Definitely worth checking out!

Seen the place a ton of times and decided to stop by on a whim. It's in Beltway Plaza next to the…read morepho spot. You can access it either from inside the mall or from the parking lot outside. They offer Peruvian staples and much more. You've got the charbroiled chicken, but there's also some saltados, tacos, burritos, wings, gyros, and more. Now, usually I'd get a Peruvian staple, assuming that's what they're known for. But I had a taste for some other random things. I decided to get their lamb gyro and 24 karat wings. It was around lunch time so it wasn't empty in there, but it wasn't crowded. It was obvious some of the folks were regulars... everyone was nice. My order was taken and I got it within 10 minutes or so. When I got home the first thing I had was the gyro, which wasn't bad! The lamb was flavored a bit differently than I'm used to, but the texture and everything else was good. With the name, I was expecting the wings to be... golden, and they weren't at all. The flavor was good, but I was definitely expecting a different aesthetic. Wings are made well. I'd go back to try the Peruvian staples, hope they are good!

The Cedars of Lebanon is an easily-overlooked cafe right on the corner of the Old Greenbelt…read moreShopping Center which is a lovely hidden gem. I spent every summer in this town, growing up, and I never discovered this restaurant until a precious friend brought me here a few years ago. It's a dated, though efficient, and charming, cafe with fresh dishes you might love. Firstly, if you plan on having lunch here on a Monday, make sure you are able to finish by 2:45 since they close by 3pm. All other days, they are open past 8pm. We started with the sweet potato soup despite the fact that the reviews for the lentil soup here are the highest. Yes! If it's featured: get it! The turmeric and coconut milk make this soup delightful. The herbs made it so fresh and there was just the right amount of sweetness and gentle heat. Parsley really adds to this recipe and I'm not usually a fan of this herb. The pitas are soft, thin and light. Love them. We needed to order more. I've never had such paper-thin pitas. Yum! I love love love the hummus, here. It is nothing short of divine. The flavors are fabulous and deeply complex. You can really taste the tahini. The olive oil is mild and delicious. I exclaimed, "the hummus was the best ever." And then 5 minutes later, I read a review by Yelper James H. where he says it's the best ever and, "... this hummus at Cedars of Lebanon might have ruined all other hummus for me forever." While I've had similar swooning feelings over the hummus at Lebanese Taverna in Tyson's Corner, this hummus is at least a top contender if not the metro DC area's hummus winner. The cucumber mint yogurt salad is nice, cold and refreshing. You can really taste the mint. I would order this yogurt salad with every meal. The falafel pizza is unusual and fresh. Straight away-- you can taste the tahini, parsley and couscous. The dough is grainy and natural. And there are radishes on this falafel pizza: not overpowering. For the $9 or so pricepoint, this dish is a true labor of love. To prep all of these vegetables, even with food processors, must take time. How novel of a dish! Put the yogurt salad on this pizza. You will thank me. And I only did it because I was watching someone else slather it on. There were at least 12 desserts on the menu. Meow. If we weren't so full of pita, hummus, tahini and fresh veggies, we certainly would love to taste a few of these. As well as the Turkish coffee, with an authentic ceramic and metal carafé presentation.

Pretty easy, breezy no-frills restaurant…read more We stopped by Cedars of Lebanon, because it was one of the few places that had outdoor seating and was not full. The restaurant has a small outdoor dining area with three four-seater tables, which was find for our two dogs. The experience overall was pretty low key, which necessarily is not a bad thing. Although there is waiter/waitress service, you will have to order your food at the cashier's counter. Actually, maybe that's only a thing if you are dining outside. The menu has a nice mix of Middle Eastern dishes. I went with a beef (or maybe it was lamb) kabob plate. The portions were fine and my meal was pretty good. It was not out of this world amazing, but it got the job done. I thought that the prices were pretty good for the area and the amount of food received. Although the food was fine, I do not think that I would go out of my way (e.g., driving more than 30 minutes) to dine here. Just be aware that the restaurant does not serve alcoholic beverages.

I was happily greeted by the man behind the counter. After observing the menu, which included not just buns, but ice cream, smoothies , bubble tea and some sandwiches and salads, I approached the counter. I said, "Since it's Buns Cafe, I should try your buns, right??" And he happily obliged... they have regular sized ones and mini ones... which honestly don't look all that small, and you can get 3 for $5 (or the regular sized one for $4). The frosting was thick on it too! The man asked me if I wanted it heated, and how could I say no? I went to sit down and I dug into it. Phenomenal. It melted in my mouth, the temperature was perfect, and I really liked the flavor of the frosting. It was more than just vanilla. I don't know exactly what it was, but I would go back just for that bun... and now I'm excited to explore their other options! Who knew such a gem was so close to home???

Gone are the blue walls and no more of the carry out feel. I remember this place had some of best bacon but you can tell the quality of food has gone out the window. I walked in and was greeted by a guy taking orders. His customer service skills were good. That was the only reason for the 2 stars. I ordered the wings and waffle, Belgian waffle and breakfast platter along with 2 drinks for $42 bucks. Not too bad. We sat at a table and the food came. Once again, the guy at the counter was great. He made sure to bring over our waffles while they were hot. That was the only part of the food that was good/decent, hence the second star. The rest is poor quality and belongs in the trash. The eggs were not real and god awful. The 8 wingettes came straight out of a freezer bag/ air fryer. TRASH. The bacon was fresh out of the microwave. I'll never ever come back. The food is that bad. If there was anyone standing outside needing food I would have happily given it to them. This place has fallen off a cliff hence the empty parking lot. It is a hard no for me.

This is a new Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken carryout and quaint counter-service diner - with around 6…read moreto 8 tables so far - with delicious seasonings and much on the menu, including seafood, angus burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches and cheesesteak subs. This restaurant is also halal. They just opened a few days ago with a full menu offering including tilapia, grilled salmon, red snapper, grilled shrimp and catfish. The fish entrees can be grilled or fried with your choice of seasonings: lemon pepper, Cajun, garlic, Old Bay or plain. The chicken and the fish are spectacular here. Definitely get the fish tacos! Lovely. Choose your fish and whether you want it grilled or fried. I chose fried tilapia. Choose your toppings: I got lettuce and salsa. Also ask for a bit of coleslaw on top. And then add the yellow sauce. So delicious. I also very much enjoyed the grilled tilapia with Old Bay. It was served healthy and clean vs. liquidy and juicy so I added the yellow pepper sauce for pure divinity. I also might recommend requesting a little drawn butter on top if they can do it and you like that sort of Maryland-style texture. Seriously, very good price points and value. You can also choose your sides with the fish and I enjoyed their delicious coleslaw with fries. I'm picky about cole slaws and this version has a nice slightly garlicky - very mild but just enough to be regionally unique - flavor. And the yellow sauce is so good with the fries, as well as ketchup. I also ordered a side of white rice which is delightful here. They cook it properly so that it is perfect rice-cooker clumpy vs. smooth and falling through your fork. They season it with just the right amount of cilantro and spices so that you could enjoy eating it plain. I always need butter or soy sauce but with their rice, I don't! There menu is ever-evolving but they also offer New York Strip Steak, a lamb chop entree (which they say is popular at their other locations), burritos, bowls, quesadillas, nachos and fajitas. And the menu includes 5 kinds of smoothies and 4 kinds of milkshakes. I had a quarter chicken meal with yucca fries and rice and beans and it was lovely. You'll see the large rotisserie chicken roaster slowly cooking all of the chickens while they cut yours' right in front of you, Peruvian-style. You will also get the mild yellow sauce that I mentioned earlier and green hot sauce which is traditional. That Peruvian Aji Amarillo (yellow) sauce is only 25 cents extra for more and the salsa verde is hot and flavourful. You can choose from your sides: yucca, cole slaw, fried rice, white rice, French fried, plantains, rice and beans, pinto beans or black beans. I also tried the cheesesteak. The 12-foot sub with its fillings is good. The sliced beef is seasoned. The amount of provolone cheese is generous and tasty. I added the spicy green sauce they give you for an alternative take but they do have jalapeños. Didn't ask about red hots. I asked if they could toast the sub roll, next time, and he kindly said yes. The quesadillas are massive and delicious. If you get steak added, ask them to slice it smaller maybe unless you prefer big pieces, which might be harder to chew while eating finger food versus using a steak knife. I love their 2-layer lemon cake! It's very tasty, moist and fresh. Do not miss the tres leches! The tres leches cake here is actually the best one I've ever had because it's more sweet and tasty. I only wished they served coffee with it but since they just opened, they are looking at what will sell best in this area before expanding the menu and beverages. (They do serve coffee at one of their other locations, so let's see if more locals around here ask for it since it's not a typical Peruvian restaurant offering.) I think many people are going to want to start eating here more because their food is that good. It would be nice if they could put more tables outside in front of the restaurant but I haven't seen others do that in this shopping center. On a side note, I'm a decades-long fan of the original Peruvian chicken restaurant in the NoVA area known as El Pollo Rico but there is only one in Wheaton. Years later, there are many other Peruvian Chicken restaurant spin-offs in the region near this location but none have come quite as close to Peruvian Charcoal Chicken & Grill in terms of flavor and seasonings. Sure there are some other local restaurants with Peruvian chicken and more seating, but I most enjoy the flavours of the rotisserie chicken at this expanding chain.
