"SO GOOD. I got the medium spiced CHICKEN MASALA and it was perfect. If you are sensitive to spice I would say choose the lowest, but if you like spice, but not too much, medium is perfect! The GARLIC NAAN tasted amazing. Great flavor. "

"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!"
"Honestly, ive been to fancy Indian restaurants and the take out here is much better. My food always arrived fresh and steaming hot!! Delicious! Omg the wings are soooo delicious, the Manchurian flavor. The Veg Samosa (2 pcs) was extra crispy and delicious. Ugh I will definitely reorder! "

"The food was very tasty (and spicy!) but we felt they were a stingy on the portions for the price and the fact that one garlic naan was almost $5. We did not like the pickles, as they were overwhelmingly spiced (cardamom? star anise?). "

"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."

"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!"

"The Chicken Mayo Roll - Chicken tikka, onions and garlic mayo was good overall, but the chicken pieces were too big. Also, the sauce tasted more like cheese than garlic mayo but chicken was soft and flavor was there"
"the Paneer Tikka Roll was too dry. needed less paneer cubes and more rest of the fillings. the Veggie Cheese Roll was just... bad. too gooey but also bland and somehow old.
the portions are great, each Roll is enough for a meal but the flavor needs to be vastly improved. also the initial image is AI generated I think because they dont use flaky parantha just deep fried Rumali roti (which isnt bad but again, should not market it as flaky parantha)."

"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!"

"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!"

"Chicken tikka masala & garlic naan are amazing. Only issue is the portion size for the palak chaat.. was really disappointed as I've gotten this dish from other places and the portion at taj of India is about half for the same price."

"The portion is a bit smaller than I remember but the the Butter Chicken is literally the best I've tasted in my entire life and the Samosa Chaat is so tasty. Never disappointed and well worth the price!! "
"Super amazing!! We have tried so many indian places in the area and this is top tier with Indigo. This place reminds me of my childhood in texas eating at indian buffets with my family. The portions are amazing and so worth the price compared to other indian joints. We got the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala along with Naan and mango lassi's for our first time trying and it has immediately become our go-to. "

"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."

"Possibly the best tasting food I've ever had- not "Indian" food, food.
That said the portion size relative to the cost is appallingly small. I got a Kathi roll ($14) and cauliflower pakoras ($12) for a total of $26 before taxes and fees. I've had amazing kathi rolls in NYC and Philly for $6-$7, so I just assumed these would be bigger since they're twice the price and those cities are comparable to the DC food scene. The one I had from Bindaas turned out to be even smaller.
I personally don't have a problem paying more for food in a restaurant when there's service being provided and you have the ability to easily order more. But I'm still hungry after spending $26 on a takeout order when I usually don't even spend half as much. "
"I was surprised at how good this meal was! The dal makhani was more flavorful and had more of a spice kick than I am used to for this dish, but it really added something to the food beyond lentil and cream. The basmati rice was fragrant and well cooked. Will order again!"

"Are these the best Chicken Steam Momo in the area?! Quite possibly yes. They are savory comfort food with abundant filling and sauces that set them apart. I tried the Strawberry Lassi instead my usual Mango, and it was delicious and satisfying."
"I had the chicken biryani, chowmein and momo and they were absolutely delicious! The flavors were so authentic and reminded me of home. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and had a true Nepali touch. I enjoyed every bite.
The staff member who answered my phone call was also incredibly kind, polite, and welcoming. Their excellent customer service made the whole experience even better.
I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Nepali food and wonderful hospitality. I’ll definitely be ordering again!"

"I ordered the PANEER MAKHAN MASALA and NAAN. The paneer tasted very good -- tangy and tomatoey. The value was awful, as they only put something like 10-15 small paneer cubes in the dish. Do not order this unless you want to feel starved afterwards."

"They have THEE best Butter Chicken (Signature Dish)and the chickpeas are to die for! I normally get extra rice and Naan. Definitely a favorite"
"I was disappointed with this Butter Chicken (Signature Dish), it's always a hit or miss with Indian food in the DMV. Pieces of the chicken were chewy & undercooked. As well as the chickpeas (Chana Masala), they were hard and definitely could have been cooked longer. The texture of the leafy greens side was super thin and runny. The only thing I can praise was the portion of the dish, it was pretty ample for 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
