"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."

"Veggies- 16oz were tasty and cooked perfectly. Chettinad Curry's had a great flavor and heat level. It all paire well with the Butter Naan. I order from here regularly and will do so again. Really good value for the money. I wish they had raita and more veggie options."
"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!"

"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 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."

"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!"

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.

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 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"

"this restaurant has, quite frankly, the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. the Palak Paneer is good as well, but the butter chicken is beyond good. they give you a really solid amount of food for the price as well: spending ~$45 has gotten me easily 3-4 days of food for myself, which is well worth the price imo"
"Ordered here for the first time bc our usual go-to Indian place has been inconsistent lately. The Butter Chicken was on the sweet side, but my family still enjoyed it. The chicken wasn't as tender as some other places though. The Lamb Rogan Josh was mild in flavor but very tender. The Tandoori Chicken was a huge serving but was again not the juiciest tandori I've had. The Palak Paneer was good. Large portion. Lots of cheese. Good flavor. The Chicken Cheese Naan was delicious. First time we've ever had that. The nans were good too. Nice and fluffy. The MoMo Chicken dumplings were delicious but fiery! We weren't expecting that since the description didn't mention anything about it being spicy. The Mango Lassi was yummy, but the color is very bright orange and off putting. Looks like way too much food coloring. Overall, we'd order from here again."

"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."
"They always give generous portions, and very fresh delicous biryani. This is the only place I get biryani around here because it tastes the most authentic and flavorful. They also gave me a complimentary rice pudding which was very nice of them. Wonderful as always."

"there is so much meat in the lamb Biriyani. I ordered the medium but it still has a kick to it. it came with a lot of raita which had a good cucumber taste. it's very seasoned and flavorful. the Chicken 65 is also very flavorful and it has plenty of sauce so it's not dry. 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."

"Absolutely delicious packed to perfection for delivery!! We ordered Garlic Naan Butter Chicken Daal Makhni and basmati rice came with it!!"
"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 Halloumi Cheese Side was over cooked and hard. The chicken 12 PERi-PERi Wings were inconsistent with some being overcooked and some being fine. They also seem smaller than what I have gotten from years ago. The garlic bread was delicious."
"I recently door dashed at Nando’s Peri Peri for a team lunch at work, and I have to say, it was a disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken thighs, but what I received was far from satisfying. The “thighs” were so small they barely qualified as actual chicken thighs—more like overgrown chicken nuggets. On top of that, the chicken was extremely dry. I spent $14.19 for essentially three tiny pieces of what I’d barely call chicken, which left me feeling shortchanged and unsatisfied.
I usually budget $17 per person for work lunches, and this meal didn’t even come close to meeting that expectation. It was such a letdown that I couldn’t even get a full meal out of it. I won’t be ordering any time soon."

"The food was basic and not very flavorful. You've had better. Try somewhere else if you're looking for authentic Indian flavors. I got the Shrimp Curry & Rice the shrimp are small and I paid extra for extra shrimp and I only had 8 in total. This is a skip for me, you can get better elsewhere. The Garlic Naan was okay but again very little garlic. "
