    Tandoori Chicken Pizza

    This may be too long, but I think it's worth it. Three years ago my wife and I, from Arizona, were visiting our son and family in Rockville, MD. We were out sight-seeing and happened to stop at the K2 Cafe for lunch. When I spotted the Tandoori Chicken Pizza on the menu, I had to have one, and I wasn't disappointed. It was great! This past summer we visited again, and I insisted on going to K2 again. Imagine my disappointment when I learned that the Tandoori pizza had been taken off the menu! The 3 lovely ladies working there huddled up, and after a couple of minutes they said they could make me one. It was just as delicious as I remembered! While paying our bill, I spotted a jar of Tandoori Paste for sale, so I bought one to bring home to Arizona. About a week ago we finally got around to making a Tandoori Chicken Pizza, and after reading several recipes, i used only the Paste, Mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sour cream. (If you want to try this, BEWARE! The jar of paste is the HOTTEST thing I have ever touched to my tongue! Less than 1 tsp. will flavor just about anything, and I'm not kidding!). We used a pizza crust mix, and to my surprise, it turned out to be wonderful! We have since had Tandoori Chicken over noodles and also over rice. We have definitely added this dish to our list of favorite recipes! I want to thank the owner and the ladies working at K2 Cafe for being so friendly, kind, and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits there. If you are anywhere near Poolsville, stop in for lunch. You won't regret it!

    The nicest staff and the best food!! I tried the latte and the chicken salad sandwich with ciabatta bread. It was delicious and fresh. There are so many delicious looking pastries from a local baker that I want to try next time!! There is wifi and outlets to work as well.

    Update hours on google maps! Closing at 1:30 on Saturday? Crazy! Bathroom was disgusting and dirty. No toilet paper, soap, or paper towels.

    Hands down probably the best restaurant I have eaten at so far this year…read more Amazing food, friendly service, and a nice ambiance. The place can get quite busy so I would highly recommend making a reservation first. We ordered some cocktails which all tasted amazing, I enjoyed the espresso martini the most. Our table ordered the baked oysters and tuna tartare to start. The oysters were seriously so fricking good, I wanted to order another round! The tuna tarate was refreshing and tasted really good as well. I highly recommend ordering the fish curry or their scallop entree. I also got to have a bite of the chicken & waffles and the steak pasta but I would skip on those. Super excited to come back!!

    This was not what I expected to write after looking forward to lunch at Matt and Tony's for quite…read moresome time. But someone has to say it: the king isn't wearing any clothes. My wife and I arrived around 1:20 p.m. on a Thursday. The lunch crowd was still going strong, which only reinforced that we had picked a popular spot. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. When we walked in, there was no hostess to be found. After waiting about four minutes, she finally appeared and offered us a choice between a small table in the corner or one by the bar. Given how busy the restaurant was, we took the table by the bar. About seven minutes later, someone finally came by to offer us water and explained that our server was busy, but she would help us in the meantime. No problem. We ordered the Avo Goddess Salad and asked that it be split so we could share it. A few minutes later, our server arrived, introduced herself, and we let her know we had already ordered the salad and were ready to place our lunch orders. She was very helpful in guiding my wife toward the Old Bay Shrimp Burger. I was excited to order the Shrimp and Grits until I learned it contained Andouille sausage and, according to our server, couldn't be prepared without it. Since the restaurant highlights that everything is made from scratch, that surprised me. I ended up ordering the Ahi Tuna Salad instead. So far, so good. Then came the frustration. We spent the next 20 minutes slowly picking at our salad, growing increasingly hungry and confused. You know something is wrong when guests who were seated after you begin receiving their meals before you. Finally, at 2:10 p.m., our food arrived: my Ahi Tuna Salad and a Pulled Lamb Sandwich for my wife. Except my wife had ordered the Shrimp Burger. When we pointed out the mistake to what was now our third server, she quickly assured us it would be corrected. A few minutes later, our original server returned and took full responsibility. She explained that the lamb and shrimp items are next to each other in the POS system and she accidentally selected the wrong item. She assured us the Shrimp Burger would be out in two minutes and suggested we enjoy the fries that came with the lamb sandwich while we waited. Unfortunately, another ten minutes passed before the burger finally arrived. Here's where things became truly disappointing: the top bun was still cold--almost frozen. My wife ended up removing it entirely and eating the sandwich with just the bottom bun. At best, the Shrimp Burger was decent, but certainly not worth the wait and frustration. As for my Ahi Tuna Salad, it felt like something I could easily make at home, especially considering the $25 price tag. I'm also not entirely convinced the tuna was particularly fresh. I can't bring myself to give Matt and Tony's one star because the atmosphere is genuinely cool and inviting. So I settled on two stars--mostly for how I felt before the experience unraveled. And listen, I get it. Mistakes happen. We're all human. But as someone who eats out frequently, here's one piece of advice: when a restaurant makes a significant mistake with a customer's order, consider taking that item off the bill. Sometimes that gesture is the only reason a guest decides to come back.
