Orchard Market & Cae - Towson, MD Review

During dreadful trip to towson accidentally came across the orchard market and cafe, which almost made the rest of trip worth it. It turned up on gmap as indian, but its actually a persian restaurant, which is much more delicate and light flavours.

Its a modern space, with pieces of persian art and textiles to add to the atmosphere. The staff were fantastic, never seemed bored explaining specials and rest of menus when required, and had eyes in the back of their heads the speed with which they spotted empty glasses or confused looks. Everything on the menu, and othersplates, looked fantastic, subtle spices, lots of fruit and the meat was sensational in taste and texture. Try to squeeze in a desert, or share one, as they are so light yet such intense flavors. 

Its byob, with patrons ranging from a couple with 8 year old, another with 2 students, to some business men, and quite a few romantic couples or foursomes, with many people seeming to have been there before, adding to the relaxed yet polite atmosphere. I recommend you phone and book as we were very very lucky to go just before the rush. There is a nice little waiting area but the smells will drive you mad :)

Don't be put off by the dark little alley way you turn off the main road onto, the restaurant is brightly lit and the parking is actually very secure.

In case you haven't noticed, I loved this place!!!
