Pam R.November 20, 2013You can't order wrong here. I've tried almost everything on the menu and never been disappointed.
- Drew NannisMay 13, 2010Palak Chat is the famous crispy spinach, but "spice infused bourbon" is the jelly to its peanut butter (on the rocks, of course).

Chester BeltowskiMay 27, 2011Get the 6 course tasting menu if you can afford it, if not, come back when you can.
Parth AgarwalAugust 3, 2015Not very impressed with the place. The famous palak chat wasn't really what i expected. Too long wait for walk-ins so remember to book a table before hand.
Live To EatApril 14, 2018Worst goat biryani ever... way overcooked... sent it back ... was given a worse 2nd round of it ... over cooked and now salty as well... also the manager was unhappy that he got critical feedback

Abrar AlsuwainaNovember 30, 2015Their service is good, but I have tasted so much better Indian food than they have .. Wouldn't repeat it
Yousif JNovember 2, 2023Below average restaurant. Host was very polite it took the shrimp biryani 45 mins until served and turned out to be chicken instead of shrimp. Waiter was unprofessional didn’t apologize . Never again
Roddy YoungOctober 4, 2010Outstanding food. I had the tasting menu and wine pairing. I'd recommend the tasting, but skip the wine pairing.
MAugust 23, 2019The service was poor by a forgetful waiter. Food was acceptable, but I did not find it wow! I selected a vegetarian set menu which was way overpriced $70+- Thomas ReintjesOctober 21, 2013If you can't decide for one of the vegetarian dishes, they prepare two half portions for you.
Sheridan MarfilSeptember 22, 2011Delicious Indian food. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

Janet McNicholFebruary 24, 2010The Palak Chaat (crispy sinach with chutney) is on the best dishes list in Washingtonian's 100 best restaurants for good reason.
James WangaFebruary 19, 2010The Raan-rasika (lamb shank) is my new reason to live. Be warned, the portion is clealy meant for a medium sized water buffalo.
Alison KennedyFebruary 4, 2012Jason knows exactly how to make whatever drink you didn't know you wanted
Mikhail BJuly 20, 2013The food is average and slightly overpriced. The naan is quite good but I think you can find a better eating experience elsewhere.
