Lobozooma Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I haven't seen this mentioned but I noticed that Blue Star opened last week. I haven't been yet but it looks interesting. http://www.bluestarkosher.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Gardner Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I was there last Sunday- less than a week since the opening. I don't know whether to write about this from the perspective of someone who loves food and will eat anything, or someone with family members who are kosher. I really like the menu and am hoping that Blue Star succeeds. It has a way to go if it wants to appeal to a broader audience. The brisket is tender but needs more flavor. We had tacos and a baked potato topped with brisket. The ingredients all sound good, but there needs to be better seasoning and more attention paid to the proportions of ingredients. If something says it has tomatoes and onions, I would like to see more than a teaspoonful of each. There were also some issues with temperatures of the food. Desserts are from Sunflower Bakery and are quite good, although I had an apple pie that was served ice cold. It was the first week, so hopefully some things will get straightened out. My biggest hope is that I can say the food is good rather than the food is good considering it's kosher. I am going back next week to sample more of the menu. Fingers crossed.

DonRocks Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 [Given that Siena's Pizzeria was also Kosher, does anyone know whether or not this is the same ownership as before? This thread is in purgatory right now with me not knowing whether or not ownership has changed. Is this in the same shopping center as Goldberg's Bagels near White Flint? If so, that's a very Kosher shopping center, and could easily mean an ownership change (new thread) or not (same thread).] Lori, if you go again, could you ask?

Lori Gardner Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Already know the answer. Siena's has moved and Blue Star is in a shopping right off of off Nicholson on Woodglen Drive. This is not in the same shopping center as Goldberg's, which is on Boiling Brook Parkway. It is owned by Sina Soumekhian, who also owns Eli's in DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithA Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 As with all of the less than a handful a kosher places in the DC area, I wish them the best of luck - my strictly kosher friends need more good options. I will also say I checked the menu and the current prices are great for kosher food (i.e. pretty normal in comparison to non-kosher food). A $10 hamburger seems pretty standard at a sit down restaurant these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pras Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Don-- I think this article will fill you in on details. Same owner as Eli's, same owner as Sienna's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well the plus side for this place is that every year my father wants to have beef ribs for his birthday (which is May 28) and he can never find them on a menu. Not short ribs. Tony Roma's used to have them but they aren't around anymore. Needless to say he was thrilled when he found out about this place having beef ribs on the menu! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
