This restaurant delivers what matters most. Great food and great service. The food is fresh and flavorful. There is a wide selection! I have just opted to go down the menu everything is good. And the front end staff is patient, friendly and aims to please. Well worth the ride for excellent take-out!

A+ Outstanding service! Delicious food! Hefty portions! I highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for great food at a reasonable price. I loved how flexible they were with the dish I wanted - veggie bowl. Very easy going and friendly, too.

Finally forced myself to try this neighbourhood kabob place, since i've read good reviews from the Washingtonian magazine last year, and have been contemplating to come here for a while now. Best bang for your buck, i should say, i ordered 1 samosa while i waited for the Kabob Combo, i've chosen Chicken Tandoori and Beef Seekh Kabob, surprisingly, i have the option of getting chicken biryani instead of plain basmati rice as one of the 2 sides that comes with it. The combo plate came with a salad and chole (curried chick peas), a drink and a complimentary small bowl of spiced chicken, egg and corn soup, all for the price of $20. The flavor and taste is below than my other 2 favorite kabob places, and remember the food in this place is "spicier" but their portion is something to be desired nowadays. I'll definitely come back again to this gem, and try their other dishes. ??

Absolutely stellar. Food was amazing, with particularly good spices. Service was even better. The owner went out of his way to make a toddler plate for us, complete with two pieces of broccoli. This is a true gem.

Food is full of flavor, affordable and great customer service. I usually go here on my lunch break for food and have tried almost everything on the menu. It's a hidden gem

I have been to this restaurant more than 100 times and they are the BEST!! I go there for the main dishes and the sides and the friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious every time. Often I will get half a chicken and there are several variations, which always leave me smiling. I finally had their Chicken Sandwich (Zinger) and it blew me away -- exceeded expectations. I go for their side dishes --spinach, lentils, chick peas -- to add to my own home-made soup and it makes them so much better. Samosas, Lamb sub, steak meals, various sauces and more make this my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Worth checking out.
Small spot with a lot of hype. Lives up to the hype mostly. Biryani, rotisserie chicken(various styles), curries and sauces are all well made and some are spicy if you ask them. Naan is really good but not the best. Best to eat there, it’s not as good when delivered or picked up.

It is not so often to see a restaurant rated higher than 4.5, and I have to admit that the reviews were true. The chicken was so great.. It was literally finger-licking good.There were several options that I couldn't tell the difference, but I chose "charga" chicken based on the name of the restaurant. The chicken was red, looking a little brighter than tandoori chickens I have had. It was... so yummy! I had so many dry tandoori chickens, but this one was so moist and fresh, without all bad grease. The side biryani rice was quite spicy, and I liked it very much, too! Again, it was different from other Americanized Punjabi dishes, but so much better. The side chicken+corn soup balanced out the heat for me. Highly recommend this place. Will be coming back for more whenever I crave chicken. Forget about Peruvian chickens, Korean fried chickens, or whatever. This is it for me.

This was an amazing Food experience! From the Smell of the Curry chicken and roasted Potatoes I was hook. But overall it was the Owner Asahd Warm welcome and service for the Win! Something about great customer service makes the food better(something his associates might want to adapt when he’s out of Business)…if you are looking for a dine-in or take out cuisine that gives you on a cultural Journey full of spice and everything nice Make you stop by! P.S IF you from NY they make a mean Chopped Cheese!

Don't be fooled by the barebones interior - Charga is probably the most delicious food that I have eaten during my eight years in the DMV area. The menu can seem overwhelming at first, but I am here to help you ward off decision paralysis.Get the Charga, at least a 1/2 chicken. You'll either finish it all in one sitting or have tasty leftovers to take home. The Charga is marinated for 24 hours and then flash fried to order, infusing a myriad of flavors into the meat and then gilding the exterior with a wonderfully flavorful crust. I thought Peruvian chicken was amazing, but Charga really puts it to shame. Don't forget to dip generously into the zesty green sauce.I have tried four of the sides so far and they're all good - I recommend choosing from the seasoned potatoes, spinach (cooked a lot like saag in Indian cuisine), fried plantains, or chicken biryani. Pretty much everything at this restaurant is bursting with flavor, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I ate at Charga the past two nights and plan to make it back many more times in the coming months. Resounding 5/5

I loved the food flavor, quality, quantity, and price. The flavor of the chickpeas and lentils were one of the best I've had. The naan was fresh-made are the kababs were excellently seasoned. On top of that, the service was so nice and friendly!! They gave us an extra soup in the house just because I was curious about how it tasted. They have great mix of Nepalese, Indian, Peruvian, and Pakistani food. It's amazing how much food you get for the $12 combo platter. I highly recommend.
