    Great Indian food and baked goods! Friendly service and nice casual atmosphere. I really enjoyed the samosas, butter chicken and garlic naan. My mom had a lamb dish that was tasty too.

    This is the best Indian takeout I've found in Northern Virginia. If you can't make up your mind, go with the Murgh Lababdar.

    We had the Davi Batata Puri and it was delicious! Great start to the meal. We had butter chicken and chicken tikka masala as well as garlic naan. Everything was terrific! We will definitely return!!

    Good fusion food joint. Samosa one of the highest notes on the menu. They use ghee the right way in their dishes, I.e. Sparingly. Going to try baked goods also.

    Amazing spot. Try anything lamb... Roghan josh or the biryani. Too bad they were out of Samosas :( Cupcakes were even good.

    Pleasant ambience and WiFi for working. Samosas a bit hit or miss, puffs good. Pav bhaji and vada pav are decent, the chats tend to be over-sauced. Pastries good.

    An unexpected gem. Order ahead for takeout, though. The kitchen is not blazing fast.

    Roghan josh is a winner - perfectly spicy curry sauce, lamb is tender and doesn't have that gamey taste.

    المطعم جيد، نظيف و إنارة المكان ممتازه بالمقارنه بأغلب المطاعم الهندية في المنطقة، طعامهم لذيذ، تجنب الحراق لانه العادي لديهم حراق اصلاً، تشكيلتهم متنوعة و لا تخيب،لا تنسى تشرب المانجا باللبن!
