“Superb authentic Indian food. The real taste of south Indian cuisines, well cooked and every item on the Buffet was tasty. The staff greet you with a smile and really take care of your choice of food and also give their suggestions to try other dishes too. They had mild, medium and high spicy foods displayed in the buffet. The atmosphere was very nice, clean and looked very hygienic. I would highly recommend this restaurant, a must try, if you like Indian food. I will certainly go there again. Thanks a million, Keep it up.“

“There are very few Indian breakfast places open in the area. Great service and fantastic breakfast. Absolutely recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Ate here yesterday for the first time. Delicious! My wife and I are excited to find an Indian restaurant nearby we both love.

We got lunch portions of the chicken chettinad and chicken kolhapuri. Hard to say which was better as they were both delicious. If you love spicy dishes these will hit your taste without being overpowering (we love spice and found the spice level around a medium). Amazing portions for the lunch dishes: you get a lot for a cool twelve bucks.

We also tried dahi puri for the first time and can highly recommend; the right blend of tartness and sweetness to offset the main dishes.

Only picked up but both workers--an older man and woman (owners, maybe?)--were very sweet and polite. The inside is clean and has the feel of a high-end hole-in-the-wall (if that makes sense).“

“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.“

“The Goat Vindaloo .. should actually stand for GREATEST OF ALL TIME - it was phenomenal.. Rasheed was our server and gave us the best dining experience and recommendations for our first time… WE WILL BE BACK! cannot wait to try all the others ❤️“

“This time we went with family members. We tried different varieties. We all enjoyed revert items ordered. Food was delicious , fresh, and tasty. The service was even better. Our server Rakesh was very pleasant, helpful. Made us feel like we are at home. Iwe will go back with more family members. I recommend this place to everyone who enjoy vegetarian meals.“

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

“Chaatwala is hands down one of the best spots in Herndon for authentic Indian food! The chaats are amazing – super fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice. The dosas are perfectly crispy, and the curries are rich and delicious. The staff is really friendly, service is quick, and the portions are generous. You can tell they put a lot of care into the food and it shows in every bite. If you’re looking for great Indian street food and comfort dishes in Northern Virginia, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! Maja aa gaya!!!“

“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.“

“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 loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!“

“Went there today with my daughter. Ordered Butter Chicken. Well it did not look like Butter Chicken, nor did it taste like Butter Chicken. Tasted and smelled like pieces of chicken dropped in the Chhole curry. 🤔“

“Complete Indian veg/ non veg restaurant with good taste & service“

“Must try Bawarchi special biryani !“

“Very homely environment and great food.“

“Staff is so kind to the teens. The food is top-notch, greasy enough to satisfy the craving for street-food but not unpalatable. They cook on demand so it is possible to customize and adjust according to your spice tolerance. It is in a gas station, but don’t let that dissuade you. It’s one of Vienna’s hidden gems.“

“Aditi Goumet is a nondescript small restaurant in Vienna. People can easily miss it as it is in a small strip mall at the edge of Vienna. But, it is a hidden gem. Aditi Gourmet has the best-tasting chicken biryani, the best-tasting goat curry, and the best-tasting okra (“bhindi”) masala in Fairfax County. I recommend it highly.“

“solid chicken kathi roll (street food section), chicken seekh kabab, and papri chaat. very friendly staff, and excellent value for money. will definitely be back“

“To be honest, I’m quite disappointed and am not sure I will return.

I arrived around 8:30 p.m. and had ordered to eat at the restaurant, but my food was immediately prepared to be packed as if I was taking it to go. On top of that, the cleaning activity was extremely loud. The person cleaning was literally kicking the small stools one by one, creating so much noise that it was impossible to relax or enjoy a meal in the dining area.

At this rate, it feels like the priority after 8:00 p.m. is cleaning rather than providing an inviting space for customers who want to dine in. If that’s the case, it may be worth considering positioning the restaurant as takeout-only after a certain time in the evening.

The manager explained that they had to do a major cleaning because a big group had just left, but from my perspective as a customer, it means my experience depends on whoever came before me.“

“Whenever we want to eat Indian food, Sai Saravana Bhavan is always our first choice. Food was so delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Good food good ambience good service good bar“

“Food was great akmal's kitchen put a lot of effort preparing live BBQ and serving, Lamb chops were a hit we had a party of 65 ppl everyone asked us about the food, where did you get it from? Was a common question.

Everything was great made our daughters graduation party memorable, Thank you!“
