When a large reunion showed up and seated near us, we were asked if we wanted to relocate somewhere quieter in the restaurant which I appreciated. Will return for sure!“

“This is best chaat I have had in the U.S. Tastes like home except better because you get to relax and enjoy it in a fun atmosphere while doing nothing but feasting !! They even have a carrom board and a ping pong table, and lots of fun board games in a special “Time Pass” area. If you love good food, you have to stop by !!! They can adjust the spice level to your liking and they have a huge menu with so many different flavor profiles offered. The food is made with love & truly feeds the Soul, I can’t wait to visit again! ❤️🤤“

“This is one of the best restaurants in Loudoun County, hands down. I get a new appetizer every time I go, and each time I am thoroughly impressed at the quality of flavor and ingredients. The malai kofta and paneer lababdar are heavenly, a must try. We have begun to go so regularly that the staff recognize us immediately, place us at our favorite table, and remember details of food allergies and are highly accommodating. The owner is incredibly kind and greets all of his customers, the wait staff is super attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed. This is a must-stop for Hindustani food in the area.“

“We loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!“

“Visited Tristate last night, had a fun filled night with my friends. The Jaljeera Mojito, haryali gobi and veg pulao were yumm!!
Vibha who attended to us was amazing!

Loved the ambiance, drinks and food!

Vegetarian options: Multiple choices!“

“We had the Tandoori Mixed Grill, butter chicken, kids nuggets, naan, cheese naan and mango lassi for dinner plus mango and kulfi for dessert. Everything was amazing. The kids are picky eaters but loved it and can’t wait to go back. One of the best restaurant options in Loudoun County.

The staff and manager were just as awesome as the food.“

“Bengaluru in Virginia 😊 Filter coffee, Masala dosa, Chow Chow bath“

“First time i ordered from Punjabi Junction, so wanted to try a variety of dishes. food was excellent, just 1 thing that i was disappointed with, the onions with chole bhature were pink but tasted like recently wasted, so very plain and bland. I had also done a side of onion and pickle, and it was the same washed pickle with nimmbo achaar on top. i would've liked it to be tossed so its flavorful bit it wasn't. felt like a waste of money. it definitely impacted the experience of the dishes.

The food overall was good, a lot of chole to go with bhature, goat curry was excellent, khadai chicken was good, naan options were good, samosa chat was good as well, but OMG the Gajar Halwa so was sooo good. i ordered the dishes indian hot, didn't connect in my brain that it might be actually hot, so the gajar halwa really tasted amazing.“

“It was a pleasure dining at the new amazing restaurant on my recent trip to DC. The staff was very welcoming and the warm hearted owners treated us with their favorites. Guests can request the appropriate spice level to their taste and the staff is willing to accommodate the requests. I also ordered a cocktail and it was made to perfection. Must try their paneer Chilli and puri bhaji. The best part of my experience was to see the special masala fried papad on the table. Yes, they serve fried papad, not the roasted ones. I strongly recommend a visit. Give an opportunity to the Aroma chefs to satisfy your taste buds, you won't be disappointed.“

“Good food. Local to where I live portions are ok nice owner“

“We dined here last summer - drove from Maryland. Great South Indian food is worth a drive! I'm familiar with South Indian food from the Seattle area, where we live, but Agni also had some unique dishes and dishes that were particularly well done. I hope we can come back sometime.“

“Must try Bawarchi special biryani !“

“Choolaah is my go-to spot for a perfectly balanced meal, especially their amazing bowls and the irresistible malai kulfi! Whether I’m in the mood for a guilt-free treat or a satisfying cheat meal, Choolaah always hits the spot. Highly recommend it!“

“Very homely environment and great food.“

“Very friendly staff Great food But check hours of operations“

“I’m finding it difficult to accurately describe the flavor surprises and texture treats that were presented in every dish! We started with the kale and yogurt appetizer, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Crisp, tart, sweet, salty - astoundingly good! Then our main dishes just carried it forward. I had the crispy pork belly with shrimp paste, and my friend had the oxtail and eggplant. They were like nothing I’ve ever had before, and such unique and enjoyable flavor/texture combinations. I can’t wait to go back! It’ll be really hard not to just reorder what we had today, but this place deserves a full menu exploration!“

“We recently picked up dinner from this Indian restaurant, and it was a great choice! We ordered a chicken curry dish, goat dum biryani, and chili gobi, and each dish was delicious!

The chicken curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced—just the right amount of heat. The goat dum biryani was aromatic and tender, with the perfect balance of spices and herbs. But the standout for me was definitely the chili gobi. The crispy cauliflower had an incredible depth of flavor, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice.

Overall, everything was delicious, and I will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend the chili gobi if you're into a bit of heat.“

“My husband and I love Banjara and any time our friends ask where to go for good Indian food, this is it! The dishes are consistently delicious and flavorful. Some of our favorites: Karari Palak Chaat, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Korma (any protein the sauce is amazing), Chicken Biryani, Palak Paneer, and Garlic Naan 😋. For drinks I love the mango lassi and salted lassi (very acquired taste if you’ve never had a yogurt drink before). Dessert favorites are their Gulab Jamun and Saffron Kheer. The ambiance is spacious and traditional. PS: be prepared for a wait on the weekends for the buffet… it can get busy. The buffet is such a good deal for the quality, variety, and quantity of food you get. Also if you get Jefferson as your server, you are in good hands… He’s our favorite!“

They went above and beyond what we imagined, in terms of decor, food and atmosphere. Many of our guests said they had so much fun getting to experience our reception with us at the Silk. We would love to come back for another event in our life one day and highly recommended to anyone considering using them for their event!“

We catered their Rajasthani Dal, Baati, Churma special dishes for our guests in October 2022. it was a super hit. Everybody loved the food. We have also tried other varieties. The food, service, ambience, cleanliness and quality - all are excellent.“

“Decent biryani. Have ordered a few times.

Be careful when you order spicy levels of biryani it’s really spicy even for an Indian palette used to Andhra level spices. Also that level of ‘hot’ kills the other flavors in the biryani.“

“Consistent good quality food“
