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!)

Heartfelt Review of Lassan Indian Cuisine…read more Lassan Indian Cuisine delivered an incredible experience that deserves to be celebrated. I stopped in for the lunch special, and it was fantastic from start to finish. The butter chicken was rich, comforting, and full of depth -- exactly the kind of dish that keeps you coming back. Paired with their perfectly warm, fragrant garlic naan, it turned into a full-on flavor explosion that made the whole meal unforgettable. Beyond the food, the service truly stood out. My server, Elish, was attentive, kind, and consistently checked in without ever feeling intrusive. That level of care made the meal feel even more special. Lassan is the kind of place that reminds you why you love dining out: fantastic food, genuine hospitality, and a sense of comfort that lingers long after the meal is over.

They also didn't have our bag ready, but that was fine; they quickly prepared it. The inside was clean and nice. Once we got home, we heated all of our food, which was butter chicken. The spice was very nice and a little tangier than what I usually get, but I enjoyed it.

All the dishes were pretty yummy. My favorite was the samosa chaat. There was a good amount of potatoes and chickpeas and the sauce was delicious. Very good flavors. The saag paneer was a great thick consistency and flavorful. The uttapam was substantive and flavorful, as well. - Menu. Good variety and there's something for everyone- meats, veggies, and vegans. - Price. Pretty reasonable, especially given the quality and portions. Three dishes for approximately $40 is not bad. - Service. My order was ready when I arrived for pick up and within the estimated time frame, which was great. All dishes were nicely packaged and some dishes that were more liquid were also wrapped in additional plastic wrap to ensure nothing fell out. - Location. Pretty easy to find and there's a decent amount of parking. What's not - Quality. I was a little disappointed there wasn't more paneer (I.e., cheese cubes) in the saag paneer. - Parking. Many spots directly in front of the restaurant have signs saying they're 1hr parking. Depending on the day and time you go, that could be inconvenient. - Spice level. I ordered the saag paneer at the spiciest level. I tasted a slight kick, but barely. Just be aware that if you're looking for spicy food, you'll probably be disappointed. Final Answer Pretty good and would like to come back.

The spot is in Kingstown plaza, which there is a ton of parking available and you get to check all the shops around! We usually order Their Samosa Chaat as our main appetizer, the tamarind chutney they use is sweeter than the rest I've tried. The major downside is that the dish used to be 2 samosas cut in half, and now it's just one samosa, which makes the dish so tiny it hurts Also I wish they would add a little bit more yogurt to the mix! I've had before their Yellow Lentil stew or Dal Tadka, it was pretty yummy and the ginger very punchy! I liked to hear that this can be vegan (I'm assuming they would use vegan butter instead of ghee). In my honest opinion it might have needed acidity factor like a green chutney, but having it alongside the Salmon Tikka Massala (which is tomato based curry) was a great choice, because the acidity and sweetness of this other curry balanced the overall dinner experience! As for the Salmon Tikka, I think it's a pretty solid curry dish and the salmon is cooked perfectly! Not fishy after taste or smell. I like their cheese naan, because they use some sort cottage cheese or farmers cheese. their naan usually is more crispy due to the time left baking, but I still bubbly and soft to enjoy on its own, because they use spices and ghee to season them! I'm intrigued how they make their Aloo Paratha! This spot is my favorite to sit down and enjoy Indian food brought to my table during cold nights, so I'll be frequenting here the upcoming winter months!

We were honestly upset that we had already eaten elsewhere, because they serve exactly the kind of food we as Guyanese people enjoy too. We ended up trying a bunch of fudges, and they had a wide variety of them, along with jalebi. The service was very nice, and we bonded over simple meals and shared culture. While I didn't get to try the actual hot food this time, everything looked great and I definitely wanted to. I'm definitely going to make my way back the next time I'm in Virginia. Pretty much this whole outlet area has a strong South Asian presence, and now we want to explore more of it thanks to this restaurant.

Often buffets can feel rushed or inconsistent, but here, every dish maintained its flavor and presentation. I will absolutely be coming back.

There were names on the overhead menu, but not in the windows, leaving us to order by color, shape, or resemblance to other foods (to the annoyance of the server). :-D Nevertheless, it was no deterrent to their Southeast Asian customers, who were ordering boxes of the delicacies, which were sold by the pound or by the item in some cases.
