"Quick disclosure - I am from Delhi and I ordered Chili Chicken Momo. One word - amazing. I had no expectations based on my experience ordering momos here in the DMV area but this was one of the best momos I ever had. Took me back - maybe a little spicy for our domestic friends but Indian folks missing home - this is it!!
Will be ordering a lot more!"
"All the food is always delicious from here but I always come back especially for the Butter Chicken. It's sweet and a bit spicy, it is super addictive taste. Portions might seems small but they do feed quite a bit. I will order again for sure."

I've had it before I never knew what it was called. The Samosas were Amazing! The Vegetable Biryani was SO good - and spicy!! I'll have to start driving to the restaurant to order in person, because Doordash is extremely expensive, but this food was absolutely worth the money! We should all support this restaurant. Great food like this is very hard to find!"

Dont think twice about making this your go-to restaurant, and enjoy working your way through their fantastic mouth-watering menu!"
"JACKFRUIT BIRYANI was sub par- had a slightly sweet taste. Was not bad but not what you would expect taste wise for the price. It's great that Viraaj has some unique dishes but too expensive for the quantity and quality.
SAAG PANEER too salty and really small portion for an entree. Again not worth the value especially when there are so many options in the neighborhood.
This was my first time trying this restaurant and was curious to try some of the dishes but not sure they are worth the price and taste!"

"The food from Tikka stood out in taste the same way as I last dined there. They achieve a balance of flavors that's unparalleled. When I unwrapped the packaging of the Onion Kulcha I was hit with a burst of aroma! with every bite, I experienced the crunch of the onions and chewiness of the bread. The Amchur Bhindi Masala maintained the crunch of the Okra while the sauce coated the pieces. I was truly blown away by The dum Biryani With Raita for it's texture and incorporation of Jackfruit which did not make me miss any chicken! The raita had rock salt which just reminded me of home! Will certainly order from here again!"

"there is so much meat in the lamb Biriyani. I ordered the medium but it still has a kick to it. it came with a lot of raita which had a good cucumber taste. it's very seasoned and flavorful. the Chicken 65 is also very flavorful and it has plenty of sauce so it's not dry. I also like that the chicken is crispy."
"The curries were bland yet overly sweet. The main flavor was cream with just a hint of spices. Very mild flavor. Not my favorite. The portion sizes were decent for the price, and the naan was pretty good as well, but overall I was disappointed."

"DELICIOUS and beautiful! The Chicken 65 was a great amount of food and so was the the Butter Chicken Wings. I got medium spicy for both and it was the perfect "my mouth is tingly but I'm not dying and it's flavorful" level of spice I wanted. "
"Sundara Just Dethroned My Tandoori Chicken Champion! 🏆🔥
If you haven’t seen the movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico, consider this your sign to watch it, specifically the scene, “Try the Pibil.” Trust me, it'll all make sense.
I travel nationwide for business, and I've eaten tandoori chicken from coast to coast. Until now, Philadelphia has held the crown for the best I've ever had. That was until Sundara stepped into the ring.
The tandoori chicken. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of char. Absolutely nailed it.
The garlic cheese naan. Folks, I'm not exaggerating when I say it curled my toes. That good.
But here's the thing. Nobody goes three for three, right? There's always that one part of the meal that doesn't quite live up to the others.
Lastly, the rice. I know, I know. It's just rice. But to me, it's so much more than that. Rice is Robin to Batman, Mater to Lightning McQueen. It's the supporting character that makes the whole story work. Without it, you're watching a movie with no sound. Sure, you can follow along, but something's missing.
And let me tell you, Sundara's rice didn't just show up to play a supporting role. It climbed into the cockpit, fired up the engines, and suddenly Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone was blasting as the F-14s rolled toward the runway!
Sundara didn't just compete with my longtime Philly favorite, it knocked it off the throne.
If you're looking for a great evening, watch, Once Upon a Time in Mexico and order in some Sundara.
Thank me later, you won't be disappointed. "

Savory, sweet, spicy, and just an incredibly tasty combination of flavors and textures. It's also huge and great for sharing and/or leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Also got a side of Palak Paneer which is also fantastic, very flavorful with plenty of spice. I did not see an option to dial down the heat so proceed with caution. And don't forget to order a side of rice with it. Oh and of course get you some Plain Naan. Chit Chaat's is tender and delicious. Loved all of it and will definitely be back!"

"Jackfruit Curry is amazing and hard to find at most places - deep roasted spicy flavors - definitely worth trying! Mutter Paneer is perfect! Rich creamy well-seasoned sauce, plump peas, and perfectly squidgy paneer. Samosa Chaat is everything you want it to be. Bhel Puri is the only surprise - seems like it's missing some ingredients? What I got tastes fine but no potato or samosa chips so it's a little lighter than I'm used to. "
"What a scam... $18 for Vegetable Korma and it came in a tiny soup container with 2 pieces of tofu, 3 slices of carrots and the rest just peas and sauce. I used to love this place but this is just ridiculous "

"The Chana masala is absolutely to die for. So filling and bursting with flavor, mixed with their rice it is the perfect meal. The veggie samosas are flaky and crunchy and still somehow melt in your mouth, 10/10. If youre a fan of spice you can't go wrong doing the samosas with their green sauce they include. "

"Best it's ever been! Chicken wasn't overcooked and sauce was thick and creamy and delicious. Rice had a perfect bite to it"
"I give a mixed review. My husband loved his paneer tandoori. He liked the naan. I thought it was undercooked . I got the chicken tandoori. There was very little meat, two small chicken legs, small thigh and small piece of chicken breast, basically mostly bones. Neither of our dishes came with the option to buy rice although other dishes on the menu did offer that option. We were not given the choice of spice level and I found my dish bland. "

They always make their food with a lot of love and care and it reflects well with the taste of their food. The food is always delicious every time! "
"They forgot to add salt to Gobi masala (says someone who avoids sodium as much as possible). The biryani was worse. It was way too spicy (when spice level wasnt an option one would except medium at best) and salty (the irony). Now the worst part - the only 3-4 pieces of meat they put in it was just bones. Never again. "

"I got the chicken biryani and it was bland tasted almost just kinda like burnt, but no real spice or flavor to it. The non-bread was also pretty stale. Probably will not order this again or go there for that matter even the raita is bland. Portion sizes are normal, but freshness isn't there."

"the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza is honestly a must-have. It is SO good. The crust is not too thick or too thin and it's just so delicious. It keeps in the fridge for your next day snack too. Their Garlic Naan always stays soft even after a night in the fridge!"
"The mango lassi was amazing with fresh cardamom. The veggie samosas were delicious, as were the sauces. The butter chicken is great, the sauce is perfect, but medium spice was more mild. The garlic naan was some of the worst naan I've ever had. I feel like they might use the pizza dough to make the naan, as it was thick. The pizza slice came to us seeming not fresh. Overall, I would def order from here again, it's the best butter chicken in DC in my opinion. Love the mango lassi. Rice was good too."

"ordered for the 1st time... the Keema Naan barely had any filling, nothing like the picture. the CHEESE GARLIC NAAN really good. not as crispy as I like mine personally. I put in oven for a few to fix.the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala both solid, and flavorful. medium is just the right spice level for those who like a litthe heat without your entire mouth burining. big chunks of breast meat that were able to shred easily. 7.5/10 will order again"
