    Food was 100/100 and I couldn't have been happier to eat tonight from Ben Yehuda Pizza. This is a shop located in the Kemp Mill neighborhood. It has plenty of parking and they serve kosher vegetarian and vegan food. All pizza cheese can be substituted with vegan cheese. I just wish they also offered gluten free options but I can't complain much given how delicious their food was. I had a bad day at work but their cheesy gooey delicious pizza and cheese sticks totally made my day. I'm looking forward to returning in the future to try their other menu items.

    I drove 45 minutes, on purpose , to have a slice of pizza at this restaurant. I placed my order, gave my name, and was told that the pizza would take just a little bit because the last two slices in the hotbox had already been sold. I sat. Then I waited for the next 25 minutes while other people's orders came out and were delivered to them at their tables. Four families came in after me, and were served within 5 minutes of arrival. One couple had the exact same order as I did. A grandmother came in and was served a slice of pizza and a slushy immediately and then when her grandson finished, she went back up for a second slice of pizza and a second slushy. While I sat and waited. I had to walk up to the counter and request my food. Never. Again. UPDATE: The owner reached out to me directly, and I am satisfied with his response to the situation.

    9-inch pizza - half supreme, half Greek

    Let me start by saying that I do not keep kosher. But I heard that the pizza from Ben Yehuda was so great that I decided to try it yesterday. I was not disappointed. I ordered a 9" half supreme/half Greek pizza. The supreme has green peppers, mushrooms, veg sausage and pepperoni. The Greek half had kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and feta cheese. Crust was crisp and tomato sauce rich and appropriately sweet. Cheese is high quality and toppings generously apportioned. If you do not finish the whole pizza, it reheats wonderfully in the toaster oven.

    Great customer service and very tasty pizza! I'm happy to have this place close by. The only critique is that it is a bit on the expensive side but it iss tasty!!

    Ben Yehuda Cafe & Pizzeria is a Kosher pizzeria located off of Lamberton. They also have subs, salads, soups, fries, sides (such as baked potatoes, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc.), and desserts. I tried their Lunch Special, which comes with a two slices of pizza and a fountain drink. Instead of getting both slices of cheese, I got one cheese and one of their 'specialty' slices, a veggie. The cheese slice was pretty delicious - thin, super cheesy, and the tomato sauce was the perfect amount of sweetness. The veggie one was forgettable, as it didn't really have much flavor, considering it had a generous amount of veggie toppings. Even though it was a lunch special, the price was a little steep ($8 for the combo, $9 with tip). I'd probably just stick with their cheese pizzas the next time! Plenty of parking in the shared lot. +Kosher pizzas! +cheese pizzas +little steep in prices +ample amount of parking in shared plaza lot

    For full disclosure, I know one of the owners of Ben Yehuda Cafe & Pizzeria. The owners are good, decent, honest people doing what they can to make a living by serving an under served pizza eating population -the Kosher Pizza Eaters of Montgomery County Maryland. The above said, my review is honest. No matter the reason, if I don't write fair and unbiased reviews, my impact and value as a trusted review is nil. My commitment to myself is to be honest with all my reviews. As always, my review is based on my experience (Wednesday April 13, 2017 at around 7:15 PM) and based on the what I had to eat (two slices of cheese pizza). I want to break this review into several categories: Location Environment Cleanliness Staff Menu Food To fully understand how I landed on my rating I think it's only fair (since I know one of the owners) that I fully disclose how I reached my overall rating. Location - the location is outstanding for a Kosher Pizzeria. The Jewish population in the area is large, the need obvious. They did a wonderful job of finding a location in an area of need. The shopping center that Ben Yehuda is in has other shops that serve the community, yet also offers a lovely park area and is welcoming to everyone passing by regardless of faith. Environment - I didn't know what to expect. The sign has one look and feel while the actual establishment has an old NY pizzeria feel; I'd guess about 14 tables, each with 4 - 8 chairs (I think that is about right, I didn't count). Like old style pizzerias the menu is over the counter. You order at the counter, sit and wait while the pizza (and other items) are made fresh. They do offer single slice servings that are kept warm in a pizza warmer, not unlike what you would see any place that sells single slices. When I was there they had only cheese pizza slices at the ready. All in all I liked the look and feel, very understated, minimal decorations (I don't recall any), red and white colors. Simple, tasteful. Cleanliness - I am a clean freak, Dirty places or places look dirty or feel dirty or give off an air of "not clean enough" drives me nuts. It's my belief that if you serve people, serve food, you have an obligation to keep every table, every chair, every counter spic and span. There is NO EXCUSE EVER for not keeping your place clean (napkin holders full, chairs pushed in, table tops and counter tops clean, floors swept.) As important, bathrooms MUST Be spot less. People are dirty and hygiene seems to optional for too many. I don't want to touch other people's goo, ever. (Being a single dad, I really hated cold and flu season, runny noses ... EWWW.) The eating area was clean, enough, not to give me the Willies. The bathroom, well, I had issues. Simple things - co-ed bathrooms, great concept but that also means locks that have to be touched, doors handles that have to be touched and, with no urinals, the opportunity for misses and messes is just WAY to high. As the bathrooms are one seaters, there is no getting around the fact the bathrooms are just not going to feel clean. I would have avoided going, but you do what you gotta do where you gotta do it when you gotta do it. They need to get auto facets, auto toilets, push doors and hand towels (air dyers don't work), seat liners would also be of value. They should also consider a different trash can as I don't feel the one used in the bathroom I was in is practical (very big, poor location). Would I nix going here because of the bathroom? No, but I would bring my own hand sanitizer and perhaps a few paper towel (or at least grab a few napkins from the table) Staff - As many of you that have read other reviews, I have an extensive background in customer service and hospitality. (My company, Verho Communications, gave out it's first service award for outstanding service in 2017). I am all about service. The young woman at the counter was very friendly, nice smile, positive greeting. The listening skills were a bit lacking, but in the end, it was a very pleasant interaction. Menu - they have a large menu that includes items of the non-pizza variety. I didn't spend a lot of time looking at it, but as long as you are not searching for meat (meatballs are made of soy) I think you will find an item or 5 that you will enjoy. Prices - Gotta say that I do know that Kosher is going to add a bit of a cost. I don't know how much, but I am assuming at least 2%. Also, since they are a rare pizzeria with a defined customer base (Although VERY WELCOMING TO ALL) they do have the opportunity to increase their prices, perhaps another 3-5%. I though the prices for their pizza (personal on up) seemed fair. $7 for two slices of cheese pizza was a bit much; when I can get whole pizzas at 7-11 and Little Ceasars for $5, comparison does them no favors. Is $7 out of line? No, just pushing the high end of a slice of pizza. Food - (running out of space) the food was fine, perhaps not fresh as I had pre made.

Beautiful tiles, love the black-and-white, crisp,…read moreclean look, and new booths -- though I didn't try sitting in one yet, didn't think to as I was on a mission to get to all the Israeli restaurants around for and on Israel Independence Day, ha ha! (And yes! I succeeded!) The benches are a light, bright-looking wood. There are also regular tables for those who prefer that .... It's amazing how much spacious seating is packed into this little place! I wish the outside reflected the new, light beauty but I guess the treasure is only to be found by those who venture in .... As an Israeli-in-America, I appreciate the selection of Israeli drinks in the cooler, and of course the national snack of falafel! Some say they don't put fries in the pitas -- well, yeah! That's true! If you don't ask, you don't receive! I ask! I receive! I do sometimes find the sandwiches to be kind of messy, so I try to sometimes get less various salads and pickles and such so it's not completely overflowing -- because this place is GENEROUS! Of course, if you're not used to kosher food, you'll probably not understand that it does cost more because for one thing (out of many!), there has to always be an 'extra' person called a mashgiach (supervisor in Hebrew) who oversees everything to make sure it's all, well, kosher! Kosher meat is more expensive, too. And yeah, meat doesn't come with dairy! So that is not available. I heard someone asking if they had a cheeseburger and had to work to not crack up about it! I LOVE the grilled eggplant bits you can get put in -- they're special, not in the regular line up, right there at the end -- because not only do they add so much flavour and texture with so little bulk, but eggplant is one of those things I usually cannot eat because it hurts my oh-so-sensitive tongue, but this place makes it per-fect-ly, mmm ... ! So delicious! I enjoy both purple and green cabbage and carrots, but I don't like the flavour of the onions. That makes me sad, because I LOVE onions, but these ones have something on them that I don't like (looks like it's sumac -- which is ironic, because that's something that I normally love and use all the time!) and I end up picking out when I sometimes forget or get hopeful and just get them again anyway .... Actually, the onions are one of the few condiments here I do not like! The pickled beets are great -- and of course, great for your liver! They are cleansing, nutritious, and boost your Russian-ness, to boot! Or your Russian Jewishness, anyway .... I know that eating them makes my grandmother proud! The benefits of eating here are not and are also not like ones you can attain in just any regular restaurant, and it's here for people who want this kind of thing. It literally is a cornerstone, being on the corner and providing the things certain of us need -- Israeliness, Jewishness, kosherness, etc. It's too bad it suffers from bad reviews by people who don't understand or care. By the way, the work that goes into making all these salad items fresh every day is, let's just say, a LOT! I almost always get the falafel -- I used to get a platter, but it was too much for a meal so I switched back to the classic pita version and that's a perfect amount for me for a meal, plus I feel it's better for the environment because it comes packaged minimally in a little parchment paper rather than a recyclable aluminum plate with a non-recyclable aluminum-and-paper top. Truth be told, I could have trouble finishing writing this review because thinking of Oh Mama Grills' falafel is making me so hungry! I am really getting in the mood for some right now! Other things I eat from here regularly (and have for years): Israeli salad Moroccan (vegetarian) cigars Rice Other things I know are great by way of seeing the delight on my eating partner's face while consuming: Okay, I so I don't remember, but various meat things! Chicken, I think .... Things I don't love from Oh Mama Grill: Bean soup -- didn't have enough flavour for me .... Sabich. I dunno. Just didn't love it! It's hard to top falafel, in my opinion -- well, this falafel from this place, that is -- so I don't feel the need to explore the menu very much .... There aren't a whole lot of places (if any!) that offer such a variety of salads, pickles, and sauces! As an absolute pickle-lover who finds pickles and not just that but a variety of pickles a MUST for my diet, this place has it going on like no other! Update! Tried sitting on a bench at a booth! It's pretty hard, not super-comfortable, but doable -- however, a harder seat is better for your posture and health long-term! The falafel pita with toppings aplenty is so delicious, I am craving one right now ... and, in case you've ever tried some of the marinated types of vegetables here and found them too sour, I did too! Now, that is fixed. They are no longer so sour, and are therefore much more eminently edible! My eating partner agrees.

I stopped by this location in Silver Spring - it's located inside the Whole Foods - before a movie last week. Since it was my first time at PLNT, I ordered something traditional - the PLNT Cheeseburger (plant-based patty, caramelized onion, pickles, plant-based American cheese, green leaf lettuce, roma tomato, PLNT sauce, and potato bun). As a very failed former vegan (10 years as a vegetarian and vegan in my late teens to twenties), I was most worried about the vegan cheese (I remember having some pretty awful vegan cheeses in those days). The cheese was fine actually. The burger itself is okay; it kind of tastes like TVP (textured vegetable protein), a little dry, not too flavorful. But my real issue with the burger was its assembly - it was so covered in sauce and gooey cheese that the bun was sliding off before I even tried to pick it up. It was one of the messiest things I've ever tried to eat. And that's what I'll remember about my first PLNT Burger experience - not the flavor, but definitely the messiness of it. It was fast, which is great if you need a quick meal. And since it's in the food court area of Whole Foods, you can also grab other things while you're waiting for your meal or after. If you're vegan or vegetarian, this PLNT Burger might be a godsend and you might love it! Too messy for me!
