We got the chicken biryani for lunch when we were shopping at this mall. The portions were big enough for tow people to share one which I loved! They also gave us generous portions of protein which malt places refuse to do and just load your box up with rice. The chicken pieces were big as well. The flavor of the biryani was a little different than the many different types of biryani I've tried but it wasn't bad - just different. They also have snacks from different parts of India - north east west and south. I will return to try those snacks too. For dessert, they also have the matka kulfi which is clay pot ice cream like dessert. I absolutely love kulfi and will return to also try the kulfi and other desserts and report back. read more

At the Mall & needed a snack to get me through the ordeal of being at the Mall (Grandaughter B-Day request)- LOL While walking saw this spot, the smells & menu prices drew me in and I decided to give it a shot. Friendly Counter Service, she was patient and everything I asked about she said I would enjoy- LOL. She was right !!! I did the Fish & Fries - $10 - Amazing taste, definitely different than my normal. The fish was juicy and it instantly became a new favorite. The fries that accompanied it were hot, fresh & very good. Wife ate 1/2 of them. I also loved the Tarter Sauce that came with the Fish. I have to say the whole combo was amazing & you get a big Bang for your buck. If I did not have (3) people dipping into my fries, it would have been more than a snack. I also did a $4 Chai/Coffee - it was also delicious, took me back to my Afghanistan days at Green Bean. read more

This was my first time at Naan & Beyond and it definitely won't be my last! The cashier, who was also the cook greeted me with such friendly customer service. He took the time to walk me through the menu since I was new here, which I really appreciated. The food is made fresh, so you do have to wait a bit, but it's absolutely worth it. We ordered the Meat Box (goat meat over rice) and the Chicken Box (butter chicken over rice). Both dishes came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The basmati rice was delicious, and I also added naan bread. Next time, I'll probably go with plain naan instead of garlic -- but that's just personal preference. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion size. While it's not a full dine-in restaurant, there is a small seating area just a few steps from the ordering counter. Overall, a wonderful first experience! I noticed another family enjoying what looked like a kabob platter, and I'm already looking forward to trying that on my next visit. Highly recommend! Do you want me to make a shorter version too, in case Yelp has a character limit? read more

I had a really disappointing experience around 5 p.m. at Tyson Court. I came in planning to place about a $40 order, but I ended up walking out because of how I was treated by the man working the register. From the start, he was visibly annoyed. He rolled his eyes while I was speaking, didn't want to answer simple questions about the dishes, and acted like helping me was an inconvenience. I was polite and just trying to clarify a few things before ordering. Instead of basic customer service, I was met with attitude and dismissiveness. It takes a lot for me to walk away from a $40 order -- especially when they had my favorite dishes available -- but the interaction was so rude and uncomfortable that I chose not to give them my business. Customer service matters, regardless of the order size. I hope management addresses this, because no customer should feel unwelcome for simply asking questions before placing an order. read more

Delicious Saag and Mutter Paneer Curry and crispy Dosa! The food is on the mild side and surprisingly not greasy. There's a lot of menu items with both Northern and Southern indian food. I was pleasantly surprised to see 8 curries to choose from, 4 vegetarian and 4 non-veg, the curry selection changes from time to time. While it's sad to see both DC locations close, I'm glad that Naan & Beyond opened up in Tyson's. The old lady working there is very sweet and nice and reminds me of my grandma nani. I ordered a feast with my family and enjoyed the combo deal with creamy Saag (spinach) and Mutter (pea) Paneer and upgraded from Plain to Garlic Naan for a $2 upcharge. The Saag were tasty and on point, I just wish there were paneer and I felt like something was missing - Palak Paneer would be so nice! The Mutter Paneer had a heap of paneer cubes, with a thick and mildly spicy, Tikka sauce. The peas were hard and didn't have the squishy, tender texture. Overall, both dishes were pretty good. While the Garlic Naan was tasty and flavorful, it was a bit flat and didn't have the fluffy pillowy soft texture that I was hoping for. The Masala Dosa was crispy, the savory crepe was stuffed with potatoes and we all devoured it! The crispy Samosa was good and the Mango Lassi was on the sweeter side, but paired well with the meal. The Paneer Tikka Kathi roll was fun to try, but had an overpowering spicy kick and recommend just getting the Paneer Tikka on the side with naan. My family and I enjoyed a delightful feast and the Indian food hit the spot! Excited to come back again with the family. read more

Noticed this new shop and decided to give it a try! Maybe not authentic but nice they offer rolls which makes it easy to eat and walk around the mall! We got the butter chicken roll and it was pretty tasty. The chicken is a little dry and it has many veggies. Tasted like a healthier lighter less saucy butter chicken and the roll itself was good too. 3/5 Will be happy to stop by and try something new on their menu next time :) read more

My chicken was fully undercooked. It was soft and fully pink all the way inside. The butter naan was stale and falling apart, and had no butter on it. Worst Indian food I have ever had, by far. read more

Food was delicious! Great for the price especially. The workers were really nice and were happy to offer suggestions.

Thought I would write a quick review of Naan & Beyond, having just had a quick bite there. This is my second time trying Naan & Beyond and it was great both times. Had the butter chicken, goat biryani and garlic naan. We have had their dosa before also. For a quick bite, it beats every fast food place in Tysons Corner Center. What other counter service can you get goat? No other! The food here is great and reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend it as the best alternative to every other fast food establishment in the mall. read more

As food doctrines go, Lahori cuisine is a category on its own. Hailing from the once capital of the state of Punjab in undivided India, it was influenced over centuries by the many empires that ruled it from Persian to Mughal to Sikh to British and was enriched in each period. Independent India claims many who hail from the city and have carried it's rich culture and food traditions forward into the modern age while maintaining that unique combination of flavor, texture, style and hospitality that still stands out among Punjabi cuisine and is revered in both India and Pakistan alike. I give this introduction because no matter where you find this taste, you can be assured of a memorable meal that is a feast for the eyes and palette. Naan & Beyond may be a mere hole in the wall joint tucked in a quiet corner of the Tysons Corner mall in McLean, Virginia, but it is run by a passionate family that marks its roots in Lahore who were displaced to India after the Partition and have made the U.S. their home for the last 40 years. I found myself at Naan & Beyond yesterday at dinner time while casually strolling the mall and noticed the Tawa Paratha Flatbread on the menu . Even though this is breakfast food, I immediately felt a craving for it and ordered an Aloo (potato) and Gobi (cauliflower) plate along with a masala chai. It took only a few minutes to arrive, each plate with one very large paratha topped with a small stick of butter with mango pickle and yoghurt raita on the side. Each flatbread was stuffed to the edges with the spiced stuffing and had been fried to perfection on the tawa (grill) to give that beautiful look with scattered spots of charring on the surface. The art of the paratha is in the chefs ability to keep the layers of flour holding the stuffing to the absolute thinnest possible allowing the ghee to penetrate inside and cook the stuffing. It was perfect! ...brought back memories of my mother's cooking at home with each bite providing a mouthful of indulgence that was enhanced with the butter, pickle, and the rich and creamy cumin and fenugreek flavored raita. The lightly sweetened masala chai was the perfect companion to the meal as I slurped it between bites. The menu has several other options including their signature naan rolls, combination boxes, and some fusion dishes as well as mango lassi...all of which I intend to go back and try, i.e. if I can hold myself back from re-ordering the parathas again! Highly recommended!!! read more

I enjoyed it. I've been a few times already. I love the dal and the Chana masala. Being vegetarian it's a good option at the mall. The staff are really friendly. The seating is limited but that's more of the malls fault, BUT you can always go upstairs for more seats if the others are full. read more

We didn't have the food, but grabbed a mango Lassi to shop with! Didn't like the lassi- it was thick and tasted just alright. Couldn't finish it. read more

The free chicken biryani samples were delicious. I had already ordered a chicken tikka curry before I saw the samples. The curry was oilier than I am used to from other Indian restaurants, but the service was friendly and the samples were good so I plan to go back to try something else... maybe the butter chicken. This place is tucked away on the second floor near shilla bakery. read more

If you want to take out Indian food at a good price chicken over rice is probably the best combo for the best buck taste really good. The chicken has always cooked separate separately so it always tastes very tender and juicy little bit on the less spicy side so it's good for the non-authentic Indian people to enjoy And you can always request more pics if you like but overall great for takeout not much for dining in and the service is great read more

It is a small, cozy place near the Shilla bakery at the Tysons Corner Mall. I loved their Masala Dosa. My wife had a sandwich, and she enjoyed it as well. Their service was excellent! read more

Well seasoned traditional Indian food, to grab and go and it's connected to a great restaurant. There's a young guy named Aman who's always pleasant and professional to everyone and kind to everyone, at the takeout booth. If only all places in this mall were as civil and pleasant. read more

A new restaurant with a new spin on Indian cuisine. Fast food Indian food but with high quality ingredients and service. The samosa are one of my favorites and the Kati rolls (veg and non veg) are to die for. I can't wait to go again and recommend to all friends/family. Great location and very friendly staff! read more

Kadhi pakora was floating in oil and super thin/watery/oily. Made cheaply and unhealthy when kadhi is supposed to be very healthy.

Absolutely disgusting food with no taste at all. The person serving us didn't even finish our order and started serving the person behind us. They really need to learn some manners. read more

First off, I'm impressed! Hidden at the end of a random hallway in Tyson's Corner, this place is difficult to just stumble upon. It's just down from Auntie Annie's. Anyway, I've never before eaten at an Indian place that served cuisine from all over India (hint for those who are unaware, it's all very different!). Everyone likes Biryani, so of course they have it. Chicken curry is a staple, and they have that too. Also various Dosas, Paneer dishes, Samosa, and a lot more. We got a Chicken Naan roll (a sort of butter chicken sandwich rolled into naan) - tasted exactly as expected. The plain dosa was giant, just like in India, and served with a generous amount of traditional Sambar and Coconut chutney. Next, the Chole/Bature - the Pooris were giant as well, fresh out of the fryer and delicious; and while the chana was not seasoned well enough, the portion size was great. Finally my favorite, the Pani Puri (6 to assemble and dip yourself)... was excellent and flavorful! All 4 dishes for under $50. This place has a little something for everyone and even a little sitting area right in front that stayed rotating guests. Will 100% return! read more
