Nice place. Good ambience and hygienic. The food was good. The dal and paneer was good the papdi chat was a disappointment. Also the hara bhara kabab turned out to be aloo tikki. Overall I would say the place is good but the food is average.

What an amazing find! The food here is absolutely divine like I could literally not find a single flaw with it. On top of that the employees are very friendly and servers are attentive. The restaurant itself is incredibly clean and well cared for plus there's a small customer parking lot. If you're in the area stop in and get some delicious food. They also have door dash and grub hub for all those home bodies or busy workers out there. Cannot say enough nice things!...

Lemon Indian Restaurant is a wonderful spot in Richmond! The environment is very welcoming and comfortable — you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The food was really tasty, full of authentic flavors that made us want to come back again.

The staff are super friendly and helpful, which makes the dining experience even better. Another plus is that they have convenient parking space, so it’s easy to visit without any hassle.

Highly...
