Some of the spices might not be the most authentic but everything is just delicious and their portion sizes are generous! I never regret ordering from here."

"FINALLY found excellent Indian food in Bethesda that tastes authentic! We loved everything we tried: butter chicken was properly spiced and not so overly sweet (but my kids still loved it), saag paneer was vibrant and flavorful, and the tandoori wings were the best I've had. Can't wait to try everything else!!"
"The best Saag Paneer in the DMV! It's fresh, flavorful, and the spice level is perfect. The sharing size is a great price and I can get 2-3 meals out of it. It also comes with a big portion of rice, so no need to order extra. The Garlic Naan is huge and good as well."

"This was my first time ordering from this restaurant and the food was DELICIOUS! I am a meat-eater, but I never missed the meat. My favorite dish was the Saag Paneer . I've had it before I never knew what it was called. The Samosas were Amazing! The Vegetable Biryani was SO good - and spicy!! I'll have to start driving to the restaurant to order in person, because Doordash is extremely expensive, but this food was absolutely worth the money! We should all support this restaurant. Great food like this is very hard to find!"
"Absolutely loved my meal at Bombay Street Food. The Malai Kofta was rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavor, perfectly complemented by the warm, fluffy Garlic Naan.
Everything tasted fresh and well spiced definitely one of the best Indian meals I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to come back"

"My first time trying this place and it's DELICIOUS. The Samosa Chaat was delectable oh my goodness. The Aloo Gobi (Vegan) was flavorful, aromatic, and perfect texture. The portions are also generous! I will absolutely be ordering again and honestly sad it's not closer to me but I will make the drive for them! You can tell all the food is made fresh because this restaurant makes the block smell delicious!"
"They were out of spinach so I ended up with lamb rogenjosh rather than Lamb Saag but it was great! I'm not sure what some of these reviews are talking about when they complain about flavor. Most reviews were correct- very delicious, very flavorful- I almost wish I'd gone medium instead of hot/spicy for the two meat dishes as it was quite hot! But every dish was a party in my mouth from the Samosa Chaat to the Vegetable Samosa (2 pcs.)and the Chicken Momo (Nepali)! Glad I over ordered bc I'm happy to make several meals out of this. Highly recommend. So glad Methi is so close to me!"

Dont think twice about making this your go-to restaurant, and enjoy working your way through their fantastic mouth-watering menu!"
"JACKFRUIT BIRYANI was sub par- had a slightly sweet taste. Was not bad but not what you would expect taste wise for the price. It's great that Viraaj has some unique dishes but too expensive for the quantity and quality.
SAAG PANEER too salty and really small portion for an entree. Again not worth the value especially when there are so many options in the neighborhood.
This was my first time trying this restaurant and was curious to try some of the dishes but not sure they are worth the price and taste!"

"The best Indian food I have ever had. Been consistently ordering from them for years and they NEVER disappoint. My fave is the tandoori salmon but every dish I have tried has been fantastic. They've also been really good about any special requests I've made. It's never over-spicy or over-oily and always full of flavor. This is my go-to Indian place and no matter what other restaurant I try, it never lives up to this place. "
"Samosa was perfection, potato chaat was so satisfying, chicken tikka was rich without being too heavy, naan was so garlicky and pillowy. I never leave reviews but this was amazing - my husband and I were blown away! Food was in large portions and everything tasted fresh and homemade. This is officially in our rotation and we can wait to order again!"

"Chicken Korma came with rice and was excellently creamy and rich. For the price, I was expecting a much bigger portion size.
Tofu Manchurian wasn't my favorite because it was a softer tofu than I was expecting. It wasn't crispy in the slightest, it sits in a thick liquid and is soggy. The flavor was good though, it has a tiny bit of spice that builds."

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. "

"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!"

"My goodness... WOW! Every single dish was outstanding. I walk by this place all the time, and was hesitant because the previous owner never had anybody in the restaurant, and the reviews were poor. Then Mandala took over, and I have slowly seen it getting busier and busier. Then the other day, an Indian foodie friend told me the food was excellent. And then another person said you gotta try it.
I don't know why I waited this long, but this is some of the best Indian food I have ever had... and we've been to just about all of them in the DC Metro area, including Rasika. Great job, Mandala! I'll be walking over there for more of your food very soon!!!"

"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."

"EXCELLENT FOOD (& CUSTOMER SERVICE); LAMB BIRYANI & CHICKEN SAAG. DELICIOUS!!! BUT DELIVERY FEE... SO EXPENSIVE :("
"This is as close to actual Indian food as you can get in DC. Everything was great. The kadhai mutton was as good as I've had in India. 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."

"The vindaloo was absolutely delicious, the portions were very generous for the price and it came with rice (which not all indian restaurants include with the main dish). You could easily get two servings or more out of one of their mains. "
"I have tried almost all of the chicken curries at this restaurant and I can confidently say that this is as close as it gets to authentic Indian food than any other restaurant in DC.

"Based on food from around 10 to 15 different Indian restaurants, this place has the best South Indian food. Thank you so much! Special mention to the packaging for delivery. The only place that sends dosa separately packed so it doesn't lose its texture, shape, and crispiness. Kudos to your efforts and consideration."
"If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food is absolutely delicious... authentic South Indian flavors, perfectly spiced and seasoned, and the dosas are wonderfully crisp. Just a tip: dosas are always best fresh, so I definitely recommend eating in the restaurant rather than taking them to go. South Indian food doesn’t travel as well, and this spot is worth enjoying in their location."

"The portion is a bit smaller than I remember but the the Butter Chicken is literally the best I've tasted in my entire life and the Samosa Chaat is so tasty. Never disappointed and well worth the price!! "
"Super amazing!! We have tried so many indian places in the area and this is top tier with Indigo. This place reminds me of my childhood in texas eating at indian buffets with my family. The portions are amazing and so worth the price compared to other indian joints.

"This consistently is the BEST chicken tikka masala - and garlic naan - in DC!"
"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!"

"Are these the best Chicken Steam Momo in the area?! Quite possibly yes. They are savory comfort food with abundant filling and sauces that set them apart. I tried the Strawberry Lassi instead my usual Mango, and it was delicious and satisfying."
"I had the chicken biryani, chowmein and momo and they were absolutely delicious! The flavors were so authentic and reminded me of home. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and had a true Nepali touch. I enjoyed every bite.
The staff member who answered my phone call was also incredibly kind, polite, and welcoming. Their excellent customer service made the whole experience even better.

"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."
