I sat down after work and ordered a drink. Was eventually given a menu after 30 plus minutes of asking. One hour later no one took my order despite asking various servers who said they would be right back. Eventually left cash and walked out. Was disappointed they made no effort to allow me to place an order. read more

This is the best Indian food I've ever had next to catching a flight to Delhi. They have ruined me for all other Indian food in NOVA. Rogan Josh is fire, Tikka is fire, the naan and roti are... you guessed it, fire. The service is on point. Always polite and friendly. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't eat here. read more

Skip this place $50 barely fed my 6yr old, 8yr old, husband and myself! Sadly the food was underwhelming as well. The nan was bland (supposed to be garlic) and I ordered two but received one large piece. The butter chicken was almost sour in taste which was a surprise to me since I've eaten my share of Indian food. The chicken tills masala* was the savior of the whole experience and would of been better if they could of given more than half a checkbook breast for the $$! My first and last time eating here! Oh and also don't bother checking in they won't give you your discount anyways! read more

The tandoori and butter chicken are phenomenal! I've eaten Indian food all over Northern Virginia BUT I always end up right back at Preet Palace. Authentic Indian food. Prices may be slightly higher than other places but for good reason!!! They spare no expense on the quality of their food. read more

Terrific food. Some uncommon spices in traditional dishes, but it works really well. What to get? Palak Paneer, med spicy. Lamb Vindaloo, spicy. Mango shake. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Could be better but needs more attention in sanitation. I have got glasses with dirty marks on them twice.

Used to be regulars, but it's out of our way from Leesburg. Stopped in today for lunch buffet and were reminded of why it was a favorite. Yummy butter chicken, lamb curry, tandori chicken. Atmosphere isn't much but it's ok. read more

For fairly no-frills Indian, the Preet Palace consistently delivers. Try their lunch buffet--great deal though it isn't too extensive. Their dinners are great. We usually do the chicken korma or rogan josh, and they easily customize to spice level. Their rice is incredibly tender and fragrant--the best rice I've had at any Indian place. They often put a cinnamon stick in for extra flavor. Service is iffy sometimes, and can be and is quite slow at times, and the place is always empty. read more

Ordered pick up here for lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful. I accidentally ordered a sweet lassi instead of a mango lassi. They told me no problem and had a mango lassi made right away! I really appreciated them doing that even though it was my mistake. Food was delicious and had very generous portions. read more

One of my favourates places to order delivery food. Lamb Roganjosh, Hot Jalebis, Tandoori Chicken, Dal Makhani, Chicken Karahi, Aloo Paratha list is endless awesome food .. Strong Recommend their delivery food for Lunch and Dinner.. you wont be disappointed !! read more

Went for Sunday Brunch (until 3pm on weekends!). The service in this place was pretty awful (we had to ask for large plates; someone else asked for spoons; there weren't enough bowls; no condiment cups for the chutneys; my used plates stacked up; one of the waitresses was kind of spazzy; one of the waiters was kind of spacey; some other tables were left dirty for longer than I would prefer)... BUT The food was pretty good. It might be because I've been to Minerva too many times (and I think a lot of their food is too spicy; naan's too chewy; have to bet on what the ONE dessert option will be) but I REALLY liked more than a few of Preet Palace's offerings: 1) PALAK PANEER. My favorite. And the paneer at this place is especially cheesy. Mmm. 2) THREE desserts. Gulab jamun (strong cardamom flavor... my fave!), kheer (with 2 types of raisins, not too sweet, with cashews), and what I call fried funnel sugar (the crispy, candy-like, funnel cake-resembling sweet). 3) Lamb!!! 4) I usually think tandoori chicken is eh, but here--very nicely spiced and insanely tender and juicy. 5) Neverending naan! They bring it hot, to your table. Love it. Butter chicken's really good (although it's still the best at Minerva, in my opinion), they offer a fish curry (but it's too fried and smelly for my tastes), and if you want a lot of fruit for dessert, they don't have it (but I mean, 3 INDIAN desserts. I would sacrifice orange wedges for gulab jamun, come on.) Oh, also, my sister's vegetarian and she was pretty much able to eat everything save a couple dishes. read more

Awesome and authentic Indian. I've been to India and this is the closet that you can get to authentic dishes. I'm always craving the lamb dishes. The spice level is just right and naan bread is delicious. I love when you enter the bar you can purchase authentic sweets. read more

Preet Palace - Indian Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I would have given it a 4 or 5 for the food, but the 2 star is for the customer service. I ordered over the phone at 2:37pm and I am 20 min away, and the person said to come in 20 min. I was there at 3:07pm and he said to come before 3pm cause he was having lunch. Seriously!!!!! They should have mentioned it over the phone. read more

I personally love the food there so I invited my husband to eat there and he loved, he was so craving for the food there, but I am rating one star because my husband had a bad experience, he use to go once a week for a to go plate and they usually charge him like 11 but the last Thursday a new guy there charge him $17 and when my husband asked for the menu he even answered him just pointed the table, my husband doesn't want to come back, I am very disappointed, we won't be back there. read more

Great Indian food. Very affordable lunch buffet. The staff is very friendly. It's tucked away in the corner of a shopping center. I will definitely return. read more

Let me start with this the MAIN thing in a restaurant is what??? The food and this place that thing issss terrible butter chicken zero flavor ,shahi (royal) paneer (cottage cheese) not shahi no aroma useless ,naan no taste tandoori chicken no taste not even close so I ended my lunch with some yogurt and rice only saving grace and one more price was nice under $11 bucks service not up to the mark not professional at all the place needs a deep cleaning carpet on the floor is not clean and looks very old floor staff needs to pay attention to the customers not television end result I do not think I am paying any visit there not any time soon read more

*This rating is based on delivery experience as a whole only. I have never eaten at the restaurant and this is not my go-to for sit down (another Indian restaurant won my heart long ago for that experience). But food itself is solid 3 stars for the area* I order delivery from here once a month on average. I have to say they get it right more than they get it wrong. It's not perfect, it's not a D.C. premiere spot ya know- so I'm rating it all things considered. When I order it's for the whole FAM, consistently 4-7 dishes. What I can say is the portions are generous, the food is hot when delivered, they've not once mixed an order up, and delivery personnel are always very friendly. Delivery will take about an hour as stated so no surprise there. There have been a handful of times when I thought "eh the quality of this dish isn't as good usual" or "eh the meat in this dish isn't as good as usual". But "as usual" is the key. It's consistently as I expect and my tummy is full and taste buds content. Try the butter chicken, or any of the lamb dishes. read more

Take out had one Order missing. Fortunately I checked outside and went back in to get it. Quantity very less for the price compared to other similar restaurants . No condiments like chutney/ raita/ pickles --One time only for visit for me read more

If I want lamb please gimme lamb! Don't mix beef and lamb to extend the product...need more variety...poor service.

We ordered delivery. The food is horrible. It was overpriced, the food was bland and they didn't bring our entire order. I ordered curry pakora. The vegetable dumplings were like cardboard both in texture and taste. We tried it because our normal Indian restaurant was closed. If we have this situation again, I'll order pizza. read more

True North Indian flavors and good menu options from North India. The food quantity is little less than nearby Indian restaurant and specially for the cost. I have tried vegetarian and non vegetarian curries and both are delicious. read more

Not amused upon entering when right before they set us they doused our table in Windex! Now this is my first time here, and first impressions are really lasting. The waiter in the baseball cap that is mentioned in yelp reviews looked pissed off when we told him we needed to sit at the next table because of the smell.. Strike one! The food choices at buffet are mediocre, the bins that the food were in were fairly empty. The flavors we're okay, not the best I've had. Towards the end of our meal the waiter and host were attempting to redeem their bad attitudes since 'tip time' was near. Not falling for it! Plenty of other restaurants to sample -wouldn't return. read more

Food here is was very bland and the service was terrible. I went here during the lunch buffet and decided to order from the menu instead so I could take home left overs. After waiting over 25 minutes I went to waiter and asked him if my girlfriend and I could switch over to the buffet since the butter chicken was taking so long. He rudely said "No". After waiting another 5 minutes our butter chicken finally came out.. And there was hardly any chicken and a very small bowl of rice. When we were ready to leave, I asked the waiter for a bag to put our leftovers in and the waiter just starting serving other tables.. Needless to say we just left. Will not be returning here. read more

A little background: I met my husband while I lived (and am from) Culpeper, Va. He is from the Fairfax area and has traveled all over the US on his own and the world with his family. He insisted Indian was delicious and that I'd love it. I had never experienced anything this ethnic before and was SO SO SO surprised and LOVED it! My first dish was flavorful and very comforting, and now that I have been able to sample other Indian establishments (along with other middle eastern and east Asian places), I can say this is my favorite in the area. Every time we eat from Preet Palace (frequently.. probably 2-3 times per month), it's great. We sometimes get delivery and sometimes eat in or take out. When you eat in, though, portions are a little small for the price. When you take out or get delivery, portions are much larger and make sense for the prices you're paying. The last person that delivered was SO nice and talked to me at my door for about 5 mins about the incoming snow, which I was more than happy to do. Food quality is great. Consistent (which is important). Service is so-so when you dine in. If you're in more of a hurry, I'd suggest Rasoi of India across the street in the shopping center where Grand Mart and Advanced Auto is, but this Preet Palace has the quality.. their Naan has always been hot and fluffy and they offer a variety of different naan and stuffed breads (Rasoi has what seems like greasy and very quickly cooked naan which results in less flavor and poor mouth feel/taste). In a quest to try different foods, I order 2 different Naan or breads every order I make and have not been disappointed once. I personally suggest (especially if you're an Indian food rookie, like I was the first time) the Rogan Josh. The meat is super fresh and tender tasting and the sauce you can order as mild, medium, or HOT! I always get medium. Hubby always gets HOT! no matter what he orders but usually gets the Lamb Vindaloo, which even I love as HOT! haha. I love this place.. You'll be put off by the dated decor in the joint and the lack of patrons, but we have always had amazing food no matter when we go (mid week, first of the week, or weekends)... but again, I suggest delivery (for portion to cost ratio reasons.. you can always have leftovers!). read more

Food was subpar. Do not come here if you are looking for good Indian food. Will never patronize this place again.

Naan - poor Salad - below avg Butter chicken - average tandoori chicken - average Samosas - awesome Rice - very good Spinach - average Ambiance - the pits Service - poor at first then great - understaffed in restaurant for sure I will not be going back, not as good as Tandoori Village. read more

I am so happy we found this restaurant. Now we dont have to drive all the way to Tysons corner for good Indian Cuisine. The food tasted amazing and the service was really great too! read more

Great place if you are White or Caucasian looking, not so much if you are brown or black or anything else. The owner greets whites with smiles and spends lots of time talking to them at their tables while the non-whites need their water refilled or are needing other service at their tables. I was absolutely disgusted by the racist behavior. They really should have a 'whites' and a 'colored' section that way you can know up front that if you ain't white, you're a second class customer here. Again, great place if you are white, the manager will literally lick your feet. I was willing to try them again after I saw this treatment once but when I saw it the 2nd time I had to put up the review and what's more, my visits were a few years apart. read more

We ordered delivery which they said would take approximately 45 minutes. One & a half hours later, we finally got our delivery. The size of the portions were about 1/4 of what you get in the restaurant. The food was EXTREMELY salty and to really top it off, I found a small metal shaving in one of the dishes. Not their best show. And when I called the restuarant to complain, I was asked, "So what do you want?" I hadn't called to ask for anything, I just thought they should know. I have no intention of ever eating or ordering from there again. read more

A friend of mine and I went here about 5pm and according to the sign, they were open. In fact, I know they were open because the door was open and we could step inside. Spent about 5 minutes standing there, waiting and calling for someone to come out and seat us. Well we weren't sure if we seated ourselves or if they did it, so we waited. And waited. Finally a waiter, who didn't seem entirely happy to be there or terribly excited to see us, came out and stared at us. So I stared back. At this point, I was ready to go to McDonald's but being that I was there, and hungry, and you know staring makes you hungrier for some reason, I asked him if we could sit. He stared and said sure. Okaaay. Aside from that terribly first impression of service, everything else went smoothly. The food was good, nothing to get super excited about but the service was lousy. If you go and don't have a staring match, kudos! You have one over me! read more

Ordered delivery last night food was piping hot and very good, it did take all of 45 minutes for it to arrive, but was well worth it. I ordered online and after about 10 minutes of placing my order they called to confirm that everything was correct. I will definitely order from here again and they seem to be the only Indian food joint in the area that will deliver. read more

We stumbled on this as it was close to our hotel. Great food, good menu and free delivery within a few miles.

I can only speak for the butter chicken (I usually find something I like at a restaurant and stick with it), but -- I'm telling you -- I don't think butter chicken can get much better than this. My only complaint is that dinner is a bit expensive ($17 for naan and main course), but you get a lot of food. read more

We finally got the chance to eat here! It has been recommended to me several times by different people I think the area. The food was great! The service was genuine and personable. It has an extra special touch being a family business. It was the right place for us to go after work to enjoy a relaxing meal and unwind. read more

Love this place. Have only done take-out and delivery, but it has always been great. Portions are good size and food is excellent. Highly recommend. read more

They serve authentic Punjabi food, sometimes with a touch more cream in the curries that make them heavier for regular desi-food days. But we visit this place every other weekend for the HEAVENLY ALOO PARATHAS!! Authentic, pillow-soft parathas fresh off the tava with a side of equally appetizing raita. Yes, they are a bit pricey but for something that invokes serious childhood nostalgia, its totally worth it! read more

The food is comparable to other Indian restaurants in the DC area, nothing stood out as stellar. Service needs to be worked on. Admittedly, I continue to go to Preet Palace since I get airline miles there. If I didn't I would probably drive further away to a better restaurant. read more

Food is pretty good but I wouldn't dine-in. The restaurant is in the back corner so it's difficult to find if you're just doing a drive by. I stopped in one night after work to grab some quick takeout but it wasn't quick at all. It took a very long time to get an order of naan, eggplant and butter chicken. Food was pretty good when I got home to eat it but you should definitely plan on doing some shopping at the Trader Joe's next door to kill some time (felt like a 20 min wait time). I have to say I wasn't very impressed by the decor of the restaurant. On a Friday night, there were maybe 2 couples/families eating there so it was very quiet and not much of an atmosphere. I wouldn't take a date here, not b/c of the food but b/c of the atmosphere (or lack there of). If I come back it'll only be for takeout (with a call-ahead). read more

Mostly empty both times I have gone and the service is truly awful. I figured the first time was an exception and tried again today and NOPE, same experience. Prices are SUPER high for the entrees as well. The rice pudding is watery, the soup was so full of pepper it was barely edible. A couple of the dishes are definitely decent (I like the butter chicken) but honestly this is the worst Indian Restaurant I have encountered in the D.C. Metropolitian area and I have been to a BUNCH. Go to Tandoori Village straight down 28 for a FAR better dining experience. read more

Impressive dinner menu. The service was slow even though there were only 2 other tables occupied but the management was friendly. The tandoori platter and veggie thali were fantastic and they didn't hold back on making the platter extra spicy (which is what we wanted). read more
