Came here because we loveee Carytown Indian Cuisine, Bajra's sister restaurant, so we had high hopes for Bajra (especially since we are Indian ourselves). Bajra is a bit more affordable than CIC, and has many more "typical" Indian restaurant options, though all North Indian dishes. Service was solid. The food was actually really good! The spinach chaat and gobi manchurian made for some tasty apps, and we ordered a malai kofta, a palak paneer, and some naans and rice, all of which were delicious. Bajra has become one of our go-to Indian restaurants in the Richmond area, and we definitely recommend it (especially for families!). The toffee cake dessert was also deeeeelicious even for Desi parents who don't like too much sweet.

Came for dinner on a Friday night and the place was empty! I'm shocked. Everything was delicious and the service was fast and attentive. The decor was cute and all around great vibes

Great food. The spice level is real so make sure you choose low if you aren't really into spicy. Everything we had was very flavorful. I'd recommend getting things to share rather than one dish per person.

Fantastic! Food is excellent and so is the service. Serene ambience and good acoustics allow for conversation without yelling. A treat!

We parked across the street from Tulsi. There was ample parking in the lot, and street parking,…read moretoo, on a Wednesday around 8 pm. The decor here is fabulous. Tulsi feels extravagant and upscale from the moment you enter. The lighting was lovely, each of the different lamps exquisitely lining the walls provided a golden hue throughout the space. We were seated immediately with no reservations. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy, great for couples to catch up and talk about their days or get to know one another. Our server was attentive and polite. He gave us time to peruse the menu at our leisure, while he brought out the gratis before-the-meal appetizer. It was like a crispy naan with three distinctly different sauces. It really was quite delicious. I ordered the Chicken Konkani and my partner had the Chicken Curry. As connoisseurs of a great many Indian restaurants, we quite enjoyed the entrees at Tulsi. I savored the coconut creaminess of the Konkani. I also tried my partner's curry, and it had a rich aromatic flavor as well. We didn't try dessert because we were simply too stuffed by the end. The choices were almost tempting enough to persuade me, but we refrained. Tulsi is for lovers, just like Virginia, so we were in great company. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this spot a chance. We will definitely be back to partake in the fine dining experience on offer here.

It was a beautiful day out and I didn't wanna go home to figure out dinner. I wanted to be out and…read moreabout amongst the peoples! Picked my sons up....they didn't wanna hang with me, even a little. SOOOO I went to dinner at Tulsi. BY MYSELF The place would be great for a date or a little romance. The ambiance was a lil sultry as the sun went down. The amount of food they give you is substantial. I had the lamb tandoori it came out sizzling like fajitas or the east(I'm sorry if that was racist) The naan was delish But the STAR was the lemon-drop martini I had. Bartender must have saw, me a solo diner that had been abandoned by her own younglings and felt for me because that thang was STRONG and I appreciated it. I was a little tipsy(I don't usually drink so it did not take a lot) it was cool because my big one will drive. At the end I had plenty of leftovers that my sons will get NONE of. It was enjoyable. Will recommend

Trying to work through my yelp review drafts and came across this gem. This was such a lovely meal…read moreafter a long day of travel to Richmond for work. Here were our hits and misses: Potli samosa: cute presentation, but ultimately just a samosa. Not a miss by any means but not something super innovative in the flavor department (in case you look at the menu expecting that) Lamb rada curry: def a hit! Lots of lamb, lots of flavor. Do ask for mild if you can't tolerate heat Iike my husband and go for a side of raita also. Kadhai paneer:medium is perfect, these guys do spicy FOR South Asians which, as South Asians, my husband and I appreciate but it's worth keeping in mind for those not used to "desi spicy". Plenty of paneer which I appreciated and it was soft not rubbery. Hit! Lost in lychee: such a pretty drink! I like the rose ice in the middle but it does dilute the drink a bit. Still very floral, very pretty, very light hit! Bombay smash: spicy, smoky from the cumin, and exactly what hubby likes in a cocktail. Hit! We arrived on a pretty quiet Sunday evening and had zero complaints about the service. A worthy spot if you are craving Indian food in Richmond!

I had vegetable samosas and Kalonji Pudina Chicken. Great flavors. The Chicken dish could have been spicier, I asked for medium and I think they looked at this old man and dialed it back unnecessarily. Other than that the dishes were flawless. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The food came out quickly and was exactly as described. I cannot wait to go back.

I'm slowly learning the differences in spice levels at Indian restaurants around town, as I know Tulsi's medium hot would have packed a punch! Maybe go up a spice level if you're considering? I ordered for pickup through their portal 90 minutes early, and arrived at my scheduled pickup time. It seemed as if they hadn't started preparation until I arrived, as I waited 25 minutes after arriving for my order with few other patrons being served at the time. I'll probably place my order over the phone or dine-in next time
