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…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!

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.

Everything was packaged in a paper bag and the sides were double wrapped with foil and labeled on top to distinguish the different sides. I ordered the palak paneer (full side - $10), black daal (half side - $7), and veggie samosas. I'm not sure how the full and half translate to ounces, but side by side, I feel like I'm getting gypped somehow - like the half isn't half and the full isn't full (and not in a beneficial way)... you can look at my pics and be the judge. We enjoyed the veggie samosas ($7.50 on Grubhub, comes with two pieces). It was served with the sweet tamarind sauce (no mint cilantro chutney/green sauce). The samosas had good crunchy texture and weren't too spicy. The palak paneer and black daal were adequate but not my favorite. The palak paneer had a few large chunks of paneer at the bottom (but I wouldn't say generous) and the flavor was too gingery for me. The black daal was pretty standard in terms of flavor, and a little chunkier than I'm used to. But, I do love daal anything, so this fit the bill. Food was just okay overall - I don't plan on adding this place to my normal rotations.

Fantastic Indian food in Silver Spring, plus great service and lovely decor! I need to go here more…read moreoften. My friend was visiting and there's no good Indian food near her, so of course that's where we were going to go. I've tried Spice Street a few times and have always enjoyed it. We started with mango lassies and the samosa chat. The samosas are served split with a pile of chickpeas and several sauces. It was messy and very good, although next time I might just try the samosas are their own. The mango lassi is SO GOOD! So good! Just get it and thank me later. For our meal we decided to share the dal makhani, saag paneer, and shrimp coconut masala, with a side of garlic naan. We ordered way too much so that we could have some delicious leftovers and that worked out really well. Everything was excellent! I particularly liked the shrimp coconut masala, and would definitely order that again. The saag was a bit spicy for me, but the dal was amazing, perfectly creamy and so flavorful. The garlic naan was perfectly cooked and not oily at all, which you sometimes get at other restaurants. We were incredibly full, but couldn't stop without dessert. We shared the gulab jamen, which was so yummy (as long as you like incredibly sweet, which I do). A special shout out to the team of wait staff, who were all really friendly and responsive. They were great! I now have enough leftovers for at least three more meals. Woot! Go here! Get Indian! Enjoy!
