Delicious food and great service in this unpretentious strip mall restaurant. I recommend the vegetarian korma with cilantro naan.

Yummy lamb chops. Not expensive. 4 for $23.00. Served with Basmati rice. Top of the taste Garlic Nan. Great service Eating early - lots of space. read more

The food is delicious! I like to order their lunch plate. They have lots of vegetarian options.

Went for lunch, got a sampler of various dishes. The naan was really great and I really liked everything I tried. Would love to go back for their weekend buffet to really try everything! read more

Preet Palace - Lunch special, non-vegetarian option - Indian Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Lunch buffet review ($15.99): This was exactly what I thought an Indian buffet would be like lol in a good way Decent selection of entrees (butter chicken, lamb curry, paneer, tandoori chicken, chutneys) and sides (samosas, fresh vegetables, salad). Everything tasted good and we noticed that the buffet was constantly being replenished. For this price point, this was solid Indian food. read more

Excellent place!! Preet Palace made my taste buds feel like royalty! The food was absolutely spectacular omg I am like constantlyyyyy craving it. Our service was amazing, we felt like family in there. This place is a HIDDEN GEM read more

Called for Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Naan. They' charged me 32$ for that. Staff is not trained and they assumed that it was for pick up. After 1 hour, we called to check the status. We were told that they didn't know it was for delivery and now they will send someone. We got our food which was cold and they asked cash to pay for it. The driver was not carrying any change and we ended up paying more because of that. Chicken Tikka had potatoes in it and we ended up paying 40$ for that. read more

Some friends and I decided to stop by and have some Indian cuisine while we were attending a convention in Chantilly. This particular restaurant came highly recommended by a staff member at the hotel we were staying. Pros: we were seated fast. It was early after noon on a Friday and it was relatively empty. The server was prompt and the food was tasty. I had curry chicken. They bring rice for the whole table to share and the pita bread was soft and enough for everyone. Con: the server seemed annoyed with one of the ladies at our table when she asked questions and when she showed him a yelp coupon for 10 percent off 25 dollars. He snatched the credit slip from one of the ladies at our table and was very short with us a few times. The prices are reasonable ranging from teens to low 20's per dish. The restaurant looks pretty outdated but perhaps the focus is more on food quality than decor. I'm not sure but a few places we visited had unfriendly staff in Chantilly. I'm not sure if just the way it is or if it was our race or my imagination. I definitely don't think it was the latter. read more

You might miss it because it's tucked further in the back of the strip mall but it is worth a quick bite. I was craving some Northern Indian food after a 13 hr shift, so I decided to try it out. The service is great, I can't complain about it at all! As much as I wanted to rate this spot well, the food was mediocre. I've had a lot of Northern Indian food vs southern and this was just not it for me. The tikka masala consistency was watery and did not taste tikka masala, it seemed americanized. The chole was lacking flavor, had the right texture and plenty of chick peas but they were hard and barely had flavor. I had to add salt and spices to make it chole. Was good but wasn't the best read more

I ordered online and the prices on their website were different from those that they actually charged me - I was charged more. Also, the food was very average. The Lachcha paratha from $5 appeared to be cooked just like a regular roti. Quite disappointing. read more

It's hard to find if you've never been there, the signage isn't obvious. It's to the right of Fast Eddie's, down a little "alley". We were one of 3 groups there, very quiet restaurant, especially for a Friday night. I got the non-veggie thali (spice level: spicy) and my husband got the Rogan Josh (lamb dish, spice level: medium). Everything in my thali was spicy! I like spicy and it was almost unbearable. My husband's dish was even spicy for medium. Good flavor, meat was tender. The portions seemed a bit small. Thali consisted of: one chicken, one lamb, one lentil, yogurt sauce, one Samoa, naan, crispy bread thing, and rice pudding read more

So to start out, I love Indian food. I have eaten at tons of Indian restaurants and lived in Sri Lanka where the food is somewhat similar. I love spicy food -- not white person spicy -- but legit spicy not the "I have something to prove" spicy. My first time at Preet Palace I went to the buffet like 5-6 years ago. Very not impressed so I never went back. I saw all these good reviews and thought maybe I hit an off day. Took my parents on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. We sat outside and were the only ones there. One guy was working. I ordered the veggie thali because I can never commit to just one curry, my dad got the non veggie thali -- same reason. My mom who is not really a fan of Indian food but is always game to try got the chicken boti kabob. My dad and I ordered spicy. Everything was very flavorful not spicy just zingy. Kind of a bummer, but flavor made up for it. My mom loved her kabobs. Chicken was tender and juicy and perfectly seasoned. Garlic naan was good as well. The one guy gave us better service than other places I have been which were filled with servers. Other than low spice level a good experience. I will be returning to try more curries. read more

Seems like Indian buffets are in short supply after COVID. Came across this one because my coworker has not had much Indian food and wanted options. Buffet was ~$17 pp. The food was fairly good for a buffet but the options were limited. A few trays were closed, which limited the options even more. The place was not too busy, so not sure why it took time to refill the buffet for some items. However, it did seem like there were only three staff working for a Friday lunch hour. The value is there but you would be just as good with an order restaurant, given the limited food options in the buffet. Server was polite and the restaurant looked clean. read more

I have eaten twice here and have to say the food is fantastic. Had shahi paneer and malai kofta, so flavorful and perfectly made. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the dishes are $18 but the quantity isn't. For that price it should be generous portion of gravy. This is Downton price and should be reflected in the quantity. read more

the butter chicken was moist and so yummy! it went fantastic with the garlic naan. i also love how nice the seating area is, it can be a casual or fancy meet. the waiter was also very attentive and friendly! read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews, I was very impressed. My party got the veggie and non-veggie samplers, and both were incredible. The chicken and paneer dishes, in particular, were some of the best I've had after years of eating at Indian places all across the country. Service was friendly but not fawning, and our drinks never ran dry. This is a wonderful hidden gem! read more

I must have caught them on a bad evening because they were taking a while but did not give updates on when our takeaway would be ready. I have had better curry and in the rush I even found a small bone! Hoping for better should I give another chance read more

I went for lunch with a friend and was thrilled by how amazing the food was. We started with samosas, which were perfectly fried with incredibly flavored filling. The lunch special was $13 and included three dishes, rice, and naan. Service was great, the food came out quickly, and it was all delicious. I will be coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

Best Indian in all of Northern VA! Every dish is prepared to perfection & their "heat" levels are accurate.

We ordered lamb vindaloo & butter chicken and they are good. Their service was great. When we told them it was our first time trying their food they gave us free Naan. read more

Since my last review from a year ago I've had the opportunity to sample lots of Indian / Pakistani / Afghanistani restaurants. That also means I haven't had the chance to come back here until now. My previous review was for the buffet, but this update was regarding the carry-out lunch platter for around $6.99 (with it you get rice, 1 veggie, 1 meat dish) from the buffet. Your typical clamshell styrofoam take-out containter is used which means one large section of rice and 2 small sections for your veggie and meat. Perhaps the abundance of good Indian buffets has spoiled me but those curry portions looked really underwhelming, so I was somewhat disappointed, although they still tasted pretty good. On the bright side, it was my first time my parents tried Indian food, and we were afraid they were going to hate it, but surprisingly my dad LIKED it. read more

Preet Palace is a wonderful little Indian restaurant - tucked away in the corner of a shopping center in Centreville, VA. The location makes it hard to know the place even exists - but it is a culinary treasure indeed! If you need your dose of luscious Indian cuisine - you've come to the right place. Upon entering, your olfactory senses are immediately greeted by the succulent smells of curry and other Indian spices. I've only eaten in the restaurant once - but I've ordered take out many times. My favorites from their menu include the Salmon Curry, Chicken Curry, Lamb Curry, the Tandori Salmon, and the Murg Tikka Tandoori. All the entrees are served with a fragrant Saffron Basmati rice. For appetizers - try out the Assorted Appetizer for Two - Chicken Tikka, vegetable Pakora, Samosa and Seekh Kabob. Delicious! I'd also recommend ordering some Indian Tandoori bread with a side of the Raita - a refreshing yogurt and cucumber sauce. When you order, you have the option of having them make your dish "Indian hot," that is to say - crank up the level of spiciness to the maximum level. Unless you enjoy spicy dishes and curry, I'd recommend against doing this. I order my food at the maximum spice level each time, and I usually work up a good sweat while eating my meal! Very enjoyable! My only bad experience has been the one time I tried the Goat Curry. The curry sauce itself was aromatic and delicious - but the goat meat was loaded with fat, gristle, ligaments, and small bones. Check them out: http://www.preetpalace.com read more

The service at Preet Palace is horrible if you're picking up an order. They consistently put little to no effort on getting your order to you in a timely manner. Although their food is good, I will never order from Preet Palace again as a result of their terrible service. read more

Preet used to be the only Indian restaurant in Centreville. Then it got some strong competition but none of them stay in business. Preet survives because it is good. The buffet always has a nice selection of chicken, beef, and vegetarian dishes. All are nicely prepared and not too spicy. Their butter chicken, curry eggs, and matar paneer are great. For desserts, you can't beat their jalebi, kheer, and gulab jamun. read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! WORST INDIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD! I've been forced to go here every year by random uncles and aunties since I moved to the NOVA area and every year it continues to disappoint me more and more. Every time I eat their food they prepare me some watered down gravy, flavorless sabzji's, disgusting naan, terrible customer service. Every year it continues to get worse and worse! wish i could give them 0 stars. read more

I'm here today 2/20/22 for the weekend lunch buffet. Food, cleaningness, staff, all still consistently five strong stars. Come eat with me. All very deliciously well prepare. read more

The food here is great for entrées! I learned that the second go-around with this place. My first experience was not so great, no one greeted us, lack of communication, wait time, and it was empty. I took my family and friends earlier close to opening and it was buffet only however, no one was there so I get they had to get rid of buffet food... I had not gone back there since. A coworker suggested a couple of meals and so I gave them another shot. So far so good!Their spicy is really spicy and tolerable for my pallet. I ordered the appetizer platter tonight-I like the extra onions it comes with, I use the extra onions to eat with the other meals I ordered. Palak paneer- which could have used a lot more paneer... I only got 3 pieces...... . The butter chicken chicken was good, but how can you go wrong with it? If you want fast, decent tasting Indian Preet's your man! Also although I didn't order the Kofta today, I will stand by my word it's the best! I thank my co-worker again for introducing me to this! read more

We just thoroughly enjoyed the lunch buffet and will definitely be returning! The tandoori chicken and butter chicken are so well seasoned and the buffet had plenty of other options available!! Each buffet comes with fresh made to order naan bread. We came near the end of the buffet but everything was still hot and tasted fresh! Found my new spot for Indian food! read more

Consistently great Indian food (since Covid we only do delivery, haven't been in the restaurant in a few years, but their delivery travels really well). Their kabobs are really flavorful as is the Vindaloo and the chickpea dishes are cooked perfectly. read more

If you check-in on Yelp, they offer 10% off with $25+ purchase. The lady would not honor 10% off stating its for dine-in because I ordered carry-out. Not really good service imo. I ordered non-spicy and they made it super spicy -.- lol overall food taste ok. read more

Preet Palace - It says 10% with $25+ and check-in. Lady wouldn't honor stating its for dine-in. Not good service. - Indian Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Consistent food but the gravies all taste the same. We order delivery from here a lot. It's always tasty and fast.

The reason for 4 stars is due to the service. Second time I've been here since covid. The firsy time, they forgot items on my order. When I returned, they gave me free dessert. This time, went for pick up and it took double the amount to get our order. The food is delicious and the quantity is great. The service is just lacking a bit. read more

I have been going to Preet's Palace for a while now and it's a gem. It's tucked away beside the Trader Joe's on 29. I usually go for a quiet lunch or dinner. The staff is attentive but not overly friendly. The food is really good. They were very considerate of my dietary and let me know what had yogurt and dairy and what didn't. I got the samosas and Baigan Bharta, which is this eggplant dish and they made it super spicy just like I like it. They also made the naan without ghee per request. They have a huge vegetarian/vegan section read more

While in the Centreville area around dinner time I decided to stop in for some Indian food. Upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the inside of the restaurant looked and upon being sat, I saw Pakora on the menu and asked the lady who sat me for an order of Veggie Pakora and she walked away... A couple of minutes later an older guy wearing a "Levi" hat with a flat brim walked up and asked if I was ready to order. I said not yet, but I did want the veggie pakora and he walked away. Upon checking out the menu, they have the typical, large selection of curries and kabobs, as well as having a Tandoor oven, so they have naan and various other breads. I opted for a Seekh kabob and when he returned I asked him for that. He asked if I wanted chicken or lamb and when I tried to ask how may come, he didn't understand me, so I selected chicken to avoid further confusion. Meanwhile, the pakora arrived and it was very bland. The batter had no spice to is whatsoever and the veggies that were in it were of a consistency of which I couldn't describe. It was overly salty and very boring. The nice thing was that they brought a sauce tray with green mint chutney, which seems to be rare in most restaurants these days as most want to serve or sell (at an extra price) riata instead. The chutney had no spice to it and hardly any flavor. The Seekh kabob came and it looked just like chicken sausage that was put through a sausage maker and piped out and put on the skewer and grilled. The flavor was decent, but it seemed to be missing much of hat you'd expect from a Seekh kabob. The naan that came with it was OK, but why do these restaurants put butter on the naan and why do they cut it into quarters? I grew up using naan and chapati as a utensil and it's meant to be pulled apart, not previously cut. Overall, this might impress most who are unfamiliar with good Pakistani/Indian/Punjabi food, but I wasn't impressed and definitely won't be back. read more

Authentic Indian food with wonderful strong curry and spices aromas when entered the restaurant. Many wonderful and very tasty dishes serving lunch buffet style every day. - Lamb, goat curry, tandoori, butter chickens - Samosa, eggs in curry, many others - Salad, a few sides, deserts - so on... Nice little place to satisfy your Indian craving and surely fill your tummy. It is also romantic enough to bring a date. Like many restaurants, I preferred tile floor instead of carpet. read more

Food was good, but 4 cans of diet coke all had 2016 expiration and were horribly flat and dang near fermented taste gross Would not reorder, kind of makes you wonder about the freshness of the food if no care is given to drinks read more

Delivery heaven. Okay look, I agree this place is kinda kooky in-person, but to be fair, in-person's really not their thing. They're really a delivery, catering, and event thing. With an attached dine-in experience. Which is okay. But really- this place makes CONSISTENT and GOOD Indian food. We order from them almost twice a week, and have for a long time. Is it THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN THE WORLD? Of course not. Grow up. But for the price, and for the convenience, it's a great Tuesday night option. Sit back, rent a movie, and order out. You've earned it. read more
