[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roses Luxury - overrated

Call your mothet — overrated

Bullfrog bagels - underrated [/quote]

I feel like Rose's Luxury was very good for the first few years and has gone a bit downhill. Though I admit our most recent experience with them was takeout and we have been underwhelmed by takeout from all of the nice places we've done it from, except for Masseria. They really nailed it.

A place I rarely hear mentioned but that we love right now is Emmy Squared. We have gotten really weary of all the Neopolitan-style pizza and wood fired pizza in DC, so it's a nice change of pace (Detroit-style, which is kind of like deep dish, but it's own thing). And their salads and sides are also great, as well as their cocktails.

For Indian, our favorite is Cusbah on H Street, though I heard it might close due to the pandemic. It would be a real shame. It's not as upscale as Rasika (which we still love for a nice night out), but I think their Vindaloo is the best in town, and love their little patio.

Oh, and the reason I replied to the above post is that I completely agree regarding Call Your Mother and Bullfrog Bagels. We've been Bullfrog fans for years and it's our go-to for weekend bagels. We finally tried CYM in Barracks Row after so much hype and were underwhelmed. Their most popular sandwiches are way too meat-heavy and while the bagels are decent they aren't as good as Bullfrog.

I also recommend Buffalo & Bergen at Union Market for bagels. And while it is not my thing, my husband loves DC Fishwife at UM. And we both love the dosa place there![/quote]
