“Location is on the outside, not sure if you’re able to get in from inside the mall. But it’s very good portion sizes. I got a rice bowl with chicken and vindaloo sauce - was spicy and good. It also comes with toppings which I thought was a good add to balance some of the flavors. We also got chili chicken and thought it was good, not too saucy but a bit tangy and spicy.My wife and her mom liked the masala dosa and chicken vindaloo dosa. They also got mango lassi and chai and said both were good. Service was good, around 10 min to get our food. Ambiance is meh.“
“Delhi Spice is one of the best Indian restaurants in the DC area. Definitely try their tandoori wings, some of the most tender flavorful wings I’ve ever tried. The owner and manager Sudhir is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Highly recommend stopping by!“
“Craving a delicious and authentic Indian dining experience? Look no further than The Bombay Club in Washington DC. Stepping into the restaurant is like entering a world of sophisticated elegance. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a touch of old-world charm. Live piano music fills the air, adding a touch of romance and enhancing the overall ambiance.But the true star of the show is the food. They boasts a menu that delivers a delightful journey through the diverse flavors of India. From perfectly spiced curries to melt-in-your-mouth tandoori meats, every dish is bursting with authenticity. The menu caters to a variety of palates, offering both familiar favorites and more adventurous options.“
“We wanted to visit this place from a long time after hearing about it from friends but since we live 45 minutes away, we never got a chance. Luckily, today we were in the area and finally got to try their pizza. I have had fusion pizzas at a few other places in the past but this was the best so far! Thin crust, well done, and perfect taste! We had a large Kadhai Paneer and a medium chicken tikka between our family of three which was more than enough. We have some left overs for lunch now! The owner Manoj was really nice and gave us recommendations for choosing pizza, (out of the so many options they have) since it was our 1st time. The kind of customer service he provides is rare to find these days. Would love to eat this pizza more often if we lived close by.“
“The service was impeccable. The staff were all extremely friendly, kind, and professional. The food came out in a very timely manner and every interaction with the staff displayed the restaurant’s deep interest in ensuring the best experience for all of its customers. We will be coming back again for the amazing dining experience.“
“We came here with a large group of students on a school trip during the first week of March to enjoy a different dining experience. We had some picky eaters, but the students LOVED the food, it was some of the most flavorful Indian cuisine I've ever had. The service was very friendly, accommodating, and kind to our students. Highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed!Dietary restrictions: Food was prepared, and one student tried his food and it was too spicy, so they brought him something else.Kid-friendliness: We had a group of nine students, two staff, and the service was very friendly!“
“Good quality, modern take on Indian food. The palak chat is an absolute must try. The paneer tikka was flavorful. The sweet potato samosa were nice but could be better. They came with the tamarind dip but a spicier dip would be better to cut the sweetness from the sweet potato. We also got the biryani which was good and the cheese kulcha tasted yum too. I went there for my birthday so they even gave us a free dessert. Overall, very attentive staff and the place has a good ambience along with good food. Make sure you make a reservation especially over the weekends as they might be booked out.Vegetarian options: lots of veggie options to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian friendly. Customizations for some dishes can be made if requested.Parking: We found street parking which was paid, but in case you don't find that, there are some more expensive public parking in the area where you can park your car.“
“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!“
“My family and I ate here twice, this past week, while on vacation. Our server, Jasmine was incredibly nice and attentive on both occasions. On top of that, almost everything we ordered was very delicious! The restaurant also has a kid’s menu (e.g. Mac & Cheese, chicken nuggets, etc.) that comes in very handy if your kids aren’t partial to Indian food yet :)“

“Was taken there for my birthday. My cocktail was superb and some of the best samosas I've had. They weren't too oily and mostly flaky and crispy. For Dinner, thw wife had Chicken Tikka Masala which tasted amazing and the chicken was very tender. It tasted "simple" and I do mean that in the nicest way considering I've had this dish at other restaurants and the flavors and spices are too overpowing. I had the Miz tandoori platter with a delicious lamb and chicken tikka. As good as they were, the star of the dish is the salmon. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Many restaurants don't get salmon right and it's usually overcooked and to my delight that was not the case here. Accompanied by the basket of naan that includes regular, onion, and garlic flavors and rice were a great combination. Raj and his staff deliver high quality of service and friendliness to the customer to go along with the delectable cuisine. Bravo Raj, bravo. I Can't wait to go back“
“This was BY FAR the best dosas and Idli we have had in years! Chef Paul is amazing and he told me he doesn’t believe in catering or delivery because South Indian food is best served hot and fresh and I couldn’t agree more! The Idlis melted in my mouth. The dosas were just perfect - the masala and chutney and sambhar -10/10! Go - no run to this place!“
“I come here all the time but I’ve never posted a review. The staff is very friendly, and the service is phenomenal. I feel comfortable here and the facility is clean and modern. Good selection of beer, and the best Indian food in northern Virginia. Don’t skip out on it just because it’s a gas station. You’d be missing out on a real local gem.“
“This place is an awesome place. But I noticed one thing about one of the Indian customer that they are being so rude about the service. Customer service was awesome. But the lady was rude. It’s my personal opinion about not being so rude with them. You don’t know how people eating in Gaza. Allah can take you same position within a short time period that you can’t imagine. Please be honest about your reviews.“
“We went for a date here after my husband was looking for something close to Chantilly but different. Oh wow! The food was so fresh and hot and phenomenal! We love Indian food so tried the butter chicken tacos and masala burrito. The chips and salsa kept coming as quickly as we asked. I can not wait to return!“
“We picked up food here and boy did it delight! Flavorful, large portions and well packed to bring home and eat hot. The vegetarian options (samosas and vegetables in Indian gravy) did not disappoint. Butter chicken was melt in your mouth tender and juicy.“
“Had a fun evening with friends yesterday. The owners are on top of the quality, have passion and caters to each individual customer needs. Drinks are very unique from mirchi drink, paan drink, saffron drink to kala khatta drink ( a big hit for our group). Appetizer, panner pakora, soya chaap, palak chaat, and hariyali kabobs( non-veg fav). All were fresh and good. I’ll ask to spice it a notch for us next time;) Main course , paneer makhani (all kids fav), daal makhani (fresh and hot), Palak corn, all good. Missi roti was the best!!! Malai kulfi was awesome. Gulab jamuns melted in mouth. Presentation is excellent. Small restaurant but good to treat yourself and ur friends.“
“Ok ok, so I've been in the US for 5 years since leaving the UK this is without doubt the best Indian restaurant I've had since leaving.I didn't even get pictures lolThe key to any good Indian is not being asked a spice level, the dish itself should dictate the spice level“
“Enjoyed RASA opening day in Crystal City, Arlington, National Landing location. Many dining options with classic bowls and DIY selections. Food is superb and inexpensive, staff is fast, efficient and friendly. Start off with cocktails, blended with masala, cardamom, tamarind. Try the masala chai soft serve. Look forward to return visits, best wishes for continued success.“
“I get takeout from Diya every couple months. It's a lot closer to me than Rasika and stays open pretty late. It's a great dinner option at 8:30 PM. Most of the time the food is great, but every once in a while the food won't taste as flavorful. I'm not sure if they have different chefs or if it was a fluke. Everything I've had has been good: tikka masala, biryanis, butter chicken, nann, samoas, and salmon curry. I really love the salmon curry and samosas! The restaurant is in a weird location, but the staff is really nice and quick. Overall, 4.5/5. Great food for the price.“
“The Tandoori Chicken at Mumbai Darbar is a true culinary gem! The chicken is juicy and flavorful, with just the right amount of char from the tandoor. It's served with fresh mint chutney and onions, adding a refreshing contrast to the bold flavors. Definitely one of the best I've ever tasted!“
“We just ordered Rajaji via DoorDash. We went for things we hadn't tried before anywhere: Gosht Biryani (lamp and rice), Palak Paneer, Murgh Tikka (chicken grilled), and Garlic Naan (well, we had tried this before). Everything was fantastic: the biryani was flavorful but not too hot, palak paneer smooth and savory, perfect garlic naan, and the murgh tikka delicious. Honestly, we had to force ourselves to NOT eat the whole order (which was probably 25% more food than we needed). Can't wait to order here again.“
“Easily one of the top Indian restaurants in the DMV region. Easy to find the place. There’s paid street parking, a free parking lot behind the restaurant. They do accommodate walk-ins but the wait times can sometimes be more than expected. Seating is limited and it gets busy during dinner time. Bar seating available.Ambiance is okay, atmosphere is slightly noisy and music is acceptable. But you can easily have conversations in the loudest setting. Staff and service is good. Really efficient and knowledgeable.Everything on the menu is worth a shot. My favorites are - Chicken chili, Paneer chili, Schezwan chicken, Chole Bhature, Hakka noodles, chicken biryani, rajasthani Laal maas, Kashmiri goat curry.There are regular desert options, nothing that will wow you but is of really good quality.Not a fan of their butter chicken and Naan. Chat items have room for improvement.You can place order online through gruhub, Uber eats, DoorDash, etc. There isn’t a price difference between ordering on these apps and their restaurant menu which makes me believe they have marked up the cost to accommodate additional platform surcharges. Other places will have discounted restaurant rates.Good place for family and friends get-together. Will definitely recommend and return for more.“
“I ordered delivery and we were pleasantly surprised at the large portions. I ordered pakoras, a curry and the aloo gobi. My husband and I could only eat half of it, so we will have another meal out of it. The pakoras were really hot even though I ordered mild, and vice versa for the chicken curry, but it was so good, I'm still giving them five stars.“
“They do a great job of reflecting India's regional cuisines in authentic flavors. The service is excellent, and the desserts are delicious.For mains, loved the Coorgi Murg, the Chicken Malai, and the Fish Vendiam. For dessert, loved the Mango Shreekhand and the Kesari Rasmalai. Looking forward to trying the new mains and desserts on the menu!“
“Went here for the first time and was pretty impressed. The tandoori chicken and biryani were both some of the best I've ever tasted! The environment was nice and the design was fitting of the quality of food, though the lack of windows felt a bit claustrophobic. Everyone there was very nice and helpful! The only real negative was that it took nearly an hour for the food to arrive. They weren't especially busy, but it was pretty early (around 4:30) so that could be why. Still, I wish they would have at least brought out bread as we waited, since my whole party was very hungry. Don't take that as a reason not to come here, though. The food was well worth the wait! The bread assortment was fresh, well portioned and tasted amazing. The mango lassi was probably the best I've had... definitely the best in the area. I'll definitely be returning and if you're craving authentic Indian food, you should try Saffron!“
“I discovered BC by the recommendation of my late spouse. This place has been my go to for quick Indian restaurant. Generous portions, the dishes are very tasty, the staff are very hospitable and friendly. You can't beat the price. Highly highly “
“In this unassuming spot lies your next tasty meal. We shared a combo #8 with a chicken and a seekh (ground beef) kabob with rice, small salad of lettuce/cucumbers/onions, chana (chickpeas) and roti (bread). Had a fresh mango lassi to go with it and ate it too fast to take a picture. It was plenty of food for us to share and enjoy. Don’t expect much of the decor - it’s the food and the kind people that make this place great.“
“Whilst I was on a trip to the area I stumbled upon Masala Express. In search for gluten free and vegan friendly options I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Aloo Gobi which comes with a large side of rice. This was truly the best Indian food I have ever had. The service was phenomenal. The waiters as well as the owners were very kind and appreciative of the tip I left at the end of my meal. Masala Express is a fairly small restaurant with only two tables, so if you have a large party I recommend taking out your order. Overall, Masala Express is an amazing place to spend your evening when visiting Arlington, VA.“
“Great food, we ordered 2 starters and 2 entrée and they all were very flavourful. Chicken tikka pizza was good and so was the veg biryani. Biryani items were not present in menus or I wasn’t able to see them but the server helped us with it. We asked for extra hot and they made it well, try extra hot only it you can withstand it else go for mild or medium. And yes, all entrées is served along with white rice.They have few types of Indian beers priced reasonably at $6-$7 range.Overall, the place though is small it has good food and priced well.Vegetarian options: Veg Korma, Paneer tikka masala, lentil soup, veg pakora, veg biryani.“
“Awesome food and great service. It took a while for us to get the food but the chef did an amazing job. Very fresh chili garlic naan and the lamb vindaloo was sweet and savory without being too spicy. The chef even personally packed our leftovers for us in those takeout boxes.On the menu, they have many vegetarian and vegan options too.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options on the menuParking: Free parking lot and there's parking enforcement (toll truck would come around and ask for people's cars)“
“In a quaint town, a hidden gem does rest,An authentic Nepalese culinary quest.Terrific flavors, a feast so divine,With prices so low, it feels like a find.Quality so high, yet the cost stays slight,Service prompt and friendly, every bite a delight.Always accommodating, a staff so keen,Guiding new palates to tastes unseen.If Nepalese cuisine is what you seek,This place offers a peak.A journey of flavors, a guide so true,A dining experience that feels brand new.“
“One of the tastiest Indian restaurants in the area!!! The owner Bokech (I really hope I spelled his name right if not I am so sorry!) is so kind and really cares about his customers and giving them great food! Every dish I’ve tried here is fantastic and I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a good late night bite :)“
“Went here for my Valentine's because my boyfriend knew that this was a spot on my list, food and service is amazing. The atmosphere is perfect for a night of romance. My fish was cooked perfectly and the drinks were made well. Would definitely come here again!“
“I had to knock off a star. The fare is quite amazing, I’ve always had great meals here. But . . . . . I have to take off a star. They added large TV sets since I was here before and the dining atmosphere is ruined by soccer games and what I guess is Indian rap music blaring on another. Totally awful distractions from trying to intimately enjoy their incredible food. Also, a mysterious “service charge” appeared on the very bottom of our bill. If it was noted on the menu I never saw it. The server’s explanation of this extra 15% charge was unintelligible. When the credit slip arrived, it was asking for yet another tip. I’m not a cheapskate. I worked in restaurants for many years and know how difficult it can be. Asking for a tip on top what already has a service charge is a bit arrogant. So, pretty awesome food. I would go back with earplugs and a sharper eye on the bill.“
“The menu at Bollywood Bistro is a testament to the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine, offering a wide array of dishes from various regions of the country. Whether you're a fan of fiery curries, aromatic biryanis, or delicate tandoori specialties, there's something to tantalize every palate.“
“The best and the most authentic Indian restaurant in the DMV area.I don’t think there’s just one single dish I can recommend - the food their chef cooks is excellence, every item on the menu is amazing and executed to perfection. Food is primarily about taste and ingredients and these people seem to have nailed it for sure!Also the staff is very kind and friendly.“
“On those days that I really don't want to make my own meal and I really don't want to spend a couple of Benjamins at Rasika, this is my go-to Indian carryout. I could live off chickpeas and lentils from here. I'd give it another star if parking weren't so challenging. The grocery store really highlights the fact that I need to up my cooking game.“
“Ordered the spicy chili chicken bowl which was bright, fresh, and full of amazing flavors, also ordered the garlic naan which was fresh The extreme overall great tasting. Staff was friendly restaurant was clean. Don’t think you could ask for too much more.“
“Great portion size, flavorful, and prompt service... what more can one ask for?! We came on a rainy Saturday afternoon and was immediately seated. We had the veggie samosas, which was wayyy bigger than we imagined. These were fried perfectly, with a great amount of moistness right in the middle. We then opted to order the garlic basil naan which was absolutely scrumptious. I could definitely eat an order of this all by my lonesome and still crave more! I then had the chicken tikka masala, which gave me about three normal size servings (in my opinion) and was very appetizing.“
