“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.“

“We are in town for a concert and we came across this gem. The reviews were good so we decided to check them out. The staff was very friendly, nice, & attentive. They made sure we were ok. The food (chicken wing appetizer, chicken chili, lamb chops entree, & lamb vindaloo) was seasoned very well, arrived fresh, and hot. If you’re in the area stop by. Let’s me also mention that the food portions were good and it’s reasonably priced.“

“Tasty, vegetarian, cheap eats! I appreciated the presentation (even in paper plates) it feels like street food. Presentation and the restaurant were super clean.
Mutter Paneer and Rajma are super creamy and delish. The basmati rice was the real basmati, and hit the spot.
Service was very snappy and the minimalist dining room comfortable.
We will come back for cheap dinner.

Vegetarian options: Try Rajma, kidney bean dish, this was my first and it was great.“

“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!“

“The food at Masala Story is the worth the trip. We’ve tried many indian restaurants and it always is compared back to Masala Story. The food is high quality and delicious, the atmosphere is comfortable and casual and the staff is kind. Prices are a little higher than average but well worth it. We make an effort to visit whenever we’re back in DC and it’s always a delight.“

“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“

“I eat a lot of Indian food and here I was both surprised by the menu and delighted by what was on my plate. The food sooo tasty. They take even a simple plate of minced scrambled eggs to new levels. I wash it down with their deliciously spicy chai. It’s my new favorite place to get lunch when I’m in the office.“

“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“

“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.“

“There is no better Indian food for hungry people! They held and seated us, a 10 person party, until the end of the restaurant hours with cheer.

Reasonably priced for sharing food, and you’ll want to get a bit of everything. The crackling spinach has such a unique tamarind flavor, it is a must try.

We come here after a lot of our New Morning Farm farmer’s markets, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!!“

“Very good food and the manager Mr. Louis Anand is very pleasant and courteous. I tried their weekend specials and regular menu items and the food is delicious. I frequently dine in this restaurant. And I recommend this restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Thalia meals, vegetables curries and side dishes.“

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

“We had a party of 9 show up as walk in. They accommodated us very easily. Our party has various dietary preferences and they were very attentive.

The chaat / appetizers were the best. Wish we ordered more of that.

The service was great. They were very attentive to us. Quick to rectify any issue. And unexpectedly had great group photo taking skills.“

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

“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!“

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

“Hands-down the BEST chef taster experience we have ever had. Each dish only got better, the perfect balance of flavor and uniqueness. Welcoming, friendly, attentive service, Soji was absolutely amazing and the best. Highly recommend and hope to visit again.“

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

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

“Great food Butter chicken was particularly good“

“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!“

“The bone-in chicken hyderbadi biryani was excellent. Tasted authentic. Just a warning that the Indian spice levels are real. The goat sukka could have been much softer but it was flavorful. I wish the seating situation was better at this place. That being said the biryani was amazing.“

“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!“

“The most perfect place of its kind. Awesome food paired with even better owners. This isn't hyperbole: The best student eatery in Georgetown. I started coming last year after they reopened and fell in love. Its an eatery, so don't expect large-restraunt ambience, but the food is delectable.

I've eaten most items on the menu alongside my friends (fellow Georgetown students who similarly love this place), and each is amazing. The naan is nothing special, but their entrees never disappoint. The portion sizes satisfy gluttons like myself without compromising quality. Aside from their masalas (chicken tikka is my cliche favorite), their appetizers are a hidden gem. In particular, I advise samosa chaat, which comes with a shockingly delicious mint chutney.

I've watched this place rapidly become a fixture for Georgetown students and the city at large. Open late on weekends for hungry students and manned by a friendly, dedicated staff, my out-of-town guests can expect to eat here at least once during their stay.

Vegetarian options: Its Indian. Duh.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“A friend of mine recommended to try Indian express and boy was he right! I dined in, Kumar was on top of me explaining the food and always checking up. Their shrimp Biryani Was fantastic . Reasonably priced, spiced and delicious. Great customer service. Bring cash if you’d like a 10% discount off. I am looking forward to their buffet in the future. Definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you, Indian Express!“

“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.“

“I enjoyed RASA wraps to-go for a tubing adventure in Harper’s Ferry and it was the perfect lunchtime treat!! I was amazed how well the wraps traveled and held up in a freezer bag. The flavor was incredible and they were easy to eat during our outdoor activities. I would highly recommend RASA wraps for an easy and delicious group lunch!“

“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, friendly staff, and wonderful atmosphere! Love the big outdoor deck for socially distanced dining :)“

“Love to sit at the bar. The Manager is such a great guy! He plays amazing music each time I’ve been in, and the food is wonderful!! He works so hard— I am amazed and inspired by his work ethic!!“

“Very sweet, loving, down to Earth owners and staff.Loved the vibe of the Restaurant (felt like we reached an Indian shop). Fresh food, great tea. Loved the Vada Pav, A must try. The Gobhi Parantha and Aloo Tikki was okayish. There are so many sweets too, which they prepare at the place. The kachoris are good.At least one should try this place once (SPECIALLY THE INDIANS , COME ON)“

“From someone who never writes reviews: We love this place and are lucky to have it close by! Delicious food, we have never been disappointed and start to eat the hot fresh naan in the car (unless its too fresh and hot ?) Family run, very friendly. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“
