Consistently one of the finest Indian restaurants in Northern Virginia, this is where I first fell…read morein love with North Indian cuisine. A true mark of authenticity is seeing Indian families dining here--and the food absolutely lives up to that standard. You're warmly greeted upon arrival, and the service is polished, attentive, and welcoming. The décor is stylish yet comfortable, creating an inviting dining atmosphere. After four years away, it was wonderful to return and see the buffet back. The selection of savory dishes is impressive, complemented by desserts and drinks--including an excellent mango lassi. This is a family-owned restaurant that takes great pride in both food and hospitality. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommended, and don't miss their sister restaurant in Falls Church, Mumbai Central, which upholds the same exceptional standards.

The Butter Chicken also got rave reviews from my husband, who went with another friend. It is quiet, has some outdoor seating, the service is nearly fine-dining levels, and the food is delicious.

You'll get a code via email, but you still have to redeem that code IN the restaurant. I was expecting a electronic gift card. And since the restaurant is geared towards food delivery services and take out, when you redeem the gift card in the restaurant and order there it takes them FOREVER to get you your food. In my case it took more than half and hour from the time I ordered until I got my food; so I had to burn all that time sitting around in the restaurant, while other take out orders and delivery services got their food more quickly. The restaurant itself is clean, if a little dated.

We were greeted and chose to sit near the front of the restaurant. Our waitress was perfection. There is no other way to describe her consistent care. She was never over-bearing but always accessible. She brought over each course perfectly timed. The service alone would be worth another visit. The food. Holy cow, the food. It was delicious! We have been to several Indian restaurants in the area and were never quite satisfied. This restaurant is so good. The Naan alone deserves to be noticed. It was amazing. Everything we ordered was done well. I ordered the Mixed Grill Tandoori. My husband had the lamb vindaloo. It was so good. It is a little unassuming place in a strip mall, but definitely worth a visit.

Such a kind gesture and the food was DELICIOUS. We will be going to Lassan in the future next time we are wanting Indian food.

Ever since I first tried it when I was in college, Indian cuisine is my favorite. Because of that,…read moreI've been to a LOT of Indian restaurants over the years, and Lassan is easily in the top 3 for me. The food is always excellent. It has those above-and-beyond touches that let you know that extra care went into it: the meat and naan cooked in the tandoor oven always has just the right amount of brown; the vegetables have just the right amount of caramelization. The sauces are deep and flavorful. The gradation of spiciness is nicely linear -- you won't get surprised when you jump up one level. The plating and presentation is simple and delightful. There is quite a variety of mixed drinks on offer! My absolute favorite is the boozy chai. This one might be one of my favorite drinks of all time; it's very much like an apple cider with just the right kind of alcohol in it. It's warm, rich, deliciously spiced (not spicy, spiced), and it has a wonderful layer of foam on top. Definitely try this. To cap it all off, the service here is always impeccable. Good recommendations, excellent balance of presence and leaving us to our devices. We very much appreciate whenever we get to eat during Sujal's shift, so please pass along our thanks to him as well! This place is fantastic. I cannot praise it more. We will be moving away from the area in the coming months, and will be very sad to lose it has an option. If we're ever in the area again, we will not miss the opportunity to eat here! (For the record, I am not AI just because I used an em dash!)

It had garage parking nearby. My chickpeas were spicy as ordered, and came with two nicely puffed breads, and an array of pickled onions with a fried chili pepper. It was a proper rendition of the dish. Someone else ordered the same thing and asked for extra salt to dump on the chickpeas, which just baffled me. The flavor was ample. I also ordered a chai, and while they call it a cutting chai (which I understand to mean cut in half in size), it was a decent amount and a nuanced mix of spices. The owner was a little odd and was making calls to various tables and being kind of pushy such that it made one little girl uncomfortable to the point where her party complained about it, which was acknowledged by staff. I would advise them to put the customer's well-being first, but neither I nor the offended parties would seem to have any compunctions about coming back for the food.

You have to come hungry to be worth the price, but I got my money's worth. There was a chaat station, several appetizers, and numerous entrees.

The signage promised a dosa, and I was beginning to wonder if it was true but they make them in batches I guess, and eventually a fresh masala dosa was brought to my table. I got a day's worth of food and probably two days' worth of salt (as is typical for the cuisine), but it was a great mix of flavors and textures.
