I live about a mile from the ChicKing in Albany, and I knew there was one somewhere in Maryland. So…read morewhen I was my road trip home from an event, I searched the location, and lo and behold, it was 1 minute off my route. So a lunch stop was required. The restaurant is behind a mall, so you'll have to drive around a bit to get to it, depending on where you enter. The restaurant was quiet and very clean. We were greeted immediately upon entering. Ordering was difficult, because they have so many items I like and so many possible combinations and options. To make the choice even harder, they had some great daily specials too, one of which we took advantage of. Everything takes a few minutes to prepare, but that's because everything is made fresh to order. We got a chicken combo which included both regular and spicy. The spiciness was just right, and all the chicken was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. And as always, I had a hard time slowing down as I devoured the tandoori fries. We had leftovers, and they were nice enough to repackage it for us and provide a bag for everything. And I see they have had more restaurants open since my first visit at home, and I expect quite a few more, if the quality and feedback continue to be top-rate.

Thai Meric is fast becoming one of our go-to choices for dining out in Frederick…read more We've now visited about 3-4 times, and the consistency of our experience here is impressive. On our last visit, a few Sunday nights ago, we popped in at dinner time on impulse and were seated immediately, though it's not a big space and it gets a lot of traffic. We walked through the little bar to the interesting and well-appointed dining room. I ordered a Singha beer and my wife got her standard Thai iced tea, very well made here. We split an appetizer of delicious crispy firecracker shrimp. She got her favorite, Pad Thai with shrimp, and I got mine, creamy green curry with chicken (I chose a 3 out of 4 on spiciness, which was close to my limit!). Both were terrific, As always, the service was efficient and polite. We haven't tried this place for carryout yet, because I think we just like sitting there so much. If you like the unique flavors of Thai food served cheerfully in a pleasant atmosphere, I think you'll like Thai Meric.

Getting takeout was easy and quick. They had clearly labeled vegan options, and I got their version of red beans and rice, which was a hearty, warm dish for a cold day. Among the vegetarian but not vegan options, I got a samosa chaat which had an appropriately diverse mix of flavors and colors, and a chai, which I asked for unsweetened. The spices worked, but I wished I'd just gotten the lightest sugar level. I got a solid two meals out of it, good value for the money. The menu had more things that would be worth trying from my perspective. As fast food goes, this beats most conventional options easily.

They are great about moving people in and out. I love how they show what is locally sourced on the menu, the healthy options on all pages, and the seasonal additions. Our waitress was busy yet attentive and the food was outstanding. I don't remember the little strawberry compote coming with the pancakes before. Brunch mimosa for 6.99 and they fill her up ! I will say that it's been about a year since I last visited and the place appeared to be well taken care of and cleaner than I remembered. Today's visit was very much about the little details I noticed since last visit.

My family and I were traveling from Western Maryland back to North Carolina, and it's become a…read moretradition for us to stop here. During our trip in July 2026, we walked in and was immediately greeted by the hostess, Rylan. She seemed a little flustered about not having a supply of fresh silverware for give to us, and we had to wait for them to bring her more. She was apologetic for the wait and seemed genuinely embarrassed, but we assured her that it was ok and it wasn't her fault. Once we were seated we were greeted by our waiter, Jose. This guy was a rock-star! Customer service was top-notch, and he was extremely friendly. I ordered a plate of Loaded Cheese Fries to share with my son, as we weren't very hungry. When the food was brought to our table it was hot and delicious, but the fries cooled down fast and became stale-feeling. But, to be fair, I suppose that's what happens when you load refrigerated dairy producted on top of hot fries! The men's bathroom was very clean and well kept, and the booth seats were very soft and comfortable. Other than the fries cooling down way too quickly, I have zero complaints and would recommend this location to my friends and family!

I also got an extra garlic sauce on the side... just love. Until next time.

I feel like I found a favorite near us. It's not one of those places where I would travel to, but…read moreif you're relatively close to Urbana, it's worth a stop. It's a small mart that specializes in middle eastern Mediterranean cuisine and ingredients. They place does not have seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. So plan on either take out or picnicking. They make the food right as you order so things are fresh. The part I really liked about this place was that the sauces were not overly salted - to increase shelf life - and the amount of oil/butter was not overly used to try to mask the ingredients. It's more on the "let the ingredients speak for itself" which I really dig. In the end, you don't feel heavy after the meal and you feel like you had a hearty and healthy meal. My favorite was the lamb shawarma. He toasts the outside pita and it gives it a nice crunch. The lamb is fresher than other places and he doesn't over season it to hide the lamb smell. Other places - if you notice - tends to use cumin a lot of mask the lamb smell. Not here though. The falafel sandwich was okay. It was colder than the lamb shawarma. But the falafels were made right there in front of you. I got the sujuk sandwich too (which is a type of sausage). It was a breakfast burrito basically. Our order took 20 mins to make and he makes it right when you order. So be prepared to stay there and peruse around. Some ingredients there were interesting. The one thing that caught my eye was a bottle of pomegranate molasses. He sells it close to 50% what Harris Teeter would charge and he has various brands of pomegranate molasses. I use pomegranate molasses to make grenadine for cocktails. Also has orange blossom and rose water (also both used for cocktails) I like this place and the guy is nice and sweet.

The chicken in the sando was so flavorful and perfectly spiced. I really appreciated that as a big fan of spicy food. The chicken wrap was also really good. The only down side was that the food took a while but it's a small price to pay for such good food. I recommend this place for anyone who is a fan of chicken sandwiches.

Just a heads up, I only like flavorful spicy food, not stuff that's just hot. The angry hot flavor did bring the heat so try at your own risk. The service was great and the inside was clean.

Notably, they made an Indian fusion pizza for the buffet on our request. I was a bit surprised in the sense that the Indian food was higher quality than the pizza was. It was a spicy dal they had, there were a variety of vegetarian dishes and salad, and fresh items came through regularly. I'm not a huge buffet person but they did a good job of it. The paneer pizza was a bit underwhelming (the pizza, not the paneer), but I was able to find plenty of things worth eating.

There are much better restaurants in Frederick with similar food. If you want to save money though then this will suffice. I personally will not be dining here again.
