We went back after a year and noticed a marked improvement in service. But having said that, at least with the items that we ordered today, which is the Aloo Gobhi and Chana masala - both were cooked in a weird way, and were overly sour, the veg biryani was not too bad and tandoori platter as a starter was decent as well. read more

They have the most tender chicken breast here. I also love their soup options and customer service. The waiters were super attentive, and offered several samples. I would say this is the best sit-down restaurant in NOVA I've tried. read more

The food was good but service was non-existent. Had to constantly get the waiters attention to put the order in, get the check etc. The saffron chicken, pani puri, tandoori mix grill (appetizer), malai kofta, mango lassi were very good. The mango mojito and goat biryani was okay. The ambiance is good. Don't know if I will go back based on service. read more

PIND was okay. The portion sizes were great and they gave us daal when we entered which was nice especially on a cold rainy day. There was ample indoor seating and were quickly accommodated even though we walked in without a reservation. However the food itself wasn't that great. I felt that there wasn't that much flavor or spice that makes Indian food so unique. read more

I got the saag and it was so good! Rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned -- definitely one of the best I've had. I'll be back to try more dishes! read more

Called in an order to go...had to wait 22 min unacceptable and then the order was wrong. No one was in there I can see why. Will never go back. read more

From the moment we entered the restaurant. A host was ready to greet us and take us to our table. There were many places to sit from booths to individual tables. When we asked the waiter what he would recommend, we were given a variety of choices and we definitely believe we chose well. The goat dish and the butter chicken were very tasty and the complimentary naan was delicious as well. Their drinks were a bit sweeter than imagined but overall very tasty. Would definitely come back again to try a new dish. read more

This was my first time here because most of the times I'm walking by. I forget the hours and don't get to make it. Overall, I think the food is pretty tasty and different from what you get at other restaurants. The restaurant itself is fairly clean and the staff is friendly. read more

More like a 3.5. First time eating there. Overall, we had a very nice dinner. Service was attentive - at times, though, too fast! I was literally still eating my appetizer (samosa) and he asked to clear my plate. I got the chicken vin d alho. The sauce and heat were perfect. I was thrown off by white meat chicken chunks that seemed to be added at the last minute, not stewed into it. Usually it is dark meat. My friend got the lamb rogan josh. This dish was really good. The garlic naan was good. We were given the check before being asked if we wanted dessert. My friend already knew she wanted the mango kofta, so she asked for the menu again. I got the mango mousse cake. I'm glad we did! Both were really tasty. I would eat there again but it may not be my first choice to get Indian food because it was higher priced than other Indian restaurants that I go to. read more

I hate to compare this experience from that I had with Rupa Vira but to provide some context, I had to... Firstly, on 3/29/2023, I checked yelp and this place had mixed reviews so though it gave me pause, I err on the side of those giving this place the greater of the stars. I'd like to form my own opinion based off my own experience so here goes... Here, the staff was synchronized-working in teams. It was evident when I first walked in and was greeted and ushered to booth table for 2 while I wait for hubby who was meeting me for lunch during his break from work closeby. The Staff here was commendable. They were attentive and patiently responded to our questions about the menu and generously gave us " compliment[ary] by the chef" items including a gulam to conclude our meal was tasty! Pind has lunch options which came with soup or salad, naan and biryani plus complimentary side dishes (chickpea veg style). We ordered Goat type dish, Butter Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. Each dish was delicious especially when wrapping them in that very light and tasty Naan. And I want to point out, they were brought in just perfectly timed. We were attended and waited on as well as can be possibly done! So kodus! Although, I alluded to having the most delicious food at that other Indian restaurant just 3 weeks ago, service there was so bad that left a bad taste to my mouth. So I wanted to check Pind out how they fare in comparison-- Au contraire, this place made our lunch such a pleasant experience that's worth returning to. And the unpretentious food tasted good as well! I can taste the different spices in every dish. I ordered mild heat, it was pretty mild so perhaps next visit I would opt for medium heat instead. And the Naan was very good like " bread of Jesus "good, as my hubby uttered! Having lunch menu also a great plus!!! Place was unpretentious, spacious with exposed vents as part of the minimalistic & modern charm, simple yet clean & inviting! Most important is the overall experience which only a great service exhibited by the staff here can compel me to come back. Thus, a perfect algebraic solid 4 on all the three categories: food, service & ambience! Keep up the good work! So happy to have Pind as part of One Loudoun set of burb's restaurants! Thank you! I miss Aggio still! read more

Great food. Really enjoyed the tandoori chicken, and the flavor profile was one of the best we have had in the northern Virginia area. We also tried the naan, chicken tikka masala, mango lassi, and chili paneer which were all absolutely delicious. The server was very friendly and they were very accommodating for our one year old. Lots of indoor seating and very clean. Great restaurant. read more

Not bad. Nice interior / location. Decent selection Problem is the spice - there is none. I always ask for "Indian hot" but it always arrives "American medium." If you like spicy - go elsewhere - this place simply doesn't do "hot." read more

I'm giving a review on door dash delivery orders, I've never been inside restaurant. Tried this place on a whim, never had Indian food but knew I liked the spices involved. Holy moly, it was delicious, have ordered chicken dishes with rice and naan so my review is limited. But wow, it's delicious every time. Highly recommend read more

Pros: - Good and quick service - food is very good - we got the little customised food as well as drink options. Guy was very understanding and gave run time flavor options for mocktails for mojitot. Also, we saw a pic of chicken tikka masala and asked if this can be made with paneer and instantly agreed even though it wasent on the menu. Cons: - denied for child high chair even though i saw empty ones available. Overall pretty good food and experience. Place itself is nice to walk after dinner or even sit together with a group in near by garden. read more

Would have been 5 stars if it weren't for the staff judging us on several things throughout our meal. I'm sure they didn't mean to but make sure you eat the rice that goes with dishes and finish your plate! Would not recommend the ricotta dessert, however the vegetable Korma was the best I have ever had and the samosas were also maybe the best. read more

Good portion size and taste. Recommend the aloo gobi and chicken tikka masala. Warning: the garlic naan has a LOT of garlic.

After ten years later in the area we decided to stop by at Pind and here is my short narrative. I order Tito's and club and they did not had Tito's so they charged us for premium TOP SHELVE liqour. Order the Amritsari fish which was just a fired fish in batter with no indian spices on it. Lamb chops were just boiled barely grilled and horrible. Over service was horrible and hard to tell you how we felt paying $75 for nothing. We went in as we would have done some other place anyway. Well nor it tells why I never came here and this was my last visit. read more

If you are looking for Indian food in the DMV, this is the place to go. I'm never a fan of Indian food outside of my own house but this had me genuinely surprised. Ambiance: 4/5 - Decent space and normal decor, nothing that blew me away. Price: 5/5 - for the portion sizes their prices are justified. I wish I had taken a picture because the bowl of biryani was bigger than my head. I was amazed! Food: 5/5 - the biryani and lamb chops were AMAZING! I couldn't stop eating them and I would've ordered 2 orders if I wasn't so full. The spice level is amazing and they are receptive to what you ask for. The Punjabi in me felt right at home. Service: 5/5 - the waiter was filling my water before I even finished it half way! They were so attentive and I appreciate that. read more

Extremely average food for the location , wait and price . . I would call it out - this has been the worst Indian food I have eaten in ashburn . I ordered - Panner khadhai and dal makhani - no taste , only oil floating around . So not healthy for sure with the amount of oil poured into the dish - but the worst part is the taste was super awful. I would never ever dine in or take away from this place . Look for saffron or Banjara read more

I've never bothered to make Yelp reviews, but Pind deserves it. Pind has been my favorite go-to Indian restaurant for years. I stopped in for a nice lunch during the holidays. The lunch special includes main course, salad/soup, chef's special side, naan, and dessert. I got my favorite: Shahi Paneer. The staff is always friendly, food tastes great, and presentation is polished. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite Indian restaurant in the Ashburn area. The chicken tikka, sometimes chicken korma, and chicken saag are my go to dishes. I've found the wait staff very attentive and food is consistently good. It's a nice vibe restaurant. read more

Service was excellent. Prices were fair. The house wine, at $9 per glass was certainly not cheap, but the pour was generous. Butter Chicken was EXTRAORDINARY. Beats the old 1947, and the old Tamarind I.C. by a wide margin. But the Lamb Vindaloo was not very spicy- even though I stressed that I wanted it VERY HOT Indian-Spicy. The Chicken 65 was disappointing. Bland. And a lot less red than I am used to. Seemed like the chicken had been sitting in the bland sauce too long, rather than a last-minute add-in. So it was not crispy, but sorta On balance, while the decor is uninspired, we will be back. Cloth napkins, but no table cloths. Service very prompt, but not obtrusive in the slightest. \We'll be back. read more

COVID-19 review. Went here for lunch. Sat outside. Construction noise was bad outside but felt very safe. Lunch specials were very good. Great value. Great naan. Good salad. Surprise moose at end. Service was very attentive. I will be back. The rest of my party was very impressed and agreed with me on this review. read more

$19 for each of the dishes we ordered would be understandable if it had flavor. I've had way better versions of both dishes elsewhere. This is very average and nothing special. The chicken tikka masala flavor was dull. The tandoori chicken tasted like plain chicken. Very disappointed. I rarely try new Indian restaurants because I go to Winchester to eat Indian food where it's amazing. I thought this would be my number one but I'll stick to the longer drive. Wont be coming back. read more

My gosh, you're gonna love all the food here! My best friend had been raving about this place's lunch buffet, so I decided to go up to treat him for his birthday. It's in one of those big brand-new planned town square type areas anchored by a movie theater (Alamo) and flanked by giant bright (free cuz hey, it's the suburbs) parking garages. The interior isn't glitzy and glamorous (most walls are bare and there's a wall of windows that look out to a giant bright parking garage entrance), but it doesn't need to be. The service was slower than expected, but it was a Friday night and short-staffed everywhere is now the norm. The food was spectacular! Medium heat was just right on the malai kofta and the chicken tikka masala. Both were generous portions for an adult. The garlic naan was absolutely superb---crispy where it needed to be, garlickly here-there-and-everywhere, and served hot and sliced into manageable triangles. The appetizer sampler is a must for newbies who want to try an array of apps (my favorite was the fried paneer). The mango lassi (which I don't like to order cuz I can make it so easily at home) was absolutely amazing--sweet and salty in just the right balance. A great big portion and definitely worth getting two. There's a 10% off dine-in Yelp coupon that we were told applies only to orders within the Yelp app although the coupon says "dine-in" but oh well. Definitely will return for their lunch buffet, perhaps on a weekend! read more

Hidden gem. Back corner in One Loudoun. Oh so very good food, and a modern and beautiful dining room.

I tried almost 50+ Indian restaurants all over US, I am sad to say this is the worse food I had ever. Let me start by saying that I am giving 1 star due to a guy from Honduras who attended our table, he was simply great and he is the reason we ended up spending our 30 min or so in the restaurant. Thanks to him! We ordered malai kofta, saag paneer, garlic naan, naan. We ordered malai kofta mild and saag medium. We picked both as the name Pind ( Village in Punjabi, where saag is simmered in earthen pot almost whole day in butter to get creamy texture and flavor, ginger is offcouse might be a part of it) suggests they must be at least specialized in making saag. Saag was salty and had a extreme of ginger. Tested if I was eating a medicine. The texture and flavor were completely off! None of us can eat much of it. We thought malai kofta might compensate if sometimes an entree doesn't get the touch it needs. Sorry to say, it was plain cream, I can test uncooked cream.......with off yellow color. Naan were acceptable, seemed to be baked in oven, which was good and only hope that at least something was worth of bucks. It might be one off experience but as we are visiting from outside, I can't say that for sure. The one of the two servers was not very welcoming and seemed tired, which I understand. Restaurant was mostly empty. Ambience was good. Will not try again. Sorry...doesn't worth the visit. read more

I've been to Pind many times over the last several years and the food is always very good. However, the service is absolutely the worst!! Every. Single. Time. The staff is friendly and it seems like they are doing their best, but it's like they simply do not understand what service is all about. There is zero ambiance, but in the past the food has made up for the poor acoustics and lack of atmosphere. We went to Pind to celebrate my husband's birthday and brought our 3 kids (ages 16, 21, 24). We have never been able to convince them to try Indian food but they agreed to try it since it was their dad's birthday, and Pind is where he wanted to go. It was Friday night at 7:30pm and restaurant was not busy. We planned ahead and made a reservation but their was no need. Just trying to place our drink order was a huge undertaking as we could not get a waiter to come back to the table once we were seated. Then we waited forever for the drinks to arrive. We waited at least 30 minutes for someone to finally take our dinner order (we actually wanted appetizers, as well, but gave up). When we were finally able to place our dinner order, we requested two orders of naan (the extra order based on our fear of the waiter not returning for a very long time) and a bowl of the daily soup for my husband. The naan arrived when we were half-way through dinner but the soup never did come. The food was good and we all enjoyed our meals. However, my 24 yr old son came town with a severe case of food poisoning within 3 hours of leaving the restaurant (he ordered the Crab Curry so I DO NOT recommend). He was violently I'll for 12+ hours. Sadly, this will be our last visit to Pind. Life is too short for bad service and the risk of food poisoning. read more

Got goat curry and tandoori platter. Both were not good at all. Naan was okay. Kingfisher beer was good. Apart from the not so good food, the service was the worst. Nobody turned around to check although the restaurant had only 3-4 customers at that time and there were 5 people in the counter. I had to walk to the counter to get attention. read more

Pind is the best Indian restaurant that I've been to in Northern Virginia! I have only been for the lunch buffet, and I enjoyed it very much! It was a great deal at 12.95! They have such a wide assortment of dishes that aren't typically found at other Indian buffets. When I was there, they had cauliflower in a tomato cream sauce, green curry, stir fried okra, shrimp biryani, tandoori chicken, fish curry, paneer, goat curry, and so much more! This is perfect for vegetarians, pescatarians, and anyone who loves food! Everything was very flavorful and didn't have a super greasy taste, that I sometimes find at other Indian restaurants. My only complaint is that the food was a little salty, so it'd be nice if they cut back on salt. Customers can always add more :) Good service and great food! Highly recommend you stop here! read more

We used to dine here a lot up until we changed our diet a couple of years ago, but we decided to come back. Glad we did: the place still has a clean modern look- high ceiling, nice light fixtures and a tile floor. Smells great when you walk in, none of the fried aroma some have. Came on a very busy Friday evening, a bit too noisy for our taste, but it didn't affect the attentive service. Started with vegetable Samosas. They were perfectly freshly fried, dry to the touch, crispy with spicy filling. The best part was the bed of two sauces they sat on. One was savory spicy, the other was sweet Tamarind based. For entrees we picked the Lamb Vin D Alho and Goat curry. The lamb was tender and the sauce was spicy and flavorful. We started with it, and by the time we finished we were full, that attests to the generous portion size. Before we asked to pack the goat entree we tasted it. Now instead of it "tasting like chicken ", it actually tasted like beef - but a very tender one, brisket like. Instead of overeating we opted for a dessert. And was it delicious: we tried the Vermicelli with rose syrup over home made ice cream. Very special, never saw it anywhere before. The price is very reasonable: $54 for such a great meal. We're glad we came back, and highly recommend trying this place! read more

Food was great when we dined in, but we had to chase someone down in the empty place to pay the check due to our table being neglected... There was only one other table of folks in the place. I guess the waiter is also cooking? So we figured we'd do pick-up instead of dine-in, from now on to save the chef from also having to serve. Pickup experience: Ordered at 5pm when they opened, but was told food wouldn't be ready til after 6pm. Food was cold upon pickup. Obviously sitting there for longer than 30 minutes. Place was still empty. Why couldn't they tell us to arrive sooner? The dish we ordered was prepared differently, just paneer and sauce with nothing else, very plain compared to the last time we ordered that same dish. Not sure what's going on, but we're going to have to remove Pine from our local eat-out list. Tldr; Food can be great, but quality is very inconsistent on both, the food and service. read more
