DC๐ฝ Perfect for Group Dining: Balkan Buffet Style ๐ฅง
This Balkan cuisine place is really delicious! Three of us ordered a variety of dishes, and none of them disappointed. It feels like you can order almost anything and enjoy it! ๐ Here are a few highlights from today's meal: ๐ฅ Beef Short Ribs Goulash : A must-order! It's incredibly satisfying, especially for those with a Chinese palate. The slow-cooked beef with carrots and rice is hearty and comforting. ๐ ๐ Fried Chicken : Another must-try! The chicken is tender and not your typical fried chicken. It comes with diced apples, which add a refreshing crunch. ๐ ๐ Drunken Mussels : The mussels are delicious, and the sauce is perfect for dipping with naan or bread. ๐ฆช ๐ค Grilled Shrimp : A standout dish! While the shrimp itself is good, the highlight is the yellow corn mush underneath. It's sweet and addictiveโI couldn't stop eating it even though I was full! ๐ค ๐ฅ Chicken Stroganoff : The chicken is tender and perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes are amazing! The seasoning is just right. ๐ ๐ฅฆ Roasted Cauliflower : The cauliflower is well-roasted with a green sauce underneath. It's a nice change from boiled cauliflower, though it's just what you'd expect from roasted cauliflowerโdelicious but not extraordinary. ๐ฒ ๐ฅ Vitamin Salad (Apple, Cucumber, Carrot, Beetroot Salad) : This salad is hearty and refreshing, perfect for cutting through the richness of the other dishes. It's topped with pumpkin seeds and has a slightly salty flavor from the marinated vegetables. ๐ฅ ๐ Tomato Soup : Tangy and very appetizing, we ordered one bowl and then added another. It's a great way to start the meal. ๐ Here are a few dishes that didn't quite hit the mark for me: ๐ฅฉ Steak Tartare : Many people recommend this, but I've had better steak tartare at other restaurants. It's average, so if you have a big appetite, you might want to give it a try. Otherwise, save room for other dishes. ๐ ๐ฅ Spreads and Dips : This classic appetizer comes with a basket of bread and naan, along with small dishes and dips. Almost every table orders it, and the waiter will recommend it as a starter. However, I found it pretty average and not very impressive. ๐ ๐ Cevapi Balkan Kebab : This dish was a bit salty and greasy, and since we ordered it towards the end, it wasn't as enjoyable when we were already full. ๐ ๐ฐ Lunch: $27.99, Dinner: $49.99 ๐ AMBAR Restaurant has several locations in the DMV area, so you can choose the one closest to you. #food #life #buffet #delicious #USA #DMV #DMVarea #DMVfood #DC #DCfood #DCrestaurants #DCbuffet #foodie #foodshare
