Almost 2 of driving and waiting and it's 10000% worth it. We saw the Philly on our favorite YouTubers channel and he rated it a 9.5/10. My boyfriend's family is from Philly so we had to try it out. When we arrived, it was a long line but it shortened pretty quickly. The guy at the front was super nice and was a boss at handling all the orders. We ordered a Philly with no Mayo, added peppers with a side of fries. The wait was about 25 mins and the food was piping hot. We immediately dug into the fries (after saying a quicker prayer of course) and was pleasantly surprised. They tasted like a better Micky D's fry! We instantly regretted not ordering 2. Since the ride home was long, we pulled over for a taste test. It was AMAZING! It was creamy. It was flavorful. It was meaty. It was nostalgic. My boyfriend doesn't normally eat dairy but he definitely took 3-4 big bites lol I rate it a 9.5 out of ten. I wish they used green bell peppers instead of red and the next time I'll add jalapeños or banana peppers for a 10/10 experience. This has definitely become a staple in our food rotation.

The meats were flavorful and of high quality. I liked the pickled onions on top, great unique touch from the deli. I don't think it needs the mayo on it, I'd prefer oil and vinegar next time. The butcher case with all the meats is worth checking out...they have some solid prime cuts in there.

The roast turkey subs were huge- with thinly shaved turkey packed in so full- and my kids ate every last bite. I ordered "The Italian" as it was the special, and it was so delicious! It has their homemade Italian dressing, salami, hot capicola, and provolone. I re-ordered it again! My mom also ordered several desserts: house made cannolis, banana bread pudding, oreo cookie mousse, tiramisu, and chocolate mousse cake. Everything was wonderful! I really liked the banana bread pudding. The real gem was the chocolate mousse cake, which was so amazing that we ordered more slices in our next orders.

My wife and I are regular customers and there was nothing regular about our lunch today…read more There were plenty of booths available and we were seated right away, that's where the good part ends. I ordered my regular, pastrami sandwich on rye and a cup of chicken matzoh ball soup. The soup came out lukewarm and without much taste, seconds later came my pastrami which by the time I finished my lukewarm soup the pastrami was also lukewarm - and very greasy. The pickle bar had dry sauerkraut and the pickles were mushy. Got home 8 hours ago and I'm still sick as a dog. My wife ordered her regular turkey sandwich with Russian dressing- turkey is always dry but this tasted old, old and dry. She threw out the 1/2 sandwich she couldn't eat. Even the iced tea was off- too strong and warm even with the ice cubes in it- I guess it was just brewed. Our server was mostly M.I.A.

This restaurant blends two unique cuisines into its menu and they work harmoniously. I ordered the Tokyo Sushi platter with the Ethio Veggie platter. Both stood on their own, but complimented me very well after long bike ride. Mita Cafe served the best prepared sushi I've had in a long time. Generously sized, fresh, and more flavorful than expected. The veggie platter had the perfect amount of kick and texture. Each dish had unique flavor profile and were clearly fresh prepared. I recommend trying the Ethiopian tea too! Mita Cafe is owned and operated by a lovely couple honoring their respective cultures through their passion for food. If you're a sushi snob, I highly recommend you visit. If you're looking for a slam-dunk quality meal with a homemade feel, I recommend Mita.

They offer both Ethiopian food and Sushi, a combination I hadn't seen before. I came in for breakfast and got some ful, which was freshly cooked with spices ported over from the market section. It came with grilled bread, fresh garnishes, and a large quantity of what I take to be ayib or some similar fresh cheese. It was an impressive dish. I got some sambusas to go, which were spicy and hearty. The practicality was a bit of a struggle; they offer a QR code menu but I struggled to get service and there wasn't wifi that I could see. I got kind of slow and distracted service; my to-go sambusas were just sitting there ready and waiting for me and I had to go to the counter. It was a small business kind of vibe and I'd be happy to come back and try sushi.

The avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg topped with Japanese black sesame seeds is my go-to order, and the sandwiches are consistently good. Their cocktails are excellent, and the bar side makes a great venue for private parties or larger gatherings. I am apparently in the miniscule minority, but I find the drip coffee a bit too dark and somehow slightly burnt for my taste. Fortunately, they make an outstanding Dirty London Fog and a wonderful London Fog Chai Latte, either of which I'd happily order instead. All manner of alternative "milks" are available as are a pretty decent selection of local beers in their cooler if you are grabbing take out. Be prepared for a wait on weekends--this is one of Takoma Park's most popular brunch destinations. Like many cafés these days, it's a favorite of laptop-wielding remote workers, so tables can be at a premium. In my experience, though, solo diners are often gracious about moving to the communal table when they notice [or more likely are asked polietly if they wouldn't mind moving] a larger group waiting. It's just one more example of the friendly neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
