Fine. You really want Indian, it'll do, don't expect the best, but do expect efficient service and a decent meal. That is all.

Service was good - friendly staff, a little bit of wait time for tandoori chicken however that's to be expected since it was made fresh. Ambiance - cute! It's in a little food court area. Food - I think for me it was the chicken tikka masala that is swaying my rating to a 3 instead of a 4 or 5. It was a little too sweet for my tastes, which is not an experience I've really had with chicken tikka masala. Everything else was pretty average!

The best and the most authentic Indian restaurant in the DMV area.I don’t think there’s just one single dish I can recommend - the food their chef cooks is excellence, every item on the menu is amazing and executed to perfection. Food is primarily about taste and ingredients and these people seem to have nailed it for sure!Also the staff is very kind and friendly.

A wonderfully tasty experience. I went on a wednesday night and ordered the Tandoori Chicken. It was not that busy and service was quick. Since it was my first time I had a couple of questions and the staff was really nice and knowledgeable. He was able to help with my allergy questions and help with picking the right items. The tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection. Tasty spices and delicious sauce. It came with a mint chutney, rice, and chickpeas. In regards to taste, I would say it is great for lunch and a quick meal. But its hard to compare to other indian restaurants that take longer to cook. I would say as a quick meal, for the price, it is a wonderful meal. The ambiance is a food court area under the Balton Mall. I would say if you're around the area, give it a try. Its on my list of repeats for sure!

I have no pictures of this amazing food because I always eat it before I remember to take a picture lol. Everything I’ve tried here is amazing and the staff are all nice! My favorite dishes are the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Chicken Tikka Masala. I usually get it with white basmati rice, and garlic or butter naan. They never disappoint. This is a great option for lunch, conveniently located in the food court in Ballston Quarter Mall. You should definitely check it out. I will try to remember to post picture the next time I go lol.
Definitely a hidden gem of Indian food in Arlington. I have tried a few of their dishes and really like their food. The Mango lassi is worth having, their breads are delicious and their curries very tasty. If I was to give some criticism it would be that I have requested mild food in the past only to find it spicy, maybe for them it is mild but I have found my mouth burning in a couple of occasions where I requested mild. Other than that, it's a place worth visiting and repeating.Vegetarian options: Vegeterian options in appetizers and mains.
This place is too amazing. I have tried almost everything on the menu and not a single one has ever disappointed me. For my eat out days I would always prefer to order from Bollywood Bistro. Food and the flavours are authentic. It's definitely worth one try if you are searching for Indian cuisine. It's the hidden gem in Virginia.
The tandoori chicken was terrible. You get 4 pieces of the smallest bone in chicken parts with effectively no meat on them and like 4 spoonfuls of rice. You can get rice for cheap so the cost of the dish was horrible. The naan and the chicken 65 were decent but I probably wouldn't visit again. There are too many options nearby that are a better value to bother giving a second chance.
Super delicious and extremely affordable! The build your own bowls offer a huge variety of dishes and flavors. Cant recommend enough!

Food was made to order, Lamb Biriani and Samosas, really authentic. Service was pleasant and performed with a smile. Located in a mall sub level, currently under construction, but pleasantly surprised with the great food.

I am a big fan of Dilip sir who is a chef in the outlet. He makes amazing dishes and everything is absolutely authentic to the taste. Over the time he started to understand our preferences and always makes great food. The variety is enough to serve the purpose of visit because quality matters always! Rabina and Sai are great to speak with at the outlet!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are good and authentic.
Chicken vindaloo was excellent! They offered options for how spicy I wanted it and made it fresh while I waited. Came out piping hot and was delicious!
