Saheb Indian Bistro did not disappoint. Food tasted authentic and the service was amazing. The decor was exquisite. Staff were all friendly and always smiled.

We were in the mood for Indian food and this restaurant was the closest. Upon arrival, I noticed…read morethere are plenty of parking spaces. Next, they have a nice outdoor seating area which many took advantage of because the weather was beautiful for an end of May day. Once inside, I didn't see a host, but a gentlemen at the bar asked how many. He looked like the owner. A second later, we were seated by our waiter. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and everything was clean and easily accessible. We ordered the garlic naan. It came with 2 big pieces and a green dipping sauce that tastes like cilantro. Yum! We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture. For dinner, I had the Chicken Tikka Masala. It had onions and pepper and it was a gravy with a buttery taste. It came with basmati rice. It was amazing! My husband that loves spicy food ordered the Lamb Shahi Korma with a side of heat sauce. He said the hot sauce was very flavorful and the lamb was tender. Everything was sooooo good, we needed extra basmati rice and it was included. Overall, the ambience was pleasant and relaxing. The employees were super nice. I did have to put on my jacket because it was a little cold for me inside, but I love it that way. When we left, we were sent off with goodbyes and thank you. We definitely will return. We want to check out their buffet. As a tip, if you go online to their website, you can see a picture of all of their menu items. One thing though, my internet was spotty inside, so you might want to do that beforehand including transferring money if that's something you might need to do.

Severely disappointed…read more Home style curry was watery / separated. Butter chicken was the same - with the yoghurt element of the sauce being bitter and too tangy. Chicken in both was grisly, and less than ideal cuts. I wouldn't complain if this was an AYCE buffet and this was one or two items, but for $22 dollars an entree it was very disappointing.

The…read morespecial menu was advertised as including a complimentary drink, but you were actually limited to just two options, and it tasted like cough syrup. The restaurant seemed very understaffed with only three servers, which led to slow service. The appetizers from the Valentine's menu were half the size compared to the normal menu, and our naan didn't arrive until we were almost finished with our meal. At $55/person, we didn't feel that it was worth it. We've had much better experiences at Tulsi in Carytown and would recommend that as a local alternative.

I did not find a wealth of vegetarian-friendly food south of Richmond, so in seeking a relatively…read morelate meal I settled on this strip mall Indian spot. It was not busy, though takeout orders were coming through. Ordering my food Indian hot was greeted with a bit of skepticism and they apparently used my appetizer as a trial run to see if I could take it. To be fair to them, their spice level is for real, and my okra-filled entree made me sweat a bit despite my high tolerance. It wasn't the best bhindi masala I've ever had though, as I didn't get as much of the fruity or astringent notes to balance out the fire as I've gotten with really great renditions of this dish. The best element was actually the bell peppers that were mixed in. A fried potato and chickpea appetizer was worthwhile, and the softness of their naan was excellent. Everything tasted freshly made. I was satisfied that pulling over here was a worthwhile stop.

Parking is a little dicey in the surrounding neighborhood, but they have their own lot, which I didn't know beforehand. The menu is broad. While tofu is not a core Indian foodstuff, it goes great with all sorts of classic sauces, and I tried a South Indian curry that gave a rich spice hit, even at medium hot. My bhindi masala was excellent, preserving the crispness of the vegetables and carrying a warm flavor with hints of cinnamon. The samosa chaat was on the smaller side, but flavorwise was excellent, including some pomegranate arils. They gave me a free dessert, which is fine enough. I spend a lot of time craving Indian food and virtually none of it thinking about the desserts, which seems to be a widespread preference among Americans. As to the main course, however, they had abundant options for all dietary needs, and the flavors were on point.

This place seems to do a lot of takeout, and I can see why. The food was wonderfully savory and duly affordable. The service was quick and prompt. We were seated within seconds of arriving. Our server gave us time to peruse the menu without pestering us for our order. We settled on chicken, ordering the coconut konkani, and my partner got something savory. I like the sweet and spicy, so I went with level 3. We tried the samosas for an appetizer, also delicious. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bajra Indian Bistro, a true hidden gem. Bring your friends and be ready to taste something amazing.

Every bite was bursting with spicy goodness! We'll definitely be back!

We were the only ones there so got seated fast and placed the order in 5 minutes. The menu had prices striked with new prices manually overwritten everywhere. I mean, they could have reprinted the menu altogether if they wanted to increase the prices by so much. They were out of a few dishes so we got the Samosas, Tandoori Roti and Kadahi Chicken. For $18, they gave us a small bowl of tangy Kadahi Chicken which we finished in no time. Tandoori Roti and Samosas were good - I recommend them. Overall for the pricey bill, we didn't have an experience that justified it. Oh, and there was a weird staff guy who came out of the women's restroom. Why use it when the men's restroom was perfectly okay??! My husband used it and confirmed nothing was broken. Would I visit it again? Only if I didn't have a choice.
