Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Odenton

This was a tremendous meal, and a can't-miss restaurant when visiting Washington D.C. It was my wife and I, and we shared six plates: hummus, falafel, rice pilaf/barley, fried eggplant, brussels sprouts and (essentially) french fries. We were uncomfortably full when leaving, and this ran us a whopping $72 dollars before tip. Obviously if we had gotten drinks or wine, the price would have gone up considerably, but I can't imagine this kind of quality food in a metro area for $36/person in 2024. Plus endless homemade pita that was a cross between pita and naan was provided -- crazy delicious. The french fries had a house-made mushroom salt with a yogurt dipping sauce. The serving size on those were substantial, but basically they were just outstanding french fries. In terms of going for authentic Mediterranean food, we could have swapped this out for something else, but that was probably more our fault than theirs just having something a little more neutral on the menu for less-adventurous eaters. The other five items were all significantly above average, with my favorite being the sprouts and my wife favoring the barley/pilaf. Also, the speed with which we got through our meal was noteworthy -- one hour as they rotated through plates one at a time. It was a well-oiled machine.

I really enjoyed the food; our server was attentive, and the place looks amazing—better than before.

Food was great as always with good service. Look forward to returning on my next trip. Crab cakes are large, delicate and good, but could have used more seasoning yesterday. Whipped potatoes were awesome. Family enjoyed the ribs as well.

We had a wonderful dinner and our server Scott was awesome! He was on top of everything without us having to ask, he made wonderful suggestions which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. We ordered the pork chop (which is my favorite), making sure to squeeze the lemon on top for a burst of surprising deliciousness. It was cooked perfect! Must say grab a cup of coffee with dessert. Thank you !

Server was great, good food selection and quality. Whiskey selection was fantastic
