Outside (9/3/24)
Xavier I.

Tuesday 9/3/2024 I made a takeout order and got the butter chicken $15, chicken curry $14, assorted platter $9, garlic naan $3.99, tandoori chicken $13.99, chicken mo mo $7.99. - The Butter chicken (aka my favorite Indian dish) was pretty decent but it's not really close to the best I've had. Also I wish I could've got a bit more Chicken. - The chicken curry was okay but also a bit underwhelming as it didn't have that strong curry taste & flavor that I was expecting (it was kind of bland). - The assorted platter comes with samosa, pakora, chicken tikka, and lamb kabob (sekuwa). * It was my first time having a samosa and I really enjoyed it (it's a pastry stuffed with potato & peas). * This was also my first time trying pakora and it was pretty decent. * The chicken tikka left me with a mixed feeling: the chicken itself was good but I don't really know what I'm supposed to expect from the "tikka". * The lamb kabob was decent and had a solid flavor profile. * Overall, the platter was very good based on the value and taste of the sampled items. - The garlic naan was pretty cold when I got it but after warming it up, it was solid. - The tandoori chicken comes with 6-7 pieces of small mixed legs & thighs. It's solid chicken but i expected more in terms of taste & flavor. - The chicken mo mos are Indian style dumplings and they were alright but nothing really impressive for me. Although I've had better, this was still a decent Indian food experience. I'd definitely recommend the assorted platter and butter chicken for all of the newcomers.

Chicken Tikka Masala + Cheese Nan
Billy V.

Service was great. Ordered for a pick up and was ready at the time they said it would be. It was steaming hot still after my 15min drive home. The cheese nan was delicious, fluffy, had a nice char. The rice portion is for a kid at best. They need to give a bigger cup. If I had not add nan I definitely would be hungry still. The chicken and sauce itself wasnt the best I had. Lacks seasons. This is me comparing to my go to place in Columbia MD called royal taj. That's real authentic cruisines. But this is good enough to get your fixing. It was $20 for all of this. Inside is fairly small even though I had a to go order. Just wanted to help those out who decide to dine in. They need more lighting, it's too dark in there.

Lamb Saag, Goat Curry, Lasuni Gobi, Veggie Spring Rolls, Basmati Rice

Placed our order online, for pick up. The estimated time was 20 minutes. I drove over early and stopped at another shop near by. I arrived a few minutes early. The lighting inside is very dim. Otherwise, the location is clean and appears to be well maintained. The aroma is very nice. I walked over to the bar/counter in the back. An associate came out of the back and looked at me, with a smile. I said I might be early, but was checking on my order. He checked the order on the back counter and softly said my name. I am not sure if he said anything else after that. I live just a 2 minute drive away. The entrees were still hot. The rice and spring rolls warm, the cauliflower in between. The colors of the food were vibrant. The individual aromas were very pleasant. Each item was very fresh looking and tasting. The cauliflower, Lasuni Gobi, was spicy up front at first bite, but maybe medium at first. Overall the flavor profile was excellent. Both entrees were very tasty. The goat had some fat, which we expected and appreciated. The meat was tender but not too soft. The Lamb dish was very well prepared. The subtle flavor of coconut was in the background. Both entrees were very flavorful, and as expected had their own unique spice combinations. The spring rolls were good, probably could have used a bit more filling to balance the wrapper. The dipping sauce complimented the rolls. We were very happy with the food and overall process to order and pick it up.

First time to try this joint. Very casual cozy little restaurant at a strip mall in Germantown. Hubby and I had cravings for Indian cuisine. This is near the New Grandmart International grocery store so it's perfect location for our purposes. The staff were so friendly and professional. It was a refreshing experience. We got the assorted platter that had chicken tandoori, samosa, lamb and veggie patties with a side of tamarind and green chutney (cilantro and mint). Every bite was delicious! The samosa had crunchy pastry on the outside and perfectly cooked. Lamb and chicken were full of flavor, marinated well. I got the butter chicken and he got the curry chicken. I tried both. I prefer the butter chicken but both were delicious. We got a side of naan and mango chutney and pickled veg . They went together well. Overall a wonderful experience and will definitely come back. I got the Gulab Jamin to go so I'll keep you posted on that dessert! Come try this place.

After all these years our fam still likes y'all :) We like you - we really like you. We've been ordering online delivery consistently for almost 2 yrs now due to what's going on..... and CP has been part of our good eats rotation - the beyond menu app is what we use. Our online delivery order arrives consistently on time with their tasty entrees - no complaints from our bellies. Routinely 99.9999% of the time I post foodporn pics. Photos are way more helpful than reviews imo. Still I'm posting this review if there's interest. Also I'll post pics before reviews 'cause I look for pics myself - just being honest. Hopefully my pics are helpful :) And as usual we'll be back for more tandoori, vindaloo, and for that recent noodle dish I'm crushin' on.

What price is the lunch buffet?

I think it's $14.99/person. Whatever it is it's well worth the price.

Enjoyed the lunch buffet today at this well-lit, comfortable restaurant. Service (plate removal…read moreand filling water glasses) was very good. There's a nice selection of items in the buffet, including some vegetarian items, chicken and goat. The garden salad actually was excellent - very fresh, with tomatoes, red peppers and carrots. The tandoori chicken was very moist and flavorful. There were a few fried items - although I try to stay away from fried foods, they were very good. The lentil dish was nicely spiced. The naan delivered to the table was "ok," not great. There's even coffee available on the buffet - and it was decent coffee. The price for this buffet was under $20. There are a couple other buffets in Gaithersburg at a higher price point and might have an additional item or two, but this buffet is solid and we'll be back.

My mom and I came for the lunch buffet for $18 each, and the service was alright, but nothing stood out. You get all of your food from the buffet except for the naan that gets delivered to your table occasionally. Also, as a tip, I'd recommend paying with cash as it's cheaper. I tried a lot of items, so it's easiest to rank each item into tiers of whether I'd recommend it or not: YES: - Mango lassi - Gulab jamun - Chicken biryani - Deep-fried bread (bathura) - Tandoor chicken - Saag paneer - Samosa MAYBE: - Chana bathura - Butter chicken - Goat vindaloo - Veg noodles - Aloo tikka - Beans - Naan NO - Patty looking thing (best way I could describe it as I don't know the name lol) - Kheer - Aloo matar - Rice - Methi paneer - Dhai vada (this was HORRIBLE) Overall, the buffet experience was okay for the most part, as the food ranged from awful to decent. It's clear to see that my mom's claims did not pass the test, and I'd easily recommend the Muddy Branch Indian buffet for my Indian buffet fix.

A lot of restaurants tone things down to fit American tastes. Chennai Hoppers is one of the few spots in MoCo that doesn't. I've been here a few times now, trying something different each visit. It's unapologetically authentic South Indian cuisine. The space is cozy with a rustic feel. On our most recent visit, we were seated promptly and service was excellent. We ordered a couple of apps and entrees to share. The Kaalan Manchurian was a great start. It's similar to Chicken 65 but with mushrooms. Spicy, savory, and tangy all at once. We also tried the Aadu Nei Chukka. As someone who loves lamb, this one stood out. It's a dry dish with an intense masala that's deeply spiced and full of flavor. For mains, we got the Goan Fish Curry and the Madurai Goat Pepper. The Goan Fish Curry was milder than the goat, but still had plenty of heat since we ordered it spicy. The coconut milk base gave it a smoother, more balanced profile that worked well with the fish. The Madurai Goat Pepper was the opposite. Bold, pepper forward, and dry. Easily one of the better goat dishes I've had. Chennai Hoppers does a great job showing how spices should be used. Nothing is watered down, but everything still feels balanced.

The décor is beautiful, lots of gold accents and very clean. I honestly didn't expect the inside to be so elegant. Even the silverware is gold, and the plates have gold trim. It feels upscale but still warm and welcoming. We tried the lunch buffet and it was absolutely delicious. The food wasn't overly spiced, salty, or sweet, everything tasted balanced and made with care, like something your grandma would cook. I went around 1:45 PM expecting the buffet to look picked over or dry (like many places that late in service), but everything was fresh and fully stocked. Great variety, very flavorful, and the meats were well marinated. The staff was friendly and attentive, my water glass was never empty. Lunch buffet is $24.99 per person and absolutely worth it. They close at 2:30 PM and reopen for dinner at 4:30 PM. There's ample free parking and even a party room for larger gatherings. So happy to have found this place. I'll definitely be back!

This is a great spot for authentic karahi from Pakistan. While I don't know my karahi all that…read morewell (being from India), having been around the DMV area, I have been disappointed with the chicken-version of karahi. Even the recently opened and popular Karahi Boys in Sterling, VA made a somewhat disappointing chicken karahi (although their goat karahi was on-point). Not here though. This place offers three karahi options or styles- makhani/butter, Shinwari, and Butt- with chicken or goat meat. My wife and I picked the chicken Butt karahi and a side of the Lahori chana/chickpeas. The order took around 25 min to fulfill, but it was well worth the wait. The karahi was wonderful with a wonderfully coated thick gravy that clung very well onto the chicken, with the ubiquitousness of warming savory peppery spice in each bite, hiding a slight hint of sour-sweet note that would come at the back end, and made us forget about the disappointing ones we'd eaten previously. The Lahori chana, like many of the chickpea preparations in Northern India and Pakistan, was perfectly spiced with that effervescent note of the baking soda in which the chickpeas were cooked. All in all, a wonderful afternoon meal at a spot that is highly likely to be very frequented by us often. The goat karahi, charga, and rest of their BBQ menu will definitely be on our agenda next. If there was something to rue about, it was the lack of clientele when we went around 1:30-ish pm on a Saturday- not exactly lunch hour but we'd have expected to see more people there (although people were coming in sporadically for pick-up orders). I will highly recommend this place to people to go and try some wonderful Pakistani cuisine and keep the place in business. I, however, will advise against ordering any of the typical North Indian/British Indian staples, like butter chicken or tikka masala even if they're on the menu. Ask the wait staff for recommendations and focus on the Pakistani BBQ and karahi, which is what they're famous for and you'll have a much better experience.
