"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."

"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!!"

"I just want to update the negative review I left yesterday upon opening the package for hungry kids who literally barely had enough and we're already complaining...
The other dishes that I pulled later had a normal amount in the boxes so I can only assume the 2 were a fluke. Sadly kids are an unforgiving crowd.
The food was good though. I give 5 stars to try and even out the 2 from yesterday. "
"The goat biryani had significantly less meat than it usually does. The same was true for the goat korma—it was mostly gravy with very few pieces of meat. I have ordered from this restaurant many times before and have always had a good experience, which is why this was especially disappointing. This is the first time the quality and portion sizes have fallen so far below my expectations."

"Madras Palace is a vegetarian Indian restaurant. I was happy the Vegetable Noodles were medium spice level as I made a special request. The portion was delicious and generous so I got 3 meals out of my 2 orders. The Vegetable Thali was a sampler of 8 different dishes(7 savory/1 sweet). It also included rice and I large whole wheat flatbread. I enjoyed 6/8: 1 was just too spicy for me and I'm a baker so the soft dessert didn't appeal to me.

"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 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. "

"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!!!"

"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!

"Nando's is super-reliable, quick, and makes the most amazingly delicious Veggie Burgers! I love to get mine with the mango sauce. When they have it, I also like to get it with a matchingly-flavoured mango lemonade -- mmm beyond belief! The mash (red-skinned mashed potatoes) are incredibly good, and I just fried the coleslaw for the first time -- I was pleasantly surprised to find that warm, and whether that was on purpose or not (I imagine it must've been.), it was a really nice new experience plus delicious! Of course, I love a good crunch -- and the slaw delivered that; it's also nice, so I found, to take a bit of mash and a bit of slaw together in one spoonful .... "

"Wonderful chicken biryani. Nicely packed, but be warned, this is a very small portion ( see picture) so if you feel really hungry, order extra food. I will order again."
"The Garlic Naan was unfortunately cold, even though I live very near by and picked it up right away (was home in 3 minutes). The portion sizes are very good and everything tasted okay. The Indian Hot option was still very mild, which was disappointing especially for the vindaloo. Despite being a bit mild, the Chana masala and vindaloo were still nice."

The portions of the meal always make it a good value and they are well packaged.
We really like their dal.
Just being in the neighborhood makes us crave this because of the smells from their kitchen."

"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. I never leave reviews but this was amazing - my husband and I were blown away! Food was in large portions and everything tasted fresh and homemade. This is officially in our rotation and we can wait to order again!"

"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."

"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."

"Quick disclosure - I am from Delhi and I ordered Chili Chicken Momo. One word - amazing. I had no expectations based on my experience ordering momos here in the DMV area but this was one of the best momos I ever had. Took me back - maybe a little spicy for our domestic friends but Indian folks missing home - this is it!!
Will be ordering a lot more!"
"Great place and highly recommend! Everything was packaged well and didn't deal with any messes. Everything was delicious and there were ton of great dishes to try.
Some reviews mentioned that the Butter Chicken was a tad sweet (which I agree) but we didn't mind when we ordered mild spicy. It was probably done to balance the customized spice levels for each customer. I think next time we'll it more spicy to see if we like it more. The Butter Chicken does come with a side of basmati.
Chilli Chicken was great and the spice levels were great! We also ordered Assorted Bread and loved the naan variety. It was packaged nice and warm for delivery.
First time trying Samosa Chat and Spinach Chaat and we loved it! Samosa chat is my new favorite dish, and there were so many great flavors/textures in one bite. Forget plain samosas! Spinach chat were like chips and loved the texture.
First time trying Steamed Chicken Momo which was good but probably not a dish for us. The tomato sauce was REALLY spicy and packed a punch lol but we had fun trying out new things."

"10/10 .Everything was perfect, the food was fresh and delicious. The best Koobideh Kabob in Virginia and the Kashk-E-Bademjan is perfection. Definitely goi to or again. "
"We ordered the lamb shank and the chenjej kabob with salads. The typical salad was great but the Shirazi salad was just chopped tomatoes and cucumber with no seasoning, no olive oil. The lamb shank was very small and mostly fat, again no seasoning. Sadly, the Chenjeh kabob was so overcooked and dry with no seasoning, I don't think even salt. It came in a big container with 8 small scattered pieces of meat- looked a bit sad. We had eaten at Alborz in probably 2013 and enjoyed it, not so much now. We are fans of Persian food. I don't know what went wrong tonight but would never order again, unfortunately."
