Bollywood Restaurant was a pleasant change of pace from all of the strip mall joints which line NOVA. The atmosphere was excellent, the service was polite and precise, and the food was superb. Narayan is truly doing an outstanding job managing the Fairfax location. We will definitely be back. Bollywood should be ranked 4.8 or even 4.9 instead of 4.4. One of the most enjoyable dining experiences we’ve had in a long time.

Updated review: I did a takeout of crab in yellow curry. WOW…just wow! It is so delicious. If you like crab and curry, you must try this dish. 👍

Not bad, it was one of my best Indian restaurants in the area, but now I’m not sure if coming back

My husband and I dined at Bollywood Bistro for the first time and had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our server, Narayan, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations that we really enjoyed. The entire staff was attentive and professional—quick to refill water, clear plates, and ensure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. It’s hard to find a restaurant that delivers both exceptional food and outstanding service, but this place truly excels at both! We look forward to dining there again!

Wanted an Indian restaurant for my birthday- first time visit. The food was delicious, and I was pleasantly surprised at the extra attention they gave to make sure our experience was great. 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!

Very good restaurant. Love the paneer makhani and the Malai kofta. The loudness of the restaurant phone is a little jarring. Service can be a little slow. But love the food.
Have being going there for several years. Food and service is consistently great. A rarity nowadays!

I understand this is a small chain, so one may think authenticity may be somewhat compromised, however, I enjoyed one of the finest meals here recently with some friends. The service is fantastic as well. Unsure why this place isn't booming.
