The previous iteration was Paradise Fine Dine, Grill, Bar and Banquet that was also an Indian fine…

    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.

    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…

    Lasani Kabob was a pretty fancy Pakistani spot in Lorton with your usual selection of spicy goodies and a food bar on top of the standard entrees. The shoot went well from what I can recall.

    Azan Karahi N Kabab was a nice little shoot away from downtown hustle and bustle, located in one corner of Security Square where I70 dissipates into local roads. Simple cafeteria style decor, at least when I shot there, and simply good and honest Pakistani food.

    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!

    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…

    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!

    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…

    Spice Xing has some tough competition in Rockville Town Center, MD, but offers modern spin on their Indian dishes and the rest of the standard fare including good old fries, wraps, and so on. Food here is superb and I absolutely and highly recommend checking them out! If you are in Bethesda area, their sister…

    Nice little Indian place in Rittenhouse Square, Philly, and my first re-shoot for someone else’s prior screw-up. How do you ruin easy peasy food shots in a well-lit place was beyond me even back then. The food here is great and creative like the rolls/wraps instead of the standard bowls.
