"Steamed Chicken Momo's 6 pcs ad the Non-Veg Meal are great deals and very tasty. the LAMB KADAI was very flavorful, good amount of meat...it's on the end of the menu and easy to miss... mix it up a bit, the oil seperates. Chef special biryani is a great deal withe meats- shrimp is large."
"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."

"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 a group order with non- south- Asians and they did a great job adjusting the spice levels!"
"The best Indian food in the DMV area. True South Indian flavors - complex, layered, delicious - just like what you would get in India. Our family is obsessed with their biryanis, dosas, chicken kurma & basically everything we tried. Portion sizes are so generous. We order from here every few wks!!"

"So delicious. Excellent flavor on our whole order. The paneer in the saag paneer were a great texture. Firm enough that they didn't fall apart but still a soft bite. Not squeaky or plasticky. The aloo gobi was packed! Nothing worse than being super hungry but getting a lot of the curry sauce but not much substance. We weren't disappointed. Chicken tikka masala had the perfect amount of heat for our family. Can't wait to have the leftovers tomorrow! "
"This was my first time trying Chicken Korma and it was a generous portion. The chicken is very tender and beautifully infused with wonderful spices. I am glad that I ordered Naan to go with it because it just goes well with the chicken. I love the taste of this dish and would definitely recommend it and order it again. Their samosas are very good. Overall this was a delicious meal. The flavoring of the rice medley by the way was a wonderful surprise, not just plain rice. Thank you for the satisfying and delicious meal."

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"

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 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!"

"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. "

"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. "

"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."

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.

"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."

The Wild Kombucha - Mango Peach and Wild Kombucha - Ginger were excellent, but I did not receive the Wild Kombucha - Ginger Grapefruit, they instead gave me 2 gingers, which was fine. I also ordered a Side of Main of the spiced shrimp, also very good. The Masala Chai Cookies were tasty but extremely small, ridiculously so. This was my first order and I'll definitely order again, but not the cookies!"
"So cold, overly salty. Won't ever order this again. Not worth the money. Portions are terrible especially for the price."

"Amazing flavors! Just ordered for first time and everything is incredible. I don't review restaurants often but this place really deserves it. Will be on our regular list for sure! So happy to have an awesome new place in town!!"
"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!!!"

"Best Indian food with fair price. Good quantity and fast delivery. Loved butter chicken and garlic naan .
"
"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. "

"Absolute best Lamb Biryani that I have ever had!! Expertly seasoned rice and large and plentiful chunks of lamb. The Indian Spiced Hummus was delightful and a good portion as well. My new favorite Indian restaurant. Me and my spouse both have plenty of leftovers. Good bang for your buck. Trust. "
"Don't be scared off by the price tag or lack of %off deals. The portions are so generous that each entree yields two full meals. The food is always excellent. Generous amount of meat in the biryanis and perfect proportion of paneer in the Saag Paneer. The Chicken Tikka Masala is always a favorite. Butter Chicken is basically the same flavors, but a little more rich. Also delicious. The rice here particularly stands out over other Indian restaurants in the area. So good we often order extra even though they provide enough."

"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."

"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."
