  1. Another possibility is Gringos and Mariachis. It is loud at dinner though, not sure if they turn the music down at lunchtime.
  2. Went here last night for takeout after my daughter's swim practice at GP. I got the the shawarma platter, wife and daughter got falafel sandwiches. While as Daniel points out, it's not unlimited salads, the volume of salad provided in the platter was more than enough. I thought the shawarma was well spiced, and there was a lot of it. It was accompanied by a soft and pillowy pita. They had three types of schug, all of which were very tasty. I had it topped with amba and tahini. Wife and daughter really enjoyed their falafel sandwiches as well with daughter exclaiming that it was moist and not dried out as she is typically accustomed to. She also enjoyed the flavor (I didn't get to try any). The sandwich was overstuffed and even though she had just "swam 10-50's" as a part of her swim practice, she wasn't able to finish it. All of the entrees allow you to get a pita, laffa, or platter. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Will definitely be back.
  3. Happened to be in the vicinity yesterday and therefore stopped by. The market has now been remodeled and taken over the restaurant space. They still have kabobs to go at a counter, but no longer ear-in tables. The market is now bigger and not cramped like before. It is a nice refresh and makes for a better shopping experience.
  4. Sad news ... Max's is closing on 7/28/2022. "We have had the privilege to serve the community since 1994 when we opened Max’s. Our falafel and shawarma turned us into a popular destination and gave us opportunities at FedEx Field and Nat’s Park. With much sadness, we are closing Max’s and our last day of business will be July 28, 2022. We want to thank everyone for their patronage over the last 28 years. We have been extremely lucky to have such a long history of serving the community and very grateful for the opportunity. We have worked tirelessly over the past few years to move Max’s. We were given the opportunity to move closer to the community however, due to conditions beyond our control, we are not able to relocate. If the right opportunity arose, we would welcome the idea of reopening. Max, Larry, and Justin Dekelbaum"
  5. Had the clam at Montgomery Mall last week. Clams appeared to be canned and were a huge disappointment. We were happy with the other pie we ordered though. I meant to ask if canned clams was temporary or what they plan on using full-time. If fresh, I would give the clam another shot. As far as eating in, we arrived early around 5:30 and were seating immediately. There was a short wait by the time we left. The big story is the volume of carry-out orders they have been receiving. Evidently it is off the hook and the wait can be over an hour at peak times. Not sure how well it travels, as the two times I have been there we ate there. First time was a medium pie for my daughter and myself (half plain and half with black olives). It was really good, nice crust, nice char, and good flavor. The medium was really too much for the two of us, although I powered through it. Second time was with wife included. This time we got two smalls--the aforementioned clam (with canned clams) and the other was again half plain and half black olive. We finished both, but it was the right amount. As mentioned previously, the winner was the half plain/half black olive.
  6. Pretty sure Kossar's is under new ownership and not the same as when it was a burnt out storefront. Not sure if this has had any effect on their product. It looks like it was cleaned up and has a much broader menu.
  7. I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. Would have loved to try the Rockville location.
  8. Traettino Family squabble over the future of Positano, which opened it doors in 1977 and may be closed forever (Credit--Bethesda Beat). I had not been here in years, but have fond memories of prom dinners, family gatherings, etc.
  9. This restaurant which was open since 1985 (assuming it should have also been on the longest open restaurants list) is now closed per the announcement on their website. Not sure if it was the pandemic that caused it, but I am sure it contributed. The main menu here was always pretty solid. I know they used to get a bunch of Korean tour groups through for meals while visiting DC, the loss of that business probably hurt. Their other locations are two stalls at the nearby Lotte Market: Aery and Ichiban Mikoshi Sushi. Neither have the same quality as the original.
  10. In a sign that the apocalypse is coming, Continental Pizza now has a website with online ordering.
  11. Picked up a pie from here on Monday for the first time. First, kudos, to the most contactless pickup I have seen yet. You walk up, show them your order on your phone through the window, then they place it on a table by the side door--very good system. As far as the pie is concerned, it was great and definitely the closest to NY style pizza I have had in the area. Cheese, sauce, crust, it had it all going on.
