The flavor is on point and it's delicious I have tried a few other dishes and they are good but this one would be my personal recommendation for anybody stopping by. Warning, extra spicy is actually spicy unlike many other restaurants around the area

I got the Naan and that was really good. Of the options we got I liked the chicken korma better than the chicken tikka masala.

I go once a week or once every other week, and every time the food is consistently excellent. The portions are big, and one meal usually lasts 2-3 meals for me. Everything I have tried is really tasty, and have never had a bad dish. The one big standout is their dessert (if you have room for it) - I've tried their rice pudding and carrot pudding. I am not a huge sweets person, but I LOVE these dishes. I've actually started to mix the carrot pudding in with plain oatmeal and it is delicious. And the staff are very nice and very conscious of how long patrons are waiting for their food. I've also never had an issue with having incorrect or missing food. The excellent customer service and delicious food make this place a winner - thank you Spicelife!

There is plenty of space to dine in and they are mindful to make sure you have everything you need if you have a takeout order. The vibe is relaxed and the orders look very much like the pictures. There is even a tv monitor on the wall for you to view how some of the popular dishes are prepared!

I found an excuse to visit this restaurant, which has another location in Alexandria and a history…read morethat the owners take from Roanoke, which is in the same state but is a very, very different place. This place is in the busy part of Arlington near the Metro. I found a single block less than half a mile away with free parking after five but it is tricky for driving. The menu is a diverse Modern Indian selection. I went in a South Indian direction, ordering a Chettinadu dish with a Malabar parotta. They offer all their sauces with a wide variety of protein choices for customization, and I opted for tofu, which isn't exactly traditional but works well. The breads were pull-apart-level flaky, which is on point. I got a chai with just the right amount of sweetness. I didn't realize I'd ordered the spinach pakora chaat at their other location or I wouldn't have ordered it again, but that's because I prefer to try new things, not because it wasn't delicious. The menu is great for special dietary needs with clear marking, but the flavors remain distinctively Indian. I was surprised at how busy it was on a weekday night, but maybe I shouldn't be.

My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the butter chicken and also left with plenty to take home. The service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy while still being elevated and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Dimily-lit Michelin recommended Indian restaurant with both phenomenal food and service…read more I came here for dinner with my fiance and we had a great experience. I tried the mango lassi, we got an order of garlic naan, their signature fried spinach appetizer dish, and an order of both their chicken tikka masala and their version of butter chicken (which I don't know that actual name of off the top of my head. The lassi, their signature appetizer, and the butter chicken were all phenomenal, and the naan and chicken tikka masala were very solid as well. The naan only comes with 2 pieces per order though, which is a little underwhelming. As I mentioned previously, the service here is top-notch. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and food was prepared quickly It looks like their tasting menu is absolutely worth it (we saw the table next to us with it). Also, it seems like their best dishes are featured on their tasting menu, so if you have any questions about what to order I'd recommend checking whats on there! The only downsides were that it was fairly cold and loud inside

We were a large group and ordered a wide variety of dishes including the lamb roll, lamb chops, palak chaat, paneer tikka, crab, shrimp curry, and the Everything Mango dessert. The food was delicious across the board, with plenty of bold flavors and beautifully prepared dishes. The downside is that it comes at a fairly high price, so I expected the overall experience to match the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. We had made our reservation several days in advance for a large group, yet our server seemed to be rushing us from the moment we sat down. Even while choosing our wine, we were repeatedly pushed to make a decision rather than being given time to look through the options. It felt unnecessarily rushed and pushy, which really put a damper on what should have been a special group dinner. The atmosphere is lovely, with a sophisticated and ambient setting that works well for special occasions. Given the prices, though, I expected much more polished service. Great food, but the rushed service left a bad taste and unfortunately overshadowed an otherwise delicious meal.
