I go once a week or once every other week, and every time the food is consistently excellent. The portions are big, and one meal usually lasts 2-3 meals for me. Everything I have tried is really tasty, and have never had a bad dish. The one big standout is their dessert (if you have room for it) - I've tried their rice pudding and carrot pudding. I am not a huge sweets person, but I LOVE these dishes. I've actually started to mix the carrot pudding in with plain oatmeal and it is delicious. And the staff are very nice and very conscious of how long patrons are waiting for their food. I've also never had an issue with having incorrect or missing food. The excellent customer service and delicious food make this place a winner - thank you Spicelife!

My takeout order yielded chickpeas with a vicious kick when I asked for the full spice level, which I mollified with an onion-filled bread.

Kind of a 3.5, fine but not great for me.

The space is charming, though we did notice a patch of peeled paint near our table. We ordered the steamed chicken momo, butter chicken pasta, lamb vindaloo, and kale chaat.

Only surprise was no chai on the menu, which felt like a miss? Still, we'll definitely be back.

The spot is in Kingstown plaza, which there is a ton of parking available and you get to check all the shops around! We usually order Their Samosa Chaat as our main appetizer, the tamarind chutney they use is sweeter than the rest I've tried. The major downside is that the dish used to be 2 samosas cut in half, and now it's just one samosa, which makes the dish so tiny it hurts Also I wish they would add a little bit more yogurt to the mix! I've had before their Yellow Lentil stew or Dal Tadka, it was pretty yummy and the ginger very punchy! I liked to hear that this can be vegan (I'm assuming they would use vegan butter instead of ghee). In my honest opinion it might have needed acidity factor like a green chutney, but having it alongside the Salmon Tikka Massala (which is tomato based curry) was a great choice, because the acidity and sweetness of this other curry balanced the overall dinner experience! As for the Salmon Tikka, I think it's a pretty solid curry dish and the salmon is cooked perfectly! Not fishy after taste or smell. I like their cheese naan, because they use some sort cottage cheese or farmers cheese. their naan usually is more crispy due to the time left baking, but I still bubbly and soft to enjoy on its own, because they use spices and ghee to season them! I'm intrigued how they make their Aloo Paratha! This spot is my favorite to sit down and enjoy Indian food brought to my table during cold nights, so I'll be frequenting here the upcoming winter months!

NOTE: This is mostly replicated in my review for Spice Circle as these businesses are co-located…read more Searching for pizza late night one night, and wanting something different than the old reliable of Domino's, Papa John's, or Pizza Hut, a new place called Indian Pizza Company. So, since I was looking for Pizza, the Butter Chicken Pizza caught my eye and instantly made me craving for it. Unfortunately, it was too late the night that I found them on Yelp, so I had to wait a couple of days. I knew generally where they were located, but had no idea that they were nestled a couple doors down from the Harris Teeter I have been going to for years. Even knowing the address, I passed by the first time as it doesn't stand out among the other businesses in the strip mall. Upon walking in, I saw that the place is clean and I was immediately greeted by the gentleman at the register. Still craving the idea of Butter Chicken on a Pizza, how could I order anything else? Well, when I noticed that they also sell momos, I also ordered Chicken Momos. The sound of a Mint Cherry Lemonade spurred my curiosity as well, so that topped off my order. The steamed momos took a little bit of time to make, so I was given my lemonade in the meantime...at my request. It is pretty amazing...but, you may want to ask for extra ice as it is very sweet and very sour at the same time...but is made fresh from real fruit and muddled mint. After about 10min, my order was ready, and somehow I was able to resist the urge to open the bag before my ten minute drive home. I have to admit, at first sight, the size to price ratio seemed to be off balance. The Butter Chicken flatbread pizza is not that big. Personal sized is appropriate...but the size is deceptive. Every bite of this little Pizza was amazing. It was like Butter Chicken and Pizza were made to be paired...with a generous amount of mozzarella marrying the two together. The chicken, the sauce, the cheese, the spice, the flatbread, the caramelized edges...all make for an amazing experience. After finishing the last bite of the last slice, I was unexpectedly, and pleasantly full. So, that size to price ratio? For such a unique and amazing Pizza, I think it's appropriately priced. The momos I had to save for the next day, but they too were amazing. For those unfamiliar with momos, the dumplings themselves are not that different from other Asian dumplings except that they tend to be fully stuffed and with higher quality meat. What sets momos apart is the sauce which is rich and flavorful...not just soy sauce like so many other asian dumplings. In this case, the sauce is a rich, creamy, spicy tomato sauce...and it paired perfectly with the chicken momos. They too seemed to be too few to make a meal, but I was wrong. Totally full afterwards with smile a mile wide. Will I be back? Uh...I would have gone back every day afterwards if I didn't want to ruin a good thing!

Bansari Indian Cuisine just earned a permanent spot in our delivery rotation, and the Shrimp Tikka…read moreMasala is the reason why. Plump, tender shrimp swimming in a velvety tomato-cream sauce with real backbone -- that warm, layered heat that builds slow and lingers just long enough to make you reach for more. It's the kind of dish where the spice actually means something: cumin, coriander, a whisper of clove, and a chili kick that says the kitchen isn't playing it safe. We ordered it medium and it hit that perfect sweet spot where flavor and fire are in balance. The garlic naan was the ideal partner -- pillowy, blistered, and dripping with garlic, perfect for mopping up every last drop of that sauce (and trust me, you'll want to). The Chicken Hakka Noodles brought a totally different energy: smoky wok-tossed heat, springy noodles, and that savory Indo-Chinese punch with just enough chili to keep things interesting. Everything arrived hot, sealed tight, and right on time -- no leaks, no sad soggy containers, nothing lost in transit. Generous portions, free delivery, and food that tastes like it came straight off the stove. If you like your Indian food with genuine spice and soul, Bansari delivers. Literally. Highly recommend!
