"Quick disclosure - I am from Delhi and I ordered Chili Chicken Momo. One word - amazing. I had no expectations based on my experience ordering momos here in the DMV area but this was one of the best momos I ever had. Took me back - maybe a little spicy for our domestic friends but Indian folks missing home - this is it!!
Will be ordering a lot more!"
"Great place and highly recommend! Everything was packaged well and didn't deal with any messes. Everything was delicious and there were ton of great dishes to try.
Some reviews mentioned that the Butter Chicken was a tad sweet (which I agree) but we didn't mind when we ordered mild spicy. It was probably done to balance the customized spice levels for each customer. I think next time we'll it more spicy to see if we like it more. The Butter Chicken does come with a side of basmati.
Chilli Chicken was great and the spice levels were great! We also ordered Assorted Bread and loved the naan variety. It was packaged nice and warm for delivery.
First time trying Samosa Chat and Spinach Chaat and we loved it! Samosa chat is my new favorite dish, and there were so many great flavors/textures in one bite. Forget plain samosas! Spinach chat were like chips and loved the texture.
First time trying Steamed Chicken Momo which was good but probably not a dish for us. The tomato sauce was REALLY spicy and packed a punch lol but we had fun trying out new things."

This was a group order with non- south- Asians and they did a great job adjusting the spice levels!"

"I was wondering why the samosa with chutney was $8. How many samosas did it have?? I ordered it anyway and was thrown off by the fact that is a dish, like a deconstructed samosa. And then had to eat my words bc it was SO GOOD. Everything else was delicious too (though I love garlic and the garlic naan was a little too much for me so I'm getting regular next time). Great stuff. "
"Try the Vegetable Momo's 6 pcs .. they are heavenly. Their samosas are also very delish. I would however, skip the Rice Pudding , it was tasteless. We had the Non-Veg Meal with Butter Chicken and Aloo Ghobi... both of which were very tasty, well worth the price and plenty of food for 4."

"I really enjoyed the Murgh – Tikka (Boneless White Meat) it was tender and flavorful. The Aloo Gobhi was OK, different from what I'm used to, though. The rice was a bit dry. What I really liked was the cute reusable tote bag the food was delivered in. That was a nice touch."

Great food like this is very hard to find!"

"This place is amazing! Having lived all over the world and eating Indian food, this place has great taste and the right amount of heat. Their "spicy" is definitely more flavored towards traditional American "spicy" but given that the flavors come through a lot more. The lamb is very tasty and their naan is delicious, hopefully they add a garlic cheese naan to the menu! The rice was not your traditional basmati with cardamum, but was a little more buttery. Highly recommend this place."

"The food from Tikka stood out in taste the same way as I last dined there. They achieve a balance of flavors that's unparalleled. When I unwrapped the packaging of the Onion Kulcha I was hit with a burst of aroma! with every bite, I experienced the crunch of the onions and chewiness of the bread. The Amchur Bhindi Masala maintained the crunch of the Okra while the sauce coated the pieces. I was truly blown away by The dum Biryani With Raita for it's texture and incorporation of Jackfruit which did not make me miss any chicken! The raita had rock salt which just reminded me of home! Will certainly order from here again!"
"Ordered the spicy wings not bad but $12 for four chicken wings is crazy. Butter masala chicken was terrible, inedibly sweet like bizarrely sweet it was gross. Also extremely small for the $26 like 8 little cubes of chicken. "

"The Chana masala is absolutely to die for. So filling and bursting with flavor, mixed with their rice it is the perfect meal. The veggie samosas are flaky and crunchy and still somehow melt in your mouth, 10/10. If youre a fan of spice you can't go wrong doing the samosas with their green sauce they include. "

"The butter chicken is absolutely delicious. I also love the vegetable samosas and somasa chat. I usually get the garlic naan which is fabulous as well. My only complaint is the price! $7 delivery fee--why??"
"Pakora were crispy! Sauce of cilantro (coriander herb, dhaniya, dhaniyan) was tangy, thin, & a tiny bit spicy. Sauce of tamarind (imli) was tangy, thin, & sweet. Each sauce was in a container big enough for dipping.
Cho‐e‐la (choila, cho‐e la) was shredded, very tender, well cooked, well seasoned duck (like pulled pork) with thin, tender pieces of onion. Came with a slice of cucumber, a slice of raw carrot, & chopped iceberg lettuce, all fresh & crisp. Underneath was a bed of baji (rice flakes) that had a slight rancid smell. The baji & veggies nicely balance the salt in the duck.
Chana masala had Kabuli chana (garbanzos, chickpeas) in a thin, mild sauce with tomato bits. Description mentions potato, surprising me. Dish has no potato, not surprising me.
Basmati rice was plump, tender but firm, hydrated but separate, seasoned with cumin (jeera), and almost all unbroken: perfect!"

"We *love* Namaste. Delicous, accurate, and fast every time we've ordered. We switch up our orders but have never been disappointed. I'm a big fan of their bhindi (okra), aloo gobhi (cauliflower and peas), and mulagatwani (spiced lentil) soup; my husband swears by the lamb curry. Always well-packed and hot on arrival. 5/5 for take-home Indian."
"For the Chicken Tikka Masala, the portion size was kind of on the smaller side. Flavors were great. But I counted probably only 6 pieces of chicken in the actual stew, which was pretty disappointing for the price.
The Aaloo Tikki was a new try for me. After googling what it was, I expected potato cakes with some sort of a dipping sauce onthe side. What I got was a chickpea stew with 2 breaded potato cakes inside it. It was garnished with pomegranate seeds, which I didnt care for. Wouldnt order this dish again.
The Tandoori Wings were really good! Lots of flavor and very tender!
The Lamb Vindaloo was spicy and flavorful, but again, portion size for the price is lacking.

"Good food and amazing portions for its price, really the best of both worlds. Usually, I find the portions or food in most Indian restaurants on this app either subpar or expensive but this place is great in both those categories. One of my favorites so far near my location."
"The Chana masala is reliably delicious and makes for great breakfast and dinner. One order is enough for 2.5 meals with rice. The Kadhai is always fresh (the onions and green peppers are still crunchy-- perfectly al dente). Note that "medium" spice level is like a mild level for people used to (or who like) heat. We find that the mutter paneer is bland (even with medium spice level) but the paneer and peas are adequate in quantity and fresh. They don't skimp on paneer at Spicelife!"

"I ordered Chicken Makhani Combo (N; GF) . The taste was lovely and it was great value for money as the combo included so many items - butter chicken, lentils, vegetable dish, rice and naan - enough for two meals. I removed one star as the packaging and handling needs improvement. As you can see from the photos, the chicken gravy, vegetable and rice got all mixed up and even leaked from the bag. But other than that, I loved it. "
"The Vada Pao was tiny like finger food tiny, not bigger than a plum. It tasted pretty mediocre. The Honey Chili Lotus Stem (VG; DF; GF) were straight up uncooked raw and tasted stale. The Dahi Bhalle (GF) were not bad in taste, but portion size was very small. "
