I even got an extra broth (Korean seafood) and it helped to stretch the food out even more. The broth was absolutely delicious. A little spicy, but flavorful. Will be ordering from here again"

"Chicken Tikka + Avocado Salad Good stuff. plenty of flavor. A bit of "spiciness" (heat), enough to make it interesting without going overboard. I don't actually recall, but there are probably options from completely mild to "call 911!" I got spinach and "sexygreens" (kale & arugula) as the base, and added the "potato & cauliflower" option. I also opted for the Garlic Naan, which uses RAW, FRESH garlic, and plenty of it. Pretty powerful. My wife found it overwhelming; but once I realized what it actually was (At first I thought it was some exotic Indian spice or herb, but then I recognized it was just very strong raw garlic), I liked it. But it's not for the faint of heart. They also offer plain naan. Especially with the naan, this is a full meal, and then some, depending on how hungry you are. I ended up saving part of mine for the next day. AND, with the DashPass BOGO, it was an excellent deal. I liked it, will probably get it again."
"The Chicken Tikka Masala was entirely misrepresented in the picture. I received chicken and diced cucumbers over rice, coated in a watery sauce with some tomato mush stirred in. Oily water pooled at the bottom of the bowl underneath the rice, making everything wet and bland. Perhaps my order was wrong, but I've ordered the Tikka Chance on Me bowl before and this was neither that bowl nor anything approaching Masala. This was the kind of meal that made me go, "oh, that's not right" the moment I opened it up. My partner said it felt like one of those frozen meals from the grocery store. I also ordered Naan, which was fine but very overpriced for the amount we received - each order gives you one round piece - around 6" in diameter - also similar to something I'd pick up at the non-Indian grocery store. Finally, I ordered a side of sauteed spinach, and I got about a cup of spinach for over $6. It's wild how cheap the entrees are and how much they over charge you for the sides. RASA is pretty cheap for Indian Food and I'd say it's the fast casual of Indian Food. I'd also like to say that you get what you pay for, but I didn't get what I paid for - neither in terms of quality or quantity. "

"SOLID MASSIVE PIZZA AND GOOD FOR THE PRICE, hey if you're thinking pizza for either a party of kids or 3 staved animals. THIS IS THE PLACE! I like &pizza and some of the other chains around Reston but Luciano gives me a bit of that classic Italian vibe pizza. I'll be honest tho, if they could drop prices on the toppings I'd make this my number one spot. "
"Hard to tell what 3 dishes were in the sampler as it was all squished in one pan so hard to make out which w the lasagna was, the ravioli and the ziti. This was the first time in years I had eaten at Lucianos as the one I used to go to was in Herndon years ago but they closed that location and it was soooo good, too. So being at FFX Hospital and being tired of hospital food, I ordered this sampler along with a side salad and side of roasted vegetables (which were very good). I think the sampler needs to be in a bigger container so one can differentiate between the 3 pasta dishes as I really couldn't tell them apart. There is plenty for leftovers and I should have ordered a bit more sauce. I loved their bread which was as good as I remembered at the Herndon location. Lucianos used to include salad with the entrees so it's a shame they no longer do that but like most restaurants that seems to have gone by the wayside but for the price of the entree they should include a side salad."

"Best Butter Chicken in the area! Other places taste too strong of tomato - this is PERFECTLY balanced and is the most comforting meal as it gets cooler out! Yes, the price tag and portion isnt as good as others but this flavor is to die for!!"
"Butter Chicken : This was by far the best we've had in years. We've tried numerous places since moving to NOVA, but it was never impressive, or even close to what we had previously in other states. IndAroma has won our tastebuds over and will get our business whenever the craving for Indian strikes. Great sauce consistency, flavor and proper portion. Lamb Rogan Josh: Not something we typically order, but certainly enjoyed it; would order this again. Naan/Roti: Both about 8" diameter. Nice, buttery shine. tasted great with the entrees. Rice: Both portions came in one container (thank you for reducing packaging!). Flavored enough to be tasty alone, not overpowering when eaten with the Butter Chicken and Lamb Rogan Josh. Speed: I ordered an hour ahead and got there right as the text came through that my order was ready for pick up. They prepared the food very quickly as well (maybe 15-20 minutes?) based on the confirmation texts I received. The restaurant itself was busy, but the man behind the counter was still pleasant and unharried when I asked for my pick-up order."

"I frequently order from Bansari. Sarsoon Ka Saag is the best. Coming from the Western part of India, I just have heard about Saag but never had before. This is one of the best tastes I have ever had in the USA. Moreover, their Indo-Chinese dishes are mouthwatering. You can get all spice levels. Must try Chinese Bhel, Veg Manchurian, Hakka Noodles, and Veg Fried Rice. Being a vegetarian, I prefer to order from here as they have the best delivery option too and never mess with the order. "
"There was a time I used to love their food but their quality and quantity has been going down drastically. I had recently ordered one of my favourite dishes, the 'Rajasthani Laal Maas' but it was completely tasteless and wasn't close to what I've had from here on many occasions before. Now, for a dish worth $25 plus taxes, one really expects it to be at least good if not great. The quantity as well was obnoxious since their container was just half full and there was hardly any goat flesh over the bones. It felt like I was eating a left over dish. I was greatly disappointed with them recently."

"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."
