"My wife is Trini and so my in-laws are first generation Trinidadian immigrants who make some of the best Trini dishes I've ever had. So you can get imagine my excitement to learn that a restaurant serving authentic Trini food had returned to the area. My wife used to eat here when it was the original Teddy's and was also excited to have some good old home food. But I was extremely disappointed when I opened the container to see very small portions of oxtails and rice. The meat was tough and the sauce was very oily. Next I tried the doubles. The Chana had a very tasty sauce however they were a bit undercooked and hard. Not at all tender or creamy as I had expected. The curry chicken was lost in the sauce . Finally I got to the main event, the shark & 2. Fried Bake and Shark. It was dry and resembled minced shark not the filet that I was hoping to find. And lastly the bake itself was too hard and chewy. Overall I have to give it a 3 out of 5 forks, a hard pass but I would give Teddy's a second chance. Maybe it was just a one off and not typical of their quality. But the prices were very expensive considering the portion sizes. The meat dishes need more meat to be a decent value. Ultimately good flavors but mediocre presentation and preparation.
Ps. I didn't even get my 1. Sorrel. Bummer."
"Truly an authentic shop. I've yet to be disappointed by Teddy Roti Shop. The 1. Doubles is A+++. 7. Curry Goat Roti Wrap reminds me of my childhood in the Caribbean."

"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."

"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!"

"I was wondering why the samosa with chutney was $8. How many samosas did it have?? I ordered it anyway and was thrown off by the fact that is a dish, like a deconstructed samosa. And then had to eat my words bc it was SO GOOD. Everything else was delicious too (though I love garlic and the garlic naan was a little too much for me so I'm getting regular next time). Great stuff. "
"Try the Vegetable Momo's 6 pcs .. they are heavenly. Their samosas are also very delish. I would however, skip the Rice Pudding , it was tasteless. We had the Non-Veg Meal with Butter Chicken and Aloo Ghobi... both of which were very tasty, well worth the price and plenty of food for 4."

I've had amazing kathi rolls in NYC and Philly for $6-$7, so I just assumed these would be bigger since they're twice the price and those cities are comparable to the DC food scene. The one I had from Bindaas turned out to be even smaller.
I personally don't have a problem paying more for food in a restaurant when there's service being provided and you have the ability to easily order more. But I'm still hungry after spending $26 on a takeout order when I usually don't even spend half as much. "
"I was surprised at how good this meal was! The dal makhani was more flavorful and had more of a spice kick than I am used to for this dish, but it really added something to the food beyond lentil and cream. The basmati rice was fragrant and well cooked. Will order again!"

"EXCELLENT FOOD (& CUSTOMER SERVICE); LAMB BIRYANI & CHICKEN SAAG. DELICIOUS!!! BUT DELIVERY FEE... SO EXPENSIVE :("
"The lamb Biryani was ok. Very one note. Asked for medium spicy and it was not spicy at all. Most of the rice was broken and in smaller pieces. Not too much lamb for like $24? Missing a lot of herbs like coriander and lemon etc. Paneer Paratha was ok. Regular plain paratha would have been fine.
The Saag Paneer and Tadka Yellow Dal were good."

"Rajaji is my go-to Indian restaurant. It is my second favorite place. Their 16. Egg Biryani is very eggy, and that's the whole point. It was delicious to go with the 50. Tikka Masala (Butter Chicken) The food was very flavorful. I am originally from SE Asia, and together with my roommates, I have tried 10+ Indian restaurants in D.C. I can confidently say this is my second FAVORITE Indian restaurant. "

"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!"
"The Lamb Saag was so good. It was hot, fresh and very tasteful. Also a good portion. I didn't realized it was coming with rice already, so I ordered a size of rice, and received two. I guess I made a great mistake, now I have two complete meal lol . I will definitely order from this restaurant again. "

"Best it's ever been! Chicken wasn't overcooked and sauce was thick and creamy and delicious. Rice had a perfect bite to it"
"I give a mixed review. My husband loved his paneer tandoori. He liked the naan. I thought it was undercooked . I got the chicken tandoori. There was very little meat, two small chicken legs, small thigh and small piece of chicken breast, basically mostly bones. Neither of our dishes came with the option to buy rice although other dishes on the menu did offer that option. We were not given the choice of spice level and I found my dish bland. "

"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."

"We *love* Namaste. Delicous, accurate, and fast every time we've ordered. We switch up our orders but have never been disappointed. I'm a big fan of their bhindi (okra), aloo gobhi (cauliflower and peas), and mulagatwani (spiced lentil) soup; my husband swears by the lamb curry. Always well-packed and hot on arrival. 5/5 for take-home Indian."
"For the Chicken Tikka Masala, the portion size was kind of on the smaller side. Flavors were great. But I counted probably only 6 pieces of chicken in the actual stew, which was pretty disappointing for the price.
The Aaloo Tikki was a new try for me. After googling what it was, I expected potato cakes with some sort of a dipping sauce onthe side. What I got was a chickpea stew with 2 breaded potato cakes inside it. It was garnished with pomegranate seeds, which I didnt care for. Wouldnt order this dish again.
The Tandoori Wings were really good! Lots of flavor and very tender!
The Lamb Vindaloo was spicy and flavorful, but again, portion size for the price is lacking.

"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!"
"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 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.
