"Best Indian food ive found in dc! Ordered the half size of butter chicken and it was more than enough for one person. Palak and Samosa Chaats were both amazing. This will definitely be my new go to place. "
"the Butter Chicken is EXACTLY how it should be, and the Palak Paneer was almost perfect as well. My only complaint is that there's not *quite* enough rice for the serving, but honestly that's just because the curry serving is so generous. I am definitely reordering from here again."

"The Fish Kolivada was a flavorful, spiced but not hot, white fish. you can taste the coriander (so good). There were two green sauces. No idea what they were, but they were complimentary. one was thin and sweet and one was like applesauce but taste like apple and tamarind. whatever it was, it was good. The Peshwari Naan was nice. slightly sweet like lightly brown sugared with raisins. The Cheese Naan taste like fresh garlic and cheese. it was ok. TheOnion Kulcha was good, too. If I hadn't had the other two breads, the Cheese Naan would've taste better. The others outshine it. The Mango Lassi came in and adorable milk bottle. Delicious! I'd want this and Peshwari Naan for breakfast and I don't usually like lots of sweets!"
"The food was soooooo good! It was seasoned well and packaged well. I ordered the Butter Chicken and Cheese Naan. Of course I ate it together - it's delicious and the rice, it was great!!! I could wait it by itself. I've been looking for an Indian spot since I moved here and I just found it. The Mango Lassi was delicious as well. I came to order so more but unfortunately they're close today and I believe tomorrow. I will definitely order from them again. I also think they gave me a complimentary small dessert which was so sweet."

"A loyal customer of Taj of India for a decade now, this is the only Indian restaurant I'll order from and my go-to when I need a pick me up, when I want to celebrate something, or when I just want to treat myself. The Lamb Roganjosh is so warm and flavorful, and it literally melts in your mouth. Even the rice it comes with is fragrant and tasty on its own. The butter chicken and the tikka masala are also part of my regular rotation. The Garlic Naan is perfect by itself or dragged through sauce, and the cheese naan is just as good. I also love getting a side order of the Daal Soup and adding the Rice Kheer my cart right before I check out because I can never resist it --- perfectly creamy for dessert but not too sweet, which is exactly what I like. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!"

"Himalayan Heritage is the best south Asian food in DC. Jhol Momo is perfect for anyone who likes dumplings. The Thali is great if youre adventurous. For appetizers, I recommend sandekos, sekuwas, and samosas. "
"Spinach Chat was as amazing as other reviews suggested - tamrind goodness, what a special dish. Garlic Naan wasnt as soft/pillowy as I've grown to expect, but good vehicle for other flavors. Jhol (Soup) Mo:Mo [No Gluten-Free] was pretty good, I ended up liking the dough and the filling separately - clearly well crafted though, and I just eat weird. Side sauce did not have much flavor and soup base was not addicting as I like soups to be. Definitely fresh and I would make someone go in just to share the Spinach Chat with me, so they could experience it!"

"Genuinely the worst butter chicken I've ever had. It's bland and yet also disgustingly sweet and the two sides they give you were basically just a single bite of pitiful food. There was barely any food included and the packaging is not as nice or full as the pictures at all. The naan was also sickeningly sweet it's like they added sugar to everything instead of flavour. Do not go here!! I will never order from here again. There are plenty of other Indian cuisine places that do it much better like Indigo. I love their butter chicken."

"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!"
"Really impressed with this order from Tikka! Everything was well spiced and packed with flavor, the Vindaloo and Tikka Masala had great depth, and the Samosas were a highlight, especially the sauces that came alongside them. The Raita was fresh and creamy, and both the Salted and Strawberry Lassis had a great yogurt base that felt authentic rather than watered down.
Portions were generous, plenty of food for the meal plus solid leftovers the next day, which is always a win. Everything arrived hot and well packaged, which isn't a given with delivery. The Fruit Naan was a nice touch too."

"We *love* Namaste. Delicous, accurate, and fast every time we've ordered. We switch up our orders but have never been disappointed. I'm a big fan of their bhindi (okra), aloo gobhi (cauliflower and peas), and mulagatwani (spiced lentil) soup; my husband swears by the lamb curry. Always well-packed and hot on arrival. 5/5 for take-home Indian."
"For the Chicken Tikka Masala, the portion size was kind of on the smaller side. Flavors were great. But I counted probably only 6 pieces of chicken in the actual stew, which was pretty disappointing for the price.
The Aaloo Tikki was a new try for me. After googling what it was, I expected potato cakes with some sort of a dipping sauce onthe side. What I got was a chickpea stew with 2 breaded potato cakes inside it. It was garnished with pomegranate seeds, which I didnt care for. Wouldnt order this dish again.
The Tandoori Wings were really good! Lots of flavor and very tender!
The Lamb Vindaloo was spicy and flavorful, but again, portion size for the price is lacking.

"Biryani City has become one of my go to restaurants to order from when I have a craving for South Indian food. Excellent portions, always hits the spot with the flavors!
This was a group order with non- south- Asians and they did a great job adjusting the spice levels!"
"The best Indian food in the DMV area. True South Indian flavors - complex, layered, delicious - just like what you would get in India. Our family is obsessed with their biryanis, dosas, chicken kurma & basically everything we tried. Portion sizes are so generous. We order from here every few wks!!"

"Best Indian food with fair price. Good quantity and fast delivery. Loved butter chicken and garlic naan .
"
"The food was basic and not very flavorful. You've had better. Try somewhere else if you're looking for authentic Indian flavors. I got the Shrimp Curry & Rice the shrimp are small and I paid extra for extra shrimp and I only had 8 in total. This is a skip for me, you can get better elsewhere. The Garlic Naan was okay but again very little garlic. "

The dal container broke with delivery and the contents spilled. Otherwise, good food!"
"I ordered the pakora, and it was very disappointing. The inside was still raw, and it seemed like the pakoras were old and had just been refried. They also had a bad smell, which made them seem spoiled or no longer fresh. I couldn’t eat them. Serving food in this condition is unacceptable"

"Absolutely delicious packed to perfection for delivery!! We ordered Garlic Naan Butter Chicken Daal Makhni and basmati rice came with it!!"
"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!"

"this restaurant has, quite frankly, the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. the Palak Paneer is good as well, but the butter chicken is beyond good. they give you a really solid amount of food for the price as well: spending ~$45 has gotten me easily 3-4 days of food for myself, which is well worth the price imo"
"Ordered here for the first time bc our usual go-to Indian place has been inconsistent lately. The Butter Chicken was on the sweet side, but my family still enjoyed it. The chicken wasn't as tender as some other places though. The Lamb Rogan Josh was mild in flavor but very tender. The Tandoori Chicken was a huge serving but was again not the juiciest tandori I've had. The Palak Paneer was good. Large portion. Lots of cheese. Good flavor. The Chicken Cheese Naan was delicious. First time we've ever had that. The nans were good too. Nice and fluffy. The MoMo Chicken dumplings were delicious but fiery! We weren't expecting that since the description didn't mention anything about it being spicy. The Mango Lassi was yummy, but the color is very bright orange and off putting. Looks like way too much food coloring. Overall, we'd order from here again."

I’m a vegetarian and love all those dishes, of course the Palak Paneer (which can be too creamy and soupy in other places). A pro tip would be trying the Vegetable Pakora appetizer, w/ the sauces…MMM!"

"Food was really good and nice to see some interesting options which turned out well (Kale goat cheese olive kulcha naan, Quinoa Sun Dried Tomato Kale Kofta Turmeric & Coconut Sauce, Spinach Pakora Chaat, Lashooni Cauliflower). Felt like quality food too, not super oily like some places. My only critiques, if I had to nitpick, are I wish the naan was much thinner and wish the goat cheese kulcha had more actual goat cheese (was a very minor amount, flecks here and there, vs I hoped for it as a filling/spread inside). Would not hesitate to order any of the items again though."
"The best Indian food, hands down!!! They are willing to make any sauce vegan. When I found out I'm allergic to casein I could no longer eat Indian food. Thanks to Spice Kraft and their willingness to use coconut milk, instead of yogurt and milk, I've fallen in love with Indian food all over again! The chettinadu is amazing, the vegan blueberry rice pudding is incredible, vegetable korma...everything is awesome! I order from here every time I'm in DC!"

"Good food and amazing portions for its price, really the best of both worlds. Usually, I find the portions or food in most Indian restaurants on this app either subpar or expensive but this place is great in both those categories. One of my favorites so far near my location."
"The Chana masala is reliably delicious and makes for great breakfast and dinner. One order is enough for 2.5 meals with rice. The Kadhai is always fresh (the onions and green peppers are still crunchy-- perfectly al dente). Note that "medium" spice level is like a mild level for people used to (or who like) heat. We find that the mutter paneer is bland (even with medium spice level) but the paneer and peas are adequate in quantity and fresh. They don't skimp on paneer at Spicelife!"
