Masala Art, Tenleytown

I wish to recommend Masala Art’s $9.50 Indian Lunch Buffet. I’m generally not a fan of lunch buffets, Indian food sometimes being an exception due to its long-cooked nature, but even Indian buffets often contain cheap, poorly made dishes; not … Continue reading

Le Diplomate, 14UP

Is this really the only thread we have for Le Diplomate? (Well, it’s still relevant – they are trying to hire (get this) a total of FORTY servers.) As I approached Le Diplomate from the south, two things struck me: 1) It … Continue reading

Woodward Table, McPherson Square, Downtown

Luckily for me, Woodward Table is right across H Street from Nantucket, so I could walk right on over with my new X-treme do (I look like a combination of Ivan Drago and a pencil eraser). It’s happy hour from 4-7, with draft … Continue reading

TakEatEasy, Downtown

It’s ironic that because TakEatEasy *isn’t* in a gas station, it might have more trouble surviving than when its owners were at Fast Gourmet – the “cool” factor is gone, and it’s now going toe-to-toe with the likes of Malaysia … Continue reading

Daikaya Izakaya, Chinatown

Last night was Daikaya’s first “official” night of being open, and after a long walk across town, I got there at 4:30, only to discover the Izakaya opened at 5 (the ramen house is open all afternoon).  I walked next … Continue reading

Stachowski Market & Deli, Georgetown

I went to Stachowski Market & Deli today and tried the Braunschweiger Sandwich ($8.99) for the first time. It was an excellent sandwich, and for the price it was amazing (it is indeed enough for two small meals). Made with Jamie’s homemade braunschweiger … Continue reading

DGS Delicatessen, Dupont Circle

I’ve now been to DGS Delicatessen three times: December 23rd (when I ran into an old friend at the bar), December 24th (with my favorite dining companion in the whole, wide world), and January 7th (with Mark Slater, to celebrate his new … Continue reading

Menomalé, Brookland

In my last pre-hurricane meal, my young dining companion and I returned to Menomalé which we enjoyed before, and we enjoyed it every bit as much this time around. Matt began with a San Pellegrino Aranciata ($3.00), the blood orange version of … Continue reading

Al Tiramisu, Dupont Circle

Sometimes, when you read restaurant reviews, a reviewer will close with “I’ll be back soon” (and then they never end up going back). But I really, really want to go back to Al Tiramisu soon, and here’s why: I’d been … Continue reading
