Soooo good! Weekend buffet is a must. Great customer service too. I wish they would offer palak panneer and dosa too, would make the perfect buffet. We will be back! read more

We tried calling to place order! Phone number is out of order!? We tried several times calling.

Drive all the way here from Arlington to have lunch with a coworker. I thought they might have the lunch buffet but apparently it's weekends only (so I'll need to come back for that). My coworker ordered the chicken Tikka masala and I got the chettinadu chicken medium spicy. I've never had Tamil food before but this was absolutely 10/10 delicious. I would return just for the chettinadu chicken. The service was also super friendly! read more

Grabbed samosas and Chana masala (medium spice) to take back to my hotel while in NoVa house hunting. The food was delicious, well spices, and piping hot. Service was great, however I would call the restaurant directly for take out vs ordering online - it's through Grub Hub and the wait times are wildly inaccurate. While I didn't eat there the restaurant was clean, brightly lit, and a great place for a date or a family? read more

Mayuri Indian Restaurant - Samosas and Chana Masala (rice not pictured). - Indian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Simply amazing Indian food - and freshly made! Their South Indian food and chutneys is must try. Also try the masala tea! Chicken biryani and gongura paneer pulav takes your palate to next level Ambience is pretty neat - clean and kid friendly with booster seats. Service staff is very polite and helpful. The a-la-carte and buffet both are equally awesome. Be prepared for a food coma though read more

I ordered takeout - The medium spice chicken tikka masala was not spicy at all and just tasted like a creamy tomato soup. There were also huge chunks of red bell pepper in there which seemed pretty random. The chicken was also fairly dry. I also got the garlic naan which was okay but not crispy. read more

LUNCH BUFFET IS WEEKENDS ONLY Went here for lunch on a weekday. They served me a water bottle instead of a glass with ice, which I found odd. Unsure if that's their normal method or if there's a problem with the water supply. I ordered chana masala and an order of garlic naan. Hot, fresh, and fluffy. Was hoping for a strong garlic flavor but it was very faint. The naan itself was excellent, but the garlic portion was not. The chana masala portion was very generous. I ended up having a snack's worth of leftovers. Flavor wise it was ok, nothing special. There were some herbs that I didn't quite like the taste of, as they sort of clashed with the rest of the ingredients. Overall, I had a decent lunch here. Can't really recommend but also can't knock the place. My return depends on how good the other Indian restaurants in the area are. read more

Mayuri Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

portion size have reduced drastically . container for carry out have been changed twice .. portions are so small you can barely feed a solo diner . I'm not sure if it's worth the expensive price tag Mayuri's charges . will look for somewhere else. read more

Service was good. Ambiance was semi-clean. Pretty open for a Friday night at 6pm. Goat curry left some flavor to be desired. Almost as if the curry wasn't thick enough. Garlic naan was good though, loaded with garlic. read more

30+ minutes waiting to pickup an order... like shit, look for another restaurant -- there's 1,000s of options for Indian food in the area. The final reward, missing item. read more

My wife and I got lunch from here yesterday. I would definitely recommend it, but our order was a bit of a mixed bag. The highlight by far was the Mayuri special gobi. It was spicy, flavorful, this dish alone would be enough to get me back. The chicken tikka masala was good too. Nothing that special about it, but flavorful and went well with the gobi. The one part of the meal that was a bust was the Aloo Fry. This may be popular for some people, but for us, the undercooked lentils made it almost inedible. The flavor was great, and the potato was excellent, but there were a lot of lentils that were rock hard. If it has not been for this dish it would have been a 5 start meal. read more

I ordered for pick up but I was pretty impressed by their clean and modern restaurant. I had a pretty early scheduled pick up so I ended up having to wait a little extra. It was ok though because they gave me a nice cup of hot milk tea while I waited and it was so good! I ordered the Chicken Lunchbox and it was a great deal! Two types of chicken, I think it was tandoori style and the other was a curry. It had daal and another creamed spinach onion stew and a big serving of rice and naan. My favorite part was that it had dessert! I really enjoyed everything and I'm pleased that I'll be having another meal out of this, a generous serving! read more

Mayuri Indian Restaurant - Not a bad spot to wait for my food. - Indian Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

See all

My wife and I constantly crave Indian food and, while we rarely visit Indian restaurants strictly for a buffet, we enjoy the variety of items that only a buffet can provide. My wife grew up in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, which possesses multiple restaurants specializing in grand weekend buffets offering a vast array of items. We are always on the hunt for similar places, and Mayuri seemed to fit the bill based on reviews. As such, we decided to visit the Herndon restaurant for a Sunday brunch. We found the buffet selection a more modest affair than the more vast selections we are used to and in comparison to other reviewers' more elaborate descriptions. Think about 6ish vegetarian and nonveg items each, plus the standard accoutrement (naan, rice, chutney, etc), and you'll get a more accurate picture. Despite the smaller selection than expected, we still enjoyed our meal. The staff consistently refilled items throughout service, and the food tasted reasonably fresh. Furthermore, while we ate amply, we did not find the food overly rich or oily as is the case at numerous other Indian restaurants. We also appreciated the Andhra focused flavors, as these often are harder to find than standard North Indian fare and speak to my wife's heritage and palate. Some highlights of our meal included fluffy idli with tangy sambar, juicy and well spiced tandoori chicken, and a well prepared gongura mutton curry. The dining room seemed clean if not a bit spartan. The weekend buffet costs $19.99 per person. We have no reference point for Indian buffet costs in the area yet, but found this an okay value given the quantity of items on offer. Overall, we had a good meal at Mayuri and found the buffet food fresh and tasty. The selection did not wow us but the quality of cooking was there. If in need of a quick weekend buffet lunch with South Indian flavors, Mayuri will hit the the spot. read more

We enjoyed the lunch buffet today. The food was delicious and there was a great variety of dishes I wish there had been a way to have tried it all. The staff was friendly and attentive. read more

I want to give this place 4+ stars. The food is actually good and fresh. South Indian preparations, tried the Sunday buffet to sample a bunch of things. The chaat corner with spinach chaat, pani poori, mirchi Bhajji chaat, amongst others were good. Their sambhar is delicious and many varieties of coconut chutneys. Service is prompt and very clean and hygienic place. read more

I think their food is excellent. I order delivery often. Quality and quantity are spot on.

I want to thank the owner of Mayuri for taking the trouble to make my dinner order right this evening by personally driving it over. I really appreciated that. By far the best butter chicken and rice in Herndon town. read more

I love visiting Mayuri Indian Restaurant. It has delicious, fresh and flavorful and food. Wonderful service. Would highly recommend.

The chicken curry is to die for! I don't know about service. I always order to go but they seem great

Tried Mayuri for the first time tonight and already looking forward to ordering again! We had it delivered. Our order included Chettinadu chicken, butter chicken, malai kofta, and vegetable jalfreezi. Everything tasted fresh and I really loved the spice mix on the Chettinadu chicken. The jalfreezi used freshly prepared vegetables and they were cooked just the way I like, just lightly softened but still some bite . The butter chicken was comforting as it should be. The malai kofta had a pleasant taste and texture, but the sauce was a little sweet for me. The rice was very fluffy. We also ordered paratha and it was freshly made. I could have eaten nothing but oarotha and been happy. Can't wait to try more! read more

This is our favorite Indian food. The food is delicious and the service is great. The ambiance could use some work.

Was there for lunch during the week. I had goat vindaloo spicy, other person had chana masala. We split garlic naan and samosa appetizer. Wow everything was delicious! And the service was very nice also. Portions were a good size, the quality of the food was excellent, and mine was spicy all right, which is what I asked for! Will definitely come back for the buffet which is apparently only on weekends. The place is nothing fancy, just a small clean simple layout in a strip mall. I'm guessing most of their business is takeout. read more

Cancelled delivery orders twice, both more than 20 minutes after they confirmed the order. I don't trust a place that sells food then leaves folks hanging. read more

Mayuri advertises itself as the 'largest Indian lunch buffet in NoVA', and they may be right! Their selection is of a good variety, including appetizers, salads, soups, rice entrees, chicken/vegetarian/goat dishes, tandoori chicken, sides, curries, and desserts. I particularly enjoyed their tandoori chicken, as it was well-cooked, juicy, and had a lot of flavor on its exterior. The chicken curry was also another favorite, as while the sauce could have been a bit thicker, it was still tasty. Besides the basket of naan that is from the kitchen, there was puffy bread as a part of the buffet that was more thick and pillowy, and it tasted great scooping up the sauces. A cold mango drink dispenser was located towards the end, and that was refreshing. Some of the items were forgettable, such as the chewy fried veggies/pakora and the chats. Service was friendly, and our water was always refilled and our cleaned dishes were taken away promptly. Getting the check took some time, but only because the place started to become busy for the lunch rush. If you're in the area, this is a decent option for lunch. +tandoori chicken +chicken curry +larger selection of Indian eats for the lunch buffet +friendly service +plenty of parking in shared plaza lot read more

Delicious carry out experience. Im familiar with Mayuri from its old location in Hunters woods and was sad when it closed. I think this restaurant is the same one. Food is reasonably priced. The Tandoori chicken was my favoriteSucculent and tender. The portion sizes of everything was good and fed two people for two dinners. I picked up my order within 20 min after ordering online. It was ready before being notified even. I would definitely come here again. read more

4 for the food: copious amount of food for the buffet with tons of various chicken curries, chickpeas, chicken biryani, white rice, some pilaf rice, veggies, goat curry, etc. Minor neg: it was all spicy. However, the chicken and goat were all super tender and tasty. There is a chai station, but the little bathroom sized cups are so tiny. 1-2 for the service. No menu, no price, no indication of what to do. You walk in and the greeter seats you (she also is the cashier). There is a bottle of water on the table (I didnt ask and it comes with your meal). You then just get to the buffet line. No one talks to you or brings you anything, but they do clear your plate away if you walk up for plate number 2. I noticed there was another indian buffet place a few storefront down, but the buffet wasnt as extensive, but it was a few bucks cheaper. So, weekday lunch of $13.01 + tips wasn't too bad. It definitely hit the spot. Just needed to up their service game and put some pieces up somewhere. However, there seems to be a good amount of regulars who knows how it worked. read more

Great food. We had a takeout. We got goat curry, malai kofta, and naan bucket. It was delicious.

Tried weekdays and weekends lunch buffets here many times. Each time eaten there the foods were just amazing, aromatic, incredible rich flavors with delicious marinated spices transported me to India as I was there enjoying authentic experiences of local cuisines. The restaurant staffs were super friendly busy worked hard to accommodate all customers. The variety of buffet dishes with tea and ice cream desert just made pleasant, enjoyable and provide opportunity moment slow down to soak in the experiences of a simple day. I do imagine running a restaurant is hard and even more challenge offered buffet style so the local customers get to sample the variety of Indian cuisine cooking. My greatest compliments to restaurant owner and staffs, hope could continue the great services weekly in anyway could to local community. Coming out of the pandemic, economic going through inflation, global ongoing turmoil conflicts, etc... restaurants humbly need community strong local customers support in anyway could greatly appreciated to continue offer variety cuisines locally. It is a win to local community development so we all thrive together. Please engage with restaurant owner and staffs in anyway they could help correct any issue encountered or do better there or later would be constructive and helpful rather slander restaurant business in a review just not who each of us is. When possible help each other collectively as a community we come out as winners or lose if picked on each other. Thank you to all the restaurants and local customers for their services and supports, so peace all!!! read more

You wouldn't expect the quality we encountered in this strip mall. But I will certainly go back, especially for the weekend buffet!

Very nice high quality buffet on weekends. Great service too. Clean location. Tasted home-made.

Ordered on DoorDash Price: decent compared to places like Bollywood Food: got the usuals Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Both dishes came with white meat breast with a good amount of piece. I'm not a huge fan of white meat but I know other people could appreciate it. For me, should be made with dark meat always, I got the chicken tikka spicy and BOY WAS IT SPICY. Woowee I felt that the next day. Rice: delicious, fluffy, decent amount! Overall: 4/5 (though would not recommend for people who like dark meat) read more

Ate lunch buffet with a Thai friend 9 June 2024. I am Thai and know exotic food. The food at Mayuri Indian restaurant in Herndon, VA is ABYSMAL. If I could give it zero stars or less I would. Every dish of the buffet was so salty it could not be eaten or it so overwhelmingly spicy it could not be eaten AND I AM THAI !!! I gave them a 13.84% tip before taxes (rounded up to $50) but wanted to give no tip at all, total $50 for two people. And to top it all off, TODAY 24 June 2024 we got our credit card statement and they charged $55 when the receipt CLEARLY SAYS $50 with tip and taxes. Since the card is associated with our local band WE HAVE TO GO TO THE BANK TO SHOW THE RECEIPT !!!! All for $5 that I suppose they did NOT expect we would NOTICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must assume the people who gave this restaurant the many good reviews you see on Yelp either didn't really eat there or are Indian natives accustomed to rotting offal for a meal. read more

Excellent service. Loved our dishes, chicken korma, lamb Rogan Josh, the Naan was some of the best. Dosa had more oiliness than we are used to, but yummy. read more

They seem to have lost our paid order. Took 30 minutes beyond our pick up time to get the food

I ordered chicken briyani slp and chicken manchurian as a takeout and both turned out good and tasty. That's the reason ive given 5 star because the food was really good and up to 5 star taste read more

I was craving butter chicken and found this place was rated well for what I wanted, so I placed an order for to go. Food was prepared extremely fast! The butter chicken sauce was creamy and delicious. I didn't try anything else besides the butter chicken entree but will be back to try other things on the menu. Definitely recommend if you're looking for some solid butter chicken. read more

I've been going to this place for the last 2 years whenever I crave butter chicken. Let me preface this review with saying that I am not an expert in Indian cuisine, and I literally only eat butter chicken whenever I see it on the menu. This place has the best butter chicken I have had in the NoVA area. It does not taste too tomato-ey, it's the perfect creamy chicken flavor you need to get your fix for Indian food. read more

What food we received was delicious. It seemed that their kitchen was a bit chaotic, and we had difficulty getting our food delivered in a timely manner. We ended up having to leave before our final entree was delivered. We were there for over an hour and a half! They mentioned that one of the dishes (tandoori) takes longer to cook, and perhaps that should be mentioned ahead of time. But ironically, the one dish that didn't get delivered was not the one that took extra time! I would give it another chance if I'm in Herndon again. I'll just make sure I don't have somewhere to be afterwards. read more

I originally found this restaurant through door dash, but it has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat. The food is AMAZING and flavourful! I haven't had anything I don't like yet. Even more so, the service is fantastic as well. I just celebrated my 40th birthday there and they went above and beyond to help make it special, from providing candles and festive music, to just very attentive service. It was most of my group's first time there and they all commented on both the fantastic food and service. Seriously, if you are looking for an awesome Indian dinner, you can't go wrong here. read more

Very delicious and tasty Indian food! The four of us were returning from Dulles to home, the reviews caught our attention, so we went to eat at Mayuri Indian restaurant. Don't let the barebones appearance concern you, the food was some of the best Indian food we've had. We started out with a unique dosa beautifully presented! We shared portions of butter chicken, garlic naan's, lamb korma, and paneer tikka masala. The mango lassi was an added treat! Large servings are standard, we had to take some home! Please don't miss this delicious and fun experience! The owner and staff were very attentive and helpful if you have any questions and can guide you on the best spice level. read more
