My Lyft driver was kind enough to make a quick detour, and Hamdi took incredible care of me. He put together the freshest-looking bowl (I haven't even dug in yet, but just look at it ). The customer service? Top tier. Now... I was fully planning to pass on the mint lemonade, but Hamdi insisted. And when I tell you it's a MUST... I had no idea I was even thirsty until that first sip. It is ridiculously refreshing. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and go check them out. You won't regret it.

We come here for two big reasons: the Friday trout salad special and the lentil soup. Love them…read moreboth! Balkan Grill is a small restaurant located in the same strip mall as Bob & Edith's. There is one table plus a fair amount of snack bar seating. In the summer they put a table or two outside the front door. The trout dish comes with a a very freshly tossed salad dressed with a light and pleasant vinaigrette. The trout is lightly seasoned and very good. The pureed lentil soup is absolutely delicious and is accompanied by a very generous serving of fresh, soft and warm bread. They make the bread on the premises daily. I do wish the soup was served at a lower temperature. It is scalding hot and takes a bit of time to cool off. Service is friendly and very good.

I can't remember his name but he and his partner Wynn gave impeccable customer service. I started out with an Orange Wave to drink while I waited for my sister. She was about 30 mins late. I wasn't rushed and I didn't feel uncomfortable waiting for her to arrive. I chose the lobster omelette. It came with potatoes and a mixed salad. The potatoes were crispy and the lobster was nice and buttery. The atmosphere was lively. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and you never know what local celebrity you may see. 10/10

Some reviews I've seen have called this place one of the best fried chicken in MD. Dunno about…read morethat, but the 4 pieces (leg, wing, thigh and 1 tender) were damn good. Great skin and crunch and very juicy chicken. But it was the sides that were even better. Had Mac and Cheese and Slaw. Slaw was perfect and the portion big enough that I took the mac home as I couldn't even start it while dining there. Gobbled the mac as a midnight snack later and, even having to nuke it warm again, the mac and cheese was flavorful with cheesy goodness. Only thing I thought was just okay was the 2 cornbread that came with the chicken. Just okay. Overall, decent prices for good quality. I'll be back when I come around the area again.

I forgot why I don't come here as often: because I'm so tired of getting home and realizing we are missing something from our order. Today was no exception. I would say it's not a good value as you rarely get what you pay for. The staff is pleasant. The homeless hanging out isn't great. The good IS good though. So be prepared to check everything. Oh and the phone for the place is a google voice number that isn't answered so you can't call to let anyone know there was an issue.

Great Food....& Ambiance to match!…read more I am slightly obsessed with visiting Thai restaurants around the DMV and this one does not disappoint. Set in Alexandria, off the 495 corridor, is Pasara Thai restaurant featuring a casual dining experience and vibe with interesting tables with wood carvings and artwork throughout. The lighting is nice and you can find intimate settings for a date night or tables large enough for friends and family. The food menu is crazy big, extensive and seems to have something for everyone. The food is usually quite spicy, so if it isn't your thing, as for mild flavoring! Everything I have ordered from the pad Thai, curry Thai dishes and roasted duck have been delicious....full of flavor and of great portions for the price point. This time around, I placed an order to go for dinner later, and the staff was so nice. I ordered Roasted Duck Basil & Fried Crab-Shrimp Balls. The duck dish was one of the best I have ever had. It had the right amount of spice, heat and flavor. Not to mention, loaded with stir-fry vegetable and a sauce that was finger-licking good.....simply, delicious!! My favorite dishes thus far, is the Pad Thai....very popular here and the Spicy Seafood Pad See Ew. If you're looking for spot for quick, fast casual take out or a nice night out....try Pasara then the theater across the street! You will not be disappointed. I recommend.
