always the very best butter chicken. My go to at least once a week. If you want good food that's ready when they say it will be this is the place.

It's a takeout setup - some room to sit and eat, but I consider this an Indian food takeout gem within a grocery store. I'm happy with Palak Paneer with rice, and this place hits the spot every time.

They have Indian spices that Safeway, Giant, etc al., don't carry. Also really good okra, ginger, and cinnamon sticks. Neat snacks and teas, too.I visited the shop, not the restaurant.

The best tadka daal ever. Miss home? Come here, uncle-ji treats you like family.

On those days that I really don't want to make my own meal and I really don't want to spend a couple of Benjamins at Rasika, this is my go-to Indian carryout. I could live off chickpeas and lentils from here. I'd give it another star if parking weren't so challenging. The grocery store really highlights the fact that I need to up my cooking game.

A hole in the wall Indian restaurant with authentic tasty food! I got the butter chicken and it was phenomenal the flavors were super vibrant and worked well together! There is also a small grocery store next to it that is definitely a must stop on the way out!

I'm new to this part of Arlington and wanted to find a replacement for my go-to Indian takeout. I was pleasantly surprised by the grocery selection and thought the quantity of food I received in my order was generous. I got a chicken tikka masala which I really enjoyed and had a lot of flavor and really nice meaty chunks and fresh peppers. The lamb biryani wasn't as pleasant - the meat had a lot of gristle - but had excellent flavor, and I'll admit that I'm particularly picky about fatty meat. I probably wouldn't order that particular dish again, but I WILL be returning to try other choices!

This review is written with an Indian born consumer participating in the meal. We did takeout. The veggie samosas, for being premade and sitting in a warming enclosure at the register, were surprisingly moist inside and tasty. Sauces provided could be double or triple in volume for normal Indian preference. Idli was fluffy and moist, mostly unexceptional. Sambhar was a bright spot. Not oily and spicy, but more authentic toor daal. It was light on veggies, but high on taste. We asked for Channa Masala mild and palak paneer spicy. We got the reverse. The palak was too creamy and none of us liked it. The paneer part was decent. The chana masala shined as our favorite part of the meal. Rice was just a bit dry, but good quantity. I stupidly bit into cardamom thinking it was a peanut. Bonus points for real cardamom pods in the rice! They also included plain naan, which seemed odd given the rice, but nice as well. The chana masala was probably our favorite. It was fresh, well spiced and overall very tasty. I'd say it's a 3.5 star, though I don't see a way to give half stars. We will order again but stick to easier to make items like chana.

Samosas are excellent and the grocery section, though small and cramped, is good. Chicken tikka masala was very good. Garlic naan and Lamb curry were good. Friendly staff.

This place is so good! It's definitely a hole in the wall - don't take a date here if you're looking to impress with aesthetics. I don't recommend eating the place - it's not the most comfortable setting. You walk in (currently the restaurant entrance is closed off) through the grocery store and it's a tight space between the shelves and the countertop. I would suggest calling in your order and then you can take them all home when you come pick up. One thing to note that I did not realize - each order of naan is 1 piece so order accordingly. We got 1 order of garlic naan and 1 regular and only got 1 garlic but 4 regular (assuming because each entree we ordered came with a naan and we ordered 3 entrees). Give this place a try - don't judge it by it's outward appearance!

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.
