"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."

"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 lamb on the Lamb Roll had a dry,mealy texture like an old burger that sat in the back of the fridge for a couple weeks. The veggies were fresh but it couldn't overcome or make up for the unacceptable lamb. Chocolate Cake was moist and plentiful. It is extremely rich so I could only eat two small bites. The food here is normally amazing but this was a waste of my money."

"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."

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.

"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. "
"The Chicken Naan Pizza is fresh, fulfilling and flavorful! I have to give the Mango Lassi a 4/5 ONLY because of the portion size. I need more!!! 10/10 would definitely order again!"

"The food was actually very good and it was hot still after a 40 minute delivery drive. The Garlic Naan and Butter Naan was great. Loved the (GF) Paneer Makhani but they didn't provide enough paneer. Not enough potatoes in the (GF) Shrimp Vindaloo. So much curry sauce and so little actual meat and paneer. "
"Saw this as a new option and wanted to give it a try - what a mistake! Forgot one item and the remaining were underwhelming. (GF) Paneer Makhani was too sweet, (GF) (N) Goat Cheese Malai Dumplings were sad tiny dumplings drowned in a flavorless sauce, and all the portions were smaller than any other Indian I've ordered. Will not be ordering again."

"Palak Aur Kajoor chaat was excellent. Butter chicken was good. Could have used more chicken. Chaat reheated well in the air fryer. I'll definitely order that again. Paneer dish I got last time was very good too."
"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 Shahi Paneer is so delicious. Very creamy and tomato-y. Slay!"
"The Chicken Tikka Masala was very good, and had a nice balance between the sweet and savory. The portions were solid, too. 5/5
Chana Masala - wife said it was really good. 5/5
Garlic Naan was tasty. A little spongy (probably since it was wrapped up), but perfect for tossing in the air fryer for a minute or two. 4.5/5
Veggie Samosa - very good. Nice balance of stuffing with peas and potatoes. 4.5/5
The Saag Paneer was good. Flavor was there, but the paneer wasn't fried/grilled/etc. 4/5
Overall, very good choice and I will be ordering 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. Amazing taste, with unique blend of spices for each curry dish. Just tried kadhai chicken and was pleasantly surprised again!"

"The food was very tasty (and spicy!) but we felt they were a stingy on the portions for the price and the fact that one garlic naan was almost $5. We did not like the pickles, as they were overwhelmingly spiced (cardamom? star anise?). "
"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."

"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."
"Everything from this establishment is excellent! I think I've placed around two or three orders now each trying a couple different items and the food is always steaming hot upon arrival with all the correct entrees in the well packaged bag. Also, huge portions. Will continue to support!! "

"Leaned towards warm spices. Very flavorful. Gobi Lasooni Ⓥ was a standout. Sweet, sticky, jammy onion flavor packed goodness. Palak Chaat was solid. Butter Chicken ★was more heavily spiced than usual, but quite tasty. Vegetable Samosa ★ Ⓥ were quite fragrant with a lovely crust. Reasonable portions and price."
"Chicken tikka masala & garlic naan are amazing. Only issue is the portion size for the palak chaat.. was really disappointed as I've gotten this dish from other places and the portion at taj of India is about half for the same price."

"I've heard so many of my friends, people in my residential area and even the dog park brag on this place, so I had to try. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and the Samosas (Veggie) they definitely exceeeded the hype. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection! I cleanedddddd every morsel off my entire plate!"
"This is seriously one of the best places I have ever been. I've had Indian all over the world and Indigo stands up there with the best of them truly. I usually don't like butter chicken but get theirs borderline religiously.

"Great portion size of the 16 oz Chicken Biryani! I got a meal for like the entire week out of this. It was delicious and still hot when I got it and the Mango Lassi was also delicious and smooth. The Samosa Chaat was also very tasty and great with crackers! Will order again 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. "
"Really great overall taste and quick/efficient prep and pickup. The Butter Naan is probably the freshest I've ever had from a local restaurant. The Lamb Madaras portions are a teeny bit off to consume in a balanced way. Curry is mostly sauce which is a great amount but the rice would never be enough for it. The meat portion is okay. Would return to try other items."
