The food is okay, not great. The Rogan ghosh (?) a mutton curry dish my friend ordered was watery and full of coloring, and not a careful blend of Indian spices as it should be. The restaurant does claim to sell "home-cooking"; my friend is from India, and she was appalled. Also, the owners are nice...
I really wanted to like this restaurant after all of the hype (and I love to dine out here in DC); however, my expectations fell flat when I made a reservation. The service was terrible. The waiter couldn’t be bothered, the bar tenders were rude and not knowledgeable or helpful in any way. The food ...
I almost missed Henry's Delicatessen the first time I went there. It's well marked but on a fairly residential street so I actually bumped into it. Boy am I glad I did! It's well worth any trip because the food is amazing! It's good old fashioned soul food so if you're looking for a neo-fusion v...
If you would like to have a real, authentic Japanese sushi experience. In the hands of Chef Kawasaki, sushi becomes high art. An extraordinarily special restaurant in an unusual location, but well worth going out of your way for. I ate at the sushi bar and found the chef to be friendly and inform...
If you are an Indian, you won't care for this place. The food is mediocre at best and the service is ok, but not that accommodating. The sweet lassi tasted like they just spooned 100 tbsp of sugar into it and when we asked them if we could switch them for less sweet ones, they told us that sweet l...
It's the worse restaurant experience ever. I think things have changed since the last review on this restaurant. We went there with kid and sat outside for 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to greet us or at least bring the menu. Finally, a waiter comes in with a frowning face and gave us the menu. ...
If like just to chill and happy hours or want to celebrate another day of your life, just go to Little India. They offer mango margarita to burgendy and other beers at a very affordable price. The price cannot get better than what you will find here. Moreover, if you are students or senior citizen...

Got food poisoning on Feb 17 2007. Owner is a rude uneducated person...Wants no accountability.
I only want to review the host. As you walk into annies with a smile on your face at midnite with freinds and have had a few drinks, laughing, it soons turns sullen as the host, who just stands there and glares at you approaches you. he just says."what?" no kidding! This is the rudest person I v...
this place is excellent, worth the hour it takes to get there from southern maryland. the food makes your whole body melt. truly authentic mexican cuisine
Annie's is a landmark in the nation's capital. It is a gay establishment that is friendly and is frequented by a lot of straight patrons and families. The waiters joke with the customers because it is a neighborhood type of restaurant and it is only natural that if the waiters get to know you they...
I have to agree I loved the food and service
This place is small, owned by a couple I believe from Naples. They cook everything themselves, and only pastas, but they are as authentic as it comes. You need to go literally right from work, because the place will have a line out the door at 630 and they do not take reservations, but I promise you...
The best indian restaurant experience I had so far, as I have been to many
Dined at Aria in June of 2006 with three other friends. Kitchen: Sloppy. Three of four orders had to be sent back to kichen for various reasons: a chicken/artichoke salad with no chicken; another chicken/artichoke salad w/ no artichokes; an overcooked steak. Next, two of the three new meals had to ...
My experience at Tuscana West was amazing. The menu has a large variety, which met the needs of the pickest eater I know. The place has a great atmosphere, but the bar is what really stole my attention. It's gorgeous, the cocktails were UNREAL, and the bartenders are really cool! Any professional...
I had dinner with some business colleagues at the Capital Grille in DC during the Book Expo. We were all from out of town, all had a wonderful dining experience, and found the food top notch as a widely reputed restaurants food should be. I spent years as a chef and appreciated the treatment of al...
We took our family to Kinkeads for dinner to celebrate our children's birthdays. The food was over and beyond our expectations. The seafood was supurb and even better than we have ever had. Kudos to Kinkeads!
Very small restaurant but what a delightful experience. It's is as though we entered a small restaurant in Kyoto, Japan. Remove your shoes, put on slippers and sit on small stools at the bar. There are tables as well. Excellent sushi and sashimi as well as other cooked fish dishes. Service was outst...
Guapos is a place to go for some good food, not for the ambience. The theme of the restaurant is tex-mex, but the setting isn't the focus of the meal.
