“First I would like to say that I wish there were more than 5 stars. My son and I are visiting the DC area for the Cherry Blossom festivities. My son has a love for Indian food ever since his trip to India. I have never tried Indian food ever. So this was my very first experience. From the moment we walked in the door our amazing experience began. The atmosphere is beautiful and so is the staff. Our server, April was super helpful and very knowledgeable. She has an amazing spirit and is wonderful with her job! The food... was very fresh, aromatic and DELICIOUS!! My son said the food was the closest to the food in India that he has had here in the states. For my first time... OMG!!! I am HOOKED! The only bad part is that I have to go back to Florida and wait impatiently for my next visit.“
“Absolutely memorable and enjoyable dining experience. Wonderful and attentive service. Beyond imaginable flavor profile. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Made the birthday celebration extra special with their own added touches. Truly incredible! Come here - you won’t regret it.“
“I have been twice to this place and both times the experience has been good. Zucchini kofta and daal makhani was good but I felt paneer pasanda can improve. Their menu has a very limited vegetarian options which is kind of disappointing as it would be difficult to go again and again due to limited vegetarian options. The ambience was exceptional and serving staff was courteous. They really took care of my Food Allergies.Drinks were average.Give it a shot and try for yourself!Dietary restrictions: If you tell them about your food Allergies they will take care of those.“
“Craving a delicious and authentic Indian dining experience? Look no further than The Bombay Club in Washington DC. Stepping into the restaurant is like entering a world of sophisticated elegance. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a touch of old-world charm. Live piano music fills the air, adding a touch of romance and enhancing the overall ambiance.But the true star of the show is the food. They boasts a menu that delivers a delightful journey through the diverse flavors of India. From perfectly spiced curries to melt-in-your-mouth tandoori meats, every dish is bursting with authenticity. The menu caters to a variety of palates, offering both familiar favorites and more adventurous options.“
“We were looking for a spot to have lunch after checking out a local museum. This was on a list of places I wanted to try so we tried it out. Ambiance - It wasn't as fancy as I imagined it would be, but it was still nice. I looks like a lot of people come here for lunch. Food - The food was good. The palak paneer was a little sweet for me, which was kind of weird. The butter chicken could've used more spices. The tomato was the prevalent flavor. The garlic naan was on point! Service - The service was friendly and attentive. They made some menu suggestions, but we already knew what we wanted to order. My son could've used a refill of water though. Overall, I'd recommend this spot. I'd like to come back to try their desserts.“
“It’s a lovely and beautiful place and the food is good too. However , I asked for more of the green chatni with my chicken tandoori and it came later . I’d almost finished my chicken .Also the innovation you guys are making in some traditional Indian cuisine are really not nice . The rasmalai looked and even tasted bizarre. I mean I can understand that you are trying to be different and sophisticated but it was not a rasmalai anymore !! It was something else“
“Service was excellent and food was pretty good. The prawn vindaloo and daal fry, in particular, were tasty. However, portions are quite small for the price (and seemed to have shrunk, along with an increase in $ over the last year or two) so wouldn’t say it’s good value for money, especially when compared to other comparable Indian restaurants in the DMV.“
“The service was impeccable. The staff were all extremely friendly, kind, and professional. The food came out in a very timely manner and every interaction with the staff displayed the restaurant’s deep interest in ensuring the best experience for all of its customers. We will be coming back again for the amazing dining experience.“
“Was taken there for my birthday. My cocktail was superb and some of the best samosas I've had. They weren't too oily and mostly flaky and crispy. For Dinner, thw wife had Chicken Tikka Masala which tasted amazing and the chicken was very tender. It tasted "simple" and I do mean that in the nicest way considering I've had this dish at other restaurants and the flavors and spices are too overpowing. I had the Miz tandoori platter with a delicious lamb and chicken tikka. As good as they were, the star of the dish is the salmon. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Many restaurants don't get salmon right and it's usually overcooked and to my delight that was not the case here. Accompanied by the basket of naan that includes regular, onion, and garlic flavors and rice were a great combination. Raj and his staff deliver high quality of service and friendliness to the customer to go along with the delectable cuisine. Bravo Raj, bravo. I Can't wait to go back“
“This was BY FAR the best dosas and Idli we have had in years! Chef Paul is amazing and he told me he doesn’t believe in catering or delivery because South Indian food is best served hot and fresh and I couldn’t agree more! The Idlis melted in my mouth. The dosas were just perfect - the masala and chutney and sambhar -10/10! Go - no run to this place!“
“A family run and operated restaurant. Manish and his sons not only deliver the best Indian cuisine, but they welcome all with warth and kindness. As for their food: first timers will love the chicken tiki masala. We love the lamb or fish, biriani. I personally found favorites in two vegetarian dishes that have convinced me I could totally go vegetarian one day. ?“
“This place is an awesome place. But I noticed one thing about one of the Indian customer that they are being so rude about the service. Customer service was awesome. But the lady was rude. It’s my personal opinion about not being so rude with them. You don’t know how people eating in Gaza. Allah can take you same position within a short time period that you can’t imagine. Please be honest about your reviews.“
“I'M CURRENTLY 5 YEARS MEATLESS FREE AND THAXS SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VEGAN OPTIONS.I WAS ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND THE EMPLOYEE WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND PATIENT.Vegetarian options: THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS PLEASE READ THE SEVERAL MENUS OR YOU CAN GO ONLINE TO ORDERParking: PLEASE COME AROUND LUNCH OR DURING EVENING HOURS.“
“Authentic Desi food. BIG PORTIONS It is so tasty and spicy. We asked for spicy food and it had good amounts of spice. HALAL FOOD People are so nice here. They give complimentary chai They give more food than you are expecting and the portions are really big. Two people can get full easily. The place is in a small plaza called trinity square“
“After a night out on the town drinking with my boys Reggie, Clyde and Billy Boy our Uber dropped us off at this bar. After having our fill of booze there we needed something salty in our system so we saw this pizza joint in walking distance. The dudes behind the counter were pretty chill and even let us sit for a minute while we was waiting for our pizza. It was around 1 am and they still made it for us which was a plus. Four drunken fools up to no good lol. Thanks for exemplary service and excellent food. we def coming back thats for true :-D“
“I've ordered from this restaurant multiple times and I have also dined in. It's now a staple for me. Their food is pretty consistent and is always on point when I order. I highly recommend their Salmon and Fish biriyani. It comes with a lovely yogurt sauce that pairs well with the rice. The rice and fish are well seasoned and it's enough portions to have leftovers the next day. The service is pretty quick but when I've gone it's not crazy busy so I've been fortunate. It's a nice casual spot to dine in on a date, with friends or by yourself!“
“Great food, we ordered 2 starters and 2 entrée and they all were very flavourful. Chicken tikka pizza was good and so was the veg biryani. Biryani items were not present in menus or I wasn’t able to see them but the server helped us with it. We asked for extra hot and they made it well, try extra hot only it you can withstand it else go for mild or medium. And yes, all entrées is served along with white rice.They have few types of Indian beers priced reasonably at $6-$7 range.Overall, the place though is small it has good food and priced well.Vegetarian options: Veg Korma, Paneer tikka masala, lentil soup, veg pakora, veg biryani.“
“I ordered delivery and we were pleasantly surprised at the large portions. I ordered pakoras, a curry and the aloo gobi. My husband and I could only eat half of it, so we will have another meal out of it. The pakoras were really hot even though I ordered mild, and vice versa for the chicken curry, but it was so good, I'm still giving them five stars.“
“The food is so soo delicious????. The best Indian taste food I have ever ate in the United States ??. I love this place the environment is very calm and peaceful very good place with slow music songs?. Every visit of mine to Washington DC I always go to this place with my husband ?. Also the workers are very polite and helpful. I recommend others to visit this best food place in Washington DC.?“
“You know when they say, "Hole in the walls have the best food." This is definitely true about this place. You would not expect delicious Indian cuisine from a chicken and waffle take out, but boy is it good. Love the chicken Biryani and their whole wings. Just plain good fast food, at a reasonable price with large portions enough for leftovers. .“
“In a quaint town, a hidden gem does rest,An authentic Nepalese culinary quest.Terrific flavors, a feast so divine,With prices so low, it feels like a find.Quality so high, yet the cost stays slight,Service prompt and friendly, every bite a delight.Always accommodating, a staff so keen,Guiding new palates to tastes unseen.If Nepalese cuisine is what you seek,This place offers a peak.A journey of flavors, a guide so true,A dining experience that feels brand new.“
“One of the tastiest Indian restaurants in the area!!! The owner Bokech (I really hope I spelled his name right if not I am so sorry!) is so kind and really cares about his customers and giving them great food! Every dish I’ve tried here is fantastic and I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a good late night bite :)“
“During my trip from NYC to Washington DC, I stumbled upon a fantastic Indian restaurant. I ordered the Gosht Biryani and Lassi, and both were delicious. The prices were reasonable, and the service was quick and friendly. The food was served hot and fresh, making mine meal even more enjoyable. If you're in DC and craving Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit.“
“Vegetarian options: Go spread. 50% menu has veg options. 4 star as we felt both Paneer Makhni and Veg Korma are sweet. Even Raitha is sweet. Veg Korma and Biryani has lot of big carrot pieces which is a turn off. Biryani portion is ok. Indian Spicy food dishes felt sweet, so didn't order any desserts at the end :) I would recommend staff could ask for spice levles while taking orders at least when they know the customers are Indian.“
“I found this small Indian restaurant while visiting Howard University on a Saturday afternoon to referee rugby match. They have a very large menu with all of the Indian basics. Even though I was alone, the food smelled so good that I decided to order 3 entrees to go. I ordered the Salt and Pepper Special combination, which came with a generous pile of different meats, including some chewy sausage-like things, some spicy lamb, and some excellent tandoori chicken (the meat was accompanied by some chickpeas in a sauce and spinach with cheese cubes in it). I also ordered a lamb vindaloo and a dal makhani (lentils). Both were excellent, but they are not joking when they say that their vindaloo is spicy -- it made me cry on at least two of the occasions I ate some of it (still have leftovers sitting in the refrigerator for tonight). The rice and the naan were also excellent. Total bill was just over $60.“
“Friendly service and delicious food. I came in for dinner early on a Monday. I was welcomed in and promptly seated by a window in the bar, which is a cute area- colorful pillows and a comfy bench sit against the wall. The food itself was hot and delicious. I got the chicken tikka makhani and garlic naan. I wasn't asked spice level, and it was definitely milder than I'm used to, but great flavor. I'm sure they would have accommodated if you like it really spicy (I personally don't like to set my tongue ablaze, so I was good). The portion was just right for me to finish everything with no leftovers and be perfectly full. Definitely would go back for quality Indian food!“
“Jyoti Indian Cuisine is by far one of the best traditional Indian cuisine restaurant in the DC area. As soon you walk in you are greeted with a vibrant atmosphere from the Indian/ modern music playing from the flat screen TV & surrounding speakers, to the painted murals + intricate trinkets hanging on the brick wall, & and warm hospitality from the employees.Our server Madeen was amicable & super helpful in explaining the items on the menu. We started off with the vegetable platter appetizer and included a trio of sauces; tamarind, mango chutney, green chutney. My personal favorite was the mango chutney, with a sweet, pungent spicy kick to it however all of them are rich in flavor. The drinks were great as well, would recommend getting the Alabama Slammer & Mai Tai.As our main course we ordered one of the most popular dishes recommended, the Tandoor Red Snapper along with the Lamb Seekh Kabob and Chicken Biriyani & choose mild as our preferred spice. We also had a side order of a yogurt sauce called Cucumber Raita & Garlic Naan. Not only was the presentation spotless, I kid you not every bite of those dishes did not disappoint. From the creaminess of the sauce served in the lamb, fish was grilled to perfection, & chicken biriyani was also tasty because the rice was blended with these aromatic spices that I am still trying to figure out! Flavors so complex yet it enriches your palette. The Garlic Naan came out fresh and hot, & just paired so well with the refreshing Cucumber Raita.I had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Shiva & I love how hands on he is within the restaurant & his employees. It truly was a lovely experience & definitely would come back to try out their vegetarian options!Vegetarian options: Dishes consisting of potatoes, lentils, basmati rice, samosas.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Vegetarian options“
“Went here for carryout because I needed something late night this Ramadan and the biryani got high reviews. Well deserved and the vegetable pakoras are so good I can't even believe it. I'm only in town for the weekend but I'm tempted to go back at least once.“
“Needed a quick lunch so had to stop on by. I got the their Chicken Tikka Masala which had large chunks of juicy chicken. The curry was decent, not the best I've had, but still very good for a fast meal. Hits the spot when craving Indian food.“
“I took my significant other for their birthday. We were seated quickly by a wonderful server named Sarah. She was energetic and very happy to help us with our dietary restrictions. Thanks to her recommendations, we enjoyed an amazing Railway Lamb Curry that has just the right amount of heat to it and the Bhareli Wangi (eggplant) dish that was full of amazing flavors. The other people that worked with Sarah were also quick to check on us, refill our drinks, and assist in providing a very enjoyable experience. We will be back again. Thank you to everyone there, especially you Sarah.Dietary restrictions: This is the first restaurant that I've been to that has a gluten free rotti. (Missi rotti on the menu)“
“Enjoyed RASA opening day in Crystal City, Arlington, National Landing location. Many dining options with classic bowls and DIY selections. Food is superb and inexpensive, staff is fast, efficient and friendly. Start off with cocktails, blended with masala, cardamom, tamarind. Try the masala chai soft serve. Look forward to return visits, best wishes for continued success.“
“Rasa literally means, taste, flavor, sap, or juice. This is a Beautiful Indian restaurant with great authentic Indian spices in the food. The food was delicious.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options. Stop by and check out the menu.“
“Absolutely incredible food, decent value, and cool location (not too far from the capitol building). My wife and I shared the Chicken Tikka Misala & Butter Chicken. The Tikka Misala is slightly spicy, but both were incredible. Highly recommend adding on the garlic naan too for only $4!Parking: Limited parking on streets depending on time of day“
“Wow! I was not expecting this place to be that good. I ordered the samosas, chicken makahni, garlic Naan, large rice, seekh kebab, and the Mango lassey. The rice was so fluffy and EVERYTHING was so fragrant and flavorful. I came in close to closing time, but the food quality was definitely not impacted. You can tell everything was fresh. I loved the spiciness of the chicken makahni. The craziest thing is ive lived next to this place for years and never knew it existed. I will be back!“
“I quite enjoyed the chicken biryani ($20.90, tax included). The presentation was novel with naan as a bowl cover, which was then cut off to expose the biryani. It had generous tender chunks of chicken and I’m glad they did not shy away from the spices. The interior had a good contrast of the dark wood and the colorful mural-like wall coverings.“
“I ate here tonight it was my first time eating Indian food and I was a visitor to DC I must say it is one of the best meals I've ever eaten in my life it was so delicious everything was so fresh I ate the whole bowl that's how good it was“
“This is hands down the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in the DC area. Service was outstanding, employees were friendly and gave amazing recommendations. If you are in the area, this place is a must. Do yourself a favor and eat here.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options.“
