“First I would like to say that I wish there were more than 5 stars. My son and I are visiting the DC area for the Cherry Blossom festivities. My son has a love for Indian food ever since his trip to India. I have never tried Indian food ever. So this was my very first experience. From the moment we walked in the door our amazing experience began. The atmosphere is beautiful and so is the staff. Our server, April was super helpful and very knowledgeable. She has an amazing spirit and is wonderful with her job! The food... was very fresh, aromatic and DELICIOUS!! My son said the food was the closest to the food in India that he has had here in the states. For my first time... OMG!!! I am HOOKED! The only bad part is that I have to go back to Florida and wait impatiently for my next visit.“

The rice and fish are well seasoned and it's enough portions to have leftovers the next day. The service is pretty quick but when I've gone it's not crazy busy so I've been fortunate.

Unfortunately they gave me the wrong order (similar names) and I was pretty disappointed when I got home. I called to ask for a refund, but they bent over backwards to find me a driver and deliver my food. I appreciated this even more knowing I went through a third party delivery service, and they had every right to make me handle this through them. This also happened on NYE - definitely a busy day - but they made our whole night. Order was fresh and delicious as always. Their Tikka and naan are some of the best in DC!“

“I found this small Indian restaurant while visiting Howard University on a Saturday afternoon to referee rugby match. They have a very large menu with all of the Indian basics. Even though I was alone, the food smelled so good that I decided to order 3 entrees to go. I ordered the Salt and Pepper Special combination, which came with a generous pile of different meats, including some chewy sausage-like things, some spicy lamb, and some excellent tandoori chicken (the meat was accompanied by some chickpeas in a sauce and spinach with cheese cubes in it). I also ordered a lamb vindaloo and a dal makhani (lentils). Both were excellent, but they are not joking when they say that their vindaloo is spicy -- it made me cry on at least two of the occasions I ate some of it (still have leftovers sitting in the refrigerator for tonight). The rice and the naan were also excellent. Total bill was just over $60.“

The butter chicken is simply divine, with its creamy texture and perfectly cooked chicken pieces. It's like a taste of heaven in every bite, and it's always consistent, even when enjoying it from the comfort of my own home.Their veggie pakora is also a standout dish for takeout. Despite being packaged for travel, the pakoras retain their crispiness and flavorful goodness, making them a delightful appetizer to enjoy before diving into the main course. Sacrificial Lamb's attention to detail and dedication to delivering delicious food make them my top choice for Indian takeout in the area. If you're craving authentic Indian or Pakistani flavors for takeout, look no further than Sacrificial Lamb!“

“Jyoti Indian Cuisine is by far one of the best traditional Indian cuisine restaurant in the DC area. As soon you walk in you are greeted with a vibrant atmosphere from the Indian/ modern music playing from the flat screen TV & surrounding speakers, to the painted murals + intricate trinkets hanging on the brick wall, & and warm hospitality from the employees.Our server Madeen was amicable & super helpful in explaining the items on the menu. We started off with the vegetable platter appetizer and included a trio of sauces; tamarind, mango chutney, green chutney. My personal favorite was the mango chutney, with a sweet, pungent spicy kick to it however all of them are rich in flavor. The drinks were great as well, would recommend getting the Alabama Slammer & Mai Tai.As our main course we ordered one of the most popular dishes recommended, the Tandoor Red Snapper along with the Lamb Seekh Kabob and Chicken Biriyani & choose mild as our preferred spice. We also had a side order of a yogurt sauce called Cucumber Raita & Garlic Naan. Not only was the presentation spotless, I kid you not every bite of those dishes did not disappoint. From the creaminess of the sauce served in the lamb, fish was grilled to perfection, & chicken biriyani was also tasty because the rice was blended with these aromatic spices that I am still trying to figure out! Flavors so complex yet it enriches your palette. The Garlic Naan came out fresh and hot, & just paired so well with the refreshing Cucumber Raita.I had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Shiva & I love how hands on he is within the restaurant & his employees. It truly was a lovely experience & definitely would come back to try out their vegetarian options!Vegetarian options: Dishes consisting of potatoes, lentils, basmati rice, samosas.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Vegetarian options“

“This is one of my go to places for Indian food via DoorDash. I have never been to their restaurant, but enjoy ordering from my app as I have free delivery. Seems like combo is the way to go here. I ordered butter chicken combo which comes with two vegetarian sides. They have many options for sides. I prefer potato peas and chickpeas. Two of my favorite comfort vegetarian Indian food. Portion was good. Lots of rice. I really wish they included 1 naan with the order. I had to pay extra for the naan. They would have got 5 stars if the combo came with a naan. So much curry they offer in the combo, but the portion of the rice is not a lot. So to use the curry, we have to order the naan. Don't know much about the service or the ambiance as stated earlier.“
