50 Best Indian Restaurants near Langley Park

“I went there after two months and I was disappointed that the thali does not offer theain dish anymore. I loved the thali in the past and brouyso many new customers. Hope you bring the thali (so that we can order our own dish extra spicy) for you. You can take away yogurt and one other item but you must have the main dish back. Thank you.“

“Good food and good service“

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛“

“Food was really good and the staff were very friendly. Curries were very good! My dad went three times last year and then returned twice this summer as he loved it so much.
Curry spice is done as as you like it.
Meals are very filling and worth the money.
Convenient as it is right beside the metro station and open 11am to 10pm.“

“My work splurged on us a lunch for us consisting of the Rasa Tantori Tasting Bundle. This meal is advertised as feeding 10 people, I think they are underselling just how much food you get. Were 10 extremely hungry people and then we were 10 very satisfied and perhaps overly full people a few minutes later, with food to spare! Nothing was particularly spicy, there was a little heat on one of the dishes, but nothing crazy. The variety of food is well balanced. Chicken, tofu, saffron rice, Greens, salads, chickpeas and curry with 2 chutneys, even dessert cookies! I recommend this meal if you are looking for an easy way to order a variety of food in one go that can feed 10 hungry, or 14 less hungry people. Especially if any of them are cautious about trying Indian. It was delicious well made. Not to mention conveniently delivered.“

“I've never had a better meal in my life. This is THE only restaurant to completely blow my mind in any genre, start to finish. Impeccable service, ambiance, and quality.“

“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.“

“Delicious!!! Some of the best Indian food in town“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“I had a fantastic experience at Herbivore! I ordered the butter chicken along with both garlic naan and plain naan, and everything was absolutely delicious. The butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the naan was fresh, soft, and the perfect complement to the meal. Every bite was enjoyable, and the quality of the food really stood out. Definitely a 10/10 experience—I’ll be coming back for more!“

“This was such a lovely dinner! We came to celebrate my dad’s birthday and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us with a little dessert and a candle. They were so sweet and all smiles the whole dinner. Prices were more than reasonable and we enjoyed everything we ate! Highly recommend! Our server was Carson, btw—super kind!“

“This was our first time at Spice Street. We were thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and absolutely by the food! The staff was very friendly! We absolutely recommend this restaurant!!“

“feel home even far from home good food and service ❤️👍“

“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!“

“It was my first time there. Food was great. I would definitely return.“

“From the moment me and my girlfriend walked in the door we were greeted politely, seated and felt we made a good choice. When the food hit our table it was clear we made a GREAT choice. The goat briyani and Goat bhuna were AMAZING. 5 stars! Would give 6 if I could!“

“Had such an amazing meal here last night. The food was top notch. The service amazing and I could tell that they wanted to provide a great dining experience. They seemed to really care about the food they were presenting. I appreciate that A LOT!!!!......And the food was just sooo good!“

“Never thought to stop in until now--after five years in Woodley Park, we've found our spot for weekend brunch/buffet!“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“I went to Rasika for my anniversary. The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. They gave us a complimentary dessert and champagne for our anniversary which made our experience even more special. I would highly recommend Rasika!“

“Tikka serves fresh, flavorful food made with quality ingredients. Everything we ordered tasted well balanced and didn’t feel overly oily or heavy, which made the meal feel healthier than many similar places.

The momos were easily the highlight. They were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering.

The only drawback is the pricing. It’s a bit expensive in general, but the quality of the food makes up for it. Overall, it’s a solid place if you’re looking for fresh, tasty food, and I’d definitely order the momos again.“

“Rania was an incredible experience. It truly felt like a culinary journey of fine dining with traditional Indian food. Such a wonderful experience and service was impeccable. I envy those who have yet to try Rania for the first time as it was a lovely adventure.“

“Great food Butter chicken was particularly good“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best in town for food and drinks.“

“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“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“I ordered a number of biryani’s and my guests and I loved them. On May 11, 2024, I ordered the fish biryani and I can assure you it the best I have eaten for a long time. Would recommend this restaurant.“

“So very happy that the buffet is back on Friday afternoons. Had a fabulous lunch, great salad, terrific entree choices and attentive service. I recommend everyone to drop in and partake of some seriously tasty food!“

“Their food is amazing, the atmosphere of the place is really cool. It looks very nice decorated. They have different kind of Naans. You know an indian restaurant is good when the chef is from India. And this is one of those. Come and enjoy! 😊🤤“

“If you’re in the Laurel or Baltimore, Maryland area, you have to try the Butter Chicken Pizza at Bella Indian & Italian Cuisine. It may sound like an unusual combination, but it is absolutely incredible. The perfect blend of Indian flavors and Italian pizza makes it one of the best and most unique pizzas I’ve ever had.

We placed our order to go, but we loved the atmosphere the moment we walked in to pick it up. The restaurant was warm, inviting, and had a great vibe. We’ll definitely be dining in the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended!“

“I just had my 2nd absolutely DELICIOUS Indian dinner at Virraaj on Cordell. My husband noticed what he thought was a new restaurant across from the public parking last week so we went there for our Wednesday date nite. We went earlyish and only a couple other tables were taken when we arrived but by the time we left at 6:30 ish it was just about full so best to make reservations. Even with many diners, it was still easy to talk to each other and be heard. I started w/ the AAM Palak Chaat appetizer which I had first tasted at Rasika and have ordered every time I have seen it on a menu. Definitely rivaled Rasika's and the portion was big enough to share w/ my husband as an appetizer. My main was the Murgh Bahak/ Kadai Chicken. So tender, so tasty with onion and green and red bell peppers, delicious brown sauce w/ terrific spices plus a little spicy kick. I ate as much as I could and still had left overs for 2 lunches at home. My husband ordered a lamb dish he enjoyed and finished every morsel including the rice. I saw some reviewers would have liked more rice. We had plenty with our meals so maybe they are giving more w/ each dinner. The waiter was attentive, professional, courteous and nice. The restaurant itself was classy & beautifully appointed - you could tell someone put a great deal of thought and money into designing it. This week we had friends visit who live in VA, within walking distance to Clarendon. We always go there for Indian food because there are so many good Indian restaurants to choose from but they were excited to try Virraaj from our comments about how much we enjoyed it. Before ordering takeout, I called and spoke to Jenni 3 times because I wanted to order what I had ordered last week but couldn't remember the name. She could not have been kinder or more patient in helping me figure out that it was the Kadhai Chicken. It may not seem like it from this review but I am a picky eater - happy to pay any price (just about ) for good food but am too often disappointed in Bethesda. Virraag got the highest marks on everything important to me: service, food, and ambiance - all of us enjoyed our meals and noone was disappointed. We ordered pickup for 4 main dishes including my fav Murgh Bahak/Kadai Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tawa Masala and Hariyal Murgh Tikka, naan and roti. All went on 2 big lazy susans on the dining room table and we kept on spinning, tasting and enjoying. The wife of the other couple always orders the Butter Chicken and kept on saying how moist and delicious the chicken was tonight. We all tried and liked everything - - not one complaint. So glad that we have a great Indian restaurant to go to and take friends to and not worry that anyone is not going to enjoy -- it is that good!“

“We had a great experience at RASA in Washington, DC. We ordered the Chicken Tikka and Lamb Kebab bowls, and both were delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the meat was flavorful, tender, and moist. The bowls were well balanced, with plenty of flavor in every bite. A great option for fresh, healthy Indian food in DC.“

“At first we were a little surprised to be eating in a Days Inn -- and Al-Madani is unassuming atmospherically. However, the food was flavorful and delicious (aloo palak, lamb tikka kabobs, garlic naan), and the staff were wonderfully kind and caring. I feel like this is a hidden gem and hope many more people find them and that they get lots of business!“

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!“

“Great Indian-Nepalese restaurant in Bethesda. Ordered the chicken Biryani along with Chili chicken and garlic naan. The Biryani was well prepared and fresh. The chili chicken had an abundance of flavor. It wasn't too spicy either. Our server was very kind and gracious. Will come back next time I'm between Baltimore and DC.Best food and best service“

“Great place to have food and/or snacks. To get there is little tricky. It’s behind the spy museum and right beside the staircase. Also wish the closing time was more extended. Deb is great and takes of customers well. Overall food is wonderful.“

“The food is amazing! I highly recommend everything!!“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Delicious and fast. Chipotle-style health Indian food. Great vegan option: tucked at the side of the menu is a vegan bowl for $13.50. It’s all the vegan sides on brown rice or noodle, but it did include protein. One of the sides is beans! Lovely staff and nice tables. Nowhere to charge laptop fyi.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A Hidden Gem for Biryani Lovers! Curry and Pie is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited! Their chicken and lamb biryani are absolutely phenomenal perfectly spiced, incredibly flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every bite.“

“delicious food“

“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.“

“Delicious food, resonable price for Bethesda, and even better service. The restaurant is clean and the decor is updated. If you need dairy-free Indian food, the staff will go out of your way to make food with coconut milk instead of cow milk. There are also a number of gluten-free items on the menu. They can either serve heavily-buttered roti or roti without butter. Both options are delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I live in VA, but love to try different food. My second time here, because food was great. The girl serving was super too. Was not busy the time I was eating. 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.“

“During our trip to Washington, D.C., we had a lovely meal at Jab We Met. The proprietor was so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The food was excellent, with delicious Aloo Gobi and comforting Saag Paneer that hit just the right spot. The mango lassi was delightfully smooth and sweet, and the iced tea was light and refreshing. It was an enjoyable dining stop on our travels!“

“Me & my family had a fantastic experience at Bollywood Bistro in the Ballston Quarter food court. It is easily one of the best spots in the area for a quick yet high-quality meal.
​We tried a variety of dishes, and everything was spot on:
​Bombay Shrimp: Perfectly seasoned and a great start to the meal.
​Chicken Seekh Kebab: Juicy, flavorful, and charred just right.
​Lamb Bowl: Tender meat with a great balance of spices—very filling!
​Chicken Biryani: Fragrant and authentic, exactly what you want in a good biryani.
​Beyond the food, the staff were very courteous and nice, making the whole experience even better. If you’re at Ballston Quarter and craving Indian food that actually packs a punch, this is the place to go!“

“I had the lunch today and the variety of dishes and the tastiness of the food were excellent. Highly recommend this great Indian restaurant.“

“Had a very delicious meal yesterday with some friends. The food, service and ambience were top notch. Interesting cocktails too. They have done some renovations which give the place a very youthful and vibrant look. I will definitely be 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!“

“Excellent food and service.“
