We absolutely love Mamma Lena. It's the best Italian restaurant in all of the DMV. Ever since…read morethe review in the Post, it has been almost impossible to not be crowded in any of the weekend nights. To ensure a non crowded time go on a Tuesday just after 5 pm. You get all the attention and can enjoy your food for a while without feeling guilty I taking too much time to savor every single delicious bite. We've tried almost all of the entrees in their menu and the hubbies favorite is the slowly braised short ribs. It's so flavorful. As for me and my friend, we love them all and can't just pick one dish. I do need to do shoutout to all of the different pizzas because, it is always cooked to perfection m, just enough char and the ingredients always stand out. The waiters and the greeters are mostly family and always never fail to welcome you. The bruschetta given at the start of the meal starts you out really good to the excellent food that is to come. And it's great that you're always assured of having at least two pieces per person because just one is definitely not enough. The tomatoes always taste as if it was picked from the summer garden at their peak. I love the fact that they have expanded so that you can now bring a bigger group to dine in.

Fair prices for decent pasta…read more I've gotten this place about a dozen times Tonight I got- Alfredo 2x carbonara Alfredo was good. Taste better than jarred stuff but not as good as other restaurants or homemade stuff. Lots of sauce! Carbonara was ok. One of them was under sauced (basically naked noodles. The other had a ok amount of sauce. One of them weighed a couple oz more than the other, and they both weighed several oz less than the Alfredo (on my cooking scale) All pastas came with side salads. Food was prepared fast. Never been in person .

My partner and I came here Sunday for lunch. We were looking for a buffet, but this restaurant…read moredoesn't have one. But it did have a lunch special. (We learned that in a phone call with the restaurant. It's not mentioned on the menu). Decided to give it a try. My partner got the lunch special (Lunch Thali - non-veg), which was a meat dish, saag paneer, daal tadka, rice and naan. I got the Chana masala, mulligatawny soup and an order of garlic naan. Everything was delicious. The chicken in the special did have a lot of small bones, so my partner did have to be careful with that. But the spicing of each item was very good. The plain naan was fine, but the garlic naan was outstanding. Heavy garlic and butter flavor. Just great. We took much of the food home and enjoyed it the next day. The garlic naan came back to life with a brief microwave in a wet paper towel. We'll be back.

We love their palak paneer, navaratna korma, daal tadka, malai kofta, garlic naan, dal makhani etc. The food is reasonably priced and generous portion. We love this place.

Hands down the best Thai food in the area. Sabai Sabai Simply Thai delivers truly authentic,…read moretraditional Thai flavors that you can taste in every dish. Nothing is watered down -- everything is fresh, balanced, and clearly made with care. If you love heat, their Thai spicy is legit. It's bold, flavorful, and actually spicy the way Thai food is meant to be, not just heat for show. So good. This is our go-to spot for real Thai food, and we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Adorable cafe with some of the lightest and fluffiest pastries. It's unbelievable this place has…read morebeen there for two years and I am just finding it. Located in the shopping center with Woodside Deli and Gold Gym this place is too cute for Gaithersburg. It barely has a social media presence but it is so photogenic it needs to be more popular. The pastries here are mostly animal shaped. Thus the adorable part. I ordered the following: -Bear shaped cocoa cream puff -minion cakesicle -hello kitty macaron -croque monsuier -basque cheesecake -a ridiculously cute frog cake -brown sugar milk tea Everything tasted as good as it looked. The cream puff had a whipped frosting and a light mousse filling. The savory croque hit the spot when surrounded by sweets. The cake omg could devoured in one sitting by one person. Light cream and filled with strawberries. The pastries here are so light that they almost feel strangely healthy and don't leave you feeling heavy. The bubble tea however, was a little sweet. I would've very much preferred if we had a choice of how sweet it could be but otherwise it's really good. The service is friendly. There's a few tables to sit down and hang out at. I can't wait to come back here and get the tiramisu.
