The aushack is like ravioli, but I didn't stand out to me. The Sambosa was crispy but minimal filling--still good taste wise. The zamarod palow has a very creamy, curry like sauce with lots of spinach and rice. The sauce makes it look like there is a lot of meat but there isn't. Really fragrant and delicious though! Same with the lamb shank--carb heavy but aromatic rice and lovely tomato sauce.

Some of the best Afghan food I've had, and I love Afghan food. We walked in when it was quiet and…read moreit looked like it was an attentive husband/wife team and our food seemed home cooked. Ambiance wasn't fancy but was homey and cozy. Really nice portions and plenty of veg options. The seasoned rice options were lovely and my husband really enjoyed his tea. Appetizer was OK but the mains were superb and we were so full we couldn't finish. I got the seib, which was a main dish that primarily featured apples. I hadn't seen that before and I was skeptical before eating but wanted to try something different and it was incredible. My only pro tip is that when you order a veg main it's a lot of one thing, whereas meat mains come with a veg. Next time I will order the veggie combo option to get more diversity. Normally I write longer reviews but in this case I think I will let the food photos speak for themselves.

I'm a local customer and live just a minute away, so I've visited more than once. I came in for lunch today with my wife and our 1.5-year-old son. After placing our order and sitting down, the server loudly yelled from behind the counter for us to come get our water. It felt uncomfortable and unprofessional, especially with a young child. When I placed my order, I asked for extra white sauce, and I asked again when the food came out. Both times, the request was ignored. I also mentioned that we hadn't received our drinks, but instead of addressing it, the server again yelled for us to get the drinks ourselves from the cooler. The food itself was okay, but the bread was very poor--hard and barely edible. I even called the restaurant later in the evening to share my concerns, but was told the server was off at that time. Overall, very disappointing experience, mainly due to the customer service. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvement.

I also had the chicken samosa. More flat in presentation then typical types. still tasted good with the green sauce on side. About 6 pieces? You will be stuffed after finishing both. Price $30+

It's conveniently located in Reston Town Center inside the Hyatt Regency hotel. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. It paired perfectly with the warm Garlic Naan, and I found myself reaching for every last bite. I also tried the Mango Lassi, which was smooth, refreshing, and a great balance to the spices in the meal. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

While hotel parking requires a fee, you can park in any of the Town Center lots for free after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. Inside, the space is spacious and modern, and the service is quite good. Unfortunately, the food was a bit of a letdown. The kale salad and the mango & avocado salad were just okay, and the chat papadi was disappointing. Both chicken dishes we ordered, the chicken tandoor and chicken sekuwa, were average at best, and the Alu mutter tasted a bit strange. The Dal Makhani was the only decent dish and the saving grace of the meal. Additionally, the portion sizes for both the dal and the Alu mutter felt small for the price. Because the location is so fantastic, we will give them another chance on a weekday when it is less crowded.

First of all, the service is impeccable; from the moment, I walked in, the host and manager were both so kind and hospitable in a way that felt natural, while also going above and beyond. And the decor: easily the most beautiful restaurant I have ever been in. Full stop. Just a fun experience, without even getting into food and drink. There isn't a bad seat in the restaurant, and I would even want to come sit at the fun bar. Ok, food and drink. I got a sangria, which was easily as good as any you would find in a Spanish restaurant--not too sweet. They have a fun "street food" appetizers section that isn't on most Indian menus--we got the dilli ki shaan, which were kind of like potato salad in a crispy shell? And for my main, I had the coconut machi curry with fish--omigod, it was so flavorful!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. My friend got the mewa murg tikka, and I think that delicious, flavorful, savory, smokey chicken may have even been better than my dish. The habanero and cheese naans were also pretty good. I can't wait to go back, though my biggest challenge will be whether to order the same dish or try something new!

It's like being given naan, but seemed like a hard shell tortilla. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking!!! The staff were super kind and provided tons of complimentary treats included such as chai, champagne, rice pudding. Although not the best quality tasting Indian food in the area and a bit pricey we got more than our money worth with all the complimentary treats. The cheese naan wasn't fluffy and cheesy. The tikka masala was a bit too sweet and flavor wasn't quite there. I asked for some spice and they provided green Thai chili and a red paste which helped!
