But the chicken tandoori stood out the most- amazing flavors!!! Highly recommend it. We also got some fries. They also sell cookies and some Punjabi snacks.

This very popular American deli in the Hollins area of Roanoke, Virginia came to my attention through word of mouth, and I couldn't resist to put aside some time to go have lunch there, and experience first hand what a one-of-a-kind deli is all about. When I arrived, I parked my Lexus in a parking space right in front of the deli. Even though it was established in 2012, its physical building looked like new with clean red bricks and a beautiful French window on the right of its freshly painted blue door, and an equally beautiful Bay window on the left, leading to the dining room. Inside, the owner Mike personally greeted and welcomed me with open arms. His friendly and cheerful personality made me feel at home right away. The place had a basic, clean, and unpretentious environment. It's dining room had blue tables with comfortable chairs, and positive, noble words on its wall like: "Thankful," "Blessed," and "Love conquers all things." The menu featured a wonderful, unique variety of hot and cold submarines, sandwiches, and homemade sides. Such as "The Farmhouse," a house specialty with chicken salad, crispy bacon, and creamy Russian dressing. Their homemade desserts such as Baklava and Banana Pudding looked delicious as they were displayed next to a variety of others. After looking at their menu, I ordered a Lemonade to drink, a Ruben Sandwich to eat, and a homemade Banana Pudding for dessert. The sandwich was exquisite, the drink was refreshing, and the dessert was truly amazing. And the service by the owner himself was extraordinary. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and its food, and highly recommend you give them a visit. I can assure you, you'll be forever grateful you did. I can't wait to return and try one of their other unique sandwiches on the menu.

And Brambleton Deli in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. So today, I decided to have dinner here and try it out. Arriving a little before six, their front parking lot was already full. Luckily the parking lot continues around the side.of their building and into the back where it turns into an even larger parking lot. After parking my car in a safe spot, I walked to the front of the restaurant and entered through the front door after passing by their outdoor dining patio. There was already a long line of customers waiting to be seated. But with patience the friendly hostess got to me and brought me to one of the booths of the place. My friendly server Kelty soon arrived to greet me and take my order. To drink I ordered a Sweet Ice Tea. As an appetizer I wanted to have their Mini Corn Dogs but they were so many for one person that the server suggested I have the Kids Mini Corn Dog as appetizer and I did. For my main course I had their Pork Barbecue Platter, with Pit Cooked Pork, Cole Slaw and Onion Rings as side items. The 6 mini corn dogs were delicious, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, and having them made the wait shorter. The BBQ sauce came on the side. While the food was cooking my server came by to check on.me and give me a refill of Sweet Ice Tea. I asked her about where the bar was and she told me on the other side.of the restaurant and that some nights they have live music there. I figured if it was so crowded today on those nights it must really be crowded. By this time the food was ready and brought to my booth. The Pork was fresh and juicy, and after I spread the BBQ sauce over it, it was even better, the Onion Rings and Cole Slaw were also very good. And the Reese's Peanut Butter Pie was outstanding. After I paid the bill, I went for a walk to see the bar and the area where they play live music some nights. On the other side of the restaurant and next to the bar, this other dining area is more elegant and stylist in part for the quality of the furniture and lighting treatment. Can't wait to come again some night with a group of friends to listen to the live music. I definitely recommend this place as somewhere to go and spend some quality time in a relaxed environment, with good food at reasonable prices and to top it off live entertainment.

Add that detail like this:…read more Review of Montana's We visited Montana's for lunch and ordered the nuts and berries salad with raspberry vinaigrette and the roast chicken sandwich. The nuts and berries salad was the better of the two dishes. The salad itself was fresh and enjoyable, but the raspberry vinaigrette was very oily. Since the oil had separated and was sitting on the side, we had to discard the excess oil before adding the dressing to the salad. After removing the extra oil, the salad tasted much better. The roast chicken sandwich was underwhelming. The chicken pieces were thick, and there was very little sauce, which made the sandwich dry overall. With a better sauce-to-chicken balance, it could have been much more enjoyable. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was disappointing for the price. When we walked in, we noticed a musty smell, which immediately affected the experience. The water also did not seem filtered, and the poor water quality was noticeable in the taste. Considering that lunch at Montana's can cost more than $40, I expected better attention to basic details like the restaurant's smell, water quality, and food preparation. Overall, the experience was okay at best, but disappointing for the price.

Rising from the ashes like a Phoenix, Donnie D's Bagels & Deli recently reopened after recovering…read morefrom a devastating fire, that occurred not that long after they had opened. I happened to be at it's original inauguration on the first day it opened and took some wonderful photographs of the occasion, from the many people that were there, to a close look of me having one of their amazing bagels with cream cheese, to one of the bagel bakers putting the bagels in the oven to cook to perfection. At that time I wrote a brief review because I wanted my photographs to tell the story of this family-owned business of a product so well regarded and liked by our community. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying that review to get a better sense of the place and its amazing bagels. Today, I was simply in the area and unaware that their renovation had finished a couple of months ago, allowing them to resume production of their highly sought-after product. So when I went in to inquire if they were back to normal, and the answer was in the affirmative, I immediately proceeded to order a Bacon, Egg and Cheddar Cheese Bagel Breakfast Sandwich and a cup of coffee. Bagels, simple as they may seem, are one of my favorites food items, especially for breakfast, with cream cheese or with bacon, egg, and cheese. And Donnie D's Bagels, are in my opinion, the best in the area. On this occasion I was able to document how the bagels are made. Through a large glass window, I had the privilege to photograph and video the owner and his son making the bagels out of the dough, while the owner's grandson explained who they were to some customers seated at a booth near the window. And confirm that this is truly a local family-owned and operated business. While I was there, I observed how all of a sudden, the lines grew longer and longer, with customers proudly purchasing large bags full of bagels. After all, it was Christmas Eve, and the customers were probably looking forward to sharing these quality bagels with family and close friends. To conclude, I highly recommend this Donnie D's, New York Style, Bagels & Deli for their consistently fresh, chewy bagels and delicious deli sandwiches that truly capture NYC flavor in Roanoke, and because they're a beloved local business that truly cares about quality, and their staff always make you feel welcome, making it a true gem in our community.

Her excuse was that they take online orders as well. That is not my problem. Then the next excuse was that the bagel melt had to be put under the broiler. She and another man were talking about me and I told them if they had something to say it to my face. To think that the owner came down to GA to learn from our friend and owner of a bagel shop. I am appalled that the Roanoke staff had more people and about over double the space and they take three times as long. Two people were standing around not doing (a guy and a girl) anything but talking and laughing. There was even a little kid in the kitchen. He could have only been around 8. That should not be allowed and I am going to the labor and restaurant laws to see it is legal. Where I work, everyone picks up the slack. Piss poor service and Rosa needs to not make excuse and should in my opinion be fired. I did lose my temper but don't tell me one excuse and then another. The last thing she screamed at me that it had only been 12 minutes. I got a couple other receipts from people and their wait time was ten minutes after us. Rosa should be fired and the man with the beard should be reprimanded and even fired. Lastly, most restaurants require something on their hair and beard and NO was wearing them. No hair nets. Rosa had on an Aunt Jemima style wrap but she wasn't work hard either. So sad because we loved the fact that one of our favorite bagel shop from GA was coming here. Update: there is a law that said restaurant staff has to cover hair and beards. The link to the law in VA. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title12/agency5/chapter421/section240/
