Went to Choolaah with a friend, and I must say, it did not disappoint. The service was great from…read morethe moment we walked in. The cashier was friendly and offered to help even though we chose to order at the kiosk. He even grabbed our drinks right away and gave me a sample of the ginger lemonade (which didn't have much ginger), so I ended up going with the mango lemonade instead. I ordered the paneer and samosa chaat, and the flavors were spot on. I dipped my paneer wrap in the mango sauce, and it was the perfect touch. I would definitely come back--the food tasted so fresh and flavorful that it never once felt like I was eating at a chain restaurant. The space itself is cute, with plenty of seating and easy access to sauces, utensils, and napkins. My only critique is that the restaurant was cold inside. It was already a chilly day, and it didn't feel much warmer than eating outdoors. Overall, great food and great service--just wish the heat was turned up on that cold day!

I'm having a multi-event wedding this summer and we've been looking for a good caterer and heard…read morereally good things about Bombay tandoor. Went with my fiancé and family to try out the food and everything we got (chicken tikka, mixed grill, butter chicken, chicken Amritsari, chicken biryani, carrot and moong dal halwa) were all delicious. Ambiance was nice with Indian songs playing. Service was a little slow, we had to call people down constantly to get water refilled or order more food. From this experience alone, I would've given this a 4 or 4.5 stars. However, about a week later, we had a small family gathering and order to-go trays of chicken tikka for others to try. Unfortunately, this time the flavor wasn't as strong or good and the tikka was more watery than we expected. We also got paneer tikka, which tasted good but for $16, it was only 5 pieces. Called the restaurant to give feedback regarding the watery tikka, and whomever my dad spoke to was rude and condescending. They asked if we were South Indians as South Indians generally do not like the taste of North Indian food. First of all, not true. We had the exact same dish a week prior and it objectively did not taste the same. We also asked why they charged us $16 for the paneer tikka as the menu said $14 and he said that the Leesburg location is priced higher, which again, not clear anywhere on the website or when ordering. If anything, I would assume Tysons location would be more expensive. Anyway, we went from excited that we found our wedding caterer to feeling hurt about the way that one man spoke to my dad. But the first time we had the food in the restaurant was really delicious without any professionalism issues.

The chicken tandoori was my favorite. Moreover, the customer service was wonderful. I never had to hunt anyone down to get my water refill. Lastly, this is a great restaurant to go to if you are looking for a place that isn't too noisy. Would return!

Sometimes these sampler platter dishes have a feel of being lazy or like they just throw whatever in there, but this was beautifully presented and offered an excellent mix of tastes and textures, including multiple appetizers and desserts, and even a drink, though it turns out that I'm not a huge chaas fan. I got a chai instead and otherwise wolfed down the entire mess on an empty stomach. While the strip mall setting isn't special, it was a nicely decorated place inside. I've tried to go before and found it packed at peak times, so I was glad I took the opportunity on a slower midweek night.
