From the moment we arrived, the service was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was relaxing, and the food--absolutely outstanding. I drove 1.5 hours for my birthday lunch after a day at the spa, and it was well worth the trip. The standout dishes were the lamb chops, garlic naan, and the crispy spinach and spicy shrimp--all 10/10. I also took home the Chicken 65 and Tiger Prawn Shrimp ( a must have ) both of which were just as delicious. Be mindful that they close at 2:30 pm for preparation before dinner service, so plan accordingly. I left with enough food to last two days, and with plenty of parking in the shopping plaza, this spot is a must-try for any food lover in the area or just wanting to venture out . Highly recommend!

The food was outstanding and tastes exactly like their original restaurants in India. We got Kali Mirch Paneer, Cream Chicken, Fish in Butter gravy, and Chicken Kathi roll with Cheese Naan and Tandoori rotis . All of them were delicious especially the fish. The service was quick and we didnt have to wait too long since our kids were starving. Cant wait to go back there again. Highly recommended.

We ordered the chicken seek kebabs, the Aloo Gobi, and the Punjabi chicken curry along with some naan's and roti's. The Gobi dish was cooked properly, but was very sour - way more sour than it should be and the chicken curry was not very good and bland. The chicken kebabs were decent but very oily. Also to add insult to injury, there was only one waitress across the 10 or 12 tables that they have in there and on a Friday evening all the tables were full and the poor waitress was struggling to get the orders in and also bring the bill to the ones that had finished eating. Maybe this is an OK place to go during weekdays but definitely not on a weekend or on a Friday evening.

The actual curries were small portions, but being that we had the sides, it was sufficient. I would love to return for the buffet one day when I am back in the area.

They do a weekend buffet and ensure that they have fresh, new, creative appetizers and dishes every time. 2) Something for everyone - northern dishes, southern dishes; a great selection for the first timers and spice or curry phobes. 3) Okra, spinach and red kidney beans ( 3 separate dishes today) prepared like I/all of us have never tasted before. 4) Amazing, pro active and very polite staff. The owner is so hands on and ensures all is well. 5) Ample room for big groups and parties. Last time I was here with a group of 10 was on Saturday 8/19/23 ( old Yelp photo) and everyone enjoyed themselves. 6) Great and relaxed atmosphere. The decor is just gorgeous with items and fixtures imported from 7700 miles east of Virginia. 7) 2 old school and just gorgeous desserts today - the rice pudding loaded with raisins and cashews plus the mini donut balls in syrup. 8) My mother came to visit me in 2022 and loved this restaurant ( old Yelp photo) and the service. In fact we were here twice during her birthday week celebrating in August wow 18 months ago. 9) Clean and spotless. The staff is on the ball. 10) A refreshing change from the 15 Indian restaurants in Herndon 10 miles away, all with food that tastes the same.

I like the strong citrus note of the green tea, it was very soothing. The pork momo were juicy and they make the skin in house as well as the chili sauce (if you like spicy, ask for it). The lamb achari jhol comes with rice, but I recommend you also add an order or two of naan.

Inside, there's lots of seating options, good for families and groups. There's also private booths and a themed jail seating option, requiring 18% gratuity added to your check. Also, if you sign up for their rewards, you get $10 off your first purchase. They also have a made to order chaat on certain days. We ordered takeout, but the service was great! We got our food quickly and pickup/payment online was easy. Generally, the food looked pretty fresh since you could see it out in the heated trays in the restaurant. The mirchi bajji mixture was unique and flavorful, but the medium was just a little bit too spicy to enjoy. The veg chili momos, gobi manchurian and onion samosas were crispy and seasoned well. Also, they were a good price for the portion. The street style veg noodles were a bit salty and tasted like the burnt part of a wok. However, overall, the food was tasty. I'd recommend coming here or ordering takeout if you're looking for good south Indian appetizers and mains!

Our server, Nani, was wonderful and helped us pick a few favorites, including the chicken butter momos. The mixed grill platter was excellent, especially the tandoori chicken, which was incredibly juicy. We also loved the mushroom pepper fry, street-style chicken fried rice, paneer lababdar, falooda, and the desserts. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. A couple of dishes were definitely spicy (the Special Chicken Curry lived up to its name ), but that's on us for overlooking the menu description. The restaurant is spacious, the menu has an incredible variety, and it's the perfect place if you want to branch out beyond the usual Indian dishes. The only thing we missed out on was the chaat because they were sold out, so we'll definitely be back for that. Great experience overall!

My favorite dish was the the sukuti sadheko appetizer -- the goat was almost jerky like, chewy (in the best way) but still tender; and spicy. It was served with these rice crispies that looked plain, but had so much flavor on their own. It was a fun & delicious play on texture, flavor and spice. The braised yak was tender and warm with the spices and rice, yum. Loved all the options for goat, lamb, yak, etc. There were also plenty of options for vegetarians as well.

The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.
