"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."

"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."

"there is so much meat in the lamb Biriyani.

I also like that the chicken is crispy."
"The curries were bland yet overly sweet. The main flavor was cream with just a hint of spices. Very mild flavor. Not my favorite. The portion sizes were decent for the price, and the naan was pretty good as well, but overall I was disappointed."

"The food is flavorful with the right amount of spice—especially for me. When mixed with the rice, it balances out just right. I’m from Texas, and I will say it is seasoned and spicy to my liking as well.
The food doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but it is definitely filling.
I actually bought this once before maybe a week ago but forgot to upload the picture, so I’ll upload it with this one. The older one is the picture with the cut-up naan, and today’s meal is the picture with the whole naan. Although it’s cut up in the older photo, I do believe the naan added up to a whole piece.
The naan is very garlicky (aromatic)and flavorful—definitely homemade, which makes it worth the price!"

"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!"

"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.

"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 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. We got the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala along with Naan and mango lassi's for our first time trying and it has immediately become our go-to. "

"The Amdavadi Touch Sandwich reminded me of India/Mumbai. and was awesome. Excellent taste. Well made. Not sure if I've had that flavor so perhaps it was a first. Sumptuous as well. 5 stars.
The Peanut Chakhana was great as well. A bit too spicy for me."
"The portion sizes for the cost for the Chicken Butter Masala is not worth it. stick to the smaller portioned items like Anda Masala Sandwich Egg Bites Paneer Tikka Wrap or Roti .
it's definitely moreso lunch food than dinner. the flavour is definitely there. I'd order it again"

"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!"

"As a South Asian, this is my go-to Indian food spot! Everything is delicious, well-balanced, spices are all cooked down and curries are well blended. 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."

"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!"

"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."
