"I recently tried the goat biryani, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with no unpleasant smell at all. The portion was generous, packed with tender meat that was perfectly cooked. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to enjoy it again!It would be great if they opened a branch in Stamford,CT
Having access to that delicious goat biryani nearby would definitely be a win for the community. "

"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 guess I made a great mistake, now I have two complete meal lol . I will definitely order from this restaurant again. "

"The Chicken Mayo Roll - Chicken tikka, onions and garlic mayo was good overall, but the chicken pieces were too big. Also, the sauce tasted more like cheese than garlic mayo but chicken was soft and flavor was there"
"the Paneer Tikka Roll was too dry. needed less paneer cubes and more rest of the fillings. the Veggie Cheese Roll was just... bad. too gooey but also bland and somehow old.
the portions are great, each Roll is enough for a meal but the flavor needs to be vastly improved. also the initial image is AI generated I think because they dont use flaky parantha just deep fried Rumali roti (which isnt bad but again, should not market it as flaky parantha)."

"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."

"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.

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.

"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. "

"Rajaji is my go-to Indian restaurant. It is my second favorite place. Their 16. Egg Biryani is very eggy, and that's the whole point. It was delicious to go with the 50. Tikka Masala (Butter Chicken) The food was very flavorful. I am originally from SE Asia, and together with my roommates, I have tried 10+ Indian restaurants in D.C. I can confidently say this is my second FAVORITE Indian restaurant. "

"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. "
"A favorite restaurant. The Rogan Josh, other entrees, Naan, Raita, all delicious. Best: delivery is always hot and well delivered or it has been! "

"Himalayan Heritage is the best south Asian food in DC. Jhol Momo is perfect for anyone who likes dumplings. The Thali is great if youre adventurous. For appetizers, I recommend sandekos, sekuwas, and samosas. "
"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!"

"Paneer Tikka Masala amazing! Delhi Dhaba Daal delicious! Veg Biryani super on point! Vegetarian items across the board are top rate. Haven't found better in Northern VA. Many dishes give Rasika a run for their money."

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 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!"
"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."

"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."
