40 Best Indian Restaurants near Rockville

“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.“

“We randomly stopped by this restaurant and ordered one vegetarian thali and one non-vegetarian thali. Both were delicious, with the flavors and spice level perfectly balanced. The ambience was pleasant and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience and would definitely love to visit again!“

“This is the absolute best Indian food I have ever had. I have been going to this restaurant for over 5 years, and I have never been disappointed. Wonderful restaurant and owner, Louis, who is very personable and professional. The food is always delicious, from the entrees to the samosas and garlic naan! Other Indian Cuisine restaurants, in the Metropolitan area, do not even come close!“

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“food is fantastic and everyone there is great. accommodating and great service!“

“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“

“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.“

“My favorite Indian joint within tolerable distance. Thank you for the extras on my large pick-up order. It was much appreciated! However, their claim that Chicken Tikka Masala is from the Indian subcontinent was NOT up for intellectual debate. They simply replied, “if it’s good it doesn’t matter.” This is the only instance in my life where I can recall where cultural appropriation was followed on with de-cultural appropriation. Just a thought that is not meant to be negative, but are the origins of Chicken Tikka Masala disputed? Inquiring minds want to know…and attempting to open up this discussion was not met as to satisfy lingering questions. I still love you.“

“Delicious Indian food. Lots of options and combinations!“

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

“Excellent food and service.“

“We had dinner at the restaurant and everything was great. The restaurant has a cool vibe and the food was delicious. They have the Indian Thali options and serves a good quantity of food for one person. I totally loved the Kheer. I recommend the restaurant for good Indian food.“

“Delicious and authentic Indian food, freshly prepared. Our favorite in NOVA“

“May be the best Bangladeshi food in the DMV. Biriyani, Tehari, Haleem, Kabab, Fish/Chicken /beef curry are great. Very good Iftar selection as well.“

“I've always had a positive dining experience at Kadhai, been coming here for probably a decade now. Tried their lunch buffet for the first time today. Delicious okra and lentils, creamy and flavorful butter chicken, generous offerings for a very reasonable cost.“

“Excellent food, authentic flavors, and outstanding service. Everything was fresh, delicious, and served with care. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Highly recommend this woodland’s restaurant—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Quality food and good service“

“Absolutely love their food and the samosas are to die for!!“

“Very good benefit of this place is they close quite late (until 1 am). That's good for night people who just get off work or feel hungry late night. Many interesting Indian and Nepalese food choices. I ordered take-out Chicken Saag, Chicken Biryani and Garlic Naan. They might not the best Indian dish that I have ever had before, but I can say, the food was fine and has a standard taste that supposed to be. (the flavor is fairly mild) The restaurant building condition seem hidden and aged. There are some seating tables are available inside, that is clean and organized anyway. They have free parking behind the restaurant, but it is quite narrow and limited especially day time.“

“We celebrated Diwali here this evening and they were extremely accommodating as we had 28 people. They treated us like family and the food was excellent. They had a Diwali special Masala coke that everyone enjoyed so much. Special thanks to Dinisha who was an excellent host and took care of everything, so thankful for her. Wonderful time had by all and will definitely plan other events at Madras Palace.“

“The food was genuinely a 10/10. I ordered doro wat definitely recommend. We ordered our dishes and then came out within 15 minutes very fast. The customer service was good and the vibes and energy was good as well, mind this was on a Tuesday at 10pm. Definitely check this plate out.

Also on of the ladies was really sweet in helping dishing out my food. I felt very welcomed 🥰“
