First time in. Cute place. The woman who helped me was so friendly and had a warm smile. Had the Tadka Dal and a Mangi Lassi. Yummy.

Ordered chicken biryani and goat biryani for takeout. Very disappointed. Biryani is not just some saffron colored rice with meat some spice and meat pieces. If you have no idea how to do it, don't offer it. My chicken biryani had some tamarind in it. What is tamarind doing in a biryani? The quantity was not good. It seemed they ran out of rice or chicken pieces or both. Mutton biryani was ok. Quantity was good and there were good number of mutton pieces. But the flavor was missing. We just couldn't finish the rice. Disappointed. read more

Decent food, nice setup. Manager/ servers were nice. I was there with my toddler and infant and they kept them engaged while we enjoyed our food. read more

Indian Cafe - Indian Near Me - Woodbridge , Virginia

I realized I never posted my first visit so now after several visits and a catering order, I can say this place is consistently delicious! If you want authentic Indian food, this is it! Even my Indian guests have commented on how authentic the biryani tasted. I've tried many dishes here and loved every one of them...from the lamb chops, cholle, samosa chaat, to chicken and lamb biryani! And the owners are the friendliest people! So kind and welcoming! read more

See all

Very good food and friendly customer service! The goat biryani is delicious. Dishes are all constantly good!

Absolutely delicious! Great service. I had the butter paneer. Loved it. My husband had chicken korma and enjoyed it immensely. The garlic naan was the best!! read more

Indian Cafe - Indian Near Me - Woodbridge , Virginia

Ordered Indian Cafe for the first time tonight. It was not what I had a taste for. The butter Chicken tastes more like chicken tikka - not one bit of sweetness to it. The Naan was covered in fresh garlic and the bread tasted flavorless, even with all the garlic. The service was overall fast, but I don't think it's worth the prices at all. If you're looking for good Indian I wouldn't suggest ordering here as you will be disappointed, if you have your mouth set on it. read more

We Started jumping into the food before we could take a good picture but everything from the service to the food was amazing to say the least. It's a family owned business which I appreciate . The entire family was so sweet and welcoming. Prices and food portions also very good as well. Definitely will be coming back read more

Indian Cafe - The food - Indian Near Me - Woodbridge , Virginia

Amazing Family-Owned Indian Restaurant! Tried this restaurant for the first time, and it was an incredible experience. It's a family-owned business, and you can truly feel the warmth and hospitality. We ordered samosa chaat and dahi puri. The dahi puri wasn't even on their menu, but they were kind enough to modify their dahi bhalla to make it for my pregnant wife, who was craving it. She finished it so fast that I couldn't even take a picture--so that should tell you how good it was! The samosa chaat was equally delicious, with the perfect balance of spices and flavors. We'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend this place for great food and even better service. read more

Indian Cafe - Samosa Chat - Indian Near Me - Woodbridge , Virginia

Some of the best takeaway Indian food we have found in Woodbridge. Family run with excellent service. Naan made fresh and the dishes have all been very well prepared, perfectly spiced and packaged to go. A gem of a place. read more

The food was pretty good, prices are a little high. I think all the cooking is done by the owners. Overall, I'd say it is a good Indian restaurant, but I like taste of tandoori better. read more

Another great dining experience at Indian Cafe! Five of us dined in and we all loved our food. The customer service is excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff. I had a samosa, chicken curry....and we recommend you try their new menu item: lamb biriyani. They have a lively setting with colorful decor, Indian music videos, and friendly customers. They will be expanding their space later this summer (hopefully August) to have fine dining and a buffet (Indian buffet is hard to find in Woodbridge). ***No pictures to share this time. I ate so fast that I would have only had empty plates to take pictures of :-) read more

First time trying this place. Service was friendly. Food was delicious! It's a little further than some other options for us but we'll still come back here. read more

Really terrific food. Amazing service and staff. And an easy online ordering process. Take out packaging was perfect. And the portions generous. Will definitely be back. read more

Chole bhature was amazing ! Food was great and service too was appreciated!! Would love to come back to try other dishes !

We catered our recent holiday party with Palji- owner of Indian Cafe. He is a very nice gentleman and will go out of his way to make sure you have a great event. His food also is delicious. He brings his food truck and cooks on site- fresh appetizers, kebabs and naans. His staff worked seemlessly with mine and the event was flawless with delicious food- set up was also great read more

Very hospitable staff. Food was fresh and tasty. Prices are reasonable. Will be back to try other items soon. Thank you!

Food is amazing and the owners are SO friendly. The mango lassi is delish - creamy and mildly sweet. my wife and i both had chicken biryani. i had it spicy and the wife had it with no spice. very large portions and made fresh to order. we also had garlic naan - we could have eaten just this for dinner, it was amazing. The husband and wife owner operator team were so friendly. we enjoyed our meal and will go back. read more

I'm so excited this place opened here! I've been missing great Indian food since moving down here from DC, and Indian Cafe checks all the boxes. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is exceptionally friendly -- you can tell they genuinely want customers to feel welcome and come back. It's run like a restaurant that's here to grow by keeping its guests happy, and it shows in every detail. I'm thrilled to have a spot like this in the neighborhood, and I hope it's here for a long time. Welcome to Dale City, I am very happy you are here. read more

Indian Cafe was on the radar for my son and I for quite a while, so we finally went in for takeout. XLNT!! He's vegetarian, I'm not, but there were plenty of options for both of us. Everything was great, from the garlic naan, green chutney (AWESOME!), rice, baingan bharta, chana marsala, chicken tikka (dry). The dish wasn't dry; it's tikka without sauce. Definitely returning multiple times. Oh, and great service as well. New go-to for Indian cuisine! read more

What a gem! Indian Café in Woodbridge has an amazing menu--so many choices it's hard to decide. We tried the samosas, chickpea entrée, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi, and naan. Every dish was packed with incredible flavor, and the portions were huge. We left full (with leftovers!) and couldn't believe the value for the price. The customer service is outstanding--warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. We're already planning to go back to try more dishes, though next time we might order a little less... the excitement of all the flavors got the best of us! Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious Indian food, big portions, and great service. Not a fancy place, but it reminded of us eating in Singapore where the food is more important than the wallpaper. Very clean, also! read more

Highly recommended. Most definately the best in the area. From the genuine greeting, recommendations on dishes as far as heat, it all was a pleasure. I ordered the goat biryani with aloo gabi and naan. Loved every bite! I usually travel to Burke, now I've found quality, welcoming and great Indian cuisine near me!!! See you again soon!! read more

10/10! Food was authentic and flavorful. We loved the mango lassi, goat curry, lamb chops, and samosas. Everything was SO fresh and you can tell the owner really cares about his business read more

We ordered take out from Indian Cafe this week and we loved it! We had the goat curry, buttered chicken, chicken biriani, channa masala, and garlic Naan. Everything was super delicious and flavorful. We ordered spicy for everything. The food was definitely spicy but not crazy. The only reason I went down a star is because I think for the price the portions could be a little bigger. read more

Excellent service, food tasted like home, freshly made. Best chapatis ever eaten at any American restaurant.

Warm greeting as soon as we walked in! Delicious and fresh food with tons of flavor! Plain Dosa, Pumpkin Curry and Chaat Papdi and Gulab Jamun were all so good! The service was attentive and friendly. Small but cozy shop in Mapledale. We can't wait to come back! read more

10/10 recommend. This restaurant is one of the only ones in like a 20 mile radius that does NOT use soybean oil. (I have a really sensitive soy and peanut allergy) They also must have a super clean kitchen because I have no issues with cross contamination (they do have peanuts in some dishes). So, THANK YOU for using quality ingredients it has become almost impossible to find anywhere I can eat (even places like Starbucks or chipotle give me terrible hives) So far I've tried the Gobi Manchurian (fried cauliflower), butter chicken, goat biryani, chicken tikka masala and mango lassi. I would order it all again! The butter chicken and tikka masala were pretty similar tasting (but so delicious) - I'd love to see vindaloo on the menu :) the goat was super tender and if you order spicy, they will give you a few bird eye chilis! Thank you again for using quality ingredients, please don't change!! read more

Nice food !! Exactly what I needed after a long drive. Server was kind. Small but clean restaurant . read more

Terrific food and terrific service. And that's just from a delivery. When Uber Eats delivered our order, they were missing one of the items we had paid for. So I called Indian Cafe, and Jesse answered. He apologized and said, "We can credit you for the missing item or I will personally deliver it to you in 10 minutes." Now that's customer service! Oh, and did I mention that the food was awesome! read more

Great customer service and tasty food! We ordered take out, and everything was ready on time and so, so good. Almost as important, the guy working the counter was genuinely nice and obviously cares about the quality of the food. We look forward to supporting this new business! read more

We went there because of the reviews- the food was terrible. One of the worst experiences in NoVa. The Gobi Manchurian is made in barbecue sauce.. the curries are not made in fresh ingredients at all.. the chutneys are inauthentic and had gone sour. The best was Shahi Paneer was served in a small bowl- 5 pieces of paneer.. All in all- very small portion sizes of tasteless food. read more

Really great food! I have liked everything I've tried so far but my favorites have been the molai kofta and paneer dosa.

Love love love! Best Indian food and service. Flavors were amazing. I had the goat curry and samosas and was not disappointed. We will be returning! read more

I am not a huge fan of Indian food. The spices are overpowering for me personally. I sound like a hypocrite because well I was craving Chicken Bryiani, a Pakistani dish full of powerful spices, I decided to order after another review from a friend who always eats out without me sadly I am great company! Anyway, I ended up enjoying the food but the service took me back because the young man was kind enough to wait for me even though they were past closing time AND he was SO kind & sweet with a HUGE smile on his handsome face! I wish I could eat there more just because of the service from that young man. Thank you and may this business prosper in the future. read more

The worst Indian food in the DMV. I've had better food reheated from a box. I got the chicken tikka masala. It was loaded with methi (fenugreek) to the point where that is all you taste. Especially if you are Pakistani this place will not be up to your standard. This place is a hard pass. read more

The food was delicious. The jackfruit curry was excellent., as was the lamb biryani. And service so warm and helpful. We'll definitely be back. The restaurant appears to cater to take out, though they have 5 or six tables. read more

Awesome! The young man that greeted me was so incredibly friendly and informative. He helped me figure out what I wanted to ordered. He advised me on the amount of spice I wanted in my food. He was spot on. The food was delicious. The restaurant was nicely decorated and very clean. I recommend this restaurant to everyone! I will be going back too! read more

We've driven by this place before and decided to give it a try tonight. All I can say is AMAZING. Jessie served us and was the most polite person we've run into in the 15 years we've lived here!! We ordered the samosas, I had chicken chili and my wife had chicken korma. Food was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and fresh off the grill. Portions were huge, so was worth every cent. I wish we'd tried this place sooner but will definitely be back. They had an Indian equivalent of MTV on with added to a great atmosphere. My new favorite Indian restaurant in the area!! read more

The dishes that I have ordered have always been so flavorful and delicious! The staff is very friendly and helpful. This will be a regular stop for my family. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

the food was amazingggg, the service was top notch, the owners are so sweet and i will for sure come again! we couldn't stop talking on how good the food was! we had daal, lamb biriani, samosas and another appetizer and everything was perfectly delicious. i recommend 20/10 read more
