21 Best Indian Restaurants near Burke

“Very nice restaurant. The server, Pravin, was friendly, attentive and efficient. The neutral decor and soothing music added to the ambiance. I had the Butter Chicken, Garlic and Spinach rice and garlic naan; everything was flavorful and nicely prepared. I 10/10 recommend!“

“Words cannot express how happy we are that we discovered this hidden gem when we were simply looking on impulse for an Indian restaurant after a long day. The name seemed familiar from one we had eaten at in Falls Church that was a favorite of ours. And we were pleasantly surprised that they are owned by the same people. The staff here were just as courteous, helpful and efficient making sure our drinks stay full, the plates were cleared away and coming to check on how everything was. The whole experience from the presentation of the food, the portions, the quality of the ingredients, how well it was seasoned and cooked and the pricing for what you get which is a lot was right on mark in every way. We could taste the effort and love that goes into their cooking and how much they take pride in what they do. I think the food is just a bit better seasoned than their other location too. Everything tasted amazing and had our taste buds singing. We could not have asked for a better experience both times we were there for lunch and dinner and we feel most welcomed when we are there. They are wonderful proof that good food traverses boundaries and cultures amd brings people together as also witnessed by the other happy diners there of various ethnicities. Definitely on our list of places to go to and another local business we plan to support very often.Vegetarian options: I personally enjoyed the vegetable pakora, plain saag and chana masala. The only thing that could be better would be a mixed vegetarian option on their main menu either as a entree or appetizer so I could explore more vegetarian dishes before committing to just one.Dietary restrictions: I enjoyed the facts that they were gluten free, nut free and dairy free options as there are times I'm unable to consume these if I'm having digestive issues.Parking: There are quite a few food places as well as a smaller Walmart so parking can be a little challenging though we had no problems finding spots.“

“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 ❤️“

“The food here is so amazing!!! This is my third time returning. My favorite is the butter chicken. The owner is very welcoming and provides a really nice and clean experience! Don’t think twice about coming here! You’ll be glad you did!“

“We went for a date here after my husband was looking for something close to Chantilly but different. Oh wow! The food was so fresh and hot and phenomenal! We love Indian food so tried the butter chicken tacos and masala burrito. The chips and salsa kept coming as quickly as we asked. I can not wait to return!“

“Totally recommend a visit to this very affordable and fun location. The Chit Chat Cafe is in a gas station but it's super clean and very welcoming. And you will find easy parking. The service is also welcome and easy. You can order ahead or just look for a menu at the check out counter to order with the clerk. You can grab premade mango lassi (a MUST get) or get chais from premade from a machine (also exceptional). There is also a hot food holder for the samosas. Which I also 100% recommend Ordered the burrito and a vegetarian sampler. This is where it was hit or miss for me. All very well made and flavorful but I didn't love all the flavors... the butter chicken burrito was pretty great, excellent sauce. The veg platter was less perfect. First saag ever that I have not enjoyed and the dal makhani also was not to my taste. I think just a flavor preference as many things were fantastic. So give it a try and find the thing you love. It's worth the visit. It's also near the meadowlark botanical gardens and was a great treat after our visit there!“

“Authentic Indian food. Highly recommended ❤️“

“Excellent restaurants don't need lengthy good reviews. Just five stars and a concise description. Then, you have to go try it yourself.Service: agile, courteous, hot Naan and icy water always refilled.Decor: cozy, modern, and reflective of Bollywood sense.Cleanliness: Table cloths, utensils, floors, plates, everything is clean and emasculate.Food: cooked to perfection, an excellent variety of meats and vegetarian dishes.Management: The manager must be the (co)owner of the place because he's always there instructing waiters and paying attention to every detail. I once heard him telling the waiter "if the chair is a bit shaky, don't ever seat the customer on it".Price: I've always gone there for Lunch buffet only. Absolutely reasonable for the quality of the food.I keep taking more and more friends to this place because it's the best Indian buffet I've ever tried in Northern Virginia.Just go and see for yourself!“

“The food was high quality and tasted amazing. The thing that set my experience apart was the customer service. There was a mistake with one of our orders that caused it to take longer than usual. The manager came over to explain and apologize and gave us an order of another dish to eat while we waited. We will be coming back many more times! The value for the quantity and quality of the food was also very good. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Excellent food and service!! Will definitely come back.“

“I came hear after hearing from a friend about their lunch buffet. I believe the price is about $22 per person however the lunch buffet has a decent amount of selection with about 12-14 or so dishes. The food does rotate depending on the scraps they have but u can definitely expect an assortment of curries, naan, rice, all the basic necessities. The curries are usually diverse and do well to complement each other. This is my go to place whenever I want someone to explore Indian flavors since they are able to try a multitude of dishes.“

“My go-to takeout place. Amazing food.“

“Delicious and authentic Indian restaurant near mosaic district in Fairfax. My family comes here several times a year for a wonderful dining experience and we often bring friends to share the goodness. Amritsari Tandoori Chicken is a house speciality you should not miss! The Vindaloo (spicy!!), butter chicken, and Rogan Josh are a few other favs.Parking: No direct parking but it’s a very short walk to a nearby free garage and adjacent street parkingKid-friendliness: Very accommodating to kids. Dishes can be made with minimal spice and they also have a fried rice option that my youngest enjoys.“

“Mr. Sams resteraunt is the best! there are so many food options from pizza, wings, subs, butter chicken gyros, ect. Everything that my family has tried is amazing. we found the resteraunt about 2 years ago, every since this is the only place we get food from when we order out. Mr. Sam's resteraunt prime pizza and grill has become a house hold name for us and brings us together whether over a delicious meal or phone calls to tell what we tried today. Everytime we order and taste something great and new we will make sure we share the experience with everyone. Thanks again Mr. Sam! My mom of course loved the pizza she picked up and the specialty.“

“Inside of the Indian Bazar, the staff is really nice, they gently introduce you thousands of choices on the menu, I like to order Boneless Chicken and Goat Biryani. You can seat on the dining area to eat, and here’s also have other Indian food and desserts that you can buy. One thing need to remember is they do not open on Monday.“

“Great food , great costumer service, smells delicious you should gave a try I really recommend a-lot of favor choices its like cava or chipotle style but indian food.“

“One of the best Indian cuisine restaurants is this one. Weekends are buffet only (no biryanis when we visited) and weekdays are ala carte only. Their food is an authentic representation of what you had eaten in India.We found their sweet were overly sweet, but main course, appetizers were 10/10.“

“Quality and tasty food in a timely manner.“

“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!“

“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“

“Had a wonderful time at this gem of a restaurant. The staff was so kind! We ordered the chaat papri and the samosa chaat, as well as some sweets to go.The chaat papri was that perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, spicy, and tangy. The samosa platter was an excellent counterpart, deeply savory and delicious.While we were there, we had halwah (gajar halwa?): wonderfully sweet and comforting. The gulab jamun with cream was hands-down the best I've ever had, anywhere.“
