Ribs were very good Coleslaw and Mac n cheese were both top notch. Wings were meaty and good. Cornbread was tasty but dries out quickly so eat it fast. All in all we would probably order take out from here again when we need a local bbq fix and don't want to do it ourselves.

The service is on point. I hope they expand to other areas like Rockville and Gaithersburg. Can't wait to try their crab dip and their rum cake. They are 10x better than Misson or other chain restaurants.

I always ask for extra sauce and they bring it out in a big cup, and honestly, it is like having marsala soup. They also have a rasberry vinaigrette salad dressking that is amazing.

The food was front and center and the star of the show was the wild mushroom appetizer.

Incredible. We also had the salmon, eggplant, and crab ravioli and all the entrees were a home run. Service was immaculate.

Both entrees came with a cold, fresh side salad with a tangy Italian dressing. The entrees were very good. The salmon had a nice char, but was moist and flavorful. If you like salmon with a sauce, you'll be disappointed. I like mine simple, and this is a well-prepared salmon. The shrimp (3 large) were good. The spinach had a nice garlic flavor and the asparagus was well prepared - not mushy. The chicken Marsala also was good. The Marsala was light (not thick) and somewhat sweet. Very good. Honestly, the bread service was pretty disappointing. Our last visit the bread was fine, but this basket was pretty dried out and almost seemed stale. The oil accompanying the bread had almost no cheese in it. Essentially, you dipped tasteless bread into oil. Really disappointing. I'm not going to reduce my overall restaurant score for this one thing (because the entrees were very good), but the bread service was not good. The service was good.

The spinach pie let the tart bright flavors of the spinach come through, and it was a nice way to follow the rolls. They do catering here, and I could see these being great finger foods to serve at a party. The cooler has yogurt sodas and there are many frozen homemade dumplings and other items to take home. Very friendly and helpful service as well - looking forward to returning!

Unfortunately, the dinner Combo noted at the top of the menu as an add-on was not available so we didn't get to taste the wider variety of foods we had hoped. Not sure why that was not available. It doesn't appear to be a lunch only option by the text on the menu. We ordered the Minerva Lamb Special, and the Chattinad Salmon Curry initially. A bit later we added the Paneer Masala Dosa. The food did not disappoint! The lamb was tender and the sauce flavors were not overwhelming but the perfect complement. I normally don't consider salmon to be a good curry protein but this dish was delish! The salmon was not overcooked and it didn't disappear in the sauce. Three cheers for daughter's choice! The dosa was huge with a scoop of paneer curry in the middle. We enjoyed breaking off crisp pieces to dip in the accompanying chutnryb& sandu. We obviously had leftovers and were provided with the perfect containers, including condiment cups for the chutneys and dips, to transport our dinner home for son to enjoy. This place was a bit of a drive for us but I would consider a revisit if in the area again.

I've been here several times for the lunch buffet, and, more recently, have had dinner here (with a…read moreGroupon each time). I have to say that I enjoy the dinners more than the lunch buffet. And I would say that even if I was not using coupon. We started with soups: mulligatawny and Sambar. Both were delicious. Then we shared an appetizer of Ginger Shrimp. The shrimp were lightly fried and coated with a delicious coating. Not "overly" gingered for me. The appetizer came with two sauces (one spicy and one sweeter) that were good, but I didn't think were needed because the shrimp were good on their own. For entrees, we got the Palak Paneer (mild) and Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spice). Again, both were delicious. The rice accompanying the entrees was well prepared. We ordered a Garlic Naan that was deliciously garlicky. The soups and appetizer mostly filled us up, so we took the entrees home and had them for lunch the next day. Everything microwaved well (including the rice) and the leftovers were outstanding. Service is overall good. So now I can recommend both for lunch buffet and for dinner.

That took 10 min to get anyone's attention. Our drinks were empty by the time food came out. We tried waving with both hands in the air to get anyone's attention.... Nothing. No one ever came back over the whole rest of our time there. We waited 20 min after we finished eating and still ignored. We almost walked out of the bill because we couldn't get anyone to take our card. We then found out that a 20% gratuity is added on to the check. We asked if we were suppose to be going up to the bar to order. She said no... I'm not too sure why it was impossible to get any service. The only time someone came over to our table was a total of 3 times after extensive measures of trying to be seen. I've never had worse service in my life at a place. We were there for 2 hours and each got a drink and entree.
