After some shopping, we decided to give this place a try, ordering the Butter Chicken - described as chicken being cooked in a 'sweet buttery gravy', this was definitely not the case - the curry itself was just inedible. It was a mixture of tasting acidic, almost carbonated, with an overwhelming amount of sweetness, but not have any flavors. The butter naan was really thick and chewy, and the side of the chickpeas was heavily tomato-based. After a couple of bites, the meal was tossed. Probably one of the poorest Indian eats we've had. +inedible curries +located in the food courts at Potomac Mills

We placed $500 food order and it was worst food we have ever tasted. Most of it went into the trash except the biryani. It was not edible So either the ownership has changed or the Chef.

The dining was empty and it was rather cold inside too, then again it was snowing outside, so maybe that's the reason for them not being busy and it being cold. The lady who helped us was friendly and was very helpful with the menu, which was very nice. Their menu is interesting... it's one of these Middle Eastern places with so many items on the menu that they feel the need to try to appeal to so many that they have Italian along with Pakistani and Indian/Afghan - this is NOT ideal, please don't do this! You're Pakistani, Indian, Afghan, etc - stick to that food, don't try to sell everything for the extra business, it doesn't appeal to those of us who seek the authentic experience and food, but nonetheless, I gave them a try and I'm glad I did because all the food we ordered (everything in Pakistani style, since I'm Pakistani and I appreciate when this food is done right) was pretty darn good! We start with veggie pakora and veggie samosa, the pakora was spot-on perfect! The chickpea dough was seasoned perfectly and these tasted great! The samosa's dough was incorrect, like pie dough, but the filling was great! The entrées were pretty good - We tried beef chapli kabob - a little thin, but packed with flavor. Their veggie biryani was folded properly into the curry and had the beautiful colors it's supposed to have. Flavors were decent as well. Chicken Karahi, one of my favs was actually spot-on! The sweetness of the tomato in it was perfect alongside the tastiness of the curry - great dish! Channa (or choli, not sure what they call it there) was decent, but lacked the depth of "stewed down" flavor that I like from chickpea curry that's done with dried beans, this tasted/resembled canned chickpeas. Aloo Pollak was decent, but lacked that deep flavor that I love about saag or even a well-seasoned potato (aloo). As for their naan, it was GREAT! Nice texture, denseness, and doneness. I always ask for my naan to be non-cut and no grease, butter, ghee - I HATE this culture of putting that nasty, greasy stuff on naan, roti, or chipati - must be an American thing, because I don't recall ever having this as a kid in Pakistan. Bottom line - Very nice experience. They have tons on the menu and though I might not have though everything was absolutely perfect, 100% of the things I ordered were totally acceptable, flavorful, and when served with other dishes would make for a very nice meal. I'm not sure while this place has such poor reviews, possibly because they're trying too hard by serving Italian food when they're not Italian and they have no business doing this. Either way - stop in for decent Pakistani food, I definitely appreciated my visit.

The order (No. 1002) was picked up from their branch at 13600 Foulger Sq, Woodbridge at 11:50 a.m. The total amount charged was $242.57 (including a $37 tip). What we received was absolutely unacceptable. The order was incorrect and incomplete, with two meals and several items missing. We immediately called your restaurant and requested that the missing meals and items be delivered, but nothing was done. This level of negligence and disregard for customer service is shocking. We paid in full, including a generous tip, and in return received a botched order and zero effort to correct your mistake. How do you expect us--or anyone in our school division--to ever order from or recommend DilPasand after such an experience?

Rather a lot of oil in the dish on the buffet, but was given without much oil. The chicken korma consisted of generous on-the-none pueces in a tangy gingery gravy that emphasized the chicken flavor, and is very different from korma I have had, yellow or light brown, at other restaurants in the past. More of a masala flavor to me, tasty.well-seasoned. Dishes came with fluffy, yummy & warm naan. Rice was only in the Biryani. Mango Lassi was perfect! Not watered down either ice, nice serving.

The eggplant side dish is also delicious, and is freshly made, as all of their side dishes. I particularly enjoyed the rice, which is served very warm, the brown spice on the rice is perfectly pungent, it bring out the flavor of the rice.

Quality over quantity - and they absolutely delivered. My dad, who cooks very flavorful dishes at home and is usually hard to impress, gave Taj a 9/10 as well. A couple of constructive suggestions: I've been to several Indian buffets, and usually the plates are placed right next to the food. Here, you have to wait for the staff and ask for a new plate each time. I even noticed another guest taking his dirty plate back for more food, which made me wonder if he was confused like I was. I understand they use high-quality plates, but maybe having separate buffet plates could make the experience smoother. A little smile goes a long way. The food is delicious and full of flavor, but the gentleman at the front - who I believe may be the owner - never smiled or asked how the food was. I actually had to be the one to compliment him. Just a few small things to work on, but overall this place still deserves 5 stars. We'll definitely be back and will gladly recommend it to our friends and family. Great food and absolutely worth visiting.
