The restaurant is always stylishly prepared and ready for a crowd and the staff is always pleasant and welcoming. I like the food and the atmosphere of this easy-to-miss place nestled in off of Midlothian Tnpk near Huguenot Rd. Definitely worth a try if you've never had a Taste of India.

Hopefully they get a larger lunch crowd for their lunch buffet. Everything we had was fantastic and made for your specific spice tolerance level. We started with pakoras and fried cauliflower appetizers. Despite it being super spicy, the chili flavoring of the cauliflower came through. For my man, i got a mild lamb saag. The spinach sauce had a ton of flavor and was great when mixed with basmati rice, the lamb was very tender. My colleagues enjoyed their meal as well. I'd come back if im in the area again.

We parked across the street from Tulsi. There was ample parking in the lot, and street parking,…read moretoo, on a Wednesday around 8 pm. The decor here is fabulous. Tulsi feels extravagant and upscale from the moment you enter. The lighting was lovely, each of the different lamps exquisitely lining the walls provided a golden hue throughout the space. We were seated immediately with no reservations. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy, great for couples to catch up and talk about their days or get to know one another. Our server was attentive and polite. He gave us time to peruse the menu at our leisure, while he brought out the gratis before-the-meal appetizer. It was like a crispy naan with three distinctly different sauces. It really was quite delicious. I ordered the Chicken Konkani and my partner had the Chicken Curry. As connoisseurs of a great many Indian restaurants, we quite enjoyed the entrees at Tulsi. I savored the coconut creaminess of the Konkani. I also tried my partner's curry, and it had a rich aromatic flavor as well. We didn't try dessert because we were simply too stuffed by the end. The choices were almost tempting enough to persuade me, but we refrained. Tulsi is for lovers, just like Virginia, so we were in great company. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this spot a chance. We will definitely be back to partake in the fine dining experience on offer here.

Picked my sons up....they didn't wanna hang with me, even a little. SOOOO I went to dinner at Tulsi. BY MYSELF The place would be great for a date or a little romance. The ambiance was a lil sultry as the sun went down. The amount of food they give you is substantial. I had the lamb tandoori it came out sizzling like fajitas or the east(I'm sorry if that was racist) The naan was delish But the STAR was the lemon-drop martini I had. Bartender must have saw, me a solo diner that had been abandoned by her own younglings and felt for me because that thang was STRONG and I appreciated it. I was a little tipsy(I don't usually drink so it did not take a lot) it was cool because my big one will drive. At the end I had plenty of leftovers that my sons will get NONE of. It was enjoyable. Will recommend

Here were our hits and misses: Potli samosa: cute presentation, but ultimately just a samosa. Not a miss by any means but not something super innovative in the flavor department (in case you look at the menu expecting that) Lamb rada curry: def a hit! Lots of lamb, lots of flavor. Do ask for mild if you can't tolerate heat Iike my husband and go for a side of raita also. Kadhai paneer:medium is perfect, these guys do spicy FOR South Asians which, as South Asians, my husband and I appreciate but it's worth keeping in mind for those not used to "desi spicy". Plenty of paneer which I appreciated and it was soft not rubbery. Hit! Lost in lychee: such a pretty drink! I like the rose ice in the middle but it does dilute the drink a bit. Still very floral, very pretty, very light hit! Bombay smash: spicy, smoky from the cumin, and exactly what hubby likes in a cocktail. Hit! We arrived on a pretty quiet Sunday evening and had zero complaints about the service. A worthy spot if you are craving Indian food in Richmond!

It is a fairly upscale place, and while I had some skepticism of the need for another Indian restaurant in this neighborhood, this one was excellent. Offering a modern and largely North Indian menu, it had an interesting range of choices. The salad I started with had some herbed goat cheese balls and an excellent crispness to the greens, and my chai was full of flavor. I challenged them to deliver the maximum spice level on the entree I tried, a spinach and potato dish I hadn't seen before. It was quite venomous, to the point where I felt the lining of my stomach had probably had enough punishment for the weekend so I took half of it to go. The average diner will probably not be well served by the Indian hot, but at a lower spice level will find a delightful mix of tastes. Adding a bread filled with pureed mushroom was a good way to add a milder flavor. I would be happy to come back.

I'm slowly learning the differences in spice levels at Indian restaurants around town, as I know Tulsi's medium hot would have packed a punch! Maybe go up a spice level if you're considering? I ordered for pickup through their portal 90 minutes early, and arrived at my scheduled pickup time. It seemed as if they hadn't started preparation until I arrived, as I waited 25 minutes after arriving for my order with few other patrons being served at the time.

You have to set expectations here. There are a lot of nice Indian restaurants with innovative cuisine or high-end ambiance, and this is really not that. It's cafeteria style food.
