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!
Minerva, Rockville MD
Nothing like an early milestone in any career – Minerva marked my 300th shoot about 5 years ago and I would be back to this one several times later on with the owner absolutely squeezing the photo opportunity he technically pays for in the first place. Curries are great, but tandoori grill sampler can be…
Himalayan Heritage, Bethesda MD
Himalayan Heritage is an uncommon and awesome traditional Himalayan restaurant with excellent mix of Himalayan and Nepalese dishes right off of Bethesda Avenue in Bethesda, MD. Another cool hybrid shoot that was nothing but pleasant.
Moh Moh Licious, Washington DC
Moh Moh Licious is a Nepalese quick bite shop alongside a pretty good coffee and drink shop. Food is really good and drinks are even better! If you’ve never tried MO: MO:’s, I highly recommend checking this place out! Quick and easy shoot and I always like seeing variations of Indian cuisine around town.
