This restaurant is in an otherwise residential area; parking was a little bit of a search due to restrictions on some of the streets. My takeout order yielded chickpeas with a vicious kick when I asked for the full spice level, which I mollified with an onion-filled bread. The option to order a tofu appetizer yielded a basic but satisfying set of breaded cubes. My chai was unsweetened and served to quickly wash things down. The portion size wasn't huge for the money. Kind of a 3.5, fine but not great for me. read more

Let me just say...this spot is a gem. We stopped in for lunch after seeing the Chinese Indian fusion concept and were intrigued. The space is charming, though we did notice a patch of peeled paint near our table. We ordered the steamed chicken momo, butter chicken pasta, lamb vindaloo, and kale chaat. Chicken momo - excellent filling and sauce. 10/10 Butter chicken pasta - tasty but heavy; chicken was cut, not shredded. 8/10 Kale chaat - fresh and flavorful, loved the mango. 10/10 Lamb vindaloo - spicy, rich, and satisfying. Only surprise was no chai on the menu, which felt like a miss? Still, we'll definitely be back. read more

1. Service: 5 stars Very nice, professional and knowledgeable 2. Drinks: 4 stars On top of usual beer and wine they also have good tea options 3. Food: 3 stars - The garlic naan was great - lamb Roger Josh tasted so good But all night I had this gag reflux/feeling the taste of the good keep coming back up, which never happened to me before Maybe the spices or the sauce may be too strong or it may have been simmering so long. 4. Ambiance Located at the corner of a building with both inside and outside seats. Right across from a park for people to walk post eating. read more

I was craving Indian food last night, so I got Indochen delivered via Uber Eats. Prices on the app are steeper than in-store, but I'll list the current in-store prices in this review. I've been meaning to try Indochen after hearing positive reviews, but unfortunately, it's a bit out of the way. PALAK PANEER - 19 This came with a small container of palak paneer and some basmati rice. The food was still pretty warm upon delivery. The palak paneer was on the chunkier side, not pureed like I'm used to, but I actually liked that it was chunky. However, I thought it lacked salt/seasoning. The amount of spice was good, but could use a bit more "oomph." The paneer was just OK, not as soft or spongy as I had hoped. The basmati rice was wet, almost to the point of soggy. Meh. The food for the portion size at Indochen is already pretty expensive at its regular price, so I would highly recommend against ordering it off of third-party delivery apps. I'm not opposed to coming back, but I would definitely eat the food dine-in and try something else. read more

The food was hot and amazing with lots of flavor. We ordered tandoori chicken, butter chicken pasta, tandoori salmon, garlic naan, cheese naan, mango lassi, and pog juice. Everything tasted great. The only reason I had to give 4 instead of 5 is because we ordered a mocktail mojito and even double checked with the waitress there is no alcohol once we received the drink. Unfortunately, a sip revealed there was alcohol added in. We let the waitress know and the waitress went to the back check if this was correct and it was. We ordered a sparkling water instead. Other than that, the food was great so I would come back for that. read more

Indian restaurant with both a Chinese influence and a few Chinese dishes as well I came here with my GF and her family and we were immediate struck by how noisy the place was! There weren't too many other parties in the place, so it must just have terrible acoustics. The place has most of the classic Indian staples, but it also has a few unique dishes as well. This goes for both food and drinks. Although the noise was off-putting, all of our food and drinks were really delicious and the service was very fast. read more

Second time's the charm! Came here unknowingly that it was restaurant week and it was delicious! We each got an appetizer and a main and split everything which was perfect. Everything was really good, the standout to me was the tandoori chicken which was so juicy, moist, and spicy (mostly dark meat, my favorite). Food was so good and I really love the location, cameron station is so cute and it overlooks the water which was romantic for a platonic dinner. Service was great too, everyone was super nice! read more

So much good food!! Where to begin... We went there to celebrate a birthday. Among 7 or 8 or us we ordered several apps and entrees and ate family style. I dont know the names of the dishes but there were all jam packed with flavor and so filling. They had a decent amount of vegetarian options too. The servers were friendly but I felt they were too shy and not quite sure when they needed to come back to check on us. They were super helpful when it came to managing the cake we brought in. Would highly recommend. read more

I had a taste for some good Indian food. Indochen did not disappoint at all. I ordered the samosas as an appetizer and the Chana Masala (chickpeas) and rice as the main course. The food was full of flavor. I love the mango chutney on everything. The service was just ok. I had to ask for lemons for my water several times. We went on a weekday so the atmosphere was more of working professionals. When I'm in DC again I will definitely visit this place again. read more

My friends and came at 5:00pm on Saturday. Pre-arrival: Reservations are made on their website but it's weird because you have to wait for the Restaraunt to review your submission, then you get an email back confirming/denying. They was odd and I'd like to know availability immediately. Parking & Service: Considering it was Alexandria, I was surprised parking was so available. It's near neighborhoods and a walking trail and seems like a great location. One of our friends was late in our party of 4, but they didn't mind accommodating us and letting us wait until she arrived 25 mins later. Our waitress continuously kept our water glasses full and they cleared our table as we emptied plates. Food: We ordered so much daggone food, we essentially created our own buffet. BBQ ribs w/ fried rice- 5/5 Lamb Rogan Josh- 5/5 Butter chicken - 4/5 it was a little sweet Grilled lamb ribs- 5/5 Palak paneer- 3.5/5 needed salt and would've liked a smaller portion to order as a side. The cheese was the texture of tofu, not sure if that's the norm cuz it was my first time having it Raita- 5/5 large portion Garlic naan- thick and flavorful *They have cheese naan too, but we didn't order any. I would have loved a dates and nuts naan, that flavor profile would've been amazing with the food. I also appreciated there were chutneys on the menu to order as extra. read more

What a great little addition to the neighborhood. read more

The dinner was fantastic. We had samosas and kale chat for appetizers. The four of us Wolfe down the kale which was delicate and super crispy with a sweet tamarind? sauce. The samosas were stuffed with intact vegetables not mush. The mocktails were all great though on the sweet side (to be expected for the mango one which was like a smoothie. Chicken and lamb kormas were tender and perfectly seasoned. Ask for extra heat if you want it. Veggie options are available with several featuring paneer. Second visit from Vermont. Will definitely return . read more

Came to Indochen during dinner time and I really enjoyed it! I ordered the Butter pasta (butter chicken with penne pasta) it was very tasty! The portion was great for the price ($18) and garlic naan. I wanted to try one of their sandwiches but they were sold out, maybe next time. The service was excellent, our waitress was very nice and attentive. The restaurant has a lot of tables for all party sizes. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

When I was visiting DC, my group and I went here for restaurant week in Virgina and were amazed! $25 per person for a 3 course meal was a great deal. The food was delicious and the ambience was super cute! It's a good thing we made reservations because it was super packed. The veg Manchurian was a little undercooked but the butter chicken, lamb ghosh and chicken tikka masala were tasty with garlic naan. Out of all the appetizers, the kale chaat was our favorite. And of course cannot go wrong with all the desserts: kheer (rice pudding), gulab jamun and rasmalai. Also great service! Highly recommend! read more

The food, staff, and care we got from everyone was 5 star plus! The tandoori chicken, pork ribs, gobi manchurian, orange shrimp were all amazing. Also, the shrimp and lamb biryani's were excellent!

We decided to try this restaurant as part of their restaurant week special since they had great deals - $25 for a 3 course meal including appetizer entree and dessert. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and food. The vibe of the interior is upscale casual and we were able to get a reservation for 4 just a few days before. The food was absolutely amazing. As a South Indian living in the states, I don't often find authentic indo Chinese food but this place truly delivered. They respected our spice tolerance in the dishes and we liked majority of the food we ordered. Highly recommend the curries - especially the butter chicken, the lamb rogan josh and chicken tikka masala were also really tasty. The kale chaat was the highlight of the appetizers. The chow mein was good but forgettable. I would skip the veg manchurian, it was a bit undercooked. The chicken spring roll however was quite tasty. The desserts were good and a nice supplement to the meal, but I probably wouldn't have gotten them if it weren't for the restaurant week special. Definitely planning on coming back here and enjoying more Indian food! read more

Indochen is a cozy restaurant in Alexandria that serves delicious Indian and Chinese food. My biggest worry about these dual-cuisine places is that they tend to make one cuisine better than the other, but it was a pleasant surprise to find this was not the case! We were able to come on a Friday night at 5:30 pm without a reservation and got seated easily. Every dish was so, so good, and I have no complaints about anything. My personal favorites: - Pork belly: The orange glaze was perfect (not too sweet, not too salty), and the pork belly was so tender and juicy. A great appetizer! - Chicken tikka masala: I think this was the star of the show! It's a classic, simple dish that you think tastes delicious everywhere, but then you eat this and wonder what you've been missing out on. The sauce had amazing flavors with the chicken, and this might be the best tikka masala I've ever had. - Butter naan: Hear me out about this one. They were so generous and gave each of us a whole basket of naan, and every piece was light, warm, and airy. I loved how well it complemented the entrees, which are very sauce-heavy. I wish more people knew about this place because it's so underrated. Come here if you can! read more

I love this location in Cameron Station! Much more than their Old Town location. The dining room feels big and airy and modern, yet really cozy. I've come here a few times now, gotten takeout twice and dined in once with friends. My favorite is the crispy kale chaat--such a memorable dish!! I'm not sure if the kale is roasted or baked, but it's total perfection, with mango, pomegranate seeds, tamarind chutney and also mint chutney on top. It's a meal in itself, it's sooo delicious. The other dish I love is the Salmon. It's listed just that way (not to get confused with the salmon tikka masala) and it's served grilled with spices with chickpeas and mushrooms. It was also delicious. Also good is the sesame tofu on the appetizer menu. My friends and I split the shrimp chowmein and the fish mandarin. The chow mein was more on the average side and the fish mandarin was tasty but took a bit of mental preparation as the fish is served whole. Next time I'd love to try the schezwan fish and the keema noodles. The lunch specials look great too and will look forward to trying that on a weekday. Staff here is very pleasant and kind which always makes a restaurant. read more

My sister loves this place so we decided to order takeout while I was in town visiting. I'm a bit torn when it comes to this review because I really wanted to hands-down love it and give it 5 stars but there are a few things I cannot overlook. So here are my pros and cons... Pros: - Indo-Chinese food is a great mixture of flavors and dishes, so I'm all for it - decent portion sizes - there are 2 locations now, but this one is conveniently located inside a neighborhood where parking is easy - short wait time - good food options: Orange shrimp was tasty appetizer, chickpea curry and rice was good, samosas were decent Cons: - why is it soooo expensive??? - I forgot I ordered a protein with my chow menu because there were mounds and mounds of noodles and maybe 4 shrimp and a scant amount of veggies on top. VERY DISAPPOINTING! Especially after paying over $20 for this dish. Listen I totally understand inflation but come on, half of the food was not worth the cost. $60 total bill for what we got is not ideal, especially when the main dishes were basically chow mein noodles (because I barely had protein in it) and chickpeas in a curry sauce with rice. Sorry but this was very disappointing and I hope they make a few changes. This pains me to say but I would give Indochen a 3.5 stars at best. read more

I've been walking by this place forever but finally decided to give it a try because of the restaurant week deal they had. $25 for 3 courses The place was packed on a Saturday night and we had to sit at the bar but service was still okay! Wasn't an issue at all Appetizers: Samosa- good! Fairly average Vegetable Manchurian - The filling wasn't dense but the sauce absolutely brought it home. So delicious! Kinda reminded me of general tso sauce Entree: Lamb Rohan Josh- great flavor but wish the lamb was a little more tender. Butter chicken- this dish takes the cake. It was more flavorful than the lamb. Even if you're afraid of the butter chicken being run of the mill, cast that aside. This dish is bomb. Typical butter chicken is the last thing it could be Garlic naan- fluffy thick naan. Dipped this in the butter chicken and *chefs kiss* Dessert: Rice pudding- not too sweet. Depth of flavor in the rice pudding that isn't usually found in other restaurants. Great dessert! Gulab- syrupy and very sweet! Your average gulab read more

More of a 4.5. Nice atmosphere and love the location too. Food was prepared well and lots of food options. So we made the most of it. We were a group of 6. Apps: pork belly, great texture and delicious Samosa- good but not remarkable Veggie Manchurian- more like a veggie fritter, I enjoyed it. Chili chicken- it was ok Kale chaat- everyone at our table loved it. It contained mango so I couldn't have it. Entrees: Chicken Chow Mein - it was ok. Lamb Rogan Josh- I enjoyed it Butter chicken- flavorful, loved the sauce Palak Paneer-I would get it again Chicken Biryani Rice- large portion! It was good Garlic and plain naan- you just can't go wrong with naan! An overall nice dining experience. We would definitely return but I would request more "heat!" A personal preference. read more

AMAZING FOOD & HOSPITALITY My girlfriend and I made the two-hour trip from Goochland, VA, to try Indochen after reading rave reviews on Reddit and Yelp, and it was absolutely worth it! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The food was WOW! We ordered the Butter Chicken and Salmon Tikka Masala, deciding to share both dishes, and every bite was perfectly creamy with rich, blended flavors. Every bite was delicious!!! We also indulged in their Rice Pudding, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. The service was just as impressive as the food. The servers were incredibly kind, attentive, and graceful, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The menu offers a great variety at reasonable prices, making it accessible for different tastes and budgets. We're already looking forward to our next visit--maybe even to try their private dinner options for a more enchanting experience. If you're debating where to eat in town, just go to Indochen. You won't regret it! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for incredible Indian fusion cuisine and top-tier service. read more

Food is very good & tasty. Best Tandoori I had and loved the Kale Salad. Restaurant is beautiful and service is very good too.

I took a small group to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was everyone's first time, so I order buffet style and shared. Surprisingly each item arrived tapas style which was great because it gave everyone opportunity to sample. The service was excellent and because their were multiple people, they all were very attentive without asking. In between the appetizers and entrees, they brought out a new clean plate which was a plus. To top it off, the staff surprise our birthday friend with a delicious dessert. We will definitely be back. read more

An incredibly delicious meal at Indochen! We've been looking for a good Indo-Chinese restaurant and I think the search is over. Everything we ordered was amazing and fresh. We started with samosa chaat. Piping hot, fresh from the kitchen and delicious. For entrees we ordered chicken chow mein, lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Everything was so good. The chow mein was packed with flavor, both curries were amazing and the garlic naan was the perfect pairing. Finally for dessert we ended with gulab jamun. Warm, soft, and the perfect way to end an incredible meal. The service was great, always checking in on us and providing what we needed throughout our time.

Sadly London curry house has closed, it was one of my favorites. But Indochen didn't disappoint. I've been wanting to try this place and today was perfect weather to savor these flavors. Got there right before 6pm & secured the last outdoor table of 4. I started with the Cameron blvd, then we tried the sardines & lamb dumplings (tapas style). For the mains we ordered the whole fried fish Mandarin, which was delicious and the shrimp chow mein. The sauce was perfect. My friend & I really enjoyed this meal, catching up on their patio.

The Chinese food was spicy and a bity oily. The creamy Palak Paneer was the stand-out dish with fresh spinach gravy and tender paneer pieces. The Naan was large and not dense.

My partner and I decided to try Indochen after seeing it pop up on our radar. We sat outside on a warm September evening (inside was pretty empty besides a party in the big room). Food: Melon Chaat - Compressed melon, fresh mint, spices chaat yogurt. The melon chaat is exceptional here! It sounds a little odd for an appetizer, but it is super refreshing and flavorful. I would definitely recommend. Pork Belly - 12 hours sous vide, spiced orange glaze. The pork belly is so tender and juicy, but also a little crispy. The spiced orange glaze was delicious! Fish Mandarin - Pan-fried Whole Pompano, vegetable mandarin sauce. The fish mandarin is such a beautiful dish, the whole-fried fish was cooked perfectly and had a good amount of meat to it. The sauce wasn't my favorite, but it was pretty solid. I wish it was a little spicy or something though. Garlic Naan - Really hot and fresh naan! Super yummy with the garlic, very fluffy too. The service was good, the waitstaff were attentive and helpful. Overall, I was really happy about our meal at Indochen! It was a little different from the normal Asian food I eat with the Indochinese/Himalayn twist, so it was cool to try some unique dishes. I will definitely go back to try some more! read more
