“I've never had a better meal in my life. This is THE only restaurant to completely blow my mind in any genre, start to finish. Impeccable service, ambiance, and quality.“

“Good food and good service“

“This place is awesome! The staff was welcoming and friendly, they made conversation with us. Couches by the bar were inviting and comfortable and music was great. Dosa was like nothing ive had before, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend.“

“I’ve had Indian food all over the country and internationally, and I would say this was the best Indian food I’ve had in my life. Everything was super fresh, flavorful, dynamic without being overly salty or sweet, just delicious and interesting and well balanced. I can’t recommend it enough. The cherry on top is that it’s also super reasonable. Parking is a little dicey in that area but if you look in the residential neighborhoods, you’ll eventually find something. If you can, Uber to it that’s even better.“

“Stumbled upon Herbivore Indian Cuisine during a DC visit and really liked the overall experience. Simple, tasty, and satisfying.

Some quick notes:

* Small but cozy restaurant with a welcoming vibe
* Food was good and had that touch of homemade flavor
* Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available
* Portion size was on the smaller side but filling and flavorful
* Naan was fresh and soft—definitely a highlight
* Quick service and polite staff
* Clean interiors and neatly maintained space
* Roadside parking available nearby, typical for DC
* Great spot for a casual meal with authentic Indian taste“

“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!“

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

“We enjoyed the chicken curry, the paneer tikka masala, the non-veg thali, garlic naan, chai tea, mint mojito, galub jamun and kheer. We were visiting DC, and the food was so good we came in a second night. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff and owner very professional and personable. Highly recommend.“

“We went to Rasika for Valentine’s Day dinner, and they were offering a three-course prix fixe menu. From the appetizers, we were told that the spinach chaat was the only item from their regular menu. I was a little skeptical at first, but our waiter mentioned it’s one of their most popular dishes, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I cleaned the bowl completely and already know I’ll be dreaming about it for a long time. The next time I’m in DC, Rasika will definitely be a must-visit for me.“

“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.“

“Their food is amazing, the atmosphere of the place is really cool. It looks very nice decorated. They have different kind of Naans. You know an indian restaurant is good when the chef is from India. And this is one of those. Come and enjoy! 😊🤤“

“Delicious!!! Some of the best Indian food in town“

“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!“

“very nice food and service I'm from London uk do I no good food“

“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“

“I’ve been visiting this place for the past few times. It’s not a full-fledged restaurant, but it’s an excellent spot to sit down and enjoy your food. The service is outstanding, and it’s a must-visit place if you love spicy food. 🌶️“

“This Indian restaurant is clean, cozy, and modern, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredibly delicious, full of rich flavors, and beautifully prepared. The staff is also very friendly and attentive, which makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“delicious food“

“I recently dined at this establishment, having a late lunch. I was very impressed by the attentiveness/politeness of the staff. I ordered goat curry with garlic naan, and the meal did not disappoint. My server, Danish, was an excellent host and made the experience very warm and welcoming. I will dine here again.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A Hidden Gem for Biryani Lovers! Curry and Pie is hands down one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited! Their chicken and lamb biryani are absolutely phenomenal perfectly spiced, incredibly flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every bite.“

“Fresh, flavorful curries in large portion sizes! I’ve tried their paneer masala with a side of potatoes and cauliflower and roti - which is essentially a full-sized Indian meal, for under twenty. Their samosas and mango lassi were also quite filling and delicious.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Good food and excellent service!
Stopped by here for a late lunch for two at 3pm and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We ordered Chicken Malai Tikka, Lamb Seekh Kabob and Pistachio Malai Kofta. Excellent preparation on all three dishes. Kofta was slightly cold on the inside so had to send it back to be reheated but it didn't take too long. The naan and Tandoori Paratha were piping hot and delicious. Our server, Johnny, was cheerful and delighted to serve us.
All in all, a very good meal. This one is definitely the one I must go back to and try some of their other dishes. Convenient location with nearby parking lots as well as paid street parking. Close to Metro.“

“We were three girls dining on New Year’s Eve, and the experience was fantastic. We ordered tofu makhni, chicken tikka masala, and another dish based on our server’s recommendation—and every dish was flavorful and absolutely delicious.

What really impressed us was the service. We noticed that our server was also handling bartending duties, yet he was incredibly patient, attentive, and kind throughout the evening. Even with the heavy New Year’s Eve rush, he took the time to help us choose dishes, answered our questions, and offered great recommendations. He never made us feel rushed and made sure we were enjoying everything.

Balancing both roles so smoothly while still providing such excellent service truly stood out. Great food and outstanding service made our night memorable. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Rasa, the service was overall the staff friendly and attentive, food was delicious and freshness, I recommend 100 percent please go tried thee best restaurant in the area“

“The lunch buffet was excellent! Great variety and very generous with the ingredients. Lovely service, they brought a basket of fresh (still warm and steaming) delicious naan without me even asking. My only disappointment is that I've lived in the area for over a year and this my first time here, I so wish I would have tried it sooner! I will definitely be back as soon as possible.“

“My cousin and I love Indian food and have tried several places in our home town and when traveling. I can’t speak for the rest of their food but we ordered delivery for their butter chicken and it was amazing. Literally craving it now 2 months later!“

“i absolutely enjoyed my meal. casual atmosphere while having what you could call... fast dining food. I got the butter chicken and a black forest cake. DELICIOUS ‼️ I WISH YALL WERE CLOSER TO ME IN FREDERICKSBURG. Will definitely come again“

“Great food and ambiance.“

“It was wonderful! This was my first time trying Indian Cuisine and it was a fantastic introduction to to the food. I couldn’t have asked for better!“

“My experience here just makes me want to believe that human beings are kind and the only way we grow is by spreading love and care. The owner and every employee here taught me a big lesson for life - humanity exits and help in whichever way you can! Thank you - loads of blessings coming your way!“
