We've been looking for a good Indian restaurant close to Centreville but everything we've seen so…read morefar had mixed reviews. Mehak had a couple of mixed reviews too, but mainly about takeout orders. In my opinion, you can't really rate a restaurant fairly with takeouts. That being said, we went ahead and tried Mehak and we're so glad we did. The gobi manchurian was not on the menu for some reason, but definitely ask for it! It's really good - very crispy, very flavorful, and not too spicy. The mango lassi was one of the best we've ever had. It was creamy and not tart at all. It was very refreshing. We were debating between the Kadai Goat and the Goat Rogan Josh. We decided on the Rogan Josh but I don't think I could've gone wrong either way. It was really tender and very tasty. We also got the the Paneer Mekhani and it was also delicious. The Garlic Naan was very fresh and perfect for cleaning up your plate of the delicious sauces. The owner and the staff were very nice and they kept checking on us to make sure everything was ok. They did give us bottled water but I felt a little bad for asking for another one. I'm pretty sure they would've given me another if I asked. That was just me. Overall, I highly recommenr Mehak Indian Restaurant if you simply want humble and delicious Indian Food. 5

Solid Indian food here. We've been coming here over the years mostly for take out. Since my last…read morereview, they renovated the interior and looks much more warm and inviting. While we were there, it was obvious that a bulk of their business is take out. Plenty of people came in to pick up their orders. One of my biggest gripes of late with their take out has been the portion size. It is noticeably smaller than other places. So when we sat down to eat, I was pleased to know that we could get more rice. We had 3 bowls of rice. But the nicest part was we didn't even have to ask. The guy asked us if we wanted more rice...3 times! I think I may have to eat there more often.

My favorite items are: -All varieties of biryani - 5/5, with a special mention for their mirchi salan, which has an authentic flavor. -Curry Leaf Gobi - 5/5 for dine-in and 3.5/5 for takeout, as it tends to become soggy. -Chicken 65 - 5/5 The restaurant has a great ambience with a modern, chic décor and gets quite busy on weekends. The service is very attentive, and takeaway orders are always ready within the time mentioned while ordering.

The servers weren't clear about the spice levels and we ordered spicy which turned out to be too hot for our palates.

The chicken lollipop was good, the goat Sukka was alright and the biryani was pretty good.

After I ordered I was told it would take ten minutes, a reasonable amount of time. I come back in 15 the food is not ready, I ask about it and get told it will be out shortly. I had to wait another 15 minutes. My order was incorrect I ordered butter chicken (which was pretty good) with rice, and an additional side of garlic naan. My butter chicken only came out with garlic naan. After going back inside and inquiring about it I was told it would take five minutes. Sad to say it took longer.

Today I stopped by for lunch, just walking by, and ordered their mild G.O.A.T Dum Biryani and Mango Lassi. Kiran the cashier was nice and polite, very knowledgeable and answered all my requests very well. The food came out quickly and hot. I think the mango lassi was a bit small for it's price but tasted homemade. The goat was extremely spicy for me, even after I was asked how spicy I would like it, and I replied very mild, not spicy. It's was difficult to eat it without a lot of extra toppings and sauces to make it more mild, but then my rice turned into soup. I think that if you normally like the spices that made with Indian food you'll agree with the other reviewers here that it's a nice place to eat. For me it too hot and spicy! As a bonus they offered me to try their desert: Mango Rabadi and a small sample of their chicken kabob. The Mango Rabadi was very good, a pleasant sweetened dessert, but the chicken kabob was also super spicy for me but full of flavor! If you like Indian food it sounds like this is the place to go, but for me it's way too spicy! The owner and the cashier were very nice and friendly. I hope they fulfill the area's Indian food option as best they can in the years to come.

I enjoy Pakistani food, so when in areas with Pakistani restaurants, I try to try new ones... I…read morerecently came in here with a colleague for lunch. The place was clean, I could even see in the kitchen and it looked nice. Service was fine. The menu is filled with the typical Pakistani/Indian delights. We tried their chicken tikka (boneless) kabob. The flavors were really good and the meat was tender. It came out perfect. The naan was incredibly soft and perfect texture and density too. Their veggie biryani was more of a mix of curry into the rice, versus the right way of making it with curry folded into the rice with some other colored rices folded in as well. The flavors were just a messy/overall single flavor, rather than tasting the different flavors. The karahi was really just a stewed chicken curry, versus a freshly made stir fried (in a karahi) style curry with fresh tomatoes and chicken. I could tell by how melty and stewed down the chicken was. Overall, the flavor was ok, but it didn't resemble the karahi I'm familiar with from making it and eating it in Pakistani family kitchens over the years. I still enjoyed the visit and if I came back, I'd stick with kabobs

I always ordered the johl mono, aloo gabi, and either the chicken tikka masala or butter chicken and they're all fantastic! (Though I do with more chicken was added to the masala's and buttered chicken but plenty of rice and curry to eat). Be careful with the spice levels though because someone with a milder palette would find the "medium" to have the kick they're looking for. This restaurant is definitely "Indian" level spicy in their spice scale. I'm going to have to stop by in person for their lunch buffet sometime because food quality is amazing. Highly recommend!

t's been a long time since I last visited Himalayan Wild Yak, and I realized I never left a review…read more We went for dinner this past Friday and headed straight to the bar. The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.

We…read morestopped by once in 2021, but left because it was empty and they no longer had the lunch buffet. We made the mistake of coming here (on a weekday evening) and left wondering, "How is this place still open???". There weren't any other customers, which should have been the first sign to leave. Zero decor, second sign to leave. The menu looked like it was typed up by a high schooler, no description and was partially hand written, final sign to leave. Unfortunately, being that we had high hopes (since their buffet used to be good), we stayed and ordered a chicken vindaloo and mutter paneer with naan. The naan was like rubber, not sure if it was heated in the microwave or old. The chicken vindaloo looked/tasted like regular chicken curry and had bones, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I have ordered chicken vindaloo from many other India restaurants and they always had boneless chicken and actually tasted like vindaloo. The server wasn't helpful in any way and didn't seem to know much about the food. We barley touched the food, paid and just left the rest of the food on the table.

There's this potato chip-like thing (I forgot what it's called) that they sell out of zip-lock bags at the cash register. Seems sketchy but they are quite good. My dad and my son both seemed to like it. In terms of helpfulness, I think the owners/employees could be a little more helpful to those who aren't familiar with Indian cuisine.
