“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.“

“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!“

“Great ambience, flavorful food. Linda was very helpful with the menu. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite spots. I order from them regularly (Cameron Station). The Pork Belly and Sesame Tofu are to die for! the Lamb Dumplings also are very good. The Kale Chaat is excellent, and the Lamb Biryani was spicy. delicious and enough for luch the next day after 3 people ate off of it! Will definitely be checking out their $12 bowls! the Indochen in Old Town was too nice! Lamb Josh Rogan was good but I'll stick to the Biryani or try the Vindaloo next!“

“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“

“Great food and Barman !! It is a great place“

“I just ordered Oh! Naan for the first time and I am very impressed! The chicken masala (medium spice) was delicious. The spice level was spot on and the overall flavor was fantastic. The chicken pieces were all tinder and the portion was very large. I also had garlic naan (which I got buy one get one free). It was soft and warm with the perfect amount of garlic and butter.

I ordered the food on an app for pick up so I can’t speak to the atmosphere, but the food was ready quickly, packaged well, and the ladies who helped me during pick up were very friendly. The food was still very warm and fresh even after my ten minute walk home.

I’ll totally eat here again, and would recommend others trying it out“

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

“We ordered enough food for five people. The lamb shank and lamb chops were great. I didn't fully like the vegetarian options. Forgot to take pictures of the main course and appetizers. Though the desserts were awesome except for the gulap jamun.“

“Bollywood masala is a must-visit! We started with the vegetable pakora, perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor, followed by the light and fluffy vegan roti and shrimp kabob, which was tender and perfectly spiced! The yellow dal was rich and packed with flavor. To finish, we had the kheer - also heavenly. The service was superb, and Raj, the owner, was the most gracious host. We can’t wait to return for another incredible meal! Highly recommend!“

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

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

The food is phenomenal and the customer service is great. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, like family. The gourmet food is great and they also have take out specials.“

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

“best Indian restaurant in old town. Chicken tika masala is the best.“

“Yummy! Several of us got takeout from Masala Story this past Friday night. We were at a club a few blocks away that served no food at all and discovered Masala Story on a google search. Masala Story had options for both meat eaters and non meat eaters. My husband had chicken tikka masala and I had paneer korma. We both enjoyed our food immensely. Each of our meals came with chickpeas and a helping of fluffy basmati rice. Big portions - I could barely finish mine! This was excellent, flavorful food. The naan was delicious! We'll definitely go back the next time we're in the neighborhood!“

“During my recent visit to an authentic Indian restaurant, I had an incredibly delightful experience. The food served was exceptionally fresh and made with great care, lending it a truly homemade flavor. The variety of flavors in each dish was absolutely outstanding, and I found myself thoroughly impressed. I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit - it has definitely earned an A+ rating in my book!“

“stumbled across this place and it was a hidden gem. The food was delicious. I had a spicy chicken dish and my son had a spicy lamb dish with garlic naan bread. very good“

“The most delicious, authentic Indian food served by a most gracious gentleman. The Nan, of which there are several choices, was warm and buttery. The homemade cheese was exceptionally delicious. Another diner had butter chicken and was raving at how tender the chicken was. And the samosas were wonderful. Everything at our table was a 10 out of 10. Treat yourself, dine at this wonderful restaurant!“

“delicious authentic Indian food. Large menu both vegetarian and meats. Staff was incredible, attentive and kind. 10/10“

“Like Indian foods and Bangladeshi flyovers“

“We had a nice experience. We came before our reserved time, but they were nice to accommodate us. Very chilled vibes, relaxed modern Indian dine. They food hit the spot, very delicious and comforting. I fell in love with Naan. One of the best naan I ever had. The drinks were top notch as well. My husband reviews Drinks crafted to perfection. It's was good to meet the bartender. I appreciate the efforts of chef. House made Rose ice cream was very delicious. I loved it. The staff was very welcoming and interacted nicely, checked on us from time to time.“

“Great Indian food. We found them on Google and ordered takeout two nights. Everything outstanding. People very friendly. Lamb curry and palak paneer and naan and chickpeas were perfectly prepared. They would get 6 stars for food quality, if it was possible.“

“Visiting DC with family and they mostly prefer Indian food. Went out of our way, stumbled across this place and we’re so glad we did. Generous portions, best butter chicken (perfectly sized tandoori chicken pieces in creamy sauce) I’ve had in the USA, the cucumber and tomato topping adds the perfect crunch, freshly baked naan and overall, quite reasonably priced for the DC area. Everything tasted so fresh. I wish they got more business. Highly recommend to give them a try :)“

“I had a lamb biryani and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in DC so far. I got the medium level spice and it was absolutely perfect!! A great portion of meat in it too- great sized. Pankaj was very helpful and welcoming, and made sure everything came out fast! Definitely try this place!!!“

“Some of the best Indian cuisine we've had in quite awhile. To add to the experience are the great prices & very friendly service. Best wishes & we'll certainly be back for more!“

“7/30/24 - something changed! (in the neighborhood ?). Their everything bowl now includes all 3 meat options! Yay! 4 stars for sure!

----------
Good portions, good food, good price. Service is friendly and quick. Ambiance is mall food court, with lots of energy and people moving about. The taste, though, isn't as flavorful as I would expect from Indian food, and while they have 2 choices of meats, they could be more generous with the servings.“

“Amazing!! 10/10!! Stopped in for a quick bite before a Nationals game, will definitely be planning on doing the exact same thing again!!“

“Rania delivers a slow burn of culinary delight. While the initial courses were good, they steadily improved, culminating in a truly exceptional Hay-Aged Rohan Duck Vindaloo. The Chocolate Tart with Masala Chai ice cream provided a perfect, memorable finish. A strong recommendation for those seeking a nuanced and elevated Indian dining experience.“

“Always a dependably solid meal. The folks working here are super friendly and do a great job. And they have good music playing, but it’s not too loud where you can’t have a conversation.

Vegetarian options: They have as many vegetarian main options (paneer, sweet potatoes, cauliflower) as they do other proteins.“

“delicious food“

“I work right across the street and my coworkers and I order food from here constantly! The chicken tikka masala is better than I’ve ever had, butter chicken is also amazing. The food is always fresh and amazing! Great grocery selection too.“

“This was my first time there and the experience was amazing!!! Food was really delicious. Our server made several recommendations and were really good. Their service is excellent and prompt. Will definitely be going there again. It's bit expensive but definitely worth it.“

“I truly, truly enjoyed myself here! After growing accustomed to enjoying Indian dishes at a restaurant located outside my dorm at Yale University over the summer, I was determined to find a local restaurant in the area. Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, delicious buffet for lunch! Quite a peaceful experience!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options!“

“Great food and ambiance.“

“We found raaga by accident and ever since it has been our favorite local Indian restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious! I end up ordering 4-5 dishes so that we will have leftovers and the naan is better than anywhere else we’ve been. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint“

“Went there with my family since two of us are gluten sensitive. Healthy food served in a warm atmosphere, with fun variety beyond your standard Indian Restaurant. Fast service, Easy to eat gluten free with many choices, and reasonable prices. Definitely a favorite of mine and one kid, so it is pretty darn good. Ate here two days in a row!!!

Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options!“

“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.“

“I used to order from here a minimum of once a month. Butter chicken has been garbage last three orders. Tastes like cheap tomato sauce. Like the canned spaghetti-o level of cheap, too sweet, and over processed. May try again in a few months. But miss the quality, great staff, and on point flavors.“

“Friendly staff, inviting atmosphere and the BEST for buffet lunch after an early day at the National Zoo.“

“Great food friendly staff very friendly and welcoming“
