    Despite what the sign says, they won't seat and serve lunch customers after 2:30 - even if you arrive on time and they keep you waiting
    David J.

    They're dead empty but happy to turn away business because (despite the sign that says lunch until 3:00), they won't seat you after 2:30. Never mind that I arrived before 2:30 and the hostess was in the back not paying attention.

    Very oily, oddly spiced chicken vindaloo
    Kim L.

    My daughter and I wanted to try out a new place and she found Curry House on Ubereats. My daughter ordered Saag Chili chicken and I ordered Chicken Vindaloo, with a side of naan and vegetable pakora. We have been getting this same order at different restaurants all over the world. The good: We liked the fact that you have the ability to choose the heat level. The vegetable pakora was a hearty size and subtly tasty. Not overpowering. The bad: The chicken vindaloo was unusually super red in color and completely under seasoned however there was one ingredient I have never had in vindaloo that was unbelievably overpowering. So much so, I could no longer eat the dish. Besides that, the amount of oil was so bad I had to pour it out in the sink. Even after I poured out the oil, there was a significant amount left in the container. See photo. The saag chicken had a similar issue with the seasoning. While there was heat, there wasn't any actual spices. These dishes were just thrown together by someone who had no idea of what they should taste like. It's simply wrong. As far as the naan, it was overly buttered and tasted bready. Naan shouldn't be bready. I don't think this place is for me but judge for yourselves.

    My niece ordered carryout Indian food from Curry House. She ordered chicken steamed momo and garlic naan for appetizers; goa fish curry, lamb tikka masala, butter chicken, and palak mushroom for main dishes. All the food was delicious. The chicken in butter chicken was a little bit dry but the sauce was yummy. My favorite dishes were garlic naan and lamb tikka masala. The naan was so tasty. The lamb was so tender and didn't have a gamey taste. We all enjoyed the food and look forward to dining in that restaurant soon.

    Friendly service and easy to get to. Plenty of seating. The menu is traditional with a couple of Nepalese items. The Chicken 65 is a little on the sweet side. The Bhel Puri was solid. Amazing naan. Plus, they have a weekend buffet that has good potential

    RICE BOWL*
    Caroline J.

    This might be more of 3.5 star rating but a few things that I would take away from the rating doesn't really have to do with the food, so I will round up! In town for the holidays and decided to try out this place as it's right in the neighborhood. Pros: Good food. Tried their vegetarian appetizer sampler and it was good with good sauces. The chicken wings were nice and spicy. The butter chicken was delicious as well as the paneer mahkani. The grilled lamb plate was also delicious. Rice and garlic naan also good. Cons: Did not have any ice the evening we went because their ice machine was broken. So water was warm. Chai masala tea- milk was already poured into tea. Had a very milky flavor. Would have liked to add my own. Only one server so a little slow service. Did not make my husbands butter chicken spicy as requested and then didn't have any spice platter for him to add his own spice to make it spicer. Overall decent Indian food. Would come back again, but if in the area, I will always tend to go to Jaipur in Fairfax.

    Lamb chops
    Lucia S.

    First let me say that I I order quite frequently from curry house and I that this is the first time I have an issue. Their food is amazing. Tonight, I ordered online through Uber Eats. I ordered the lamb chops which is a favorite of mine. The picture is of the lamb chops I received. Mostly bone on 2 of those chops. The dish by itself was $26, not crazy for lamb chops but definitely too little meat for that amount. The picture is the intact lamb as it came. Still delicious though.

    Vindaloo Curry Lunch Special
    Caroline H.

    Ordered via UberEats. I got the chicken vindaloo lunch special, priced at $15.99 (plus tax and tip). As at least one other review stated, the dish was very oily (not creamy or smooth like at other places). Additionally, it was liberally dispersed with little crunchy things (I'm guessing they're some sort of peppercorns for spice) which also affected the texture/taste in a bad way. There is no option to choose spice level for the lunch special, so it came heavily spicy--so much so that I am unable to eat it comfortably. Note that I have a pretty high spice tolerance, but this was not enjoyable. Chicken was dry. Overall the flavor was decent and I really wanted to eat and enjoy it since I paid so much money for barely any food, but the spice level overpowered the dish for me. Very few potato pieces. Came with rice and naan, which were both good, but again with this being a "lunch special" the size is reduced significantly. Overall, I feel like it was a waste of money since I couldn't eat it.

    CKN STEAMED MOMO
    Sam W.

    I have not physically been to this restaurant so I cannot comment on the service or ambiance I placed an order through Uber Eats to try their momos. I was born and raised in Nepal and momos are one of my favorite things ever. Delivery was pretty quick so I had high hopes that my momos would be good. They were pretty disappointing. A little dry and just all around meh. I'm still giving them 3 stars because I realize delivery momo is hard to perfect. Aachar was also just okay. I also ordered a dal makhni (delicious), garlic naan (not good), and rasmalai (delicious, but also no such thing as bad rasmalai) I wouldn't order from here again but would eat in person if I was close by

    Amazing amazing food
    Rick K.

    I went second time and was very disappointed. We were two and had lite meal already and ordered tandoori chicken and chicken curry with two naan. I asked for green peppers and the young girl said they don't have it and I said I am Willing to pay please and then se got me four five slices of jelepenos. Anyway the chicken tandoori arrived and again so disappointed four pieces and two of them were raw not fully cooked. We did not complaint as it would Have been awful with other customers sitting there and watching so we eat half the food paid $48 dollars and $7 tip and left. This is last to me we will go there. Very bad food and same with service.

    Saw their ad about grand opening so decided to try. We ordered the lamb chops which came with rice and chickpeas. Naan was extra so we didn't get any. Asked for spicy but we didn't think it was very spicy. There were 4 good size chops and all grilled with plenty of marinade as you can see in the picture. It was more tandoori style which was unexpected since we've never seen it prepared this way. It was pretty good but we kinda prefer the traditional grilled. If in Burke, you should definitely give them a try.

    Butter Chicken
    Jade H.

    Mixed feelings about this place. I placed an online order for the chicken momos, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, and a side of chana masala. The good: Chicken Momos: Delicious and paired nicely with the sauce. Chana masala: Flavorful with the right amount of spice . Garlic naan: deliciously garlicky and soft. The In-between: It's unfortunate the main entrees were my least favorite. The butter chicken would have been better if the chicken wasn't dried out. Same for the chicken tikka masala, but also the tomato flavor was too strong for my liking. Maybe I came on an off day? Idk. I have to commend them on their generous portions but not the best Indian I've had in the area :(

    This was my first time going to a restaurant since quarantine, I gotta say it was the perfect pick! I ordered a dish called rogan josh, if you haven't tried yet you should give it a shot I guarantee you won't regret. My husband and I got there around 8:40pm we didn't know they close at 9 but they were really nice about it and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our dinner :) Just wonderful!!

It has those above-and-beyond touches that let you know that extra care went into it: the meat and naan cooked in the tandoor oven always has just the right amount of brown; the vegetables have just the right amount of caramelization. The sauces are deep and flavorful. The gradation of spiciness is nicely linear -- you won't get surprised when you jump up one level. The plating and presentation is simple and delightful. There is quite a variety of mixed drinks on offer! My absolute favorite is the boozy chai. This one might be one of my favorite drinks of all time; it's very much like an apple cider with just the right kind of alcohol in it. It's warm, rich, deliciously spiced (not spicy, spiced), and it has a wonderful layer of foam on top. Definitely try this. To cap it all off, the service here is always impeccable. Good recommendations, excellent balance of presence and leaving us to our devices. We very much appreciate whenever we get to eat during Sujal's shift, so please pass along our thanks to him as well! This place is fantastic. I cannot praise it more. We will be moving away from the area in the coming months, and will be very sad to lose it has an option. If we're ever in the area again, we will not miss the opportunity to eat here! (For the record, I am not AI just because I used an em dash!)

    Mumbai Central was such a fun find in Falls Church…read more The restaurant is themed after Mumbai train stations, and it felt surprisingly cozy, nostalgic, and homely. The space is beautiful and feels much more upscale than the prices would suggest. I was honestly shocked by how reasonable everything was. The Bollywood music added to the atmosphere and made the whole experience feel even more fun. The restaurant was fairly busy when we visited, so I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the service was. We ordered the chili garlic noodles, ragda pattice (for the full Mumbai street food experience), date naan, and the paneer lababdar that was recommended by the staff. Every single dish was flavorful and delicious. The paneer lababdar was especially good, and the date naan was a pleasant surprise.

As for the service, the staff were perfectly polite and efficient, though not particularly warm or engaging. Nothing negative at all--just not the type of place where the staff goes out of their way to chat. That said, with food this good and a restaurant this busy, it hardly affected the experience.
