I think I’m literally obsessed with this Vietnamese restaurant. Food is outstanding- my fav is the animal fries, but the bahn mi burger, the chicken skewers, the veggie rolls, and noodles are so freaking good too! And the boba?! Omg the boba 🤤…there...
Coco Bay Kitchen & Tea House - Waldorf
The food here is simply BOMB! Possibly the best Indian restaurant I’ve tried. Anytime someone comes to visit me from out of town…I bring them here and they RAVE about it too. Such a gem!
Bollywood Masala Restaurant – La Plata's Best Indian Restaurant
As good as this place is, it certainly does NOT get the recognition it deserves! Flavorful, good service, and overall good vibes- this restaurant should be getting so much more love. If you’re in the area, and you like Persian cuisine, you gotta try ...
Silver Skewers
The lamb chops & pizza here are SOOOO good! The broccolini is also scrumptious. Not only that, but the vibe at this place is so down to earth with a touch of bougie, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Galazio Restaurant & Bar
I know this is the Tyson’s Location, because this is the one I’ve been too, but there is one at the National Harbor now…Hear me out…the Brazilian lemonade is not for everyone, but it’s definitely one of my favs! Maybe it’s because I’m of Caribbean de...
Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse
Good food with reasonable prices are HARD to find nowadays…this is why Marie’s Diner is a staple especially if you’re on a tight budget. Their homemade cakes are to die for!
Marie's Diner
Hidden gem in White Plains, MD. The lamb chops & truffle Mac & cheese are absolutely amazing! A little on the pricier side, but it’s more along the lines of being more “upscale”. The drinks here are also good…I’d pass on the dessert, but othe...
The Prime Street Grille
Flavorful and fresh. My favorite was the chicken Rasta pasta. Loaded chicken Rasta fries were bomb af! The egg rolls could be better, they weren’t really rolled right, if you know what I mean- but flavorful nonetheless.
Ka'ribbean Fire
If you’re looking for a laid-back spot with great food and a chill vibe, Greene Turtle in La Plata is worth checking out. It’s perfect for a casual night out with friends or family. The crab dip is a must-try, and their wings are always on point. I l...
The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille
I don’t typically like filled doughnuts, but the ones from B doughnuts are SO yum! They’ve got sweet & savory options & their lattes are also amazing. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the area 😊
B. Doughnut La Plata
Now who doesn’t like silver diner? This place is always a safe choice for whatever dietary needs you have, and most of all it’s quite tasty, including the creative drinks. I’m allergic to a bunch of stuff, but I can never go wrong with Belgian waffle...
Silver Diner
Kabob bq is simply chef’s kiss delicious! The authentic taste of the herbs & spices, you know the chef puts his heart into these dishes. Anytime my dad visits from out of town, this is one of the restaurants he has to visit before he goes back ho...
Kabob BQ
Inside of this restaurant is so clean and the food is so fresh and tasty. If you love Mediterranean food as much as I do, then definitely add this to your list of places to try in southern Maryland if you haven’t already.
Momi's Kitchen
Now, if you’re a sweets lover like me, then you’ll love Mix n Sweetz. She’s got cheesecake jars, all sorts of cupcakes, and delightful cookie sandwiches that’ll leave your mouth watering. If you’re in the area, definitely check her out!
Mix 'N Sweetz Bakury
This is really good brick oven pizza if that’s your style.
