This review is based mostly on delivery orders and one I fi-na-ly got there in-person to-go (takeout) visit! Best open late place around! 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 read more

Methi Indian and Nepalese Cuisine - Great Indian food and open late! - Indian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Portions sizes and prices are about average but food texture and flavor are good quality and consistent. 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. read more

Very good benefit of this place is they close quite late (until 1 am). That's good for night people who just get off work or feel hungry late night. Many interesting Indian and Nepalese food choices. I ordered take-out Chicken Saag, Chicken Biryani and Garlic Naan. They might not the best Indian dish that I have ever had before, but I can say, the food was fine and has a standard taste that supposed to be. (quite mild) The restaurant building condition seem hidden and aged. There are some seating tables are available inside, that is clean and organized anyway. They have free parking behind the restaurant, but it is quite narrow and limited especially day time. read more

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, M is for Methi. My girlfriend at the time & I first went here in January 2020. We were impressed with the butter chicken & saag or whatever Indian dishes we got that night. Staff was nice & efficient. This is a small place and not very nice inside, but prices were reasonable & good food. We went I think 2 other times in 2020 but never ate in there again as it was Covid, but it was still a good to go option for us. I moved away from Wheaton in November 2020 and haven't been back. This is very good Indian food, but there are some better choices closer to me in Columbia. However, if I was in Wheaton, I wouldn't rule out going here. read more

Avoid this place. The food was inedible. I got the Aloo Gobi and Garlic Naan. Honestly, I wanted my money back, but after reading the reviews, I didn't want the hassle. The owner is combative with poor reviews on Google, so I just threw it out. read more

This restaurant is nothing to write home about; the food quality could be much improved and more flavorful. While there many not be many Indian options in Wheaton, in particular, I would nonetheless recommend other restaurants and/or making the trip into DC. read more

Let me start with saying that I've only been here twice, and in both situations Methi was my last option. Methi, is a good neighborhood spot if you have a taste for some good curry. The service is good. Would I tell all my friends there is a great Indian food spot you have to try - that would be a stretch, but for a neighborhood spot when you want a change of pace or something different - Methi will satisfy your needs. They have a strong variety, the butter chicken, the vindaloo lamb, vindaloo chicken, so the spices are good - very tasty. I even believe they'll make it more spicy if you ask for it. There are many things to choose from, which means it is also vegetarian and vegan friendly as well. A solid local spot for the Wheaton community. read more

Flavorful/Small Portions! First time tried "Methi" (9/17/22) via UberEats Delivery. Got a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal for "Chicken Curry." I ordered the "Chicken Curry ", "Mango Lassi" & "Rice Pudding." My meal arrival: chicken curry/rice still warm. Well packaged. The chicken curry had a good flavor. Now why mediocre rating... The chicken curry-watery texture & mango lassi watery too. I prefer a creamy lassi. The rice pudding watery yes! The portions also small. Perhaps dining @the restaurant the meal will tasted better? See Photos! read more

Some things from the restaurant are pretty good, such as Chicken Karahi, Chicken Korma, Chicken Saag, and others. But the "Lamb Seekh Kabob: Minced lamb blended with ginger, garlic, onions, and herbs - Grilled in skewers in our tandoor oven" is an outright con job. First of all, the lamb has not been minced at all. It is simply chunks of lamb. Second, it has not been grilled in skewers. There is no evidence at all that the lamb has been on skewers and no evidence that it has been grilled rather than just heated up. Extremely disappointing. read more

Call about an order that I made through Uber Eats and the guy on the phone literally says "OHHHH MYYY GODD". I just called for 2 questions. And goes on saying he has to multi task and can't spend too much time on the phone with me. Mind you, the convo lasted 30 seconds. screw this place. Should have waited to try the food as well. read more

Methi is a great affordable Indian place with the perfect amount of spice. My wife and I ordered on UberEats last month and got a BOGO of the Rajma (a kidney bean dish), as well as a Salmon Curry, a Goat Biryani, and a Lamb Roganjosh. We had plenty of leftovers for the next day or two and will certainly order again. read more

Really enjoyed the food from Methi! The goat curry and lamb curry were excellent! We ordered the medium spice level and it was perfect for me. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice, so I would suggest going with the spicy option if you enjoy more of a kick. We also got the lamb kabob which was deliciously grilled! I tried the vegetable samosas as well. They were not the best I have ever had, but were okay. The two dipping sauces were great! All and all a solid spot and the man who was working the night we stopped in was so helpful as we debated on what to eat while combing through the menu. We will be back! read more

Accepts both cash and credit card. They also are utilizing DoorDash, an online delivery service. We did use doordash for this order. My review will be on the restaurant and not the service by doordash. We ordered from here as we drove past it a few times when we are in the area. We were craving for some Indian food and wanted to give this place a try. We ordered the lamb vindaloo and another lamb dish (can't remember the title). We also ordered their veggie samosa. For starters, their veggie samosa was nice and crispy. Comes with two types of sauces to make the experience more interesting. The samosa were packed in a brown bag, but was not sealed. To management, Consider closing the bags to prevent dust / particles from entering the bag. We then went and ordered two types of curry dishes (1 spicy and 1 non spicy). Both appeared to be very similar. To be perfectly honest, I was not impressed with their entrees. Felt like the quantity for the price was not worth it. The meat was quite small and it was mostly just sauce / curry in the takeout trays. Their entree comes with rice. The tray for the rice was small and spilled in the bag due to the packaging box being too small with gaps letting rice to escape. Can't comment much on customer service as my experience was strictly take-out. Overall, I give this place a 3 star. The food was okay, sorta pricey. In terms of the quality, the food was a bit pricey for what you get. If you are craving for any Indian food, this place is okay. There are a wide variety of options in the MoCo area. read more

I always order my favorite Indian dish, butter chicken from this restaurant and have been mostly pleased in the past. Unlike other places, their butter chicken is a little on the sweeter side which I don't mind and actually prefer instead of too spicy. The butter chicken is less expensive than other places as well but the portion size seems much smaller so there won't be any leftovers. My last visit will truly be my last visit because the chicken tasted old and as if I were eating leftovers for some reason and when I got down to one of my last bites, I pulled out a hair that did not come from my own head along with my bite of chicken. I absolutely understand that this happens sometimes but that along with what I'd consider to be declined quality and tiny portion doesn't make the cheaper price worth it to me. read more

I ordered food last night from Methi Indian and Nepalese Cuisine for pickup. The restaurant is a bit tricky to find if you've never been there before. Google Maps makes things very confusion. What you want to do is park in the parking lot with the 7-11 and the El Sabor Latino Bakery, and then walk around to University Boulevard. The signage isn't very bright or big, but I found it once I was at the corner of Georgia Avenue and University Boulevard. The interior is pretty bare but the ambiance of a mostly to-go place doesn't bug me as long as the food is very good. And the food was very good indeed! I ordered garlic naan ($2.95), chicken tikka masala ($12.95), and chicken wrap ($7.95). I asked for the two chicken dishes to be spicy, and they were just the right spice level. Both were made with fresh white chicken breast. The wrap was a bit messy but extremely tasty, chock full of flavor, and seasoned just right. The tikka masala was also very good, a great portion size, and came with a good helping of plain rice. The garlic naan was not too buttery, was decently priced, and tasted fresh. I intend to return and am glad to have found a new Indian place on the way home from work. read more

Awesome take out Indian spot! Love. Always delicious! Great selection, too. Often go to Wheaton with my boyfriend and this is our go-to spot! read more

Came here relatively late in the night after 8pm. We were starving because our friends car broke down at the gas station across the street. I got the tandoori chicken and naan to go. The portion was pretty big. The food tasted pretty good and we were happy with every thing we had to eat. I would come back here again. The price of the food is good especially for the amount of food you get. The place did not have any seating because of the coronavirus. There was no seating outside because it is on a busy road. read more

This small, unimpressive-looking eatery in Wheaton, right next door to the excellent Pollo Rico, will grab you by your nose the moment you walk in the door with the wonderful smells of really good Indian cooking. And it just gets better from there! The food was as good as the scents. One of us ordered Aloo Gobi with onion kulcha; one, Aloo Matar and Puri, and we both got raita. (We'd have ordered mango lassi, too, if we'd noticed it on the menu :) Chef was happy to fine-tune the heat or lack of heat to our different specifications; and everything was delicious! We were on our way home and in a hurry, so got carry-out; otherwise, we'd have stayed to enjoy the Happy Hour selection of beer, wine, and cocktails--at only $3, $1, and $4 respectively. Next time, Chef has promised to help us two South Indian food aficionados to choose and order Nepalese entrees. So, whether you're carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan, I believe you're bound to find dishes you'll love at Methi Cuisine. read more

This lockdown had me craving Indian food. In hopes of supporting local business we reached out to Methi via Ubereats for dinner tonight. I didn't mind the wait time considering the current situation, but we did wait about an hour and ten minutes (we live about 15 minutes away). The paneer ($14) was basically 15 small chucks in tomato soup. I was shocked how sweet and watery this dish was I wouldn't order it again and I wouldn't recommend it. The nan was placed on foil in the bag but was not covered or in a container. With the on going health concerns I didn't even both eating it. I would've preferred it wrapped completely or cut to fit inside a container. The Parmesan fries were honestly horrible. Soggy and no flavor. Long strips of cheese were at the bottom of the tiny bag. I understand we got the order delivered which could have been the issue (and the fact that we ordered fries from an Indian restaurant) but never again. The butter chicken was the only thing worth getting but having spent $44 on dinner I really have no intention of returning to this restaurant. read more

The food is so flavorful and delicious. Very tasty and a quick and cheap eat! The service is very fast and short, no frills. They know they make good food. read more

Rapid delivery and reliably good food. While we usually order the same thing, we should try something new here.

I was really disappointed and underwhelmed with the food. It was lacking in flavor overall. It is affordable but the food is not great.

Ordered from here several times via UberEats. For us, it's a go-to, solid Indian spot to order from. The prices aren't too high, good servings size and decent food. We usually order the curries - favs include butter chicken, chicken saag, garlic naan and samosas. It's a pretty decent, affordable spot to order from. read more

I got the boneless chicken kabob and mango lassi. The boneless chicken kabob was a bit dry, not spicy (which i like) but it seems lacking in some flavor. In all, the chicken was not juicy but still delicious. The mango lassi tastes good but it kind of looks too unnaturally orange like it has been colored. I do recommend getting their butter chicken and pakoras as those really shine in this restaurant. read more

Grabbed the lunch special at Methi after passing it for months. The special - two options and rice for like $7 and $1 for naan. Or something like that. It was good - solid - but not the number one place I have ever been. It's a simple carry out (few tables in there) sort of place. I got some chickpeas (good but spicier than I prefer) and butter chicken which was pretty yummy! The naan was fantastic. Now here's the bad news... while I sat there eating in a nearly empty restaurant, I enjoyed the sounds of someone coughing and hacking from the kitchen. Sigh. Let's all hope they washed their hands and covered their mouth. read more

The worst experience I've ever had at an Indian restaurant, and I don't write low rating reviews lightly. I used Uber Eats to order my delivery from Methi and I have to say the ONLY pleasant experience about this order was the delivery method. Kudos to Uber Eats. For the amount of money I paid for this meal, I am horrified. My order of lamb chop tandoori had barely ANY lamb meat on it. It was so charred that between the spices it was cooked in and the blackened, crunchy, meat, it was full of disappointment. When I called to complain, I explained that I had three chops and each had MAYBE one bite of meat on them, being generous. I was then told by Sam that normally an order is only supposed to have two lamb chops. The only compensation for my displeasure, aside from being told that I actually received more that normal (how sad!) was that I could get an extra chop next time I ordered there. Next time I order there?! They're daft to think I'll ever order from this place again. The pakora appetizer was dry and the goat curry was decent, but none of it was worth a trip back. Honestly, paying my most recent parking ticket was a better use of my money than buying this meal. read more

Ordered from Uber Eats the other day. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the Chicken Tikka Masla was very sweet and I was expecting something more savory. The prices were good, and the Naan tasted good as well. read more

The very spicy vindaloo is amazing!! Extremely flavorful and delicious. If you enjoy spicy food o highly recommend read more

Methi Indian and Nepalese Cuisine - Chicken vindaloo - Indian Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I've gotten take out twice and both times its been GOOD. I always get confused when I'm ordering the naan about how many pieces you get per order (I think its one large naan cut in half or quarters, but I'm still not sure) so sometimes I end up with all the extra naan--and that's not a bad thing. I've used Methi to introduce friends to indian food before, and when you're feeding a crowd the servings are more than generous enough to allow for seconds and leftovers. The price is definitely reasonable for the amount of food that you get. I'll be honest, I haven't strayed too far from the daal or chana masala as old favorites, but the butter chicken and chicken tika masala never have leftovers, no matter how much we order. read more

Not the best Indian ever but also not the worst. Ordered the tandoori chicken and it was severely over cooked. Not saying I like my chicken medium rare or anything, but it's not imperative to dry this bird out so much. The choley was good and paired well with the naan. As for the naan, it was nothing to write home about. Also ordered 3 different naans and received the exact same naan 3 times. All in all, go here if you're in a pinch but there are better options elsewhere for me. read more

I got momos and chwela. Sadly, these were the saddest tasting momos I've ever tried. It had no flavor, the achar/sauce was extremely water down, the wrap was thick and mostly broken to pieces. But I'm mostly bummed about the sauce which is supposed to bring all the flavors together, and rather the sauce here was just boiled tomatoes and salted. I literally had to make my own sauce at home. Also, the portions were pretty small like you can see in the pictures. Chwela seemed a little stale and poorly spiced. I can't believe I paid almost $40 for this (including delivery and tip). The only reason I give 2 stars instead of one is because my food got delivered pretty fast. read more

Such bad food! I got a very bad stomachache after having their rice! I believe it was stale. Shahi paneer was just curry with so less paneer.. i can't even! Would never get food from here again! Huh read more

-Updating review and downgrading to three stars. I ordered delivery. Not only did it take awhile to arrive but the food quality was not what I remember from my take-out orders (June 2018)- One of the few vegan options in the Wheaton area and a great value at about $20 for two meals worth of food. Although I ate it all in one go! Clean plate club member. I placed a pick-up order for my first time eating here as I was on my way to the movies nearby. The bowls ended up being too full to attempt sneaking them into the theater! I ate in my car so as not to spill the huge serving everywhere. Really enjoyed the vegetable samosas (yes, they're vegan!). Crunchy pastry on the outside while still soft and chewy on the inside with a good amount of filling. The vegan Jhanne Ko Daal was yum and filling but incredibly hot. I had to wait about 30 minutes for it to be an edible temperature. I requested medium spice level but detected none so I'll try asking for spicy next time. The rice was cooked perfectly. The interior of the restaurant is sparse and it seems geared towards take out but that's OK. The happy hour drink specials are good so if you don't need a fancy ambiance you may be satisfied to eat-in. The counter service was friendly and helpful to the person ahead of me; she had tons of questions about what the different menu options were and the server patiently explained them. And my food order was ready early. read more

First the food ... wonderful even when delivered! Never had Nepalese chow mein before but it was delish. (It wasn't on any menu I saw in katmandu. I suspect it is as Nepalese as chicken chow mein is Chinese !) so very creative. ! The butter chicken and chicken Marsala were very good and as expected but ya gotta try the chick pea side dish . Yummy. Bindi masala is a family fav and this didn't disappoint. The delivery was quick and smooth. On time & hot. We were so impressed we look forward to going to the restaurant ... particularly. October 2019 ... 10 mons later ... one review is NOT enough! Again great service , wonderful food AND ez delivery! This is our 'go to place' for Indian . Bindi masala for me and the gang loves the butter chicken and fancy nans! !! read more

Methi brings punjabi delights to Wheaton, Excellent service, Intimate place, did not expect China and silverware. Nice fluffy crispy samosas, butter chicken made with fresh chicken breast, sauce was sweet and could have been thicker and spicier for me. The butchery alone made this more enjoyable then any of the places in Langley Park. Very friendly and happy to tweak anything to your liking. No more all you can eat lunch buffet read more

I was excited when I read all the positive reviews, but honestly I was a bit disappointed on a couple of levels. First of all, the take out portions were significantly smaller than I have ever received from an Indian takeout. Usually a dish will last at least two meals, but this time it was barely enough for one meal. The rice was great but we barely got any! The chicken tikka masala had large chunks of onions and green peppers; I'm not sure if that is traditional or not but I have never seen the dish served that way and I didn't care for the strong green pepper taste. The butter chicken was pretty good but a bit sweet for my taste. read more

I work next door to this establishment and someone ordered something and I tried the food and decided that I would go and order the exact same thing but with shrimp! The food came up to $19 and some change. So I had to swipe my card 2 times and on the second time the person at the register walked away to the kitchen in the back with out giving me a copy or asking me to sign for anything. I proceed to go back to my job next door and the lady who recommended me go there says that I paid way to much for what she paid $11 for vs me paying $19 to add shrimp to what she ordered. So we both go back next door and say to him hey something was not right with these prices after picking up one of the two menus that were on the table for the public! I explain to him the issue is according to the prices on one of the two menus I picked up is incorrect and i was over charged and he instantly gets rude and nasty telling me that the menu im looking at is wrong and thats not his problem (but yet he had two SETS of menus spread on the table for everyone to see and he told me that he had 4,000 copies of the "wrong menu" that he wasnt getting rid of which is false advertisement) . So after a few words being exchanged between the 3 (two women and the a man) of us I decided that I want my money back! He tells me that I cant have my money back because the food is already made! I didnt see the food anywhere and he was not handing me food either but even if it was ready I said well I dont want it because your being very rude and nasty towards me and you keep demanding that I respect you and be quiet and listen to him and i dont know what he would have done to my food after these exchange of words ! I repeatedly asked for my money back and he continuously refused ! He throws my two receipts at me and told me to leave and call my bank to get my money back and to call the police ! So I left his establishment with no money and no food I will NEVER EAT OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! The owner or coworker does NOT RESPECT WOMEN AND IS VERY RUDE ! I will NEVER SUPPORT A BUSINESS WITH BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! read more
