"Veggies- 16oz were tasty and cooked perfectly. Chettinad Curry's had a great flavor and heat level. It all paire well with the Butter Naan. I order from here regularly and will do so again. Really good value for the money. I wish they had raita and more veggie options."
"My wife loved the Tikka Masala,which was the whole reason we tried The Essence by John N Nair. They definitely didnot disappoint.
The Wings with the Mango Madness were"to die for". portion were great, and the Chicken Tender's were larger pieces, and the breading was a little different than expected, but they were so fresh, delicious and cooked to perfection.
Veg Pakora was a new experience for me, but I savored every bite.
We will definitely order from this location again."

"There are so many Indian restaurants in DC and I have not found my go to place until now. This place just opened up recently and thank goodness because everything I've had from here so far is amazing. I am extremely picky about my Indian flavors and oh my God the dishes I've had from here just exudes multidimensional flavors that I expect from Indian or Nepalese cuisine. The lamb Rogan Josh was creamier than I'm used to, but had amazing flavor. The lamb madras was good, but just mild in flavor. The Lamb Curry is great. Exactly what you expect from a lamb curry with amazing flavors. I will eventually order most of the dishes here and hopefully they will be just as good. "

"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. "

"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!

"The food is flavorful with the right amount of spice—especially for me. When mixed with the rice, it balances out just right. I’m from Texas, and I will say it is seasoned and spicy to my liking as well.
The food doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but it is definitely filling.
I actually bought this once before maybe a week ago but forgot to upload the picture, so I’ll upload it with this one. The older one is the picture with the cut-up naan, and today’s meal is the picture with the whole naan. Although it’s cut up in the older photo, I do believe the naan added up to a whole piece.
The naan is very garlicky (aromatic)and flavorful—definitely homemade, which makes it worth the price!"

"The Chicken Tikka Masala was very good, and had a nice balance between the sweet and savory. The portions were solid, too. 5/5
Chana Masala - wife said it was really good. 5/5
Garlic Naan was tasty. A little spongy (probably since it was wrapped up), but perfect for tossing in the air fryer for a minute or two. 4.5/5
Veggie Samosa - very good. Nice balance of stuffing with peas and potatoes. 4.5/5
The Saag Paneer was good. Flavor was there, but the paneer wasn't fried/grilled/etc. 4/5
Overall, very good choice and I will be ordering again!"

"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. "
"We ordered Aloo parantha , paneer parantha and mango lassi. Aloo parantha and mango lassi were horrible. Raita was very liquid, sour and over spiced. Paneer parantha was average. Would never order again from this place. "

"This was the best Indian food I have ever had, I truly do not say that lightly!!! I called to request something so they were super helpful. I was so nervous because I've never tried this place but the taste of the food blew me it way! The spice was actually spicy, biryani was packed to the brim, and samosa was nice and crunchy. Can't wait to order again!"
"Leaned towards warm spices. Very flavorful. Gobi Lasooni Ⓥ was a standout. Sweet, sticky, jammy onion flavor packed goodness. Palak Chaat was solid. Butter Chicken ★was more heavily spiced than usual, but quite tasty. Vegetable Samosa ★ Ⓥ were quite fragrant with a lovely crust. Reasonable portions and price."

"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."
