My family has been enjoying this restaurant for years. Everyone I've brought here from out of town -- California, NY, Georgia, Texas, PA - loves it. The management is friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious. The veggie dishes are superb so if you are vegetarian or vegan, you cannot go wrong. During covid they place your to go order on a table by the side door for no contact pick up. Love this place!!

This is under new ownership, no longer Delhi Club, now Spice Craft Indian Bistro. Not as good as it used to be. The butter chicken was too salty, the paratha was very flat, the dal too watery. The prices have gone up, and the take out containers are smaller than before.

I ordered a mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, and my girlfriend had the paneer makhani. The mango lassi tasted like watered down yogurt with a very light mango flavor. There was something a bit off about the taste. The chicken tikka had onions and red and green peppers in it which I've never really had in chicken tikka before, and the taste of the sauce was very strange. It was reminiscent of the jalapeno nacho cheese that I used to get on chips at the food area of the water park I went to as a child. Not a flavor I've ever experienced at an indian restaurant before. My girlfriend found the paneer makhani to be really good, but also found the mango lassi to taste really off. Based on the quality of the food the high price was pretty unjustified. The total without delivery fee/tip/tax was $33.65. I wouldn't order from here regardless of the price because the food just wasn't good. I'm still trying to find a place in the DC area that compares to a place called Naanstop in Durham, NC.

We were looking to satisfy our Indian food craving with a spot in the Clarendon area and Delhi Club was SUCH a good choice. Though they are currently not doing dine-in, it is very easy to order food directly on their website, and I conveniently got text message updates. Easy to pick up with a contactless table. I ordered their butter chicken and garlic naan and the flavors were PERFECT. So creamy and delicious. My partner got the Lamb Rohan Josh which I also really enjoyed. I highly recommend ordering food from here!

Our whole family loves this spot. Chicken vindaloo, saag gosht, and lamb rogan josh are our favorites. It is our go to Indian restaurant and has been for years. We got takeout last night from them and they are selling their beer and wine at steep discounts. I know they were closed for some time during Covid and hope they don't go out of business. If you like their food and haven't been in some time please visit them and support them!

My wife and I moved to Clarendon in May 2017, and this became our staple Sunday night take out since the first week of living here. We hadnt been back during Covid, but got pickup last night for first time and we are mad we ate at other local restaurants before eating here. BY FAR THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN ARLINGTON. From the lamb vindaloo, to the butter chicken, everything was cooked perfectly and tasted better than we have ever had it. The ordering system online is extremely easy, as is the pickup. Eat here ASAP if you havent. So good.

This restaurants website is too difficult to navigate when ordering from it so we gave up and ordered from one of their competitors. If you expect to stay in business, make your website more user friendly to order from. We shouldn't have to pick a bizzare 30 minute time window to pickup our food let alone be unable to pick a delivery date. We tried to order food today and the only pickup date was for tomorrow.

Ordered online tonight. Very easy system of online order and pickup. The restaurant has delivery options as well through third party. Food was ready when they said it would be. Very easy pickup system - at a table at the side door. Name is written large and clear on the bag. Somosa (vegetable version) were as expected. Also ordered the Chicken tikka masala and aloo gobhi I (cauliflower and potato dish), an order of garlic naan and couple Taj Mahal beers. The spice level wasn't exactly what I was looking for but the food was still tasty. Favorite thing of the meal: the aloo gobhi. I haven't had this before and would def order again. I appreciated the straight forward processing. Thank you to those working at Delhi Club! Take care and be well!

Go to Indian takeout place. Never been for buffet at lunch but for dinner it's a level above the other Indian places, if a few dollars more expensive.

Delicious and well priced Indian food, especially the vegetarian dishes
Bland garlic nan rice was also super dry. Was not impressed with lamb vindaloo. Over priced too and im sure its based on location.

I have been coming for years and have never been disappointed. I have probably tried everything on the menu, but have my favorites: paneer makhni, making, okra dish, saag paneer, the lentils. But as good as there good is, the staff is always courteous and welcoming. A great Clarendon classic!

I've been coming to Delhi Club for years, and I can tell you without any doubts in my mind that this is the best North Indian cuisine I've tasted in North America. Short of London, where most of these dishes were created by the South Asian community there years ago, you aren't going to find better versions of these dishes.

Came for the lunch buffet on a Sunday. The restaurant is small with seating for about 30 and seats quickly filled up with mostly non-Indians. As an Indian I thought this deserves a repeat visit and a recommendation on Yelp as a solid place for a lunch buffet. The lunch buffet selection was not huge but it was adequate enough for me to get a sense of their range and culinary palette. The chicken tikka masala, chickpeas curry, and other veggies I piled onto my plate tasted fresh, hot, and flavorful, and the spice level was on the milder side. I also ordered a mango lassi, which costs extra. The overall value was reasonable for the location. I would come back.
