Fantastic place for dinner! The servers were all nice and it wasn't particularly crowded on a Saturday night. The portions were generous and we walked away with leftover. We got three dishes for three people to share and had leftovers for everyone. The Samosas as an appetizer were very good and classic. For our mains we got a Lamb, chicken, and eggplant dishes that were all great. The waiters helped us navigate a dairy allergy and which dishes we would like. Bajra is a good going out to a nice sit down dinner experience for small groups or large!

Came here because we loveee Carytown Indian Cuisine, Bajra's sister restaurant, so we had high hopes for Bajra (especially since we are Indian ourselves). Bajra is a bit more affordable than CIC, and has many more "typical" Indian restaurant options, though all North Indian dishes. Service was solid. The food was actually really good! The spinach chaat and gobi manchurian made for some tasty apps, and we ordered a malai kofta, a palak paneer, and some naans and rice, all of which were delicious. Bajra has become one of our go-to Indian restaurants in the Richmond area, and we definitely recommend it (especially for families!). The toffee cake dessert was also deeeeelicious even for Desi parents who don't like too much sweet.

Came for dinner on a Friday night and the place was empty! I'm shocked. Everything was delicious and the service was fast and attentive. The decor was cute and all around great vibes

Great food. The spice level is real so make sure you choose low if you aren't really into spicy. Everything we had was very flavorful. I'd recommend getting things to share rather than one dish per person.

Incremental updates like refreshing the flatware, tweaking small things in the decor, and continuing to deliver the outstanding service we have come to expect go a long way. I tried the Mango Chicken this visit, and it was wonderful at spice level 3 for me. I like a kick, and the sweet flavor was paired exquisitely. We always leave with leftovers because we want to indulge ourselves again the next day; it never disappoints. I have heard people say they don't like Indian food, which I don't understand. I have extreme difficulty finding a lovelier culinary experience than Jannat, which is wild because RVA provides some of the most enticing restaurant choices I've ever had access to.

Jannat Indian Cuisine is a popular Indian restaurant in RVA that offers outstanding service,…read moreconsistently great food, and a comfortable dining experience. Guests can choose their preferred protein, sauce, and spice level, as well as enjoy a selection of beer, wine, and Indian Sula wines. We visited during lunchtime and partook of their lunch specials, featuring generous portions and a decent variety. I enjoyed Goat Vindaloo while wife was milder with Seafood Korma. I asked for spicy and received their level 5 (1-5). It was good, flavors and seasoning were excellent, but for truly spicy you need to ask for "True Indian Level" they are used to a bunch of Americans with tender palates! The staff is friendly and helpful with recommendations, and although the place was busy, we never felt rushed. The restaurant's clean and inviting environment adds to the positive experience. We saw a few dishes that others had ordered from the regular menu, and they looked ample and generous. So, although it seems a little pricey, it is not a bad value.

Menu board that says Habibi Grill but when we asked the owner, he said that they still serve the Afghan cuisine. They have a separate menu for this. The area on the right is the dining area. It was quiet when we had dinner there. Got the lamb shank qabuli which was very tender and served with Qabuli rice and side salad. Lamb kabob was also bursting with flavor but we thought the serving size was small. The falafel plate was very good. Everything was so flavorful and we really enjoyed the food. The owner was very nice. Since we shared the food, we would have appreciated if we were also given an extra plate; nevertheless, we were starving so it was alright. Would definitely come back!

Although it looks unassuming from outside, it's bright and spacious inside with the lovely aromas greeting you at the door. Ambience: I got seated and placed the order right away. While my order was getting ready in front of me, I had a chance to go around andexplore around. It was a super spacious restaurant with two levels of seating areas. Very bright and surprisingly guarded from the noisy traffic, it was a great spot for a quiet lunch. Food & service: My order of Kebab & fries served with Naan, Tzatziki sauce and Afghani salad was made to order and tasted very juicy and flavorful. Spiced perfectly and the right portion size for 1 person, every bite of the freshly made naan and kabob was perfection. My server was so courteous and attentive and he prepared my food in less than 20 minutes.

Wanted to preface the review is only about the dinner buffet. Entering, we encounter the dirty…read morefloors, dirty tables (had to avoid 2-3), dirty drink machine, and dirty counter. We ordered the buffet then noticed most of the fountain drinks had no syrup or just pure syrup. So filling up a few of the micro 3oz cups with the one fountain drink that was working, we head to the buffet. The curry chicken was nothing but bones and sauce, same with the goat curry. Nan bread was gone and rice available was minimal. Vegetables seemed to been cooking since lunch and were either goo or dried up. Never again for us.

Best Biryani in the RVA (maybe in the Outer DMV)…read more This past weekend, we drove to this place all the way from Bethesda, Maryland. That a fair distance for take-out, to say the least. My esteemed husband lived in the RVA about 7-10 years ago, he and his family swear by their biryani. My husband is a born and raised native of Mumbai, India who attended Cooking and Hotel Management School. Needless to say, he loves to cook and is picky about his food. He makes a fabulous biryani himself, which he is always trying to perfect. He absolutely adores and loves the food at Kabab House. The flavor is incredible, it is rich in delicious seasonings. The price is totally worth the value and the best part of all, the portions are huge. I'd say this place is a hidden gem of the RVA, if you love tasty Indian Food this is the place for you.
