Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Let’s get this out of the way if you want the most bang for you buck get the build you or own bowl for around $15.

Massive bowl filled with rice, tandoori chicken(up to 3 pcs) chicken pea curry, butter chicken, saag paneer, onion pakora, chicken masala and a bunch of other stuff. Not by weight but by bowl.

They also have items that are made fresh. I ordered the massive rave onion masala dosa 14 bucks and Malabar goat curry. A customer suggested lamb chops but not today. Supposed ly that tandoori lamb chops are juicy and yummy.

The dosa was a monster size but so delicately crispy Krinkly. Oniony and lots of Plato to. Made to dunk into a great sambar that comes with the dish.

Look I like goat I feel it has more real meaty flavor than beef. Definitely a more sustainable red meat. The coconut did not overpower the curry but helped blunt the harshness of the spices. The chef know what he is doing.

From the Montgomery Fix website....

POTOMAC, Md. — A Montgomery County Council candidate says his campaign has lost dozens of yard signs to theft and that police have identified a woman suspected of taking them.

Reardon Sullivan, a Republican candidate for the District 1 seat on the County Council, says his campaign has been losing as many as 40 signs a week. He installed motion-activated trail cameras and Apple AirTags to document the incidents and track signs that disappear.

Sullivan identified Eileen Hershberger as the woman he believes is responsible for the thefts, saying police had identified her after reviewing the evidence. Montgomery Fix reviewed surveillance footage provided by Sullivan and compared images of the woman with publicly available photographs of Hershberger. The visual comparison led the publication to conclude that the woman pictured appears to be Hershberger. Montgomery County police have not independently confirmed that identification to Montgomery Fix.

The Montgomery County Department of Police has assigned three report numbers to the incidents: 260043988, 260043989 and 260043990, according to an email Sullivan received from Cpl. Dominic Markajani of the department’s 2nd District on Oct. 7.

In an email to Markajani the following morning, Sullivan thanked the officer for taking the reports and said his campaign places signs in the public right-of-way in accordance with county guidelines.

Sullivan subsequently sent the officer additional video footage, writing on Oct. 9 that a woman appeared to have removed signs from three locations the previous night.

The candidate also reported that an AirTag attached to a missing sign led to Burton Glen Drive in Rockville. Public records show the residence is Hershberger’s home.

In his correspondence with Sullivan, Markajani asked whether the signs and cameras involved in the reported incidents had been located on public or private property. Sullivan replied that the area where a camera and signs were taken were public property and provided location coordinates.

Sullivan also published a video about the alleged thefts on YouTube and contacted fellow County Council candidate Julie Yang, inviting her to join him in publicly condemning campaign-sign theft. In that message, Sullivan said an investigation was underway and explicitly stated that he was not suggesting Yang’s campaign was involved.

“Although we are competing in this election, I believe we can agree that every candidate deserves to participate without having campaign signs stolen or damaged,” Sullivan wrote. He told Montgomery Fix he has not received a response from Yang.

Hershberger’s response to the allegation was not available for this report. Montgomery County police had not provided further details about the investigation by publication time.

The investigation remains ongoing, according to Sullivan’s correspondence. Additional suspects are being sought for the theft of other Sullivan campaign signs.

An allegation of theft is not a finding of guilt, and no criminal charge or conviction has been established in the records reviewed by Montgomery Fix.

This place has been around since 1970's.

Disclaimer: when ever I do these restaurants it's always undercover I don't film or do any of the influencer junk totally anonymous and no relationship witj the establishment.

Here I am eating a gyro for breakfast and it's solid. Menu is huge and lost of oldies on a rainy Saturday. Sitting across a truck driver of 25 plus years having a nice rando convo. Old style waitress with heart.

Hey the coffee is thin for those used to Starbucks but if free refills.

This place has a 6oz fresh burger w fries for 7.99.

Was tempted to have regular breakfast but wanted to test them and they passed. No hassle in fact mine is the 3rd gyro at 8am.

Guys it's not perfect but it's human and warm

Here's to another 20 years so that gen z or xy or whatever can experience what an old style diner. Parking suck but it's perfect if your getting word done at Mr. Tire. Address of diner is 120n Frederick road gaithersburg .

Online is kinda blowing about Burger King's new whopper and nuggets. I am just an unpaid Moco yokel doing the review. So this could be brutal.

Damn both were hot and juicy. Sauce for the burger was just right.

Good flavor and not salted to death.

Yeah maybe the King is back.

Unfortunately if I cannot get over 7.99! Maybe you should get it on whopper Wednesday.

A few more bucks you are in 5 guys territory with free peanuts and real fries available.

I need to check out Village Greens burger cause I believe that may be good and it is the same price and it has fries. I will keep checking for alternatives there's gotta be real burgers out there for 7.99. Miss u Fuddrucker!
