Kuldip is always so kind, welcoming, and helpful, and the friendly service makes every visit even better. My go to orders are the Butter Chicken, Samosa Chaat, and Bhindi Masala. Every dish is full of flavor, and I've never left disappointed. If you're looking for delicious Indian food and great service, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Solid Indian food here. We've been coming here over the years mostly for take out. Since my last…read morereview, they renovated the interior and looks much more warm and inviting. While we were there, it was obvious that a bulk of their business is take out. Plenty of people came in to pick up their orders. One of my biggest gripes of late with their take out has been the portion size. It is noticeably smaller than other places. So when we sat down to eat, I was pleased to know that we could get more rice. We had 3 bowls of rice. But the nicest part was we didn't even have to ask. The guy asked us if we wanted more rice...3 times! I think I may have to eat there more often.

We ordered the chicken korma and butter chicken at different spice levels. Just a heads-up: the spice scale leans very American-mild, so if you actually want heat, order a 3 or higher. That said, service and communication were off. When we walked in, none of the tables were cleaned, and we were told the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes, even though we arrived about 2 hours before their posted closing time. It felt rushed and unexpected. Because it's family-owned, it's possible they had something going on (Friday night, maybe closing early), but there were no signs posted and no notice online, so we had no way of knowing beforehand. Would come back for the food, but clearer communication and a more welcoming front-of-house experience would make a big difference.

We worked with Reeta from start to finish--from placing the order in person to final payment on delivery day. The food and service were the best we've experienced in many years. During delivery, there was a minor item issue due to a misunderstanding on our part. However, right before our event started, Reeta personally drove to our house with the additional item at no cost! She went completely above and beyond to ensure we were happy. Their packing and delivery processes were also top-notch. We highly recommend Reeta and Maharani for both catering and dining in. They offer the absolute best Indian restaurant experience, service, and food in the Herndon area!

Honestly, I'm surprised by the glowing reviews for this place. From the outside, it's hard to even…read moretell it's a restaurant. The building is heavily tinted with black windows and doors that give it more of a storage unit vibe. Walking in, the left side of the entryway was stacked with boxes and catering packaging and the staff didn't notice we were there. The place was busy, but mostly with catering pickups. We had to approach the counter ourselves to just get acknowledged. The dosas were decent but the chutneys and sambar were disappointing. If you're craving good dosas with the right chutneys and sambar to match, skip this one. The atmosphere, service, and sides are not worth it. That said, given how much catering activity was going on, maybe their catering experience is a different story.

I had to wait another 15 minutes. My order was incorrect I ordered butter chicken (which was pretty good) with rice, and an additional side of garlic naan. My butter chicken only came out with garlic naan. After going back inside and inquiring about it I was told it would take five minutes. Sad to say it took longer.

H1B has a great location with plenty of parking and a good atmosphere…read more It's a simple Indian restaurant with counter ordering and has a nice simple seating area with big windows. Today I stopped by for lunch, just walking by, and ordered their mild G.O.A.T Dum Biryani and Mango Lassi. Kiran the cashier was nice and polite, very knowledgeable and answered all my requests very well. The food came out quickly and hot. I think the mango lassi was a bit small for it's price but tasted homemade. The goat was extremely spicy for me, even after I was asked how spicy I would like it, and I replied very mild, not spicy. It's was difficult to eat it without a lot of extra toppings and sauces to make it more mild, but then my rice turned into soup. I think that if you normally like the spices that made with Indian food you'll agree with the other reviewers here that it's a nice place to eat. For me it too hot and spicy! As a bonus they offered me to try their desert: Mango Rabadi and a small sample of their chicken kabob. The Mango Rabadi was very good, a pleasant sweetened dessert, but the chicken kabob was also super spicy for me but full of flavor! If you like Indian food it sounds like this is the place to go, but for me it's way too spicy! The owner and the cashier were very nice and friendly. I hope they fulfill the area's Indian food option as best they can in the years to come.

We visited this restaurant when it was Athidhi before covid, when they had the lunch buffet. We…read morestopped by once in 2021, but left because it was empty and they no longer had the lunch buffet. We made the mistake of coming here (on a weekday evening) and left wondering, "How is this place still open???". There weren't any other customers, which should have been the first sign to leave. Zero decor, second sign to leave. The menu looked like it was typed up by a high schooler, no description and was partially hand written, final sign to leave. Unfortunately, being that we had high hopes (since their buffet used to be good), we stayed and ordered a chicken vindaloo and mutter paneer with naan. The naan was like rubber, not sure if it was heated in the microwave or old. The chicken vindaloo looked/tasted like regular chicken curry and had bones, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I have ordered chicken vindaloo from many other India restaurants and they always had boneless chicken and actually tasted like vindaloo. The server wasn't helpful in any way and didn't seem to know much about the food. We barley touched the food, paid and just left the rest of the food on the table.

It looked like they were in the middle of a renovation and quickly put up some tables so they could feed people. I wasn't even sure how to ask for a table when we walked in, there was no visible staff. Picked this place because it had good ratings on Yelp, so not sure what they normally look like and if this is a representation of what they're really like. You could tell this place was authentic because there were three other tables and they were all Indian. We got: Masala Mirchi Bhajji - battered and fried chili pepper stuffed with onion. Tarka Dal - yellow lentils Chicken Tikka masala - chicken in a thick creamy sauce The flavors are great, we didn't specify our heat level and we got medium and it was really spicy. I love spicy and can handle spicy, but it was almost too much for me. One food downside, they didn't provide much rice with the dish. The menu is exactly what you see on the website, small print, no pictures. So you have to know what you're looking for or ask a lot of questions. Though I found out if you use Yelp to order takeout, each menu item does include a picture. Very reasonably priced, rare these days.
