“We had to pick someone up from Dulles Airport in virginia and had about an hour to spare. We Googled nearby options and found this place just five minutes away from the airport. We ordered mutton masala with rice, plain naan, and a chikoo shake. We also packed a butter paneer masala, which was great. The food was excellent overall. The chikoo shake could have been a little less sweet, but otherwise it’s a great spot for Indian food. Those who need to know, this place is big, clean and has a good bar too.“

“What a hidden gem!! I was surprised that basically no one was in here on a friday night. Enjoyed their spicy Chicken Tikka Masala dinner special which came with a giant serving of rice, a lot of chicken chunks, and a fragrant gravy that was packed with flavor. The service is the usual order at counter affair and the people who helped me were super polite. I will definitely be returning to try out their other dishes and their other excellently priced specials.“
