"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.

"A loyal customer of Taj of India for a decade now, this is the only Indian restaurant I'll order from and my go-to when I need a pick me up, when I want to celebrate something, or when I just want to treat myself. 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. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!"
"It was really good and the shrimp were high quality and perfectly cooked but for $24 it would have been nice to get more than 5 shrimp in the Shrimp Tikka Masala (N)"

"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. "
"the Butter Chicken is EXACTLY how it should be, and the Palak Paneer was almost perfect as well. My only complaint is that there's not *quite* enough rice for the serving, but honestly that's just because the curry serving is so generous. I am definitely reordering from here again."

"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!"

"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!"

"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.

This place just opened up recently and thank goodness because everything I've had from here so far is amazing. I am extremely picky about my Indian flavors and oh my God the dishes I've had from here just exudes multidimensional flavors that I expect from Indian or Nepalese cuisine. The lamb Rogan Josh was creamier than I'm used to, but had amazing flavor. The lamb madras was good, but just mild in flavor. The Lamb Curry is great. Exactly what you expect from a lamb curry with amazing flavors. I will eventually order most of the dishes here and hopefully they will be just as good. "

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!

"Biryani City has become one of my go to restaurants to order from when I have a craving for South Indian food. Excellent portions, always hits the spot with the flavors!
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!!"

"Everything was amazing. The Momo's have the right amount of heat, the chaat was perfect, the honey butter chicken was very different than others that we have had - in the best way possible, and the gulab jamun was simply sweet and delicious. We live in Old Town and for some reason haven't been to this restaurant before. This will easily be our new go to from now on."
"Taste is really good on the Butter Chicken, but I can't recommend it based on the value. $18.99 (before all fees) got me 6 pieces of chicken and NO rice in my order this time... I might patron the restaurant to dine in but would skip ordering on DoorDash in the future."

"The portion is a bit smaller than I remember but the the Butter Chicken is literally the best I've tasted in my entire life and the Samosa Chaat is so tasty. Never disappointed and well worth the price!! "
"Super amazing!! We have tried so many indian places in the area and this is top tier with Indigo. This place reminds me of my childhood in texas eating at indian buffets with my family. The portions are amazing and so worth the price compared to other indian joints. We got the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala along with Naan and mango lassi's for our first time trying and it has immediately become our go-to. "

"This was the best Indian food I have ever had, I truly do not say that lightly!!! I called to request something so they were super helpful. I was so nervous because I've never tried this place but the taste of the food blew me it way! The spice was actually spicy, biryani was packed to the brim, and samosa was nice and crunchy. Can't wait to order again!"
"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."

"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."

"If you are looking for traditional Indian favourites, this place is for you. We have been ordering delivery from them for years, and have eaten in a few times. Consistent, excellent food. It is the Butter Chicken you have been craving (not called butter chicken on the menu, which is a little annoying, so I ask for it when I call), the Rogan Josh, the Samosas. All excellent. If you want spicy, you have to ask for it. They have dumbed down the spice for the American palette. Also, call to order. They lose money when they have to pay an outside delivery service. "
"Warning! The photo and description show a delicious chicken in sauce. We were delivered pieces of chicken without sauce served over lettuce. When I called the restaurant they said it was because I had ordered the appetizer but nothing in the description explains that the appetizer does not come with sauce, and again, the photos show sauce."
