50 Best Indian Restaurants near Falls Church

“Nice evening ambiance. Very clean restaurant. The food was great, so was the service. We happened to have two waiters serving us, very plaisant. It looks like a team effort. We liked that ?. The food came on time. we went with the safest dish, ? Chicken Tikka Massala, milld for sure. Really enjoyed our dinner. Although there was one tall guy, not sure about his role. He was the odd one, ? . He came to our table maybe twice, did not like his energy, he was just a bit off, kind of rudish. But we did not let him ruin our night.“

“Let me start by saying that I had the worst day and the worst week… I gave up and decided I wasn't going to cook and ordered out food. Decided to try this Indian restaurant for the first time and the staff was very kind and recommended some of their best dishes. And the food....changed.....my....life...I could have this everyday for the rest of this week.
My dinner turned my bad day into a good day at 8pm. So if you're having a bad day and don't have energy to cook Haandi Indian is where you start making it better. ??
Ordered the Samundar Ki Begam (red) and Gosht Vindaloo (brown) and garlic naan.“

“We found raaga by accident and ever since it has been our favorite local Indian restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious! I end up ordering 4-5 dishes so that we will have leftovers and the naan is better than anywhere else we’ve been. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint“

“I absolutely adore this place and I’m already planning my next meal here! We shared the Palak Chaat and I ordered the best garlic naan and classic chicken tikka masala I’ve ever had. Reasonably priced and amazing table service. You cannot skip the Cookie Butter Dosa for dessert!“

“Food was absolutely delicious, lots of vegetarian and vegan options ! The small dine in area is so cozy with beautiful lights, art, and decor ! Service was prompt and food came out very quickly. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely have to try this gem out if you are nearby !

“Great ambience, flavorful food. Linda was very helpful with the menu. Highly recommend.“

“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!“

“Absolutely one of my favorite spots. I order from them regularly (Cameron Station). The Pork Belly and Sesame Tofu are to die for! the Lamb Dumplings also are very good. The Kale Chaat is excellent, and the Lamb Biryani was spicy. delicious and enough for luch the next day after 3 people ate off of it! Will definitely be checking out their $12 bowls! the Indochen in Old Town was too nice! Lamb Josh Rogan was good but I'll stick to the Biryani or try the Vindaloo next!“

“Great food and Barman !! It is a great place“

“I just ordered Oh! Naan for the first time and I am very impressed! The chicken masala (medium spice) was delicious. The spice level was spot on and the overall flavor was fantastic. The chicken pieces were all tinder and the portion was very large. I also had garlic naan (which I got buy one get one free). It was soft and warm with the perfect amount of garlic and butter.

I ordered the food on an app for pick up so I can’t speak to the atmosphere, but the food was ready quickly, packaged well, and the ladies who helped me during pick up were very friendly. The food was still very warm and fresh even after my ten minute walk home.

I’ll totally eat here again, and would recommend others trying it out“

“We had a great experience at Delhi Spice in Bethesda. The food was absolutely delicious — we tried the Delhi Papri Chaat, Paneer Makhani, Fig Kofta, Daal Tadka, Onion Kulcha, and Garlic Naan. Every dish was full of authentic flavor and cooked to perfection.

The staff was very accommodating. We mentioned we had kids with us, and the gentleman taking our order made sure their food came out first — really thoughtful service!

Parking is a bit challenging in the area, but we parked in the Giant store lot behind the restaurant, which worked out fine.

Highly recommend this place if you're looking for tasty Indian food in Bethesda.“

“I dined there third day after opening about a year ago. I knew they were going to make it - absolutely delicious food from recipes from the mother of the owners - it is well attended at dinner time, they don't take reservations. Excellent service, price and great food.“

“There is no better Indian food for hungry people! They held and seated us, a 10 person party, until the end of the restaurant hours with cheer.

Reasonably priced for sharing food, and you’ll want to get a bit of everything. The crackling spinach has such a unique tamarind flavor, it is a must try.

We come here after a lot of our New Morning Farm farmer’s markets, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!!“

“Authentic Indian food. Highly recommended ❤️“

“I just had my 2nd absolutely DELICIOUS Indian dinner at Virraaj on Cordell. My husband noticed what he thought was a new restaurant across from the public parking last week so we went there for our Wednesday date nite. We went earlyish and only a couple other tables were taken when we arrived but by the time we left at 6:30 ish it was just about full so best to make reservations. Even with many diners, it was still easy to talk to each other and be heard. I started w/ the AAM Palak Chaat appetizer which I had first tasted at Rasika and have ordered every time I have seen it on a menu. Definitely rivaled Rasika's and the portion was big enough to share w/ my husband as an appetizer. My main was the Murgh Bahak/ Kadai Chicken. So tender, so tasty with onion and green and red bell peppers, delicious brown sauce w/ terrific spices plus a little spicy kick. I ate as much as I could and still had left overs for 2 lunches at home. My husband ordered a lamb dish he enjoyed and finished every morsel including the rice. I saw some reviewers would have liked more rice. We had plenty with our meals so maybe they are giving more w/ each dinner. The waiter was attentive, professional, courteous and nice. The restaurant itself was classy & beautifully appointed - you could tell someone put a great deal of thought and money into designing it. This week we had friends visit who live in VA, within walking distance to Clarendon. We always go there for Indian food because there are so many good Indian restaurants to choose from but they were excited to try Virraaj from our comments about how much we enjoyed it. Before ordering takeout, I called and spoke to Jenni 3 times because I wanted to order what I had ordered last week but couldn't remember the name. She could not have been kinder or more patient in helping me figure out that it was the Kadhai Chicken. It may not seem like it from this review but I am a picky eater - happy to pay any price (just about ) for good food but am too often disappointed in Bethesda. Virraag got the highest marks on everything important to me: service, food, and ambiance - all of us enjoyed our meals and noone was disappointed. We ordered pickup for 4 main dishes including my fav Murgh Bahak/Kadai Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tawa Masala and Hariyal Murgh Tikka, naan and roti. All went on 2 big lazy susans on the dining room table and we kept on spinning, tasting and enjoying. The wife of the other couple always orders the Butter Chicken and kept on saying how moist and delicious the chicken was tonight. We all tried and liked everything - - not one complaint. So glad that we have a great Indian restaurant to go to and take friends to and not worry that anyone is not going to enjoy -- it is that good!“

“Bollywood masala is a must-visit! We started with the vegetable pakora, perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor, followed by the light and fluffy vegan roti and shrimp kabob, which was tender and perfectly spiced! The yellow dal was rich and packed with flavor. To finish, we had the kheer - also heavenly. The service was superb, and Raj, the owner, was the most gracious host. We can’t wait to return for another incredible meal! Highly recommend!“

“We ordered enough food for five people. The lamb shank and lamb chops were great. I didn't fully like the vegetarian options. Forgot to take pictures of the main course and appetizers. Though the desserts were awesome except for the gulap jamun.“

“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!“

“This restaurant is so good and a pleasant surprise. I stopped by after orbiting and was hungry on the way home.

The food is phenomenal and the customer service is great. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, like family. The gourmet food is great and they also have take out specials.“

“best Indian restaurant in old town. Chicken tika masala is the best.“

“Excellent food and service!! Will definitely come back.“

“It was my first time there. Food was great. I would definitely return.“

“After having being to the silver spring location I decided to cater my event from Kati roll wala. I am super pleased with the experience and all my guests loved the food. I totally loved the paneer roll and the chicken cilantro roll. I got the bite size samosa and the flavors and the size was perfect. Arun is amazing and helped in making sure that the food was exactly per my expectations. Thank you so much for catering my event. Can't wait to try other items in future.“

“Amazing customer service delicious food and fast service please go check it out“

“stumbled across this place and it was a hidden gem. The food was delicious. I had a spicy chicken dish and my son had a spicy lamb dish with garlic naan bread. very good“

“The most delicious, authentic Indian food served by a most gracious gentleman. The Nan, of which there are several choices, was warm and buttery. The homemade cheese was exceptionally delicious. Another diner had butter chicken and was raving at how tender the chicken was. And the samosas were wonderful. Everything at our table was a 10 out of 10. Treat yourself, dine at this wonderful restaurant!“

“It’s such a great place to be with family and friends. All the staffs are helpful, clean, nice food. Love this place“

“We had a nice experience. We came before our reserved time, but they were nice to accommodate us. Very chilled vibes, relaxed modern Indian dine. They food hit the spot, very delicious and comforting. I fell in love with Naan. One of the best naan I ever had. The drinks were top notch as well. My husband reviews Drinks crafted to perfection. It's was good to meet the bartender. I appreciate the efforts of chef. House made Rose ice cream was very delicious. I loved it. The staff was very welcoming and interacted nicely, checked on us from time to time.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Great Indian food. We found them on Google and ordered takeout two nights. Everything outstanding. People very friendly. Lamb curry and palak paneer and naan and chickpeas were perfectly prepared. They would get 6 stars for food quality, if it was possible.“

“I had a lamb biryani and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in DC so far. I got the medium level spice and it was absolutely perfect!! A great portion of meat in it too- great sized. Pankaj was very helpful and welcoming, and made sure everything came out fast! Definitely try this place!!!“

“The best Indian food place in the entire DMV area. The most flavorful food around. Our favorite dishes are Chicken 65, Chole Bhature, and Butter chicken. Mango Lassi is delicious as well. The inside is decorated very tastefully, and the staff is super friendly.“

“Great Indian-Nepalese restaurant in Bethesda. Ordered the chicken Biryani along with Chili chicken and garlic naan. The Biryani was well prepared and fresh. The chili chicken had an abundance of flavor. It wasn't too spicy either. Our server was very kind and gracious. Will come back next time I'm between Baltimore and DC.Best food and best service“

“7/30/24 - something changed! (in the neighborhood ?). Their everything bowl now includes all 3 meat options! Yay! 4 stars for sure!

----------
Good portions, good food, good price. Service is friendly and quick. Ambiance is mall food court, with lots of energy and people moving about. The taste, though, isn't as flavorful as I would expect from Indian food, and while they have 2 choices of meats, they could be more generous with the servings.“

“Very homely environment and great food.“

“Love to sit at the bar. The Manager is such a great guy! He plays amazing music each time I’ve been in, and the food is wonderful!! He works so hard— I am amazed and inspired by his work ethic!!“
