Fusion Flavors, Hagerstown MD
Modern Indian fusion spot named simply Fusion Flavors, all the way out in Hagerstown MD. Shoot went smooth, everything looked amazing, but I left with my tastebuds dry, so there isn’t much to say about the food aside from its solid presentation and amazing aroma.

Yaar Spice, Rockville MD
Good old Yaar Spice that I got to shoot twice last year and it’s always been a pleasure doing so! When the bosses forget about a shoot on the 3th run, it doesn’t bother me since the corpo clients still pay me, and reschedule was arranged smoothly for a pre-lunch timeframe as opposed to being…

Chit Chaat Cafe, inside Mobil1 Vienna, VA
Well this place was a surprising treat to say the least thanks to chef Tihara’s warm hospitality and quick prep of the dishes. They have a sign outside that helps notice that the spot is inside the Mobil1 gas station, and I have done loads of similar setups that are almost impossible to find when…

Basil’s Pizza Subs & More, Gaithersburg MD
Basil’s Pizza Subs & More is an old, great spot right next to IHOP (one of which I have shot before), and also the same little plaza where I bought my most recent mobile billboard last year! This shoot was very pleasant and the food was great! They really have a variety of cuisines that…

Aladdin Restaurant, Arlington VA
What used to be Aladdin Sweets and Tandoor eventually became Aladdin Restaurant and this shoot went perfectly fine some years ago. Half made to order entrees, half the good and usual Bangladeshi buffet style kind of place in west Arlington off of Langston Boulevard.

St. Veg, Rockville MD
My second time here and this place remains the very same as a couple years ago – all sorts of vegetarian ideas made into pretty familiar dishes with a nice Asian twist to them.

Unique Take on Fried Chicken – Chicking, Frederick MD
Now this I did not expect to see, but apparently it has been out and about all over the rest of the world – an Indian and Middle Eastern take on fried chicken using their exotic blend of spices that easily rivals most of the recent Korean takes on our Southern concept of a deep…

Taj Palace Indian Cuisine, Warrenton VA
Taj Palace Indian Cuisine was a nice shoot in a spacious and proper kind of spot, somewhat unusual for the area. When you travel out to various bumblef**ks of our nation, it is always nice to see some real flavor added to them with international fare and Taj Palace did Warrenton just right!

Use Your Own Phone! – Spice Kraft Indian Cuisine, Alexandria VA
To-date, Spice Kraft Indian Cuisine in Alexandria had some of the best presented Indian plates I’ve seen! Head chef cares about both flavor and the presentation, and as a former hobbyist photographer it shows in his dishes – Once he introduced himself to me with his brief, relevant backstory, both him and his manager brought…

Bombay Street Food, Columbia Heights DC
Bombay Street Food I’ve shot several times over the years and they’re a fancy hip spot despite their name and were always prompt with the food for my hungry camera. One of the shoots I was packed into a side room/closet with but one window, but I made that window shine as you can see…

Variety and Spices of Life – Spice Village, Herndon VA (Kallisto Steakhouse, Peri-Peri Original, Khyber Shinwari, Mandarin Halal Chinese)
Quite the mouthful of a post title, but Spice Village almost rivals the relatively new Asian food halls in the sheer variety of the food they offer here! Kallisto Steakhouse has grills and fries of shmeat; Peri-Peri Original adds some competition to Nando’s and Galito’s African grilled chicken; Khyber Shinwari is your good old Indian…

Urban Tandoor, Arlington VA
Got to shoot one of the overall few local Indian chains, Urban Tandoor, at several of their locations and several times per location. Overall solid food and smooth shoots each time!
-
Agni South Indian Cuisine, Sterling VA
Agni South Indian Cuisine or Agni Bar and Restaurant was a neat little shoot where the owner took some shots as well, and being located in the same plaza as one of my fave Irish pubs O’Faolains that has sadly closed down. Agni featured some very neat table decor that I haven’t seen in too…
-
Hot Breads, Kentlands MD
Hot Breads is a local Indian bakery and kitchen as a 2 doors for 1 separated place that I’ve shot twice in all. Overall good selection of food and having a properly setup bakery taking care of Indian breads is a huge, huge plus!

Himalayan Soul Food, Food Truck, VA
This was a quick and nice MO: MO: shoot at the prep kitchen and maaaan were these little Nepalese dumplings good!
