Came here on a Saturday evening, shared a chili paneer and goat momos in spicy soup, got a mango…read morelassi. The chili paneer was a bit sweet, although the paneer was delicious, really chewy and flavorful. Goat momos had so much flavor, the soup was delicious, loved it. Mango lassi was very thick and yogurt-y, not too sweet (it's pre-made so can't remove the sugar), although mango flavor could've been stronger. Service was decent, waters kept getting refilled. Pricey for what it is, convenient location though!

We wanted to order from Moh Moh Licious, but it literally closed 3 minutes from when we were trying…read moreto order so we settled for this spot. And I'm sad we did, because the food was NOT good. We ordered - Impossible meat momos 3/5 - they were okay...not the best and not the greatest. The flavor was hiding and the momo did not stay in tact at all. The sauce that they served alongside did not enhance the momo at all. Veggie momo 3/5 - again, they were okay. In fact, I think these were worst than the impossible meat momos. Didn't seem like there was any flavor and just veggies mushed together with salt and pepper. Raita 3/5 - way too liquidy for my liking. I thought they would at least provide rice, but no. So it was just basically liquid yogurt with a couple of strips of cucumbers and carrots. Paneer chili 0/5 - the container literally said 'paneer chili' and after 2/3 bites, I asked my friend if this was actually paneer because it was kind of chewy? Of course it wasn't and it was chicken!! I'm vegetarian so I was so disappointed that they put the wrong item in our order, especially since the container explicitly said paneer. This morning I woke up with a terrible stomachache. The food definitely did not sit right with me. I'm definitely going to skip this place and try Moh Moh Licious next time.

My favorite dish was the the sukuti sadheko appetizer -- the goat was almost jerky like, chewy (in the best way) but still tender; and spicy. It was served with these rice crispies that looked plain, but had so much flavor on their own. It was a fun & delicious play on texture, flavor and spice. The braised yak was tender and warm with the spices and rice, yum. Loved all the options for goat, lamb, yak, etc. There were also plenty of options for vegetarians as well.

t's been a long time since I last visited Himalayan Wild Yak, and I realized I never left a review…read more We went for dinner this past Friday and headed straight to the bar. The bar area is big and spacious, and usually sitting at the bar means better, more attentive service. The place was mildly busy, so I expected things to run smoothly -- but that wasn't the case. Right from the start, the bartender wasn't very attentive. We had to ask multiple times just to place our order. For appetizers, we tried the Goat Buttan and the Wild Boar -- we wanted to explore some of the unique delicacies on the menu. Both dishes were interesting, and the Goat Buttan and Wild Boar were actually pretty solid. Unfortunately, the service continued to be an issue. We had to flag the bartender again just to order our entrées and even for simple water refills. We ordered the Mutton Taas and the Yak Chili. The Yak Chili was very good, but the Mutton Taas was extremely dry -- like eating cardboard -- and lacked flavor. Throughout the night, our bartender was constantly absent. More than once, we had to ask another bartender to get his attention so we could get basic service. After finishing our meal, we ordered a dessert, the Gulab Jamun. The presentation looked nothing like the picture -- more like a sloppy drop of pudding -- and the taste was just as disappointing. And again, we had to flag down another bartender because ours was nowhere to be found. Service overall was lackluster, and the tip options started at 20% with no 18% choice. For the level of service we received, 15% would have been more appropriate. I won't be returning anytime soon unless I'm specifically craving their unique delicacies -- which is once in a blue moon.

Was looking for an Indian restaurant for my son's 21st birthday! I googled this place as we were in…read morethe area sight seeing, based off reviews decided to give it a try. Wow! The prices were reasonable as well. What a great choice, quite literally the best Indian food we've ever had anywhere, hands down! We had an appetizer; samosa chaat, so good and fresh! We had butter chicken as an entree which had the most amazing, creamy, smooth taste I've ever had, no one does it like that! Also got the tandoori paneer tikki, so good, cheese was smoky and melts in mouth, the cheese and butter naan we got was yummy as well! We got a birthday drink too which was quite refreshing. During the meal the owner stopped to see how the food was, I told him it was the best we've ever had, I told him we we're celebrating my sons birthday, at the end of the meal he surprised him with a cake and turned on happy birthday music playing throughout the speakers in the restaurant ! Such a cool ending to a fantastic meal! Not only was the food fantastic but the owner is so friendly and nice! Cannot wait to go back !! You need to runnnnn there !!

A true hidden gem! Himalayan Doko is my absolute favorite indian/nepalese place in the entire US (I…read moretravel a lot and indian food is usually a go-to of mine). The food here is extremely authentic and well seasoned I've eaten most of the lamb/goat dishes here and they're all phenomenal! The first time I came I believe my table had the goat curry, lamb curry, pani puri, samosa chaat, and butter chicken. And this time we got the goat sekuwa, lamb karahi, lamb thakali thali, and pani puri (again). I think it speaks volume about a place when the butter chicken (which is still great) is not the standout dish in a desi restaurant. And even then it's one of the most seasoned versions I've ever tasted. The dishes here are all amazing, flaborful, and not spicy (though I'm sure you can always ask about adding or taking away spice to the waiters). The service here is fast, there's never been a long line. And the place is very clean, spacious, and good for all ages. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you're debating whether or not you should come consider that debate over -- you're coming.

Maya Cuisine Restaurant & Bar is a good Indian restaurant…read more Service was good. I was asked what I needed and if I wanted a table. Wait staff took my order and brought my drinks over to me quickly. They came around to check to see if I was ready to order and followed up. Very good food selection. Food was flavorful, but some of the meat was slightly tough. My order came out incorrect. They remade the order. Overall good food. Atmosphere is ok. Seems a bit mix of Indian and Thai theme. I'd give Maya Cuisine a 3.5 rating so I'll round up to 4. I recommend Maya Cuisine restaurant and I'll be a repeat customer.

We ordered plenty of appetizers. All delicious. For apps we ordered the Salmon Tikka, and the Fish Fry. The Fish fry was my favorite. They used tilapia fish which was very well seasoned. The salmon Tikka was delicious as well as it had great flavor and cooked to perfection. For our entrees I ordered lamb curry spicy and garlic naan. I absolutely love their naan. The lamb curry was good and flavorful but was not at the level of spice that I desired unfortunately. I asked for really spicy and I received mild spice. For dessert we ordered the rice pudding, gulab jamnun, and the carrot pudding. The rice pudding was my favorite. It was very light and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. The carrot pudding and the gulab were good but not really my thing. The ambiance was great. Spice Life is a dine in and take out restaurant. Many people dine in during the evening hours so their weren't a lot of people during lunch time when we visited. However, it was still a good time. They had good music playing and some games playing on the tv. Of course I will visit again soon! Cheers!

Saturday 1/24/26…read more Made a re-visit today to use a $5 coupon I received, which I appreciate, but also I wanted to update my rating as I may have been a bit too quick to crown it in one of my previous reviews. Also, in roughly 9 months, prices have gone up nearly $2 for specific items that I had gotten previously, which isn't a good look. All in all, I still do believe that it's still up there for some of the best Indian food I've had in Maryland, but it's not worthy of the 5-star, as the 4-star fits it better. -- #issa.cheatday

Grabbed dinner with a friend here before heading to a crafting event - the food was tasty and…read moreservice friendly. It's a self-serve style place with a counter and limited seating, but it was quiet when we went in and service was fast. We both got creamy Indian dishes with rice and naan that were delicious, and large enough portions that we both took food home. Dumplings (momos) were just ok, but maybe it was the flavor I got. I wasn't a huge fan of the recommended sauce, which was served cold and detracted from the dumpling imo. The mango lassi was cold and delicious, and overall we enjoyed our meal.

The heat hits you slowly, but it's not just about the spice; there's so much flavor packed into each bite. We also tried the lamb biryani. It's so much more than just rice. The layers of flavor in that dish are a full-on explosion in your mouth. Tender lamb, fragrant spices, and just the right amount of heat--seriously, every bite was a delight. We ate inside the restaurant, and the experience was fantastic. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is friendly. It's the perfect spot for a flavorful meal that'll leave your taste buds dancing. Highly recommend it!

It's probably really good during the day, too -- but I love ordering from here late at night! This is my go-to for great late night (but also daytime) wonderful, tasty, spiced-just-right nourishment -- mmm! I greatly enjoy their Channa Masala regularly. Truth be told, that is one of my most favourite dishes so I don't stray away from it too much .... I actually like to get a side of that and a side of Dal Makhani along with some Papadum, Mango Chutney, Mixed Pickles and Raita -- a perfect little (but not too little!) meal with some flavour left over for later .... (Ooh, should I be giving away my secrets so freely like this? Hmm ....) The Garlic Naan is also very good. I can't comment too much on most of the menu since I liked what I got and have stuck with it! (Also, I've been eating from here for years and years and don't remember everything I've tried ....) One thing I can say about this place is: I have never been disappointed! I would say that dining in late at night during the winter, it might be a little bit cold for those who are used to more heated spaces .... In terms of accessibility, if you need an entrance without stairs, then using the front entrance would be the way to go -- and since the parking is in the back and the front entrance is on a major road without parking right there, you would need to go around to the front from the back, which also involves going down an incline using the sidewalk. (I have provided a photo of the back staircase for you to see.) Highly recommended! Yay! Also, super-yummy-yum! :-D

We've ordered from here about 20x now and built up some reliable go-to dishes including the Aloo Gobhi and Channa Masalla. Roti and Garlic Naan are also great. I do recommend doing delivery or pickup as the place is very much a hole-in-the-wall joint and less of an actual restaurant than a kitchen. Still amazing food, very consistent. There's zero chance I won't be ordering again in the coming month.

I had another destination in mind, but when I saw the sign that said they had indian, nepalese, and…read moreEthiopian food, I stopped in my tracks. It wasn't a platter type of night, but both Indian and Ethiopian cuisines have some great appetizers, so we stopped in after a movie. It was cool to see the breakdown of a vibey bar scene on one side and a sit down area on the other period both sides had the World Cup showing, so there was really no going wrong. The woman who greeted us led us to decide where we wanted to go. According to their hours, they are open until 1AM. We decided to get the stuffed naan basket, sambusas, and chicken momos -- A nice but fairly light spread for the evening. We or later told that they were finished with the naan basket... For an Indian restaurant more than 3 hours before they closed, that was surprising to me... I should have specified whether it was naan in general or just that basket, but still. The other two items came after 25 minutes or so. The sambusas were fried HARD, but had a great flavor. The momos were solid! We had a good time catching up, and they did great keeping water refilled (mostly). It took a while to close out -- they probably thought we were invested in the game and not in a hurry, but it's a weeknight and we were on Metro's time. I am curious about their proper Indian and Ethiopian entrees ... By the way, I saw a mouse right before we left... It was in the back on the dining room side past the tables.

You can pay for your meal if you want to--but you make up your own price, and you pay secretly/anonymously in an envelope that you drop into a slot! Or, you can "pay it forward" in some other way. Our volunteer waitress suggested baking cupcakes for a neighbor, for instance. This was really great, in every way imaginable. I just got off the phone with my mom telling her how great it was. :-) (PS, this Himalayan Heritage location only does Karma Kitchen every last Sunday of every month, but people can also go to the Bethesda location on a diff Sunday each month--I forget which.)
