I heard so many positive things about this place and I figured I can never have too many great Greek food options, so I grabbed some food on the way home from an appointment.

Came here for lunch with a friend. I got the Greek salad with chicken souvlaki and it was so good!…read moreThe chunks of feta were ginormous and the portion itself was well worth the cost! The chicken was also tender and pairs so nicely with all the seasonings! The service was quick, they got your order and within 10 mins the order was ready! The staff were kind as well!

I rate it 5/5 as a takeout place because the food is so good and I find it sad they only have a 4/5…read moreaverage. But it's true that this place is 4/5 or possibly worse for sitting down, so they kinda deserve it for that. Got takeout from here today and have dined in thrice before--excellent, never had anything slightly bad here. (Those who complain of bland rice must have never had the displeasure of eating over-salted polo--here, it does range from slightly under salted to perfect, but is never too salty.) When I've sat down, the service was good and servers were very polite (and kind about my attempts to speak Persian), but man I cannot get over the weird ambiance--it seems like others can't either; takeout orders predominated by at least 5:1 every time. Walking in you're nervous the place will be dirty with bad food, but it's actually neither, just dim, dated and not well maintained--please at least trash the dead roses so I also prefer the takeout experience. In descending order of absolute best to just good things I've had here: Gheymeh (!!), lamb shank (!!), kashk-e bademjoon (theirs is my favorite!), all kabobs, ghormeh sabzi (not the best I've ever had but pretty good), fesenjoon, salmon (wasn't very Persian, but good) Mast-based appetizers are a bit eh to me but they're the same here as everywhere else. I always get ice cream, it's a really nice treat. I love Persian food and I love introducing people to Persian food, so I wish this was a nicer sit down place to bring people to. I would be up here all the time if it were--there's other middle eastern restaurants northwest of and in Baltimore that I LOVE taking people to because they're both beautiful inside and delicious. But I do so love the food here.

Lunch special of chicken or lamb gyro for 11.99, comes with can soda or water. Sounds like a great first meal to try the place. It's big. Heavy in the bag. The large and fluffy pita fit loads of charred lamb slices. I chose tzatziki sauce, but you can hot sauce. Onions and tomatoes also come in the pita, though not a lot. It was a flavorful and filling lunch. 12 bucks is a good deal. The man and woman both were very nice and friendly. Service is good, though i can at 115p and had no wait. They have a much larger menu than what expected. I may have to try more. Desserts in the fridge also looked good. Solely take out. No dining in here.

They forgot to include the tzatziki so I had to go back and request some. The rice tasted so much like cinnamon that it was not enjoyable. The chicken souvlaki was delicious. My husband had the lamb gyro. He said it wasn't terrible. I have two family members who got the burger and were not a fan. They said it lacked flavor. The wait times were long and at one point they stopped taking orders to catch up. Overall, I personally would not order from them again.

Alfeo's is in a cute shopping center next to a vintage store in Glyndon. In all my years of living in Maryland, I have never been to Glyndon. Our server was Olivia and she was the sweetest. She walked to our table with a smile and asked what we wanted to drink. I was impressed that she asked if I wanted lemon in my water. I usually have to ask for lemon! We ordered the grilled calamari and Italian cheesesteak and it was the best ever grilled calamari and Italian cheesesteak I have ever had! The calamari was crispy and the Italian cheesesteak bread was toasted enough that its hot but not soggy. I didn't take any pictures but everything looked delicious as I described. This is definitely a place worth going to and the prices are reasonable.

Pleasantly pleased with my first Persian experience…read more Just off Joppa Road no the eastern edge of Towson is a massive complex built just for shops. In the sea of massage parlors, tanning salons, and laundromats is a Orchard Market & Cafe, serving up authentic Persian cuisine for 35+ years and counting. Had the fam visiting sis in nearby Pikesville. When we come down she always picks somewhere off the beaten path, something unique. This visit was no exception. Having never tried Persian food, I was excited to try something completely new. In this case, it was new yet also familiar. It's kind of like a mix between Indian and Mediterranean. You've got your assortment of stews and grilled meats infused with saffron, cardamom, and turmeric served of course with a side of basmati rice. The Mediterranean influence can be seen in their homemade hummus and use of fresh fruit and vegetables. There is perhaps no better example than the Mango Pear Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, mango, pear, Bulgarian feta and pomegranate vinaigrette. If you're feeling up for some true Persian fusion, you can't go wrong with Spicy Kermani Beef, which features succulent filet mignon sauteed with mushrooms and pepperoncinis in a zesty tomato garlic curry sauce. Everything in that brief description is right up my alley, and usurpingly the meal did not disappoint. Service was on point from start to finish, the finish being a tall glass of Persian saffron ice cream. Now this was truly a first for me, as I've never had anything like this in my life. The taste can be described as earthy, slightly floral and very aromatic. Rosewater adds the floral notes, while the saffron gives it the signature golden-yellow color and luxurious scent. Definitely a one-of-a-kind flavor that I highly suggest trying. The dining room is cozy with some neat pieces of art resembling ancient Middle Eastern artifacts adorning the walls. All in all I'm glad we got to try cuisine that doesn't have much representation in this neck of the woods.

Got the fries as well which had great seasoning on them. Must try something new next time. Looking forward to when they come back.
