They stock a wide range of items you simply won't find in other grocery stores in the DC area, which makes it a go to if you're looking for specialty ingredients. The prepared food is excellent and tastes truly authentic. It's clear they take pride in doing things the right way. From what I've seen and heard, it's highly regarded by the many Brazilians in the local community, which says a lot. If you want the real flavors of Brazil, you've found it! Or actually, I found it for you :)

I saw the 'Grand Opening' sign go up back then, but I kept saying to myself I'd go when I need some spices. Little did I know it's more than that! Spicy Mart is a packed little (just two rows and a wall of frozen foods) store that sells mostly Indian and Pakistani foods. Foods this unadventurous diner has never heard of. Yes, I know what Paneer Palak is. They carry that, of course. What really caught my eye was the variety of baking ingredients, specifically the variety of flours they have in this tiny place. They have a two pound bag of rice flour for $1.99! I paid double that at my local co-op. They didn't have sweet rice flour though. I'll have to stick to H-Mart for that. They have dosa mix, but I am not really sure how that is different than regular rice flour. So, I'll start my international dining adventure slowly. I bought a box of frozen uttapam, with chopped onions, peppers and cilantro and chutney. For $1.99 I think it is a worthy investment in culinary exploration. Spicy Mart is right next to the Fairland Animal Hospital, just past the Exxon (which always has cheaper-than-DC gas prices).

My friend got the soondubu jigae that tasted delicious. It felt like something your mom would make homemade. I got the kimchi jigae that was very spicy and very good.

You can't find the cuts they have most places. And then of course all the snacks.

One thing that REALLY irritated me when we went on Monday is that they were closed ... bad on me for not checking their hours So we came back today. Briefly saw Toni come in for literally a minute as we were placing our orders, but she rushed back out. The mart is on the right side, while the cafe is on the left side with casual seating/tables. Order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table when ready. We ordered caldereta, sisig, dinuguan, BBQ pork skewers, fresh lumpia and for the sweets: Milo iskrambol, mango float, ube buchi, and because we spent over $40, I got a FREE mais con yelo! Heck yeah!! Of course, the kids loved all the sweets! They couldn't pick a favorite between all the frozen drinks: "all were sooo good!" Food was all good also! Their dinuguan was ON POINT... almost as good as mine! Will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

55th Annual Greek Festival of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church of DC is my 7th…read morelocal Greek festival that I visited and reviewed. It was A-OK. The litmus test of the cost of beer ($5 for Mythos) passed (not $7 like DC). Unfortunately, a half of the fun is opening the bottle and having it there, but at this festival it had to be poured in the plastic cup by the bar personnel. The food was good. The Greek Ladies have prepared their authentic Greek fare using recipes passed down from generation to generation and producing a menu of Greek favorites like, Moussaka, Pastitsio, Manestra, and Spanakopita as well as succulent Greek pastries such as, Baklava, Galaktobouriko, Diples and Kourambiethes. Unfortunately, the cost was sometimes not justified - $4 for a small hand of the french fries is a lot - even it is "for the church." The picture shows two portions of french fries that I combined in one. The Greek sausages did not meet my expectations - yes, they were lemony and a lot of spice in them but the consistency was too soft and the final mix of taste was not impressive. Not much choice in the deserts department but the credit goes to cook for the excellent Galaktobouriko and Kataifi desserts. There was not any entertainment program going on for 60 minutes I spent there and that was a big downside, where on the other festival you have either bigger market (Bethesda) or non-stop entertainment (Annapolis). The average crowd was mostly retirees but never the less more diverse then at many other festivals. There is no entrance fee and the parking is free.
