Tandoori Chicken Pizza

This may be too long, but I think it's worth it. Three years ago my wife and I, from Arizona, were visiting our son and family in Rockville, MD. We were out sight-seeing and happened to stop at the K2 Cafe for lunch. When I spotted the Tandoori Chicken Pizza on the menu, I had to have one, and I wasn't disappointed. It was great! This past summer we visited again, and I insisted on going to K2 again. Imagine my disappointment when I learned that the Tandoori pizza had been taken off the menu! The 3 lovely ladies working there huddled up, and after a couple of minutes they said they could make me one. It was just as delicious as I remembered! While paying our bill, I spotted a jar of Tandoori Paste for sale, so I bought one to bring home to Arizona. About a week ago we finally got around to making a Tandoori Chicken Pizza, and after reading several recipes, i used only the Paste, Mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sour cream. (If you want to try this, BEWARE! The jar of paste is the HOTTEST thing I have ever touched to my tongue! Less than 1 tsp. will flavor just about anything, and I'm not kidding!). We used a pizza crust mix, and to my surprise, it turned out to be wonderful! We have since had Tandoori Chicken over noodles and also over rice. We have definitely added this dish to our list of favorite recipes! I want to thank the owner and the ladies working at K2 Cafe for being so friendly, kind, and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits there. If you are anywhere near Poolsville, stop in for lunch. You won't regret it!

The nicest staff and the best food!! I tried the latte and the chicken salad sandwich with ciabatta bread. It was delicious and fresh. There are so many delicious looking pastries from a local baker that I want to try next time!! There is wifi and outlets to work as well.

Update hours on google maps! Closing at 1:30 on Saturday? Crazy! Bathroom was disgusting and dirty. No toilet paper, soap, or paper towels.

It took a very long time for me to receive my order. When it arrived, it didn't look thick, but it was very crunchy. After my first bite, I was not a fan as it stuck to the roof of my mouth. I don't know if that was because it was sugary. I have never had that experience eating other waffles. The rest, I decided to cut into much smaller pieces, but overall, I ended up just picking on the dish and didn't really eat much of it. For drink, I had the Dirty Chai Latte. I loved the taste of this and the temperature was perfect. What I didn't like was my cup had spillage on all sides before it was served to me, which gave the impression that it was initially filled to the brim. Quite unusual. Overall, I feel it was an off day as things seemed rather busy. However, that will not stop me from coming back to this spot as my previous experiences have been great.

The prices for a drink and a small bite were fair - only $10 for a beer and side of fries - but nothing special taste wise. A buddy got wings and said they weren't worth the cost.

If you're looking for something to eat before your round, I would definitely check with the staff at clubhouse about food options first, but this is a great alternative if you're looking for a sit-down meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

We tried many wines, including: -the Crossvines Cabernet Franc-raisin and almost Nebbiolo overtones; -the Crossvines Barn Door red blend-balanced and warm with a hint of spice yet low tannin; -the Fairway rosé, which was light with great flavor and perfect with spring foods; -and the Riesling and then house ciders, with cherry and peach popular with different people. We settled on a bottle of the White Blend, the "Front Porch". It was not groundbreaking yet likable worked as a clean canvas that went with a lot of foods, not oaky, tangy, sweet, or dry. I enjoyed the butternut squash soup. I watched my friend enjoying the Farmer's Market salad and wondered if I should have gotten that instead! My friend enjoyed her burger and fries. The burger was pretty big and looked satisfying. My friend said the crab dip was really good, too. The best part for me was trying their wines while engaging with our server and the general manager. We talked about some of the events like wine tasting and menu changes and line dancing. We saw more of the gorgeous venue and bookable space for 300 indoors. It was relaxing and enjoyable and while I couldn't eat many items due to a wheat allergy, I definitely wanted to return soon and enjoy the backdrop and support a local winery.

I have had Rocklands Farm wines before - we can find their wines at wine shops and restaurants around Baltimore, and I've always enjoyed them. The property is beautiful! There are ponds and geese and barns and tons of picnic tables. There are plenty of areas reservable for parties and weddings. They have a luxury restroom trailer like I've seen at weddings in recent years, which were clean and nice enough! They offer flights, wines by the glass, and many more by the bottle. We selected four bottles (one skin contact, one white, and two reds) to share and also grabbed a local cheese and some crackers from their fridge to enjoy with our wine. On Saturday when we visited, they also had two vendors - one making pizzas and one making Argentinian food (we had a pizza over the time we were there). The wines were all great, and we had a great time drinking and playing board games we had brought with us. Rocklands Farm Winery focuses on low-intervention, small batch wines made with native yeasts. They were interesting and delicious - all four we tried (well, five, counting the glass of Pet Nat I also tried since we didn't get a whole bottle of that and I couldn't resist!). So if you love natural wine in a beautiful, comfortable setting - Rocklands Farm Winery should be on your list to visit!

It has the charm of a bygone era with pictures and paintings all over the place. I always find something new when I go there that I did not notice the last time. It provides the comforts of home with a touch of sophistication with its excellent customer service and food. It is my kind of restaurant where I can come in and always feel welcome. The staff members are always attentive without being overbearing. They do not crowd you, but at the same time, they are always available to assist if you need anything. It has great value for the money without cutting corners. It takes a short time to prepare your order, which is understandable considering that the place is always busy. However, it does not compromise on the quality and makes sure that you get a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy your meal. You can relax, socialize with your friends, and have a good time at the restaurant without any of the waiters harassing you. I have been to many restaurants, but few can match Bassets. The food is flavorful without being oily or greasy. It gives you great value for your money as the portions are large, but the bill is not outrageous. I have been a regular there and have tried most of the dishes on the menu. Everything I tasted was amazing and unique in its own way. What I suggest to first-timers is to order Mexican cuisine as every dish is bursting with flavor and is made with fresh ingredients. You will also find the sandwiches incredible, especially the Bassets club sandwich. They are excellent with a perfect blend of different elements without losing the sandwich's structural integrity.
