"Not worth it. The Gulab Jamun is only 2, not as fresh and taste ok. The Lamb or Goat Curry I chose goat, small portion for the price and was quite boney, and the orange juice is a bit skinny. Except youre really craving it. Do not order."

You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients and a lot of care. I also love that they use olive oil in their cooking—it gives the dish a clean, fresh taste without feeling heavy.
The portion was filling, and I appreciated that it was both healthy and packed with authentic Ethiopian flavor. I’ll definitely be ordering this again. Highly recommend if you’re looking to try something delicious and different!"

"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.

"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."

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 is flavorful with the right amount of spice—especially for me. When mixed with the rice, it balances out just right. I’m from Texas, and I will say it is seasoned and spicy to my liking as well.
The food doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but it is definitely filling.
I actually bought this once before maybe a week ago but forgot to upload the picture, so I’ll upload it with this one. The older one is the picture with the cut-up naan, and today’s meal is the picture with the whole naan. Although it’s cut up in the older photo, I do believe the naan added up to a whole piece.
The naan is very garlicky (aromatic)and flavorful—definitely homemade, which makes it worth 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.

"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."

"While, the food was very delicious, for $24 for butter chicken I would expect more than six chunks of chicken. The portion was certainly not enough in my opinion, but it was very well-made. "
"Cheddar Cheese Naan is amazing, it's fluffy almost? And the Vindaloo is great as well. I had lamb which was tender and the sauce was very good."

"It was delicious but they used to give you way more food. It seems like they try to give you more toppings than the act entree. Ill be honest $20 is too much for their tiny square container. Not sure if I will go there again. I might as well get real Indian food worth the money. "
"The Chicken Naan Pizza is fresh, fulfilling and flavorful! I have to give the Mango Lassi a 4/5 ONLY because of the portion size. I need more!!! 10/10 would definitely order again!"

"EXCELLENT FOOD (& CUSTOMER SERVICE); LAMB BIRYANI & CHICKEN SAAG. DELICIOUS!!! BUT DELIVERY FEE... SO EXPENSIVE :("
"This is as close to actual Indian food as you can get in DC. Everything was great. The kadhai mutton was as good as I've had in India. The chicken 65 was a bit more sour than I expected but five stars nonetheless. The kulcha is surprisingly large and soft, and goes well with the curry. Would order again."

"Wow, very tasty and the best Butter Chicken and Paneer Tikka Masala Garlic Naan I had in a very long time! i mean the Paneer Tikka Masala cubes are tender, and so is the Butter Butter Chicken cubes. The breast meat is not dried out. I will differently order again when I'm in town."
"Best Butter Chicken in the area! Other places taste too strong of tomato - this is PERFECTLY balanced and is the most comforting meal as it gets cooler out! Yes, the price tag and portion isnt as good as others but this flavor is to die for!!"

"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!"
"I absolutely love their Butter Chicken! It has amazing flavor and isn't too spicy. Every time I order from the spot my taste buds do a happy dance. The portions size it good too, they give you as much as you pay for. I would definitely order again, and if it's ur first time, I 100% recommend"

"there is so much meat in the lamb Biriyani. I ordered the medium but it still has a kick to it. it came with a lot of raita which had a good cucumber taste. it's very seasoned and flavorful. the Chicken 65 is also very flavorful and it has plenty of sauce so it's not dry. I also like that the chicken is crispy."
"The curries were bland yet overly sweet. The main flavor was cream with just a hint of spices. Very mild flavor. Not my favorite. The portion sizes were decent for the price, and the naan was pretty good as well, but overall I was disappointed."

"Food was really good and nice to see some interesting options which turned out well (Kale goat cheese olive kulcha naan, Quinoa Sun Dried Tomato Kale Kofta Turmeric & Coconut Sauce, Spinach Pakora Chaat, Lashooni Cauliflower). Felt like quality food too, not super oily like some places. My only critiques, if I had to nitpick, are I wish the naan was much thinner and wish the goat cheese kulcha had more actual goat cheese (was a very minor amount, flecks here and there, vs I hoped for it as a filling/spread inside). Would not hesitate to order any of the items again though."
"The best Indian food, hands down!!! They are willing to make any sauce vegan. When I found out I'm allergic to casein I could no longer eat Indian food. Thanks to Spice Kraft and their willingness to use coconut milk, instead of yogurt and milk, I've fallen in love with Indian food all over again! The chettinadu is amazing, the vegan blueberry rice pudding is incredible, vegetable korma...everything is awesome! I order from here every time I'm in DC!"

"As a South Asian, this is my go-to Indian food spot! Everything is delicious, well-balanced, spices are all cooked down and curries are well blended. Some of the spices might not be the most authentic but everything is just delicious and their portion sizes are generous! I never regret ordering from here."
"Everything from this establishment is excellent! I think I've placed around two or three orders now each trying a couple different items and the food is always steaming hot upon arrival with all the correct entrees in the well packaged bag. Also, huge portions. Will continue to support!! "

"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. Will not be ordering again."

"The vindaloo was absolutely delicious, the portions were very generous for the price and it came with rice (which not all indian restaurants include with the main dish). You could easily get two servings or more out of one of their mains. "
"I have tried almost all of the chicken curries at this restaurant and I can confidently say that this is as close as it gets to authentic Indian food than any other restaurant in DC. Amazing taste, with unique blend of spices for each curry dish. Just tried kadhai chicken and was pleasantly surprised again!"
