Howard Magazine (formerly called Columbia magazine) just published their best of article on dining in Howard County. While I won’t repeat all of the results, I did want to highlight a few that make me proud and happy!

  • Best Ambiance: The Kings Contrivance: This fine establishment that does wonderful holiday menus (e.g. Mother's Day and Thanksgiving) also won best Fine Dining and was in a three-way tie for Best Overall Restaurant
  • Best Indian: House of India: My favorite Indian place in the area also won honorable mention for Best Buffet. In my opinion, it's the best in that category too, check it out to find out for yourself!
  • Best Mexican: El Azteca: this family-owned delight off Route 108 is the place to go for a wonderful meal that will fill you up with delightful spicies. Get the Tacos al carbon or the Chicken Molé and you'll be smacking your lips all night. El Azteca also won best Margarita. If you drink these concocations, make sure to do it by the pitcher here!
  • Best Italian: Aida Bistro: A nice place to have an intimate encounter or a group celebration. Hang out with Mary and Joe for a wonderful meal.
