IndoChen is a nice Indian restaurant located inside the Hyatt Old Town in Alexandria, VA. I enjoyed dining here when we arrived and wanted a quick dinner. We enjoyed the tikka salmon. They had really good French 75s as well. The samosa's had a good flavor but were cooked a bit too firm for my liking. Very difficult to cut into these. We also ordered the pork belly but that was dry and overcooked. Not a fan of it. The staff here were pleasant.

BUTTER CHICKEN and CHEENI ESPRESSO *chef kiss* Great food, Environment is peaceful , best customer service I've seen out here constantly checking in and asking to refill my glass the moment it's empty.

Service friendly. Server did help us order since it was our first time. She did steer us right! Their version of tres leche cake amazing sooo be sure to save room for dessert! Everything ordered was good. Portion sizes fair, and enough to share. Kale salad was interesting and delicious, if you like Kale, it's a worth it. Lamb dumplings were great, mango salad was naturally sweet, and spring rolls also good. I was nervous it wasn't going to be good because we went at a slow time. Was happily surprised! Also the mint tea was delicious. If you are a tea drinker definitely order the tea! Really good!

You have to enter the Hyatt Centric to get to this real gem of a restaurant. The interior is a mix of styles which I found to be comfortable without being heavy handed. My server was personable and helpful in recommendations. I pondered lamb and spicier offerings but went with the chicken curry dinner which was perfect in terms of level of heat and overall quality. In fact, this may have been the most satisfying Indian meal I've ever had dining out. And the price was more than fair for the food quality. I'm hoping to get back and bring my friends with me...

The food was incredible!! Very low key place by the hotel. Service was good and it has a very intimate feeling in some sections.

My hotel was right across the street. I heard great things. Indochen is located inside of the Hyatt. My family truly enjoyed our experience. The service was great. My kids had the Butter Chicken and loved it. Food was great. The ambiance was nice. It was nice inside and clean.

Located far from the busy touristy shops on King Street in Old Town, this restaurant is located in a hotel lobby. Indochen -- the dishes are Indian and Chinese, and we were the only diners in this quiet lobby. We sampled samosas, salmon momos, butter naan, mango avocado salad (so much ripe mango), chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. The food was brought out to us quickly ( we were the only ones there), and it was hot and delicious. Nothing was overly spicy, and the tikka masala sauce was complex and so good you wanted to soak it all up with the naan. A very enjoyable and relaxing meal.

I decided to stop here for mid afternoon lunch before I went to D'Brow Beauty. I've always passed by it, and have been curious about the food. It appears that the restaurant is part of a hotel although I'm not sure which one. It was pretty empty when I arrived and I wasn't sure if I could seat myself or had to wait because there wasn't a host/hostess in front. After a couple of minutes, a woman came from behind the bar to seat me right by the window. I did notice that the floor under my table wasn't swept which was odd being it was rather slow. She handed me the menu, and since I had perused it before I arrived, I told her I was ready to order. She did serve me water, but it was room temperature so I asked for some ice to go with it. Another guy came out from the back to look between both jugs at the serving station to determine which one had ice to serve me. I thought it was rather funny that she didn't ask if I wanted ice before she served me water. I ended up ordering the chili chicken and palak paneer. They served me the chili chicken first, and brought out the palak paneer almost 25 minutes later. The chili chicken was very savory and spicy, but you could avoid the spice by not eating the jalepeno pepper. When they finally brought out my rice, I'd say the chili chicken on top of the rice could have been its own dish. The palak paneer was a generous serving although I wish they would have brought out more rice to go with it. It was pretty flavorful and I had enough to take home. I think this is a decent option for Indian food although I'm not sure I'd return. I'd say give it a try!

Good spot near the metro and away from all of the hubbub further down King St. with lots of street parking. I didn't realize it was in the hotel there! There's a bar and lots of seating. It wasn't very packed on a Thursday evening which is probably a good thing as it seemed like only one guy was serving, but he did a great job. The food was absolutely amazing. From the restaurant week menu, you can get an app, an entree which comes with rice and plain or garlic naan, and rice pudding for $35 which is such a steal. I got the lamb momos which were so tender and delicious and a very yummy chicken vindaloo which was spicy and a huge serving (I saved the rest for my lunch tomorrow). I wasn't a big fan of the rice pudding but that's just because I'm a little picky. Will absolutely be coming here again!

Once again eating here at the hotel and trying a few new things while sitting at the bar and being to interrogate the bartender on my upcoming choices. It quiet tonight First round, crispy kale chat. New to me. Fried kale with mint, spice yogurt, tamarind, and a mango relish with some pomegranate tossed in. It's really good. Then at the risk of being too spicy tried the Chili MoMo chicken which has just a little heat despite being indicated as spicy on the menu which their chilly chicken is spicy. Of note, one of their specialty drink is a 30 day oak barrel aged Manhattan. $18 for what frankly a two for one and it's good. Last course is garlic naan and butter chicken. Absolutely yummy. Super moist tender chicken thighs in a great sauce.

Stayed in Alexandria on King Street to see the Cherry Blossoms in DC. Although there was an 85% chance of rain, it didn't start until 8 pm. Uber prices were super high, so we crossed the street and stumbled upon this gem. We started with the pork belly appetizer. It was cooked to perfection and the orange glaze was a perfect dip. Next, we ordered the Chicken Biryani Bowl and it was tasty. I opted for the Fish Mandarin after seeing the pictures online. It was better than I expected. Everyone was taking a piece to try, that's how much meat it had and the mandarin sauce made this dish even more delectable. For dessert, we shared a Gulab Jamun. The perfect end to a rainy night. Overall, the service was really good. Even though we were the last ones in before closing, we received the royal treatment. We didn't feel rushed in any way. So glad this place was across our hotel. We definitely recommend it. Tip: Google shows you a picture of every menu item.

We were there on a Saturday evening for dinner. We made a reservation for 2 but seemed like one of their leaner nights. May not have needed it! Got seated quickly at a lovely window table (ask for it when you do the reservation and they obliged beautifully!). I had a Gin and Tonic and my partner a Mango Lassi! We had Vegetable Momos which were ok but a bit on the colder side. We had Palak Panneer, Vegetable Chow Mein and Garlic Naan. The Garlic Naan was very good. The Paneer and the Chow Mein dishes were not spicy at all. Overall great food, great service and we enjoyed it a lot! Would definitely be back again some time!

Service great! Pleasant, friendly, helpful. Made strong recommendations. The food was good. I was a little skeptical when I saw that I was attached to a hotel however the decor was bright and modern and classy. The tables were spread out so it was easy to converse. The noise level was pleasant and subtle. We enjoyed our appetizers of shrimp and gobi. I wished that they'd just been a little crispier however the flavors were lovely. Butter chicken. Delicious. Salmon tikka also great! We enjoyed our fried rice which was a nice treat too. Overall everything was lovely
