They do a really good job with their fried chicken and it's halal.The curry lamb is also very good too. The chick peas are only second to Kabab Palace in Crystal City.Staff is always friendly and courteous.
9. Smokeshack Ribs Restaurant

The Smokeshack is a takeaway only joint just off of MD 210 on Livingston Road, and worth a stop as a real-food alternative to chains. We ordered the North Carolina (NC) style pork sandwiches with beans, potato salad, and greens, and found the sauce to be piquant but not overly vinegar-y, and the meat soft and tender. The beans were on he sweet side, with touches of cinnamon rather than a spicy take, so keep that in mind if you like beans that taste straight-up of brown sugar & butter! The potato salad was a mild mustard type and nicely integrated. We couldn't wait so we ate in our car in the parking lot...along with others!

This place is great, wonderful ambiance, booths for privacy and a great menu. Party of 6, we chose the table menu, like family-style. The appetizer was fried calamari and shrimp.Ti arrived on a large platter,food 6 inches high. Followed thus with a large ceasar salad, also generous and very tasty- not too much dressing. The entree was meatballs and spaghetti.-delish-hugh meatballs. By this time we could not finish and took it home. Service was prompt and polite.We had dessert of chocolate cake, a huge portion shared by all.

We had Dinner at the Cadillac Ranch when were attending the conference nearby in August. We were a group of 4 so the variety of choices on the menu was great. My husband and I both chose the pasta dish and we both loved it. Would definitely order it again. Our friends both ordered steaks and said they were good. The atmosphere is nice -- a bit fun. Service was okay but not super great hence the 4 star. Our server never returned after the meal arrived to check if we needed anything or give us an opportunity to re-order drinks. We had to flag someone down to get the bill. But overall a good experience and I would recommend.

We once had a run in with a server here a few years ago that tainted our opinion of an otherwise phenomenal evening. We overlooked that event and ventured here again. We were not disappointed! Service is definitely 5 stars from the greeting until the exit.Iâve gone to few steakhouses and this divine piece of meat was the best iâve had in a long time. It was succulent. Even the asparagus was well prepared maintaining that slight crunch and flavorful. After the seafood tower and the bottle of wine, we decided against dessert. We were stuffed. No need to go overboard. Weâll definitely go back!

Grabbed a quick drink and some apps on our way to Top Golf during happy hour. The oysters were $1.50 each and the oyster rockefellers were only $2 each. They were delicious!!! We kept ordering more of the baked oysters. The dungenous crab was not our favorite. Not anything like blue crabs or Alaskan Snow Crabs. Bartenders were friendly and attentive.

7 PM Monday night, convention in town, and I was looking for good food, good value, served reasonably quickly. Only one other person in the place and half the tables and all of the booths already had chairs stacked on them. Ordered Pick Your Pair, half sandwich/half salad. No salad available of any of the six choices. OK then, half sandwich, half soup. Tuna on wheat with lettuce tomato and hot peppers (they forgot the peppers); chicken enchilada soup (I know where the peppers went, and I like things spicy, wow). Service was very slow given I was the only one ordering and they never asked me what I wanted on the sandwich until I was paying so there must have been some call in orders that were ahead of me. No eye contact from any of the three behind the counter. Totally disinterested staff. Not a warm experience at all. That said, the sandwich and soup were tasty, a full meal, and good value for only $8.85. So if you want good food, good value and below average service, this is your place.

My girlfriend and I went there for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. We were both craving Fried Green Tomatoes. We both had their Fried Green Tomato Salad and a Deviled Egg. We both raved about our meal. Since I am not a big Arugula person, Eubin, our great waiter, got me some Remoulade Sauce. What a treat!

We were anxious to find something fun to do in the evening and this fit the bill perfectly. We reserved a table in advance (5/pp) & arrived at 7 to order drinks and snacks before the show. PS- I would recommend eating before-hand as the food was not great. Servers were very friendly and accommodating all along the way. Not a big crowd the night we visited but we made up for it in enthusiasm. Very talented piano players & overall musicians who played many of our requests, although it's clear that they have some favorites planned, just in case. Don't miss this show if you're in town!! Joanne, this review is the highlight of my morning (wait, plus the Nats win in OT last night). Thanks a bunch for taking the time to post and being so detailed. We appreciate you!

So I live in DC, but have a son in DC and a brother in Alexandria. My brother, who knows All the best places to go in his adopted home town, took me to Volaâs, and since my first visit it has become a staple on my DC itinerary. I love it for lunch...sitting outside with oldies music playing. We start with oysters...one of each...and Sangria. For lunch, anything on the menu is great! The service is friendly and professional. Joyous...that is the best way to describe the experience!Thanks so much for the kind words, Lois! We're so happy to be a part of your DC itinerary, and to know that we bring some extra joy to your trips to see family. We'll look forward to your next visit!
