    The unassuming exterior hides the quality family restaurant beyond. I've enjoyed the food in store, to go and catering and it's all good. The kabobs are a solid choice but my most favorite items are the butter chicken and chickpea curry. There is nothing in this area that compares to the texture and flavor of these two dishes. I find it impressive that a small restaurant can create these complex flavors very consistently. Rawal is a must try! Quick note: dishes seem to be made to order as there will be a 20-25 minute wait for your order when dining in.

    We love it every time it just doesn't have the following it should. #1 plate with chicken and beef is my go to!

    Great Pakistani/Indian cuisine! #1 is our go to with chicken, been, chickpeas, rice and naan. Can't go wrong just doesn't have the following!

    Chicken, palak paneer, garlic Naan
    Lora K.

    The chicken was very well done, moist and full of flavor. I loved the garlic Naan, so soft and delicious. I didn't like the Palak paneer so much. It was one of the oiliest (or I guess buttered) curry I've ever had. I mean pools of oil in the curry. I have to watch how much oil I consume due to acid reflux so was a bit disappointed to see how much oil or butter was used. In my opinion, it just is uncessary and ruins the dish. I took it home and tried to see if I could let the oil cool and separate, but the whole thing just solidified, oil too since I think there was that much butter. I could tell it was butter as you could really taste the sweet buttery flavor. Anyway, would never order that again and if I were to come back I'd ask for their least oily curry on the menu. I think they're more known for their meat anyway.

    Chicken biryani, Lamb Tikka Masala and veggie samosas were excellent.  Food portions are very generous and came out piping hot!

    Mehak Indian Restaurant - Butter Chicken (comes with rice)

    Mehak Indian Restaurant

    (234 reviews)

    $$

    We've been looking for a good Indian restaurant close to Centreville but everything we've seen so…read morefar had mixed reviews. Mehak had a couple of mixed reviews too, but mainly about takeout orders. In my opinion, you can't really rate a restaurant fairly with takeouts. That being said, we went ahead and tried Mehak and we're so glad we did. The gobi manchurian was not on the menu for some reason, but definitely ask for it! It's really good - very crispy, very flavorful, and not too spicy. The mango lassi was one of the best we've ever had. It was creamy and not tart at all. It was very refreshing. We were debating between the Kadai Goat and the Goat Rogan Josh. We decided on the Rogan Josh but I don't think I could've gone wrong either way. It was really tender and very tasty. We also got the the Paneer Mekhani and it was also delicious. The Garlic Naan was very fresh and perfect for cleaning up your plate of the delicious sauces. The owner and the staff were very nice and they kept checking on us to make sure everything was ok. They did give us bottled water but I felt a little bad for asking for another one. I'm pretty sure they would've given me another if I asked. That was just me. Overall, I highly recommenr Mehak Indian Restaurant if you simply want humble and delicious Indian Food. 5

    Such an amazing experience here. Food was fresh and tasted great!…read more We tried kadhai chicken, malai kofta, butter paneer masala, garlic naan, tandoori naan. Naan were exactly how like them, fresh baked, thin and not thick. Usually most place make malai kofta sweet which overpowers other flavors and the kofta itself, at Mehak it was perfect just right amount of sweetness and spice in the gravy. I would highly recommend this place if you visiting or local.

    Unfortunately I was truly excited to try this place and was severely disappointed by the service…read moreand time it took to make the food. Not only did it take ten minutes to be greeted. After I ordered I was told it would take ten minutes, a reasonable amount of time. I come back in 15 the food is not ready, I ask about it and get told it will be out shortly. I had to wait another 15 minutes. My order was incorrect I ordered butter chicken (which was pretty good) with rice, and an additional side of garlic naan. My butter chicken only came out with garlic naan. After going back inside and inquiring about it I was told it would take five minutes. Sad to say it took longer.

    H1B has a great location with plenty of parking and a good atmosphere…read more It's a simple Indian restaurant with counter ordering and has a nice simple seating area with big windows. Today I stopped by for lunch, just walking by, and ordered their mild G.O.A.T Dum Biryani and Mango Lassi. Kiran the cashier was nice and polite, very knowledgeable and answered all my requests very well. The food came out quickly and hot. I think the mango lassi was a bit small for it's price but tasted homemade. The goat was extremely spicy for me, even after I was asked how spicy I would like it, and I replied very mild, not spicy. It's was difficult to eat it without a lot of extra toppings and sauces to make it more mild, but then my rice turned into soup. I think that if you normally like the spices that made with Indian food you'll agree with the other reviewers here that it's a nice place to eat. For me it too hot and spicy! As a bonus they offered me to try their desert: Mango Rabadi and a small sample of their chicken kabob. The Mango Rabadi was very good, a pleasant sweetened dessert, but the chicken kabob was also super spicy for me but full of flavor! If you like Indian food it sounds like this is the place to go, but for me it's way too spicy! The owner and the cashier were very nice and friendly. I hope they fulfill the area's Indian food option as best they can in the years to come.

    We visited this restaurant when it was Athidhi before covid, when they had the lunch buffet. We…read morestopped by once in 2021, but left because it was empty and they no longer had the lunch buffet. We made the mistake of coming here (on a weekday evening) and left wondering, "How is this place still open???". There weren't any other customers, which should have been the first sign to leave. Zero decor, second sign to leave. The menu looked like it was typed up by a high schooler, no description and was partially hand written, final sign to leave. Unfortunately, being that we had high hopes (since their buffet used to be good), we stayed and ordered a chicken vindaloo and mutter paneer with naan. The naan was like rubber, not sure if it was heated in the microwave or old. The chicken vindaloo looked/tasted like regular chicken curry and had bones, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I have ordered chicken vindaloo from many other India restaurants and they always had boneless chicken and actually tasted like vindaloo. The server wasn't helpful in any way and didn't seem to know much about the food. We barley touched the food, paid and just left the rest of the food on the table.

    The food was amazing, the ambience was crap. It is a bare empty restaurant with no art, no music,…read moreweird layout. It looked like they were in the middle of a renovation and quickly put up some tables so they could feed people. I wasn't even sure how to ask for a table when we walked in, there was no visible staff. Picked this place because it had good ratings on Yelp, so not sure what they normally look like and if this is a representation of what they're really like. You could tell this place was authentic because there were three other tables and they were all Indian. We got: Masala Mirchi Bhajji - battered and fried chili pepper stuffed with onion. Tarka Dal - yellow lentils Chicken Tikka masala - chicken in a thick creamy sauce The flavors are great, we didn't specify our heat level and we got medium and it was really spicy. I love spicy and can handle spicy, but it was almost too much for me. One food downside, they didn't provide much rice with the dish. The menu is exactly what you see on the website, small print, no pictures. So you have to know what you're looking for or ask a lot of questions. Though I found out if you use Yelp to order takeout, each menu item does include a picture. Very reasonably priced, rare these days.
