Review of Hot Breads - Indian Fast Food and Bakery Restaurant in Gaithersburg, Maryland

Harishrai Mehta
There are many restaurants here in the USA that serves various types of food like Mexican, Italian, Thai, and continental. However, there is an acute shortage of the restaurant that serves real spicy Indian food delicacies. We had a chance to visit one such Indian restaurant/bakery that serves authentic Indian fast food items with their own baked breads. The restaurant is Hot Breads, situated at 70 Market Street, Gaithersburg, MD-20878, having phone number as 301-977-1919. The restaurant is owned by the Indian family and that is the reason why they are able to serve the tastiest and spicy Indian food varieties. You will be able to feel the most ideal fusion of Indo-Western flavors with French style bakery breads in all the food varieties.

Though the restaurant is very small, having the capacity of only around 20 people to sit, most of the customers prefers the food items on to go basis so that they can leisurely enjoy the food items in their homes. You can start your lunch with hot breads Signature Panini, which are served with pickle and the bag of chips. The Paninis are available in many varieties like Chutney Panini, Tandoori Tikka Panini, Club Sandwich Panini, Thai Peanut Wrap, and Turkey Caesar Wrap. The prices for these signature Paninis are around $6 per plate. The hot breads Veggie specials in Indian style are available like Vada Pav, Bombay Sandwich, Veggie Burger, and Pav Bhaji. All these Indian delicacies are offered in the price range of $4 to $5.

We ordered Veggie Burger and the Vada Pav with the restaurant's most famous masala Chai. The food was excellent, tasty, and served in large proportions. Some of our family members opted for Chicken Tikka, which were also found tasty and spicy resembling to Indian taste. If you want to remain light on food, you may order any of croissants and puff varieties. The croissants are available in varieties like Paneer, Chicken, Lamb, Plain, Chocolate, Almond, Ham and Cheese, and Jalapeno and Cheese. The price range is $2.5 to $3.0 for such croissants. Six varieties of Puffs are also available in varieties of Paneer, Mixed Veggie, Chicken, Lamb, and fruit, each costing around $2. The bagel in plain variety is also available, which is served with cream Cheese or butter at a price of $1.5.

Then, there are around 12 varieties of breads available in case, you want to carry it to your home in the varieties of White loaf, Whole Wheat Loaf, Dinner rolls, Multigrain, Sourdough, Challah, Masala, Italian, and Focaccia in the price range of $1.5 to $3.0. The sweet and tasty restaurant made cookies available in varieties like Chocolate, Masala, Nankatai, Jeera, Almond, and Khari can also be purchased for your home. These cookies are priced at $7 per LB. The end of your meal can be the cakes available by the slice in varieties like Mango Mouse, Pineapple, Coffee Mouse, Chocolate Truffle, Strawberry, Cream roll, Black Forest, Mixed fruit, Cheesecake, Praline, Tiramisu, Carrot Cake, and Diplomat. Each slice of the cake cost around $2 to $3. The party cakes are also available in various sizes and designs. The writing on each cake is free. Special wedding cakes can also be designed here. The organic milk and the Soya milk are also available here. The coffee in six varieties and the tea in three varieties can add to your pleasure.

The restaurant/store operates from 8 am to 9 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 9 pm during weekends. The only negative factor of the establishment is its very limited sitting capacity. The restaurant remains always full during lunchtime due to this aspect. However, it offers great variety of food items that can be liked both by Americans and Indians equally. I would request you all to try this restaurant if you are fond of spicy Indian fast food items.

    Hot "STALE" Breads and 'Stinking' customer service is what you should describe this place as. I picked up a pineapple bday cake and to our horror the cake was stale! It's such a disgusting feeling to start one's bday with a stale cake. When I took the cake back, the utter rude, ruthless lady ( I think her name is Kiran) just took the cake inside, to avoid other customer's knowing about it and didn't even bother apologizing, instead said " I'm not responsible for this, don't talk to me". Then I spoke to other guy (I think Gopi, an utter Moron) who kept on repeating "get the cake to the store", when I was repeatedly telling him the cake was already at his store. He was absolutely a jerk and never ever bothered to listen or apologize, instead said "do what ever you want or complain wherever you want". The lady also had the cheek to say: "I don't want to spoil my new year because of this!"
