“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the magnificent Onam Sadya. Ever since moving to the United States, I have never compromised on this sacred tradition—each year, I take days off to painstakingly prepare every single dish from scratch, even growing my own banana plants just to harvest the leaves. Because I know firsthand the immense, exhaustive labor that a true Sadya demands, I understand completely that my joy this year came at the expense of your own tireless hard work.For the first time in years, you granted me the rare, beautiful gift of simply sitting down to enjoy the feast. The Sadya items balanced flavors so perfectly that every bite tasted of home. Thank you for taking on such a monumental task and delivering on time.

Wishing the Essence Team a very happy Onam.“

“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.“

“The best Punjabi food in DC. G.O.A.T Room brings the rich flavors of Punjabi/ Indian food here to DMV. They have every dish (fish, goat meat, naan,butter chicken) that I tried there…the BEST that I ever had. I had tried over 100 of restaurants in DMV and no one can beat this. Punjabi food is known for its rich and buttery flavors and G.O.A.T Room uses only fresh spices and herbs, such as turmeric cloves, ginger, and garlic. The owner, Bobby has created an extraordinary dining experience that brings this special food and culture right to DC. Bobby will visit your table and discuss your meal and personally thank you for coming in. He made a wonderful suggestions of food and drinks.. we were amazed with that selections. Butter chicken has a creamy gravy made of onions, yogurt, seeds, and did not disappoint. The goat meat was the best I’ve ever eaten. Naan and everything was perfect and not too oily at all. The portions are good sized and the presentation is exceptional. The atmosphere is lovely with authentic decor, and smartly set tables but mostly it’s the staff’s hospitality that amazed us. Bobby and his team has accomplished what they have set out to do and that is to bring the best food to the people of DMV. With the rich flavors, fresh, spices, freshest yogurt, and love and care in every dish- they have succeeded. Will be making more trips to DC just for their yummy food! Highly recommended. 10 stars. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

After reading reviews, I wonder where people normally eat as most restaurants have a charge for sharing if they let you all. I like the quiet atmosphere to relax. Nice to be able to have a glass of wine & do that. The manager was super friendly too.“

The lady was really courteous and the food was great 👍 We enjoyed the meal and a bunch of thanks to the lady, manager and the whole staff of Jab we met👏 Thank you 🙏“

“My girlfriend and I finally tried the exciting restaurant Chai Pani. There were three people standing at the front desk. They were friendly and solution based. Getting us an area to order cocktails while we waited for a high top table. Obviously no one likes waiting when they are excited to experience the hype so that attentiveness of the staff helped smooth the wait over. I had the lamb shank. It was fall off the bone tender. A very savory dish and a lot to share between two people. I accompanied the lamb shank with the white rice which was cocked perfectly. It has cumin in it no burnt pieces of rice. The cocktails were excellent the tamarind margarita not sugary but a good amount of sweet. Be careful they go down smooth. The aloo tikki chaat AMAZING well balanced between savory, spice and the sauce gives a little relief with sweet to make that spice level behave. Was not a fan of the naan reminded me of pita bread. Overall great experience will definitely go back.“
