They also used to run a food truck called Chatpat which would make me happy to no end when they came to the state department during lunch on Virginia Avenue. How amazing was it to get crisp dosas during the workday and eat it at my desk??!! However she said that the food truck wasn't making ends meet and so they stopped running it sadly. But I'm glad to know that they are also nearby in in the food court. Pre-COVID, during the workday this is my go to fix for reasonably priced homemade Indian food. This Auntie and her family hand make all their food and feature different regional specialties and rotate their menu daily. I love that so you're never bored. I have also had intense cravings for dosas and love that I can get these south Indian Staples right here at the Farragut West metro! I love both the traditional masala dosa and also the vegetable dosa. I would love to try the spinach cheese one but have not yet. It will be a bummer to get dressed and go to an office regularly when the pandemic is over but I look to favorites like Indian Delight to get through the workdays!

However, by the time we left they were packed, and everyone there enjoyed the bright atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, and delicious food. We tried several dishes--we got the fried chili buff momos. I will definitely get. Them again, but steamed. Honestly, I think that I could make an entire meal of momos. We got veggie samosas--standard--crisp, plump, a little salty, and good. We also got a creamy chicken dish and an okra (bhindi) dish. Both were very good. The service was exemplary--there was a team of four or five dedicated staff who rotated through with dishes and takeaways. Oh! I almost forgot the garlic naan--some of the best I have had. Definitely stop in and give this place some love!!

They tried to tone down some of the dishes as the hubster is a non-spicy person. The stuff still spicy , he stayed away from. We ordered a meal set for two to try a little bit of everything. We aren't experts in this type of cuisine, but there wasn't anything we didn't like. With the meal for 2 plus a side order of naan, we ended up making 2 lunch take out plates for us. I wasn't super hungry so that probably resulted in us taking more home. It was great, quiet and we'd come here again!

The chicken over rice (I only ate a spoonful) was hearty. The "hmmmms": I put the chicken and fries in the air fryer to get an added crunch. Flavorful, but just okay. To be fair, wings have to have a specific flavor and texture in order for me to truly enjoy them. I totally understand the process of what makes something halal, including what gives the chicken the red color, but this chicken was simply too red for me to eat, like beet red. Again, the portions are hearty and it had a nice flavor. If you like foods prepared on the softer side, you'd like Naz's.

It's a self-serve style place with a counter and limited seating, but it was quiet when we went in and service was fast. We both got creamy Indian dishes with rice and naan that were delicious, and large enough portions that we both took food home. Dumplings (momos) were just ok, but maybe it was the flavor I got. I wasn't a huge fan of the recommended sauce, which was served cold and detracted from the dumpling imo. The mango lassi was cold and delicious, and overall we enjoyed our meal.

They also have a full menu including kabobs, biryani, chicken, shrimp, goat and bean entrees. Al-Madina serves huge naan, it's true. I've only had the plain naan basket. I would like to try the garlic and kabuli naan with sesame seeds. Love the Yogurt Salad here. It's a gigantic bowl of yogurt, cucumbers, onion, tomato, mint, cilantro, and lemon. It's bountiful and delicious. We tried the samosas with potato, coriander, mint, cumin seed and red chili's. Very good. We enjoyed the Butter Chicken but it was not like any butter chicken I've had before. There was very little butter and cream present. The sauce was red and spicy. I ordered it as a mild version for the person eating with us. Maybe one could request extra cream if they are looking for a traditional, Amercan-ized, Indian Butter Chicken dish? It was flavorful, for me, though. We also enjoyed the Chicken Tandoori. It is moist, very well-seasoned and delicious. Zero complaints! We really liked the Chana Masala which is great for vegetarians. This is a chickpea dish with spices, and you can tell they have been marinated for a very long time. We tried this on the buffet. The Kabuli Palaw is a very mild and lovely rice dish. It comez with bone-in beef (so if you are serving children or seniors, pull this meat out for them), basmati rice, raisins and carrots. The raisins make it sweet and great. The Chicken Biryani is good and spicy but I enjoyed that it wasn't a fire-spice level. We ate this at the buffet so it was on the medium-spicy side vs. other wildly, spicy biryani's. The Kheer is super-delicious! It's a rice pudding with milk, heavy cream, almonds and pistachios. We also had this in the buffet and loved it. Especially the cardamom notes. The Chai is served very quickly here, so I'm wondering if they have a large soup pot of it in the back. It's nice but add sugar if you like it sweet. I liked that I didn't have to wait forever for it. The spices are just right and I ordered a second one! The service here was very friendly. Most of the staff spoke to us when I requested things and it is like an all-hands-on-board approach. This is why they describe themselves as fast-casual: you can just go to the front and ask for what you need when you are eating at the buffet. Things on this menu which pique my interest: White Lassi (dogh). I looked it up and it's plain yogurt and sugar with aromatics such as cardamom or rose water. They have the following fresh fruit juices: banana, mango, apple, orange, lemon, and watermelon. You can also mix two fruits. I wonder if you can add yogurt because I've and never had banana juice. The Afghani Sheryakh with milk, cream, sugar, cardamom, crushed almonds, saffron, and pistachio also looks delicious. The lentil soup looks delicious, as well as the lentil entrees. When they say it's fast-casual Indian and Pakistani, this is helpful because I've seen words, "Afghan," in titles and Kabuli in a dish name mentioned on the menu so it's a bit confusing. But a woman I was speaking with said the cooks are Indian and Pakistani. Madina is the name of 'the' holy city in Dubai. Maybe it's a similar concept to Jerusalem for us Christians. So there is this whole menangerie of countries mentioned in the menu, basically. The cooking here is the least closest to American Indian that I am used to eating. We really liked the flavors here. I saw jalapeños in a few of the buffet dishes and for me, all that was missing was beer to tamp the spice! Ah well, Coke and Pepsi did the trick for now. Would come back to Al Madina again. It's probably the closest I'll get to the real city of Madina in Dubai.

This interesting find popped up in my Grubhub search for random bites. What grabbed my attention?…read moreThe NYC-style chicken/lamb over rice (IYKYK). Having lived in NYC for a couple of decades, I pretty much survived off of chicken or lamb over rice especially after a late night of clubbing, partying and boozing. So, I decided to take a bit of a walk down memory lane...(unfortunately) without the clubbing, partying and boozing. First, I thought the prices for {protein} over rice bowls were pretty fair at 15-16 bucks. For the most part, I was pleased when my order arrived to my house. I would have preferred that the bowl came with a bit more protein (in my case, lamb), but the amount of lamb provided was a decent amount. From my NYC days, I was used to the bowls/platter being filled to the brim with your meat of choice. To be frank, I was expecting a soggy mess when the food arrived because I assumed that the restaurant would add the white sauce to the bowl. However, I was so glad that the restaurant provided the white sauce in its own container. Also, the restaurant provide a decent amount of the sauce because it is not {protein} over rice without the white sauce. ;) The restaurant provides two levels of heat (mild and spicy). Since I was unfamiliar with the restaurant, I decided to play it safe and go with mild. Next time, I'll take the risk and go with spicy...I'm not sure if I will be brave enough to go with the special super spicy sauce (or whatever it was called) in the future. All in all, I had a nice delivery experience with Krazi Kabbob and hope to try some more things from their menu.

I haven't been here in a while, so I thought I would pop over since I was right around the corner…read more I have been here several times prior since I live in the neighborhood, and had always been please with the food. I ordered the general sales tofu and the vegetable lo mein. The ordering process was super fast. I probably waited about 20 or so minutes, but I had an errand to run so by the time I got back, it was only about five minutes left to wait. The space itself is a bit awkward to wait in, so I would recommend ordering and then going to run an errand and coming back. I love my general tofu. The taste was on point. The tofu texture was great. The vegetable lo mein was also great. I really liked the noodles. The vegetables were cooked great as well and I appreciate that they were cut into smaller pieces and weren't massive hunks in the midst of the lo mein noodles. Overall, this is a really good grab and go spot as there is nowhere to sit and eat your food. The store is setup so that it is solely a lobby to wait for your food to prepared.

For a carry-out, they have a pretty robust menu that I haven't seen other carry-outs within the…read morevicinity. They are located in an area where carry-outs are not unknown, but it is very clean and legible when it comes to their menu. Parts of their carry-out experience are high-low, so you'll read a lot of mixed reviews on Yelp, so let this be an objective point of reference. Its maintained this neighborhood historic quality, being that the entire place is lined in granite. It has those nostalgic faded picture menus and the history of crossed out prices and new things they have added without redesigning the entire menu. It is next to a smoke shop, so you will see loiterers, but they respect the business, so keep your head down and just walk past them. I would recommend that the best part of their menu is possibly the cheesecake. I have never seen this on a carry-out menu. I was so inclined to try it from the dedicated custom glowing neon on the side of their building. I'm hoping that someone at Full Yum is just very passionate about cheesecake because it doesn't fit into anything on the menu. There are many combo/promotions that prompt you to order the cheesecake. They offer two variations: a classic cheesecake and layered crepe. It comes in so many flavors, we got the blueberry and it was rich, creamy (not icy), and the perfect light ending to our meal. This carry-out produced such an impressively uncharacteristic cheesecake, I would describe the eating experience similar to Rihanna's lyrics "We found love in a hopeless place..." Another good thing on their menu is their wings, since they are coming from a pretty general Chinese carry-out menu, things that are made to order probably serve as the highlight of their offerings and this is exemplary of that. Wings came crisply battered and a generous portion of fries. Of course, their main offering is classic carry-out style Chinese-American food, I'm definitely noticing that they tailored their food regionally for DC eaters. I'm not seeing a lot of vegtables aside from bean sprouts, onion, and broccoli (of course, only when ordered). It will hit all of those notes of crispy, greasy, salty, but in the good way that Chinese carry out is suppose to. We tried a large range of their menu, but at some point, it felt like the breaded items, noodles, and rice were a vehicle for the same combination of seasonings, and it was on the oily side. Flavors are not bad, but they are also not notable or distinctive. Yet, it is still one of the few places that have maintained a reasonable price point for their food. The food is made to order, but depending on when you catch them we got a pretty stale portion of rice. I see a lot of people come in throughout the day and night so I think they're moreso feeding the community in the area. It will be a good, quick, and affordable fix.
