8 Best New Restaurants in Richmond

“I went to La Dona Cocina Mexicana today with my sister. One of the best meals I've had! We had one if the corn appetizers, diablo guacamole (it had us sweatin'), enchiladas, quesedilla fritas, fried plantains, and Tres Leche cake. The restaurant is so cute, clean, the staff was nice, and absolutely delicious!!“

“I’m in Richmond for a work trip for the first time and this place was SO GOOD. I love Indian food but it’s hard to find a place with amazing service, good prices, and generous portions like this place. It was very clean and beautiful restaurant with peaceful music playing. Wish I had this back home. Definitely recommend!“

“First time here! Hands down best Indian food in RVA. Ordered garlic naan, chicken biryani, butter chicken, chicken saag, samosa chaat, chicken 65. Absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and flavorful. Portions were enough; we had to take most of the food home! Just as important, this place is cleeeaaannn, including the bowls and utensils (and restroom). Service was wonderful, so professional and attentive. We will be back to try the long list of lamb and vegetarian dishes! Of note, we came with my dad who is physically limited with walking- entrance was easy to navigate and booths are accommodating! This made our experience that much better!“

“Clean, modern interior. Great date night or friends and family gathering for a meal type experience. Plan to be there cooking, talking & eating for 2 hours. You'll select and cook your own Asian food at your table. It's impossible to leave hungry. It's all you can eat for 2 hours...Seriously.The staff are friendly & attentive throughout the process and bring you more of whatever you like with little to no wait. A nice Asian salad, sauce, & dessert bar. The restaurant is a massive space, probably could seat 200 people with ample privacy between tables. Our family really enjoyed the experience and I think yours will too!“

“The food was so amazing, super tasty and deliciousThe cooks and cashier were super nice and there was a really good vibe going on!Definitely recommend 100%Psa: it's also located in a very nice mall! After an amazing meal, you can go shopping... or even get your nails done lol. Try it out! :))“

“This place is amazing! Jamón Ibérico de Bellota can be hard to find in America, so we were ecstatic when we found Importante & saw that they offered it! We ordered the regular & Pata Negra versions of their Jamón Ibérico de Bellota & both were so, so good! Great atmosphere and table service as well. We will definitely be back!“

“Got a meal and drink for take-out, vermicelli rice noodles and grilled beef as well as a mango smoothie.Even though the food and drink were great the service is what really stood out. We were greeted in a friendly manner the moment we came in, the staff were very helpful and kind.This will be a new favorite! I’m excited to return“
