"DELICIOUS and beautiful! The Chicken 65 was a great amount of food and so was the the Butter Chicken Wings. I got medium spicy for both and it was the perfect "my mouth is tingly but I'm not dying and it's flavorful" level of spice I wanted. "
"Loved the dosa and chutney. Sambar was very less but otherwise everything was great. Felt satisfied with such a flavourful dosa. Have tried dosa at many other places but I was left disappointed by every other place. But from Sundara Everything felt fresh. Would definitely order dosa from here again. But then please give more sambar."

"It was delicious but they used to give you way more food. It seems like they try to give you more toppings than the act entree. Ill be honest $20 is too much for their tiny square container. Not sure if I will go there again. I might as well get real Indian food worth the money. "

"Best Indian food ive found in dc! Ordered the half size of butter chicken and it was more than enough for one person. Palak and Samosa Chaats were both amazing. This will definitely be my new go to place. "
"the Butter Chicken is EXACTLY how it should be, and the Palak Paneer was almost perfect as well. My only complaint is that there's not *quite* enough rice for the serving, but honestly that's just because the curry serving is so generous. I am definitely reordering from here again."

"The Fish Kolivada was a flavorful, spiced but not hot, white fish. you can taste the coriander (so good). There were two green sauces. No idea what they were, but they were complimentary. one was thin and sweet and one was like applesauce but taste like apple and tamarind. whatever it was, it was good. The Peshwari Naan was nice. slightly sweet like lightly brown sugared with raisins. The Cheese Naan taste like fresh garlic and cheese. it was ok. TheOnion Kulcha was good, too. If I hadn't had the other two breads, the Cheese Naan would've taste better. The others outshine it. The Mango Lassi came in and adorable milk bottle. Delicious! I'd want this and Peshwari Naan for breakfast and I don't usually like lots of sweets!"
"The food was soooooo good! It was seasoned well and packaged well. I ordered the Butter Chicken and Cheese Naan. Of course I ate it together - it's delicious and the rice, it was great!!! I could wait it by itself. I've been looking for an Indian spot since I moved here and I just found it. The Mango Lassi was delicious as well. I came to order so more but unfortunately they're close today and I believe tomorrow. I will definitely order from them again. I also think they gave me a complimentary small dessert which was so sweet."

"Himalayan Heritage is the best south Asian food in DC. Jhol Momo is perfect for anyone who likes dumplings. The Thali is great if youre adventurous. For appetizers, I recommend sandekos, sekuwas, and samosas. "
"Spinach Chat was as amazing as other reviews suggested - tamrind goodness, what a special dish. Garlic Naan wasnt as soft/pillowy as I've grown to expect, but good vehicle for other flavors. Jhol (Soup) Mo:Mo [No Gluten-Free] was pretty good, I ended up liking the dough and the filling separately - clearly well crafted though, and I just eat weird. Side sauce did not have much flavor and soup base was not addicting as I like soups to be. Definitely fresh and I would make someone go in just to share the Spinach Chat with me, so they could experience it!"

"A loyal customer of Taj of India for a decade now, this is the only Indian restaurant I'll order from and my go-to when I need a pick me up, when I want to celebrate something, or when I just want to treat myself. The Lamb Roganjosh is so warm and flavorful, and it literally melts in your mouth. Even the rice it comes with is fragrant and tasty on its own. The butter chicken and the tikka masala are also part of my regular rotation. The Garlic Naan is perfect by itself or dragged through sauce, and the cheese naan is just as good. I also love getting a side order of the Daal Soup and adding the Rice Kheer my cart right before I check out because I can never resist it --- perfectly creamy for dessert but not too sweet, which is exactly what I like. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!"

The chicken 65 was a bit more sour than I expected but five stars nonetheless. The kulcha is surprisingly large and soft, and goes well with the curry. Would order again."

"I was disappointed with this Butter Chicken (Signature Dish), it's always a hit or miss with Indian food in the DMV. Pieces of the chicken were chewy & undercooked. As well as the chickpeas (Chana Masala), they were hard and definitely could have been cooked longer. The texture of the leafy greens side was super thin and runny. The only thing I can praise was the portion of the dish, it was pretty ample for the price."

"The Butter Chicken was good, and portion sizes are great as far as meat included.
Mini Samosas were good, the sauces included are strong but complimented well.
Garlic naan was $3 for one piece. And once I got it, it was very stale, crunchy and seemingly burnt.
I wouldn't go ordering extra naan. It's not worth the price and the quality is lacking."

"The Goat was cooked to perfection, and the variety of rice grain usage was great, the colourful dish is a splash of flavour in your mouth and on your plate.
The Lamb Shank Rogan Josh was mildly spiced, allowing the tender notes of the meat to come through, and it was tender and slow cooked just the right way.
The Chicken Malai Kabab was moist and full of delicious notes of lemon, the char on it is fantastic, I love dipping it in the Raita, it just gives it a delicious mix of flavours."
"Really impressed with this order from Tikka! Everything was well spiced and packed with flavor, the Vindaloo and Tikka Masala had great depth, and the Samosas were a highlight, especially the sauces that came alongside them. The Raita was fresh and creamy, and both the Salted and Strawberry Lassis had a great yogurt base that felt authentic rather than watered down.
Portions were generous, plenty of food for the meal plus solid leftovers the next day, which is always a win. Everything arrived hot and well packaged, which isn't a given with delivery. The Fruit Naan was a nice touch too."

"Everything was amazing. The Momo's have the right amount of heat, the chaat was perfect, the honey butter chicken was very different than others that we have had - in the best way possible, and the gulab jamun was simply sweet and delicious. We live in Old Town and for some reason haven't been to this restaurant before. This will easily be our new go to from now on."

"This place truly serves Nepalese fine dining. We often come back to the goat curry and lamb chop, both of which are magnificent. The crispy okra travels ok. The crispy eggplant prepared with chickpea flour not as well but the flavor is definitely there. "
"With jhol momos, the jhol (the soup) is too watery, momos have no taste yet they charge premium compared to other restaurants.
Wild boar curry was too salty and tasted like goat curry which I do like but I felt like that's not what I had ordered. Again, the pricing was thru the roof compared to other Nepalese restaurants in DC. "

"One of the best Indian places in the area for years. I and my extended family are huge fans and have reunions there. Everything’s good. I’m a vegetarian and love all those dishes, of course the Palak Paneer (which can be too creamy and soupy in other places). A pro tip would be trying the Vegetable Pakora appetizer, w/ the sauces…MMM!"
"Great flavor, portion size, and price point! Really enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala but wish it was a juicer cut of chicken. The Lamb Biryani was a little dry but well seasoned. I loved the Samosa , the pastry was delivered still crispy. Would order from here again!"

"I order from here a few times a month, for about the past year. They always have such delicious foods, my favorite are their egg biryani and their chicken biryani. Their portions are great, they are very filling and I can eat about 2-3 times from their portions. Their food is always hot and fresh. If you like spicy foods, I recommend!"
"stellar new spot that just opened so there aren't many reviews yet! rich spice, generous portions (I had leftovers for lunch), great price point. this is one of our new favorite restaurants!! we got Chicken Tikka masala and Lamb Vindaloo - both were excellent. the Paneer kulcha was great too. can't wait to try more on the menu."

"The food was delicious. The amount of rice was excellent for the food. The food wasn't too oily. The food was exactly as expected.
The dal container broke with delivery and the contents spilled. Otherwise, good food!"
"I ordered the pakora, and it was very disappointing. The inside was still raw, and it seemed like the pakoras were old and had just been refried. They also had a bad smell, which made them seem spoiled or no longer fresh. I couldn’t eat them. Serving food in this condition is unacceptable"
