From 2011-2017, in the foodie wonderland of Portland, homicide detective Nick Burkhardt, alongside…read morehis partner Hank, investigated crimes in and among the intersecting creature communities of Wesen (pronounced Vessen), whose true forms often only Nick can see, because he is a Grimm or ancestral monster-hunter. But what if, instead of the Douglas fir-dominated city of Portland, those thriving communities of Wesen could be found instead in the small town of Laurel, Maryland, centrally located between the major metropolises of Baltimore and Washington, DC? And what if, as in the show, Nick temporarily lost his Grimm abilities and had to resort to observing what, to the rest of us, looks like human behavior? Nick would have to choose spots that would appeal to multiple communities. One such spot, located at 13600 Baltimore Ave, adjacent to PetSmart, is Jalapeño Fresh Mexican Bistro, which serves memorable Halal Mexican dishes (taco bowls, quesadillas, burritos) in addition to delicious Halal Afghan and Indian fusion entrees (Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Shank or Chops, the Chicken Tikka Club, Veggie Platter, Kofta, and Naan). There, Nick might come across the reformed Blutbad (wolf) Monroe, a clock repairer, who, to the disdain of his family, has shunned red meat and become a vegetarian; the Fuchsbau (fox) Rosalie, whose woge (pronounced vohguh) transformation is much more subtle and who shares a similarly powerful sense of smell; the helpful yet cowardly and often-meddling Eisbiber (ice beaver) Bud; or even one of the darker, more dangerous species--the Hexenbiest (witch-beast), Hundjager (dog-hunter), or Lausenschange (snake). All might find entrees for purchase that appeal to their cloaked or hidden forms. But, if you bring kids, be cautious to avoid the weeping woman seated at a corner table, outwardly showing grief for her lost children. She might just be La Llorona, a specter even a Grimm should be wary of.

I intermittent fast for good health and a vibrant immune system and there is no better way to come off of a 16 to 24-hour fast than at Mezeh. The food is not only as fresh and natural without a lot of ultra-processed sugar laden junk food, but the variety is the best you'll find anywhere. Ten if u are on their rewards system, every so often your meal is a FRACTION of the cost.

This is such fresh and fun chicken. I ordered a 12 piece tender for multiple kids to share, a half…read morechicken (not pictured), and a quinoa salad. I will be honest, my kids did not love the tenders, but I did! The seasoning was not for a picky kid. However, it was the freshest tender with the best seasoning and crunch I think I might have ever had. Not to mention, I will probably dream about the French fries we got as a side. My husband's half chicken was also juicy and well seasoned. My salad was very exciting because I got to choose the type of lettuce it was on, the type of salad, and then the kind of chicken it was topped with. I got the quinoa salad on the farm house blend, and then grilled chicken. I also ended up eating it with the blackened ranch instead of the dressing it came with. For a somewhat fast food, my salad was amazing and well topped with all the ingredients. Along with all the food being amazing, the service was also great. The workers were very accommodating and always making sure we had enough sauces. They were also very friendly with my kids watching from the side for their open kitchen concept. I will definitely be going back to Isaac's.

The decor is nice and modern, a bit sparse, but that makes it cleaner looking. It has a nice tone about it. My one complaint is the price, but given how much you get for it... and considering how everything is getting more expensive... it is what it is. It's still a bargain since I almost always get two meals out of one. If you are gluten free, I have great news! Aside from the bread and mac (and cheese), everything is GF! This is what they told us. They fry the tenders in a GF breading and everything else is safe. Again, always double check! If you want the sandwich options, they can put the ingredients in a bowl with fries. It's worth it for some of the wonderful flavor combinations they have. Well worth returning to!

DENIED WATER Got…read moresome suggestions on Yelp email on restaurant recommendations and Naz's Burtonsville came up. This is only my 23rd 1-star review and crazy the 2nd business in this shopping center! See my 1-star review of Tropical Smoothie Cafe written last week (updated from my 2023 2-star review) of them. Maybe 1-2 years ago I ordered my food, and then asked for a cup of water. The guy said we have bottled water for sale, and I said no, just a free cup of water with my meal. He said we don't do that here, and told him I'm not giving any money and to cancel my order. I suggested to him that they should start giving courtesy cups of water with meal. A few months ago I was over there, and I wanted to test if Naz's changed a year later. They still didn't. The cashier said that all the Naz's don't offer the courtesy cup except for Columbia location as they had taken over the Halal Guys, which the set up of the restaurant was different for the coke machine. I've considered to try the Columbia location once, but I'm skeptical because it's still Naz's company policy to not offer courtesy cup of water to a paying food customer. It's not just that the Burtonsville only location are being jerks; it's Naz's as a whole. On Sunday, July 13, as a hail mary after the 1-star Burtonsville Tropical Smoothie Cafe right next door (see my recent review) was going to charge me $1.35 per cup of water even though we would've been paying customers. I said to my girlfriend, I'm sure Naz's will deny the water too, but let's test them, and I asked do you give a free cup of water with meal, which cashier once again said no. So, we ended up at ISAAC's across the street. I'll get around to a 5-star review of them in the future. My girlfriend said this shopping center sucks! Only Tropical Smoothie to not give courtesy cup + Naz's right next door. Also, it's the worst Roy Rogers location even though in March 2019, I see I wrote a 4-star review; various more recent experiences warrant 2-star for them if I ever get around to it. And the worst Greene Turtle I've been to; see my 3-star of the Burtonsville location. For good restaurants, go across the street to ISAAC's, Playa Bowl, or even freakin' Chipotle!

Lamb curry - Friday special I can't even begin to articulate the flavor explosion in this dish. I Cynivised it by adding seasoned basmati rice. #FeedsMySoulStatusConferred you'll have to go an try it out for yourself. I added the sides: salad and spinach. The salad fresh mixed greens. I think that the dressing was a light vinaigrette base with a strong dill presence. Spinach was cooked to the perfect texture, leaving it still having a little bit of bite and not being mushy at all. Good seasoning as well. Be sure to order a side of fresh bread, it comes out piping hot as it is made to order. Soft texture , with starting this, allowing you to scoop the sauce. Service For it to be a more of a carry out or dine and go quickly atmosphere, the service was top notch, royalty level. Extremely personable anticipating customers needs.
