Kabab Palace Inc
Mar 21, 2008 by Zwannah from Seattle
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Great food, great portions.
• Gets really busy at lunch, can't find a seat.

“By far some of the best food I've ever eaten. I lived in Virginia for three years and ate at this place at least four times a week. Some of the best tasting food you could want. I've never eaten anything on the menu and didn't like it. It simply doesn't matter what you order, from lamb to chicken to beef to lentils to spinach, you will be satisfied. The portions are great, normally you would probably think they were giving you too much but ounce you start eating I guarantee you'll finish! My favorite is the Lamb Chop Kabab!”

Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Great menu, amazing warm salsa, soft lamb tacos, mole sauce.
• Can be loud; long waiting without reservations on weekends.

“If you want authentic Mexican food and small atmosphere, this is the place! Although very crowded on weekends (lines out the door) and can get loud, it's worth the wait and reservation. Some specialties include: chips and amazing warm salsa (best we've ever had), chicken with Mole' sauce (chocolate) unbelievable! And their soft tacos (have a combo of three - chicken, carnitas and lamb)! They also have a great chocolate flan. We lived in CA and this place is great!”

Ray's The Steaks
Mar 3, 2008 by Mark from Washington, DC
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Good food at a reasonable price.
• Rude staff, rushed meal, long wait for a table.

“Rays has good steaks at very reasonable prices, but if youre looking for a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience, you may want to look elsewhere. Most other reviews provide ample feedback on the food (which is good&be sure to try the crab bisque if you decide to go), so Ill just cover the elements that had a negative impact on my time at Rays. Expect to fight through the crowd waiting at the door to add your name to the waiting list, and dont be surprised when the shockingly rude and condescending hostesses are irritated that they have to interact with you. Technically, the restaurant doesnt take reservations, but seating times for the day are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Most people arrive hours before and request specific dining times (not a reservation?), so if you just show up when youre ready to eat, youre likely to wait two hours (three to four hours on a Friday or Saturday) before getting a table. Parking, ambiance and décor are non-existent, and although your food will come out very quickly (really, youll be surprised), you are expected (and reminded) to eat quickly and make room for waiting patrons.”

Food:[1] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Service not bad.
• Food made me sick.

“On December 10, 2007 I ordered the petite sirloin with a salad and I got food poisoning. I could keep anything down for a whole day and I had a bad case of diarrhea. I believe the lettuce was left out too long and possibly contaminated on the bar. Avoid eating here at all costs. If you do go to eat here only get something fairly safe like a baked potato or fries. .”

Food:[3] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Service is fast.
• Food not as good as it used to be and atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired.

“Years ago, used to be a very nice restaurant - friendly people and good food. Has really gone downhill lately and most of the dishes are very greasy and the premises needs a good cleaning. May improve in the future but someone else will have to give an update because won't be going there again.”
