Celebration by Rupa Vira - Modern Indian Cuisine

The food was super delicious. All the items we ordered from the menu were delicious. the service was excellent. This restaurant is a must try. I highly recommend

Had heard so many good things about this place but was super disappointing. ? Went on a weekend for lunch and it was a buffet. Everything was actually sweet tasting, barely any spice at all, and super oily! There was chicken malai kabab which was so cold and hard. Felt like they removed it from the cold storage and put it out but forgot to turn on the burner under it. Ghosh bhuna was extremely tough meat, not tender at all. Nothing tasted fresh other than the Naan. Extremely disappointing!
Maybe their dinner a-la-Carte is better, but I seriously doubt it! ? We paid $65 for 2 for such a substandard buffet (fyi they automatically include 20% tip)! ??‍♂️ Never again!

This was an expensive lunch buffet. The food choices were limited. The deserts were hidden away from the other food. The cocktails/mocktails were expensive. They brought the table one naan at a time - that too after a long wait. The food is kept separate from the diners so you have to pass through a single door to access it. They do everything to ensure you eat slowly so you eat less.
The karahai goat was basically a goat curry. It was an insult to any karahi dish. The food looks pretty and is presented well but does not taste nearly as good as it looks.

We went with high expectations after a friend praised it to high heavens.
We left weirdly full. It must be because they add baking soda in their food. All of us felt bloated and took a walk around the shopping complex to relieve the bloat.

Never going there again. There are plenty of terrific Indian restaurants around the area. Nothing to celebrate here.

I recently visited Celebration by Rupa Vira, and it was an incredible experience! The first thing that stood out to me was how clean and beautiful the restaurant was. The ambiance was warm and modern, giving it a contemporary yet authentic feel.

This is Indian food reimagined in a modern way. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, and beautifully presented, and you could taste the attention to detail in every bite. Whether you're a fan of traditional Indian dishes or looking to explore new flavors, this place is a must-visit.

On top of that, the service was fantastic! Our server, Neil, was attentive, and friendly, and made sure we had a great dining experience from start to finish.

Highly recommend it for anyone wanting a fresh take on Indian cuisine in a lovely setting!

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area! The food is consistently fantastic, and I absolutely love their Aam Palak Chaat. They also always have a chef's special on the menu, which is a great touch. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Another excellent Resturant by RupaVira. It was a wow experience. Enjoyed every thing that came on the table. A place one must visit.Their service was excellent, presentation it self was very tempting and tasty. Good choice of starter and main course. Them have good Cocktails and Mocktail as well
We being vegetarian, ordered kurkuri Tikki ( very tasty), Bombay bhaji cheese toast( really very good) Paneer Tikka ( Panner was really soft but taste needs improvement, it was bland) as starter
For main course we ordered Khatta Aloo Mirch( to good) Dal ( Makhani) Rupa vira,Rumeli Roti (very few place offers this choice of roti in USA)
Dessert we ordered chocolate explosion cake which was also excellent,

Overall it was a 5 star experience.

A suggestion to this group to have more of their restaurant like a chain of Rupa Vira at other cities of USA.

The restaurant needs to reconsider how it treats people. It treats familiar customers very well, but unfamiliar ones like non-entities. My biryani was really bad. While they didn’t charge me for it, the overall experience was disappointing. I had visited a few days earlier for a party, and the food was excellent, so I brought my family to relive that experience. However, it seems blatantly obvious that they treat some customers better than others.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at *Celebration*, and it was nothing short of an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance, tasteful decor, and the subtle aroma of spices created an inviting atmosphere.

The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, each beautifully capturing the authentic flavors of India. I started with the *Paneer Tikka*, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious—perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. For the main course, the *Butter Chicken* and *Sunheri Nalli were highlights. The meat was tender, and the gravies had a depth of flavor that made every bite memorable. Their *garlic naan* and *jeera rice* complemented the dishes perfectly.

The service was attentive, with staff ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great suggestions for pairing dishes.

Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, *Celebration* delivers an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the finest Indian flavors in a cozy yet elegant setting.

If you're craving for an authentic Indian dining experience or planning a special event, Celebration in the heart of Ashburn is a gem. The charming interior creates a soothing atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. A special thanks to Sheila, who expertly coordinated everything from the initial planning to the final moments of the party.

A Memorable Evening at Celebration by Rupa Vera

I recently hosted a friends' get-together party at Celebration by Rupa Vera, a renowned Indian restaurant in Ashburn, and it was truly unforgettable. The venue’s reputation for hosting special events was well-deserved, and it certainly did not disappoint.

Ambiance and Decor: Celebration offers a warm, inviting ambiance with rich, classic decor. The private dining area reserved for our event was beautifully adorned with elegant table settings, setting the perfect tone for a celebratory evening.

Service: The staff were exceptional throughout the event. A dedicated event coordinator ensured that everything went smoothly, from the initial setup to the final moments. The servers were attentive and efficiently managed our large group without any issues.

Food and Drinks: The party featured a lavish buffet with a wide range of Indian delicacies. Highlights included the Lotus Stem Chaat and colorful Chicken Kabobs (in Snacks), Dabba Chicken (rich and flavorful), and the perfectly spiced butter squash Kofta (in main course). The freshly baked naans complemented the curries beautifully. Desserts like Gulab Jamun Mousse and Rasbari Ka Ghosla were a hit with everyone. The drink selection was also impressive, offering a variety of mocktails and traditional lassis.

Atmosphere: The lively atmosphere, enhanced by a mix of traditional music and a DJ, kept everyone in high spirits. The restaurant’s setup facilitated mingling and dancing, making the evening both enjoyable and engaging.

Value for Money: Considering the quality of the food, service, and overall experience, the cost was reasonable. The restaurant clearly communicated all pricing details upfront, avoiding any surprises.

Final Thoughts: Overall, Celebration by Rupa Vera provided a fantastic venue for our event. From the delicious food to the excellent service and vibrant atmosphere, everything was handled with care. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to host a memorable Indian fusion party or want a platinum dine-in experience.

It was our first time visiting this restaurant, and the experience was incredible. We are residents from Poland and were visiting our family friends who suggested us about this restaurant. Congratulations to Rupa Vira and the team. From the recommendations given to knowing about Rupa’s journey of working in her garage to owning 2 restaurants was inspiring. Got to know of various other Indian cultures, and the hospitality by Neil was really amazing. Thank you for this wonderful evening.
