    Gobi Manchuria- not good
    Cici H.

    I came here because the Yelp reviews were good. I must have ordered the wrong thing. I did a pickup for gobi manchurian and samosas. The samosas were decent but not my favorite. The gobi manchurian, just do not order this. Maybe I had high hopes but this was very much straight from a frozen food box. The sauce was super salty and the gobi tasted like it was microwaved and the sauce was added. After a few bites, I trashed it. I was the only guest inside besides a bunch of folks picking up orders. I'll stick to my place in Catonsville. 2 stars for the friendly service and decent samosas.

    Chicken Dum Biryani
    Prasad A.

    Tried this Indian restaurant last week and had a great experience! The chicken dum biryani was most excellent! Very tender meat cooked to perfection. I think I found my favorite Indian restaurant in the area!

    Goat Rogan Josh

    Overall I think the food was pretty good. My wife and I came here for late lunch and got the Mango Lassi, Goat RoganJosh and Chicken Dum Biryani. If I could, I would give about a 3.85 star, but have bumped them up :) Food: Mango Lassi - Not like others Ive tried, seemed more like mango smoothie. Still drank it though, but Dont think ill get it this again) Goat Roganjosh - Pretty good goat and sauce. I think I got the bonier meat portions but still quite good. I like spicy food but not to the extent you need a fire extinguisher, so "medium" was the right level of spice for me. Chicken Dum Briyani - It was decent. The rice looked pretty, but didnt have as much flavor. The Good thing was it wasn't too greasy/oily and the chicken was very moist. Not the best Ive had, but it was alright. Customer Service: Our receptionist/host was very nice and and pleasant. He came and checked up on us at appropriate times. Waiting Period: - The goat dish came around 12-15 minutes, but the chicken briyani took about 30 mins!! They were somewhat busy but it definitely was not a full house (Think about Covid seating). It seemed a little long but don't want to knock them out just for this one time. Will try and come again for a second visit to try their persis special chicken ;)

It is certainly the best restaurant in Catonsville, and you won't have to pay $50 for one dish (like you would at say Beaumont). We have like 10 favorite things on the menu--I just tried 2 new dishes last night--and now maybe that number is up to 12. You basically can't have a bad order, the food is absolutely delicious. If you like spicy food and ask for spicy, they will actually make it spicy which is SO nice. (Usually when I ask for spicy and emphasize SPICY anywhere I go, I get a mega mellow spiced dish and it's hugely disappointing). My top orders are chicken xacuti, kerala fish curry, kashmiri naan, mixed spicy pickles, and malai kofta. Oh, and kheer (so good). I love it all. Not only is the food phenomenal, the ambiance and service is top notch. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous and spotless. The front of house staff wears button up shirts and dress pants. There are fresh flowers (and if I remember correctly, candles) on the tables. There are beautiful murals painted on the walls. It's absolutely romantic. And! Cherry on top: it's BYO, so you can bring your own bottle of wine. Absolutely a gem on Frederick Rd.

I've seen this spot when driving in Catonsville and have been meaning to test it out. I ordered some veggie samosas and saag paneer (spinach sauce with cheese chunks). The samosas were very good, a little spicy, and came with a green and brown sauce. The saag paneer wasn't my favorite, it was very concentrated and the spinach flavor was incredibly overwhelming. It was bitter and I had to stop eating it. When I ate the second portion, I added some heavy cream to lighten up the flavor and it was a little bit better, but I've had better saag paneer. I would try this spot again, especially since it's so close.

When I picked up the order and started eating it, it was extremely spicy to the point where I could visibly see all the spice in it. It was completely inedible for me. I called the restaurant politely just to let them know there may have been a mistake because I know for a fact I ordered mild. I even double checked while placing the order because this is something I always order the same way. Instead of trying to help, the guy on the phone kept insisting that I ordered spicy. That made absolutely no sense because why would I intentionally order food I literally cannot eat? I have no tolerance for spice at all. What made it worse was how dismissive and rude the conversation became. He kept saying things like "I heard you correctly" and blamed it on two orders coming in at the same time. Instead of taking accountability for a simple mistake, he kept trying to argue with me and basically imply I was lying about my own order. I even went back to the restaurant to explain the situation in person, and he still kept insisting that I had ordered the biryani spicy. At that point I was so frustrated that I just threw the food away in the trash right in front of them and left because there was clearly no effort being made to resolve the issue. The frustrating part is this is not even the first issue I've had here. Another time they completely gave me the wrong order but I didn't make a big deal about it because mistakes happen. This time was different because of how poorly the situation was handled and how defensive the employee became instead of trying to resolve it professionally. I've been ordering from here for a while, but after this experience and the customer service I received, I definitely will not be returning.

The first time I came here was for dinner with my family and we all got food poisoning the next day and this was the only meal we had together that day. The second time was even worse, it's probably the worst service I've ever received. We sat down at a table by ourselves because there was no host or any staff. A server came out and saw us and gave us menus and water but then, he just disappeared. Half an hour later, another staff member came out and sat at the front desk. We waved at her to get our server and she said he'll be right back. I don't know what could have been keeping him busy since we were the only people there. Then when he finally came out, five mins later, he proceeded to talk with the other staff member instead of checking on us. We just left the restaurant and neither of them said anything. The third time (because I never learn) I came here was for the lunch buffet. It was again, completely empty except for my family and me. The host did seat us this time and was very polite. We went to try the buffet, a few of the food items were missing (like it wasn't ready to serve) and the kitchen staff was bringing them out as we went up to get our food. The food was mediocre at best but thankfully none of us got seriously sick this time. Although, we did have some stomach problems later that day. It was probably the best experience I've had here but that's because I set the bar so low for this place that it made me surprised to have a mostly normal dining experience. After three times of being disappointed at this restaurant, I will never go back here again.

The buffet contains various curries, rice, chicken biryani, salads, tandoori chicken legs, etc. The buffet doesn't include any kabobs though. Everything is kept on a buffet table (similar to a cafeteria-style one) with plastic lids keeping everything warm. The food is definitely done in a very homestyle-like manner. I didn't think the foods offered through the buffet were quite spicy or anything. If anything very homestyle (tasty with a chicken curry that had meat on the bone) and mild on the spice flavorings. I really enjoyed eating the yellow daal.

I didn't realize the storefront was inside the Lotte and I had to ask another local business how to find Biryani and Bakers. Once inside the Lotte, it is in the back left corner. I came to pick up my food 30 minutes after ordering online and it was still not ready, so I had to sit and wait another 5 minutes or so while they finished up my order. Service was friendly. Once I brought the food home it was still very hot (even though I had picked it up 45 minutes prior). The butter chicken was INSANELY spicy despite asking for mild, but I will say the chicken pieces themselves were well seasoned. There was a hefty amount of food, it was about 2 large portions of food (3 if you ate smaller portions), which is reasonable for the $25 I paid. Overall, I would try this business again, but I wish that it wasn't as spicy! I am not someone who has a very high spice tolerance.

Shrimp were good no wow factor, wings were good just plain but would have been better if they had a sauce and the burnt ends had more of a smoked bbq flavor which was different than usual but very tender and tasty.

For entrees: crispy chicken sandwich with fries and chicken Mishkaki. Can I say, wow the portion required stretch pants! The sandwich; meat to bun is 20% more chicken than bread. It was seasoned and fried to perfection. The fries are in house cut and seasoned well too. The chicken Mishkaki is dish never tried before but reminds you of Nazan Halal's chicken with more of a rich tomato stew flavor with peppers, onions. It was about 8 to 10 skinless thin thighs seasoned and fork tenderness served in its own plate, then another plate with rice and the fixings.

I almost didn't though, once you dig past social media, you'll see a mix of good and bad reviews, and for a split second that gave me pause. Glad I ignored that feeling. We came on a Saturday around noon for lunch with the family. Addy's sits on the edge of a larger shopping center, nothing flashy, but easy enough to find. When you walk in, the counter is right there and the dining area is pretty small, maybe 8-10 tables total. We were greeted right away by the woman at the register, let her know we were dining in, and she handed us menus to take to our table. I had seen reviews mentioning clutter or stacked plates inside, but that wasn't the case at all during our visit. Everything was clean and in order. They had some jazz playing over the speakers, which gave the place a chill, quiet-to-moderate vibe. Lighting was average, not dim, not bright. Seating is a mix of booths and tables with chairs. I started in a chair, then slid over to the booth side of the table for more leg room. I was never uncomfortable either way. There was one person waiting on food when we arrived. We ordered at the counter and had our food in about 8 minutes, which felt quick. The same woman who took our order also brought the food out, smiled, and checked on us after. No complaints at all on service. It wasn't busy while we were there, but on our way out there was a line of about six people, so it clearly picked up. What we ordered: * Brisket Quesadilla - Shredded brisket with melted cheese in a tortilla, served with sour cream and salsa. The brisket was tender, well-seasoned, and had a light smokiness that came through nicely. * Beef Ribs - Fall-off-the-bone, smoky, saucy beef ribs with fries and cornbread. The cornbread came drizzled with honey, which honestly threw me off at first. I was like, this is either about to be really bad or really good, and it was definitely the latter. Almost cake-like, moist, and flavorful. I usually skip cornbread at BBQ spots, but this one hit. I can see how someone might feel the rib portion is a little light for the price, but not enough to stop me from ordering it again. * Mixed Mishkaki (Beef & Shrimp) - This might've been the standout. East African-style kebabs in a sweet and spicy marinade, served with rice and salad. The beef was insanely tender, I could've cut it with a cheap plastic fork. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, mixed with peppers and onions. It came out sizzling on a hot plate, fajita-style, which surprised us in the best way. Best bang for your buck for sure. This plate could feed two regular people... or one big back. I'm big back...lol * Cajun Chicken Tenders - I usually expect cajun to be dry-rubbed, but these were saucy, and still really good. Definitely coming back to try other flavors. Price-wise, meals range roughly from $9.99 to $24.99, and overall I thought the value was solid for what you get. Maybe some room for debate on the beef ribs, but everything else made up for it easily. Honestly, there wasn't anything on the menu I didn't want to try, and I don't even feel like I've found my go-to item yet, which is a good problem to have. As for the negative reviews I saw beforehand? I don't know. Maybe wrong day, wrong time, or they caught the place during a rough moment. Our experience was smooth, the food was fire, and the restaurant was well kept. Out of a few spots I've tried because of social media hype, this one was probably the most accurate to the hype. It made a big impression on both my wife and me. I live about 40 minutes away, and I'll definitely be back to dine-in or takeout, though I'd probably dine in so the food's hot. Great spot for a lunch date or grabbing takeout. If you've been on the fence like I was, go check it out.
