I stopped in late evening and it wasn't busy. Overall service was great. I was able to use the inKind app (download that if you don't have it). I did a beef swharma bowl and it was so delicious. I'm a big fan of black lentils. I feel like I'll be visiting Mezeh more often. It gss been too long!

I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.

The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

Jailbreak was a great experience. They have two parts to the restaurant. To the left you can order…read morefood. I had the dry age burger and it did not disappoint! If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

Service is always very attentive and there's plenty of options to choose from for both food and…read moredrinks. I was excited for the Japanese Bluefin Tuna, but was a bit let down. There was like a tangy sauce on the tuna which took away from the flavor of the fish and for $22 I was expecting something a bit more. Otherwise, Jailbreak is always a solid choice for drinks and grub. They usually have reservations and larger parties, but it's a pretty open/communal space, so there aren't typically issues with seating. All in all, a great spot for many occasions.

Continuing alphabet series representing 2025, N is for Nando's. I've reviewed 5 Nando's in my Yelp…read morehistory and been to a couple of others I never reviewed. All have been 3-4 stars (even the ones I hadn't reviewed). A friend claimed she got food poisoning from the Wheaton Mall location, which surprised me as the food quality is high, but maybe that location fell short. I prefer some other locations over Wheaton Mall one. As for the Laurel location, this one is my favorite, and I've been somewhat often. I've never had any significant issue with them. The food quality is great. I'll get a 1/4 or 1/2 chicken with 2 sides like redskin mashed potatoes, Brussel sprouts, corn, fries, bread, etc. Staff is relatively nice here. I talked to the manager a couple of times about a couple of minor things, and manager is good here. One time in July 2025, I went for Mandela Day, and it was a madhouse as it was a free 1/4 chicken with fries. I was patient as I waited a while as they had dozens of people wanting the free chicken that Friday evening. My girlfriend was sadly ill that weekend; so I bon appetited on my own. Nando's reward program got worse; so I'm less motivated to schlep to Laurel just to get Nando's. However, if I was going to go with Nando's, I'd go with this one as Arundel Mills let me down last time. Service & food is always top notch at the Laurel location.

The dining area was clean, spacious, and consistent with the atmosphere you'd expect from most Nando's locations. The only downside was the restroom, where some were out of toilet paper. For my meal, I ordered the chicken livers in mango lime sauce, Portuguese rice, and corn on the cob. Everything was flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would definitely stop by again.

To be fair, I ordered closer to closing time, so I may have gotten what was left. I tried the joojeh kabob (buy one, get one free) and a side of lamb. Both the chicken and lamb were well-seasoned, but I wasn't a fan of the lamb's texture--it tasted a bit mushy. The meal came with a salad, but it wasn't very fresh; the red onions were the freshest part, but most of the greens were soggy. The naan wasn't freshly baked and didn't taste very fresh either. The yogurt sauce served with the food was thinner than I prefer. Overall, the flavors were there, but the freshness and texture missed the mark for me.
