For my birthday, I was craving some decent dosas in the Fairfax area, and this restaurant did not disappoint! The server was so kind and attentive. He answered all of our questions and in the kindest way invited us to come back and try their buffet, which we absolutely plan on doing. I wish I caught his name so I could give him a shout out. Going here really made the day a special one!

Two friends & I came by for dinner about 3 weeks ago and had excellent meals. Everything was good, including the service. When I am next in northern VA, I would definitely eat here again.
February 2026
Lunch buffet. It's only okay. I wouldn't go here to enjoy my lunch. The items are not many, some are hit and miss, taste is average, and the overall combination leaves a lot of room for improvement.
