“Visited Akmal’s kitchen with friends and family recently located in Springfield, the Desi Hub. It has by far the best tasting Pakistani food in Northern Virginia! Menu has great options for all kinds of food from appetisers, vegetarian options to specialty food! We ordered the chicken pakoras, chaat for appetisers and for main course, mix sizzling platter, goat korma, Nihari (fall off the bone beef), chicken biryani, butter chicken. The biryani was very fresh, very fragrant and the chicken fall-off-the-bone moist and tender--some of the best we've had. The butter chicken was excellent-the sauce wonderful to enjoy with the moist and flaky naan. They also have buffet every day, which I will try next time!
The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating! Everything has been consistently fresh, delicious, and filling. Generous portions as well. Will definitely be back here again n again!
Always enjoy their catered food at the weddings and parties. Permanent customer!
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options as well!
Dietary restrictions: They also cater to customers with dietary restrictions!
Parking: Ample free parking!
Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly environment“

“We recently celebrated my son's Ameen at Haveli Restaurant, and I must say, the experience was outstanding! Aaqil, the owner, and Hassan, the manager, did an exceptional job in ensuring our event was flawless.
Special mention to Hassan, who went above and beyond to manage the food and ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made our celebration truly memorable.
The food at Haveli Restaurant was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this banquet hall to anyone looking to celebrate birthday, ameen, or wedding.
Thank you, Aaqil and Hassan, for making our special day even more special!“

“This is the most authentic Lahori cuisine I have had in the U.S. I have eaten here many times and never disliked a single item. The reviews are completely unrepresentative of the food here, it’s outstanding. Just be prepared there’s basically no seating and service isn’t anything to write home about. You’re going here for the food.
Tip: when ordering your bread, other the tandoori parathas. They are basically naans but cooked with ghee and incredibly decadent“

“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“

“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 food was delicious and well-prepared, staff are friendly and welcoming.
That said, one area that could use some improvement is their website. The menu listed online doesn't accurately reflect the current pricing, which could be frustrating for customers trying to plan ahead. It’s a small fix that could make a big difference in terms of transparency and customer trust, I’d suggest they update their online information soon before it becomes a more noticeable issue.“

“Why have I lived here for seven years and just now discovered this place? The place is a buffet format with about a dozen dishes including two desserts, with one pan also holding the usual Indian condiments (the pickle was outstanding). Each dish was fresh, hot, refreshed as needed, and tasty with the heat level appropriate for a western palate. Not as many dishes as a large buffet but this was just perfect, and I'm guessing they rotate different dishes on some days. While the food is as good as most places, what I liked was the variety and quality. Service was impeccable, with dressed-up waitstaff and a very clean and elegant interior. Fine dining buffet! Lunch for two (no drinks) was around $23, just remarkable for Alexandria. It's in the shopping center, regardless of what your GPS may be telling you. With the good food, economy, and service, this is an easy five.“

“I’m an out of towner who stubbles upon this gem while shopping! Lovely atmosphere and the food is heavenly. My sister and I had the goat vindaloo and shrimp curry with garlic and cheese naan. Just the right amount of spicy and pares great with their “passion of taj” cocktail“

“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.“

“I tried to get my dad to come to this restaurant for months, but he insisted he didn't like Indian food. One night he was trying to take me to another restaurant that was unexpectedly closed. I asked him at least to try Haandi as a personal favor to me. Not only did he love it, but it immediately became his favorite restaurant and he returned every Sunday for dinner for the rest of his life.
Four years after his death, I brought some relatives who were visiting so they could try my dad's favorite restaurant. As soon as we sat down, the waiter asked where my dad was. He remembered him after all that time. We had to let him know that he stopped coming to the restaurant because he had passed away.“

“We found raaga by accident and ever since it has been our favorite local Indian restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious! I end up ordering 4-5 dishes so that we will have leftovers and the naan is better than anywhere else we’ve been. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint“
“I work right across the street and my coworkers and I order food from here constantly! The chicken tikka masala is better than I’ve ever had, butter chicken is also amazing. The food is always fresh and amazing! Great grocery selection too.“
