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.

We had a delightfully spicy dinner delivered by Al-Madina and then visited to try their simple $20…read morep/p buffet. They also have a full menu including kabobs, biryani, chicken, shrimp, goat and bean entrees. Al-Madina serves huge naan, it's true. I've only had the plain naan basket. I would like to try the garlic and kabuli naan with sesame seeds. Love the Yogurt Salad here. It's a gigantic bowl of yogurt, cucumbers, onion, tomato, mint, cilantro, and lemon. It's bountiful and delicious. We tried the samosas with potato, coriander, mint, cumin seed and red chili's. Very good. We enjoyed the Butter Chicken but it was not like any butter chicken I've had before. There was very little butter and cream present. The sauce was red and spicy. I ordered it as a mild version for the person eating with us. Maybe one could request extra cream if they are looking for a traditional, Amercan-ized, Indian Butter Chicken dish? It was flavorful, for me, though. We also enjoyed the Chicken Tandoori. It is moist, very well-seasoned and delicious. Zero complaints! We really liked the Chana Masala which is great for vegetarians. This is a chickpea dish with spices, and you can tell they have been marinated for a very long time. We tried this on the buffet. The Kabuli Palaw is a very mild and lovely rice dish. It comez with bone-in beef (so if you are serving children or seniors, pull this meat out for them), basmati rice, raisins and carrots. The raisins make it sweet and great. The Chicken Biryani is good and spicy but I enjoyed that it wasn't a fire-spice level. We ate this at the buffet so it was on the medium-spicy side vs. other wildly, spicy biryani's. The Kheer is super-delicious! It's a rice pudding with milk, heavy cream, almonds and pistachios. We also had this in the buffet and loved it. Especially the cardamom notes. The Chai is served very quickly here, so I'm wondering if they have a large soup pot of it in the back. It's nice but add sugar if you like it sweet. I liked that I didn't have to wait forever for it. The spices are just right and I ordered a second one! The service here was very friendly. Most of the staff spoke to us when I requested things and it is like an all-hands-on-board approach. This is why they describe themselves as fast-casual: you can just go to the front and ask for what you need when you are eating at the buffet. Things on this menu which pique my interest: White Lassi (dogh). I looked it up and it's plain yogurt and sugar with aromatics such as cardamom or rose water. They have the following fresh fruit juices: banana, mango, apple, orange, lemon, and watermelon. You can also mix two fruits. I wonder if you can add yogurt because I've and never had banana juice. The Afghani Sheryakh with milk, cream, sugar, cardamom, crushed almonds, saffron, and pistachio also looks delicious. The lentil soup looks delicious, as well as the lentil entrees. When they say it's fast-casual Indian and Pakistani, this is helpful because I've seen words, "Afghan," in titles and Kabuli in a dish name mentioned on the menu so it's a bit confusing. But a woman I was speaking with said the cooks are Indian and Pakistani. Madina is the name of 'the' holy city in Dubai. Maybe it's a similar concept to Jerusalem for us Christians. So there is this whole menangerie of countries mentioned in the menu, basically. The cooking here is the least closest to American Indian that I am used to eating. We really liked the flavors here. I saw jalapeños in a few of the buffet dishes and for me, all that was missing was beer to tamp the spice! Ah well, Coke and Pepsi did the trick for now. Would come back to Al Madina again. It's probably the closest I'll get to the real city of Madina in Dubai.

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.

The restaurant was empty beside us and the workers. I would suggest you have your order in mind before entering the restaurant. I ordered the halal bowl with chicken. There was a buy one get one free meal. We also ordered a burger. The food was very average. The chicken had a tacky texture and it didn't have the robust flavor I was use to at other halal places. The rice was a little dry. I enjoyed the dressing that was on the entire meal. The bowl was mostly rice. I would have loved a balance of all options. I see this place is mostly frequented by college students. I think it's a decent place to get an affordable meal. I'm more of a food quality and ambiance restaurant goer so I will probably not be back.

The chicken over rice (I only ate a spoonful) was hearty. The "hmmmms": I put the chicken and fries in the air fryer to get an added crunch. Flavorful, but just okay. To be fair, wings have to have a specific flavor and texture in order for me to truly enjoy them. I totally understand the process of what makes something halal, including what gives the chicken the red color, but this chicken was simply too red for me to eat, like beet red. Again, the portions are hearty and it had a nice flavor. If you like foods prepared on the softer side, you'd like Naz's.

Food: 10/5 This is where they shine! I ordered the Large Lamb with Jollof Rice each day, and it was consistently great. The lamb was full of seasoning with that perfect grilled flavor. It came with sautéed onions, and you might think "onions?!" but trust me, they complement the lamb perfectly. People love to talk about Nigerian jollof, but the Senegalese version might have them beat! The only reason I'm not going back a fourth day in a row is that my wallet needs a rest. Highly recommend!

Food Truck Serving Up Indian Cuisine…read more Through marriage, I'm very familiar with Indian Food. On this day, while visiting a friend I saw this food truck park in front of a residential building near Shady Grove metro. I was eager to reacquaint myself with this South Asian cuisine. I walked up to the truck and ordered Biryani, a rice dish that can be vegetarian or include meat ( chicken, lamb etc). I ordered the lamb version of the dish. Service was quick and friendly. It was delicious and well-made, it was a delight to eat. My only regret is that it wasn't Indian spicy or includes a container of sauce to turn up the heat or the yogurt side sauce. Yes, I recommend this food truck, if you love rice main dishes with a US level spice level.
