I had a really good time at Oleum! My daughter is allergic to eggs and peanuts so I had to call…read moreahead of time to confirm these allergies could be accommodated. I had the pleasure of speaking to Tony who not only checked himself but spoke with the chef to confirm the menu was peanut free. * Note there are peanuts used in the cocktails * it was a true pleasure to have an allergy taken seriously and made us more confident to take our daughter there. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very personal and quaint, there was a high chair available for our daughter to use. All the servers were incredibly friendly and helpful. For the food we tried the stuffed dates, miso mushroom bucatini and the toum raider pizza. The stuffed dates were recommended by our waitress and they were delicious. They were both sweet, savory and a little spicy. The walnuts that topped it were a nice touch to add texture to the already soft dates, I enjoyed it a lot. The miso mushroom bucatini was also a favorite of ours as it didn't taste vegan at all to us. It was creamy and the pasta was cooked well. My daughter enjoyed this a lot. The pizza wasn't my favorite but I'm also not a huge fan of vegan cheese so that is my fault but the miso mushroom bucatini was truly so delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, the service was impeccable and I would definitely visit here again!

Non-vegan here! I feel like my expectations for the food were set by only vegans, which gave me a…read moreskewed perspective going in, so to my non-vegans out there, here's how I'd approach Oleum: It's incredibly impressive what they come up with in terms of recreating non-vegan dishes using plant-based-only ingredients. Creative, complex, and unexpected--and incredibly thoughtful. I definitely see why this is considered vegan fine dining: I'd think you'd have to be nothing short of a master chef to craft some of these dishes using only plant-based ingredients. It was fun to try a few of their 'how on earth did they make this vegan' menu items, but I also wish we'd ordered some dishes that are naturally closer to vegan, as I think that's where I'd be really blown away (beyond the novelty value, as a non-vegan diner). Highly recommend ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing them across the table so you get to sample lots of different foods and preparations. We ordered: SMALL PLATES Ravioli bravas Maryland style crab cakes Shrimp scampi ENTREES Blackened alfredo Mushroom miso bucatini Meat lovers pizza I went in with unrealistic expectations because I'd been told 'it tastes just as good as the non-vegan version--SERIOUSLY!' and because of the caliber of the restaurant, I didn't think to manage those expectations. So I hit a bit of an uncanny valley with pretty much all of the dishes: it tastes a lot LIKE a crab cake, but something's off about it...this is the FLAVOR profile of shrimp scampi, but the texture isn't right...etc. (except for the pastas, which I'll say none of us were very impressed by). I think that's a lot of their branding, though, because even their menu design is setting you up with that (wrong, imo) expectation: I actually had to confirm with the bartender that this was a vegan restaurant, because they list bacon, sausage, parmesan, provolone, and beef in their dishes! It's very confusing, haha. I think if I didn't have those expectations going in, and went in more with the curiosity of 'wow, how do they make a mushroom-based crab cake? or tofu that tastes like shrimp?!' that would have been a much better dining experience for me. After coming to the above realizations, I'm looking forward to returning and trying the dishes with a different lens. And I want to order some that are naturally plant-based, as I imagine those are really going to shine--no uncanny valley to be seen!

The inside of this location is clean and the staff are all very nice and friendly. While Sweetgreens are mostly the same throughout the DMV with their ingredients, and they have once never run out of an ingredient, this particular location is a little heavy handed with their dressing so just make sure to keep an eye on when they are putting dressing on or ask for it to be on the side. I love dressing but too much can make the greens mushy so it can make or break the meal for me. Other than that tiny complaint, this location is always on rotation for me when I eat in Harbor East!

Excellent NYC-style halal cart located behind the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health (corner of…read moreN. Washington and McElderry), open from ~11 AM - 2 PM on weekdays. Serves delicious grilled meat on rice and in pitas. As of 7/14/2020, the food truck is still open for business. Get the grilled minced lamb ("gyro") on rice. The meat is tender, not at all dry, and also not greasy. The rice is a mix of white basmati rice, and red (spiced with harissa?) basmati rice. The texture of the basmati rice is perfect and tender -- not at all dry, or mushy and overcooked. Both the white sauce and the red sauce are good here -- get both. The white sauce is absolutely delicious, and the red sauce is spicy enough to add good flavor but not so spicy that your mouth is on fire, even if you get a lot. The tomatoes are fresh and the lettuce is crisp -- no limp lettuce here. Portions are extremely generous. A tray of grilled lamb with salad and red-and-white (spiced with harissa?) basmati rice costs ~$8.50 and is enough food for 2 meals. The grilled chicken ("shawarma") on rice is also good, but IMO the lamb is better. Also, the middle-aged man who works in the cart is super nice :) I On some weekends and some nights, he's around 901 S Bond St.

The portion is large enough to not leave you starving for dinner, but I could easily finish it in one sitting. It's also my own personal preference, but the one thing that bothered me is that you might get too little salad with your meat with rice. I like having a mix of meat/rice/salad in one bite, but I often ran out of salad before the meat and rice (proportion was like 3/4 meat over rice, 1/4 salad). Person was very pleasant.

The bun itself was so light and fluffy, and the tofu was crispy. They didn't skimp on the pork in the chili noodles - about half the dish was really tender pork.
