My party of 9 arrived at 6pm and we were treated to a fantastic feast. We shared a variety of…read moredelicious appetizers, to include: dal puri, haleem, pakora, paratha, and naan. We were already full! Then our main orders came... biryana, kabobs, and curries... all delicious and all authentically prepared. When we could not have another bite, we were treated with the most wonderful gulab jamun. Most of us had enough leftovers for another meal! I strongly recommend that you visit Aladdin. I suspect you will be very happy!

We recently visited Aladdin Restaurant in Washington, DC, and I must say, it was a wonderful…read moreexperience for anyone who loves authentic Bengali food. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that reminded me of home-style dining. The staff were polite, friendly, and very attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. I ordered several Bengali dishes, and every item was full of rich flavor and traditional taste. The rice was fresh and perfectly cooked, the curries were well-balanced with spices, and the fish and meat dishes were tender and delicious. The bhorta, dal, and vegetable items tasted just like homemade food, which is hard to find in many restaurants. The aroma and presentation of the food made the experience even better. What I loved most was the authenticity. You can truly feel that the chefs understand Bengali cuisine and prepare each dish with care. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and taste. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and suitable for families, friends, or even solo dining. Whether you are missing Bangladeshi flavors or simply want to explore traditional Bengali food, this place is a great choice. Overall, Aladdin Restaurant is a hidden gem in DC for Bengali food lovers. I highly recommend it and will definitely be coming back again.

Definitely a great hangout spot!

Nice Indian fast food spot with mild spicy food. The Paneer Burger hits the spot!…read more The crispy Paneer Burger was delicious with a thick fried patty of paneer with lettuce and spicy mayo on a toasted bun. I prefer the Burger over the Wrap. The Paratha tortilla as a bit oily and heavy and the bun is a bit lighter. The Aloo Tikki Bun was simple and tasty with just lettuce and onion tucked in a sesame bun, I recommend opting out of the American cheese. The crispy Veggie Samosa is very tasty and a good size. The Mango Lassi was creamy and a refreshing smoothie. I've come back countless times for the Paneer Burger, Aloo Tikki Burger, and Samsosa!

Tandoori Kabab & Grill is a place to get good Indian and Bangladesh food…read more Food is good. Not overly flavorful but texture and quality of meats and rice are spot on. Service is based on the owner who takes your order and then cooks it. There were two gals working when I went in having a spat behind the counter. Apparently one works next door and also at the restaurant, who was back in the restaurant to give the other gal a hard time. They didn't hide it and it was obvious they were not happy with each other, while having it out in the middle of the business. This was distracting as a customer and unprofessional. Plenty of Indian restaurants to go to; don't encourage me to go somewhere else because of a quarrel. As others have said, atmosphere is bland. Men's bathroom is clean but looks like a janitors closet. It's a place to try. Food is good. I recommend take out.

Pros: The food is consistently delicious. I would give 5 stars for the food…read more Cons: Their business practices leave much to be desired. ALWAYS call before you go. After the day we drove from DC to have lunch there on a Sunday, we were told that they were closed because they were catering an event. Another time I called ahead at 4pm (they supposedly open at 3) and was told they're opening late that day at 5pm. These are not the only 2 instances but it seems that if they don't feel like it, or if they have some else going on they don't open. I've never experienced this with a restaurant. The ONLY reason we keep going back is because the food is delicious and I have not found Bangladeshi food that is as good as this place. I would give 1 star for their business practices. This gives them an average rating from me of 3 stars.

the General Washington Dr location of Flavor Hive is now an actual store unit and not just a truck…read more There is no inside seating, and there are a few outdoor tables. Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode". The "feast mode" size was actually challenging for three people to finish! The "hive sauce" tastes like a honey mustard with maybe mayo? It's pretty good. I really wish Flavor Hive would have additional toppings - just cucumber tomato onion cilantro etc are quite minimal. Would be awesome if they could add something like beet salad or beans! The value at this place is excellent compared to the numerous other rice / slop bowl places in the area. It is a lot of food. This place went viral on social media for a reason, and it lives up to the hype.

I found this place after seeing it a boatload of times on TikTok…read more This place sells Haalal like many places in NoVA yet what makes it stand out is the Egyptian-Mexican fusion of their food. In particular their build your own walking tacos where you bring a bag of chips and they fill it with a cup oife of protein and toppings starting at $12. I usually keep it simple -- ground beef, white sauce, cheese, cilantro with Doritos as the base. Smacks every single time. Though I had their loaded fries once and they were tasty as well. With so many locations across the DC Metro area there's plenty of location options to go to if one is more convenient than the other.

From middle eastern to chinese fusion to pakistani food, there is something for everyoneee. Not everything was great but almost everything we tried was nice. Some things better than others like the nihari, their chinese was also pretty yum, gol gappa pani and chaat was yum. I mostly tried the chinese, mandi rice was ok but the meat was quite delicious and tender, halwa puri was also standard and not bad. Dessert sections was ok but again a good variety. Come for the choices, you will leave stuffed!
