"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."

Amber Spice

"Food was delicious! I've dined in before. This was my first time ordering delivery. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in the area! Food is high quality and very reasonable priced, in my opinion. The lamb is flavorful, tender, and not overly gamey. The Vindaloo is just the right amount of spicy. It is very spicy, but edible for me. It's not just hot, it is flavorful too! The white rice has just the right amount of seasoning and is cooked perfectly, not starchy or clumpy at all. The raita was a nice compliment to help cool things down when the Vindaloo gets too hot. The Tandoori Roti is flavorful, tender, and has a nice texture. The Mango Lassi has a nice flavor, is creamy, and not too sweet and a little tart. My only downside is they use paper straws. All of the food was packaged perfectly for delivery."

"Amber Spice is the best Indian restaurant in Laurel. (There are other good ones, but this one is the best.) Love the Saagwala (and any of their lamb - and other - dishes). The Rasam Soup is perfectly spicy, and so warming on a cold day."

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."

The essence by John N Nair

"Honestly, ive been to fancy Indian restaurants and the take out here is much better. My food always arrived fresh and steaming hot!! Delicious! Omg the wings are soooo delicious, the Manchurian flavor. The Veg Samosa (2 pcs) was extra crispy and delicious. Ugh I will definitely reorder! "

"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."

"I was disappointed with this Butter Chicken (Signature Dish), it's always a hit or miss with Indian food in the DMV. Pieces of the chicken were chewy & undercooked. As well as the chickpeas (Chana Masala), they were hard and definitely could have been cooked longer. The texture of the leafy greens side was super thin and runny. The only thing I can praise was the portion of the dish, it was pretty ample for the price."

"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 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.

"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."

"I ordered the Veg Biryani and the Butter Naan and they both were excellent. This is probably the best Indian food in the whole area. I will keep ordering from Minerva often. They always make their food with a lot of love and care and it reflects well with the taste of their food. The food is always delicious every time! "

"They forgot to add salt to Gobi masala (says someone who avoids sodium as much as possible). The biryani was worse. It was way too spicy (when spice level wasnt an option one would except medium at best) and salty (the irony). Now the worst part - the only 3-4 pieces of meat they put in it was just bones. Never again. "

Heritage India

"Chicken Tikka Masala tasted great. But it was a tiny portion. For $20 I would expect more than a small cup of rice and four pieces of chicken. "

"What happened to Heritage India? I’ve been eating here for more than a decade at various locations and ordered carry out tonight. I didn’t even recognize the food. It was improperly spiced - like it was over spiced yet somehow lacked any flavor. It was like the chef accidentally dropped a bag of ground cardamom into the matter paneer. The texture of the palak was grainy and the pilau was like “dirty rice” lacking the fluff and subtly of saffron. And it was not inexpensive which adds insult to injury. It was more like food from a dhaba than the high-quality food for which Heritage has been known. I’m so sad to write this and hope it is just an ‘off night’."

"My top favorite Indian restaurant in DC! Finding South Indian flavors is so difficult, and while Vegz not only gets the crispy MYSORE MASALA DOSA(V/GF) right, they nail the coconut chutney! The POORI BHAJI (V) had just the right tang to the curry, and the CHOLE PURI (V) was rich. DAL MAKHANI (V/GF) was creamy and just delightful!"

"Ordered JAIN DAL TADKA from Vegz, which came with rice. Dal was very tasty and flavourful, just how it should be and the rice was cooked perfectly. Took the picture after mixing the dal and rice together in my own container, however they came separately, packed in individual containers."

"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."

Tikka - 4221 Connecticut Ave Nw

"The Goat was cooked to perfection, and the variety of rice grain usage was great, the colourful dish is a splash of flavour in your mouth and on your plate. The Lamb Shank Rogan Josh was mildly spiced, allowing the tender notes of the meat to come through, and it was tender and slow cooked just the right way. The Chicken Malai Kabab was moist and full of delicious notes of lemon, the char on it is fantastic, I love dipping it in the Raita, it just gives it a delicious mix of flavours."

"Really impressed with this order from Tikka! Everything was well spiced and packed with flavor, the Vindaloo and Tikka Masala had great depth, and the Samosas were a highlight, especially the sauces that came alongside them. The Raita was fresh and creamy, and both the Salted and Strawberry Lassis had a great yogurt base that felt authentic rather than watered down. Portions were generous, plenty of food for the meal plus solid leftovers the next day, which is always a win. Everything arrived hot and well packaged, which isn't a given with delivery. The Fruit Naan was a nice touch too."

"Food was well-seasoned, but portions were a joke. They have a lot of nerve charging $30 for a literal cup of rice and a few small cubes of meat. Much nicer restaurants than this charge the same amount for three times as much food. I really hope they figure this out because the chef seems to be very talented and I would hate to see them fail so soon. "
