Best Indian food I've ever tasted, hands-down. Look for the following song while reading this…read morereview: Chand Dekh Lena. It is on rotation now while I film this video review and it captures the spirit of the vibe at Maryland Tandoor: casual yet slightly-opulent, Indian-traditional and mostly accommodating. Your first impression when walking into Maryland Tandoor: it kind of looks like that glorified burrito bowl chain all across America but they bring your food to you, here. But once you are seated, all of the comparisons drop. I've never had better Indian food anywhere. I often feel like this after many Indian meals so I'm kind of biased, but I think I am not the only one who might say that the casual Indian fare here is uncharacteristically exemplary. It goes with the decor here: gorgeous yet you stand in a line to order your food by a steam table. Many of the entrees here are around $15 and are every bit worth it. Don't miss the Specials board on the left as you walk in. It's blinking yet somehow still nondescript and features some meat and bean specials. Maryland Tandoor is defined by a gorgeous lounge-ish interior with a cafe style. It plays modern and appealing Indian music and serves entrees you will likely not soon forget. I already miss it as I write. The chai is creamy and buttery. You serve yourself from a chai dispenser machine. I just needed to add sugar. The garlic naan is good. You can really taste the cilantro. They have perfected the dough here: the dough on the samosas is so warm and soft and fresh. Very tasty. The same for the naan delivered with the meal: this is the first time I ever smelled naan that smelled like buttery pillsbury biscuits. It didn't taste like them, but the smell was reminiscent. Delicious. On their own, the chunks of salmon tandoori are perfectly marinated, moist and delicious. The butter chicken sauce is delightful. It is sweet, with actual tomatoes and a creamy sauce. The chickpeas are the best I've ever had, also! They are so fresh. These chickpeas adds actually are not over marinated and sauced to a point where they cauld be virtually any bean. More on the decor: the seats are oversized, soft and comfortable. They are fit for a king. The two-top tables are also gorgeous, gilded and lovely. Yet it's a casual cafe. Love the irony. Maharani Palace in Herndon and the Royal Tandoor in Gaithersburg are also owned by the same 'Royal' brothers. It's high time that the University of Maryland had a proper Indian restaurant as its student population is comprised of many Indians over at least 4 decades.

I had just arrived in town after a long flight, and a colleague recommended Maryland Tandoor. I…read moreactually planned to visit in person, but when I arrived at my hotel and noticed they were in my food delivery app, my tired body took over and I was soon ordering their tasty goodness to enjoy from the comfort of my hotel room. Of course, I had to order a mango lassi (soooo good) to accompany my butter chicken plate. It came with a heaping portion of piping hot basmati rice, and I also grabbed a side of (spicy!) samosas and some garlic naan. This place did not disappoint. It was incredibly tasty! And the portions were huge. I actually had plenty to eat for breakfast the next day. I especially loved the reusable bag it all came in - I was able to use that as a modified packing cube when I headed home. Highly recommend this spot if you're in College Park and having some Indian food cravings!

My friend and I split a dal and the spring dosa, both of which were delicious. Others at our table had the iddly , the lamb tandoori, and the mango lassi and gave them rave reviews. There is also a tasty lime soda with basil seeds in it. I hadn't been to a local Indian place since the old days when I would to Woodlands and Tiffin. Amber Spice will become my new go-to.

I came here for lunch with a friend. Like many Indian places, they do shut-down between lunch and…read moredinner. They close at 3pm and reopen at 5pm. We were headed to Amber Spice for a late lunch, and fortunately, we made it in before the 2:45pm cutoff (I called ahead to check). Since it was almost lunch closing, they did request that we place our orders soon after being seated. We already knew what we wanted to order, so we didn't feel rushed otherwise. We started with the veggie samosas ($6, two pieces), which were served with the traditional tamarind sauce and spicy cilantro chutney. The samosas were packed with the potato and pea filling and had a lightly crisp exterior. They were as good as any. For my entree, I ordered the butter chicken ($20), which is served with a side of basmati rice. When ordering, the waiter didn't ask about spice level. I did find their butter chicken to have some heat to it, but it wasn't anything crazy - I'd say a 3/10 for spiciness - I felt the warmth. The chicken was super tender and moist. I would be happy getting this again. I also ordered the garlic naan ($5), because you have to have something to sop up the curry goodness. The naan was hot and fresh; you could also taste the garlic. One basket came with four pieces (one whole naan), which is perfect for sharing. I finished the meal with the gulab jamun ($6) for dessert which came with three pieces of the fried dough balls served in a sweet syrup. My friend ordered the mango kulfi and loved it! She described it as a mango lassi, but frozen, which made it that much more light and refreshing. Amber Spice is a casual dining spot and it has the service to match. We were brought a carafe of water for the table to start, so it was self-serve the rest of the way. Food was brought out quickly and plates were cleared at the end, but we weren't checked on during the meal. Perhaps since we arrived near lunch closing, service was winding down, but we got what we needed. I enjoyed the food here and would come again. Everything that we had was not only super tasty, but also reasonably priced. There's also plenty of parking in the shopping center.

Kabob n Karahi uses authentic spices, and what you get is like the difference between chef boyardee and actually going to Italy. This is a very local chain, and the restaurant honestly feels a bit like a high school cafeteria. It's probably not the place to go for a date night. :) This is why I have gotten take out 47191 times and eaten there once. The food is amazing, and going in does have the benefit that they'll often have specials not in the menu. I'm currently polishing off a lamb kabob, and I actually found a black cardamom pod in it. That's such a different flavour than you'll get most places (and despite the name, it's not cardomom). It's rich in sumac and just YUM. Stop in and grab dinner in the way home, for something flavourful, unique, authentic and just plain different.

Great Authentic Flavors…read more I had a wonderful meal at Curry Place in Silver Spring and thoroughly enjoyed the dishes I ordered. The flavors were authentic, rich, and made with quality ingredients. Here is how the meal broke down: Samosa Chaat: This was a fantastic starter with a kick. The flavors worked so well together, especially with the mango chutney, it added a delicious sweet and tangy complement to the dish that I couldn't get enough of (I would love an extra side of that chutney next time!). My only critique was that the raw onions were a bit overwhelming, so I ended up having to pick some of them out to keep the dish balanced. Rosemary Garlic Naan: Absolute perfection! You can really taste the freshness of the herbs, garlic, and quality olive oil. It was fragrant, perfectly cooked, and elevates the standard naan experience. Lamb Korma: A standout main course. The korma was wonderfully rich with a distinct, delicious nutty flavor profile. It paired amazingly well with the rosemary garlic naan, making for a super satisfying combination.

As someone unfamiliar with this type of food, I had no idea what to expect, but let me tell you, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Chicken Kati Rolls. The chicken was bursting with flavor. The recommended side of spicy sauce added an extra kick that elevated the overall experience. To complement the rolls, we also ordered fries. They were perfectly cooked and paired exceptionally well with a mayo dip. Adding to the positive experience was the seamless pick-up process. Ordering was a breeze, and when we arrived to collect our meal, everything was ready and waiting. Definitely coming back!

This interesting find popped up in my Grubhub search for random bites. What grabbed my attention?…read moreThe NYC-style chicken/lamb over rice (IYKYK). Having lived in NYC for a couple of decades, I pretty much survived off of chicken or lamb over rice especially after a late night of clubbing, partying and boozing. So, I decided to take a bit of a walk down memory lane...(unfortunately) without the clubbing, partying and boozing. First, I thought the prices for {protein} over rice bowls were pretty fair at 15-16 bucks. For the most part, I was pleased when my order arrived to my house. I would have preferred that the bowl came with a bit more protein (in my case, lamb), but the amount of lamb provided was a decent amount. From my NYC days, I was used to the bowls/platter being filled to the brim with your meat of choice. To be frank, I was expecting a soggy mess when the food arrived because I assumed that the restaurant would add the white sauce to the bowl. However, I was so glad that the restaurant provided the white sauce in its own container. Also, the restaurant provide a decent amount of the sauce because it is not {protein} over rice without the white sauce. ;) The restaurant provides two levels of heat (mild and spicy). Since I was unfamiliar with the restaurant, I decided to play it safe and go with mild. Next time, I'll take the risk and go with spicy...I'm not sure if I will be brave enough to go with the special super spicy sauce (or whatever it was called) in the future. All in all, I had a nice delivery experience with Krazi Kabbob and hope to try some more things from their menu.
