Germantown

Lunch buffet: $12, dinner: $15-25
11AM-10PM daily

A nice, comfortable Indian restaurant with a full bar that is most popular for its lunch buffet. The buffet is perfectly fine, if not much distinct from any other Indian buffet, but it is unique in offering "all-you-can-drink" beverages, including mango lassi! Most Indian restaurants charge exorbitant prices on their lassis, so this is a decadent treat.

Run by a family who were baking bagels in New York, who realized it was time to introduce great New York bagels to the fine state of Maryland. The bagels are indeed excellent along with the great breakfast bagel sandwiches, but there are also a bunch of tasty pastries and cakes behind the counter. From the deli come the enormous subs, which are some of the best around.

A very stylish restaurant, with food that has a good claim to being the best Germantown has to offer. Full bar, crowded F-Sa nights, and very vegetarian friendly.

A great spot for groceries or a sit-down meal, they have various vendors selling baked goods, fresh local produce, cheeses, candy, Amish soft pretzels, and fresh cut flowers. There is also a BBQ pit on-site mostly serving chicken, with the odd rotisserie rabbit thrown in as well as a small full-service restaurant.
