47 Best Indian Restaurants near Annandale

“A home-y “hole in the wall” place with good food and sweets. Don’t let this place’s looks throw you off. The AYCE/buffet is $13.99 and you serve yourself then pay after. The honesty system is strong! During our meal, the workers let us try different sauces and explained the options.

I don’t know the names very well but I had: rice with chickpeas, the “stewed” chicken, tandoori chicken, chickpeas, and eggplant. The eggplant and stewed chicken were my favorite! The meats are all SOOOO tender. We also ordered the Naan and it was the freshest we’ve had!

We ended with dessert from the buffet. It was Gulab and soooo good! It was sweet and perfect to end the meal.

Afterwards, one of the workers was so kind as to explain what each dessert was and the flavors. He let us try one of them for free. And then when I ended up picking 2 other desserts, he gifted them because we were new to the place!!!

Service was great!

Would definitely come back!“

“After a full day of walking, we wanted something comforting for dinner. We’d seen reviews for Dakshin Indique and decided to give it a shot, even though it meant a 40-minute drive on a rainy Tuesday night. Honestly, it was worth it.

We ordered the Paneer Biryani, Chicken 65, and Chicken Biryani. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and had the right amount of spice—not overwhelming, just satisfying. Even though we’re only visiting DC, we’d definitely come back.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“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!!“

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.“

Treat yourself, dine at this wonderful restaurant!“

“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!“

“Nice evening ambiance. Very clean restaurant. The food was great, so was the service. We happened to have two waiters serving us, very plaisant. It looks like a team effort. We liked that ?. The food came on time. we went with the safest dish, ? Chicken Tikka Massala, milld for sure. Really enjoyed our dinner. Although there was one tall guy, not sure about his role. He was the odd one, ? . He came to our table maybe twice, did not like his energy, he was just a bit off, kind of rudish. But we did not let him ruin our night.“

“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.“

“Like Indian foods and Bangladeshi flyovers“

“Very homely environment and great food.“

“Being vegetarian, we ordered veg Momo's and veg biryani, and they both were super delicious. Veg options aren't significant, however, the available veg options are sufficient. If you are around this area, you should definitely try this small restaurant. Self service.
We are onsite and ordered to-go for the next day.

Inside seating available. Roadside limited parking.
Restrooms are available for customers.“

“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“

“delicious food“

“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.“

“Visited Akmal’s kitchen with friends and family recently located in Springfield, the Desi Hub. It has by far the best tasting Pakistani food in Northern Virginia! Menu has great options for all kinds of food from appetisers, vegetarian options to specialty food! We ordered the chicken pakoras, chaat for appetisers and for main course, mix sizzling platter, goat korma, Nihari (fall off the bone beef), chicken biryani, butter chicken. The biryani was very fresh, very fragrant and the chicken fall-off-the-bone moist and tender--some of the best we've had. The butter chicken was excellent-the sauce wonderful to enjoy with the moist and flaky naan. They also have buffet every day, which I will try next time!
The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating! Everything has been consistently fresh, delicious, and filling. Generous portions as well. Will definitely be back here again n again!
Always enjoy their catered food at the weddings and parties. Permanent customer!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options as well!

Dietary restrictions: They also cater to customers with dietary restrictions!

Parking: Ample free parking!

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly environment“

“Central & southern Asian food makes me happy. This is some of the best in Virginia. You must come to the buffet to try a few things, and come back with a date for supper. I typically enjoy lamb karahi but also many of the vegetarian options. The owners are very nice.“

“Complete Indian veg/ non veg restaurant with good taste & service“

“Great food and ambiance.“

“Food and Service are excellent here. They set the expectation of food before confirming the order which was good in understanding the taste of the food. Especially biryani is not a biryani, still it’s good.
Don’t expect a native biryani taste as like in our home country..

Lot of local US citizens having food over there which is really good.

Thank you Dishes of India.“

“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.“

“They recently added a whole vegan section to their menu. We got 3 of the dishes and they were all so delicious! The eggplant was AMAZING, so definitely get that. The server made a point to ask each person if they needed vegan rice or not, as their regular rice is made with heavy cream, and also asked if there were any food allergies at the table. Highly recommend!“

From Parents Cooking To The Rest Of The Family helping out front, All Are Super Nice and treat you like you are their family as well! Out Of All The Places I Tried, Food Flame Has The Best Butter Chicken Ever! The Sauce is made to perfection! Highly Recommend This Place A++++“

“This is a to-go Indian chaat spot located inside a gas station. Here’s how it works: you place your order at the cashier, and they bring the food out to you. There’s also a small corner with a few chairs if you want to eat quickly and head out.

We ordered the samosa wrap, which this place is known for - and it was delicious. The filling includes chana and rice by default, along with whatever other toppings you choose, making it quite hearty and satisfying.

We also tried the dahi puri chaat, which was very good. My husband and I shared both dishes and were completely full by the end. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Oh - almost forgot! They also sell Indian beers here like Haywards 5000 and Kingfisher, if that’s your thing.“

“Aditi Goumet is a nondescript small restaurant in Vienna. People can easily miss it as it is in a small strip mall at the edge of Vienna. But, it is a hidden gem. Aditi Gourmet has the best-tasting chicken biryani, the best-tasting goat curry, and the best-tasting okra (“bhindi”) masala in Fairfax County. I recommend it highly.“

“Good, friendly service.. food was delicious“
