wiping down, the trash is so full that it is falling out of the bins onto the floor, and the music is way TOO loud.If the pie was not so good, we would pass. Please guys, get it together. We love your pizza AND it is a convenient location for an after work nosh.“
“Listen the price is steel but the juices are absolutely bomb. Great burgers. I love this place. It's also super vegan. Wish they'd stop clinging onto the optional cheese situation for really no reason. Edit: apparently the baked good are also not vegan. Slightly annoying. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-10“
“We were pleasantly surprised that it was easy to find a brunch table on a Saturday. Our server Chelsea was polite and helpful, even offering us a complimentary dessert, as they seemed a bit short- staffed. The portions were excellent and we very much enjoyed our meal. We'll be back! “
“A favorite lunch spot with great deals texted right to your phone. Super fast with online ordering ,and always a parking space around back for a quick lunch run when you need it. Thanks for continuing to save me from the "hangrys" on a busy work day.“
“Such a wonderful team, I had just picked up my order and as I was walking outside the door hit my arm spilling my entire bowl across the ground. I let the staff know and they were kind enough to remake the order. ♥️Vegetarian options: Fresh vegetables that are still crunchy.Dietary restrictions: Easy to modify set ordersWheelchair accessibility: Street level main entrance with ramp for mall entrance.“
“After hearing about Sweetgreen for a while, I finally decided to give it a try. I must say, the food is absolutely delicious and the portions are quite generous. Additionally, the service provided was excellent and the restaurant itself is clean and well-organized. My only minor complaint would be that the sauce used in their dishes is a tad too salty for my personal preference.“
“I've had a few issues with this location and stopped going until recently. This new crew seems to be focused on what the customer wants and needs, because I ordered from the wrong location, but the manager filled my order anyway. She didn't have to do that, at all. She understood that I made a mistake and allowed me to get my food without going to a farther location. Courteous and professional young lady!! It's no wonder pizzas have been better under her watch...“
“I'm a huge fan. You can get a huge, generous portion of healthy food here. First you choose a base: I got rice and quinoa. Then 5 toppings. I got steamed kale and spinach, olives, and chunks of sweet potato. Then a dressing--I chose the tahini one. It was totally delicious, healthy, and enough food for two meals.“
“Absolutely! "I recently tried the halal pepperoni pizza at my own pizza , and it was an absolute delight. The savory and spicy flavor of the halal pepperoni added a unique twist to the classic pizza experience. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the generous amount of cheese complemented the halal pepperoni beautifully. It's a delicious option for those who prefer halal meat without compromising on taste. I highly recommend this pizza for anyone looking to savor a flavorful and satisfying slice!"“
“Finding a place to eat gluten and dairy free is not easy. Especially one that tastes good. I love &pizza! Their topping options are also great. Lots of vegan things to choose from. The food is consistently amazing. I think I'm lucky to go in on the days Sterling works. He definitely cares about the customer experience. He delivers excellent service with a smile. I live between this location and Pike and Rose and choose this location because of the amazing service. Just a heads up, it's a smaller store and is takeout only.“
“I really loved this place. It was a very modern and high tech restaurant with lots of food options. I liked how every single item was fully customizable and you could even make your own of everything. The one interaction I had with the staff wasn’t great but it was really because he didn’t speak great English but that’s ok. Food was good! I didn’t expect to like the garlic sauce but I did. Highly recommend this place.Parking: Lots of parking“
“Honeygrow restaurant always cooks my stir fry meal ? to perfection and the ingredients always taste fresh. The restaurant is clean and the service is quick. The kiosk machine is easy to use in order to place your order. The staff are helpful and always very friendly to speak with.“
“Great customer service. Chantae was very vibrant and greeted us as soon as we came through. She started our pizza and had great conversation while give us great customer service. She even made me and my boyfriend laugh few times. Elena helped us next with topping and cashing out. She was amazing as well. Very sweet and soft spoken young lady! Overall A great experience and I already love &Pizza’s food! I’ll be back again to this exact location.“
“Quick little casual pizza spot offering flatbread style pizzas for a pretty decent price. Plenty of options when it comes to toppings and the service was quick when I went.Parking: Parking is odd because most of the lot is reserved for Gold's gym“
“First off- the service here is great! The Monday evening manager was one of the friendliest people I've met at a pizza joint and he was very accommodating! I love that they have vegan and veggie options. My kids didn't come with me this evening, but when they do come, the staff has always been so friendly and open to listening to their crazy pizza toppings ideas! Kiddos to the staff who work here!“
