    Lunch date with my daughter (Tues., 12/29/25). STILL nothing but praise for this restaurant. (I'm a repeat customer for good reason.) Excellent service, delicious food (their garlic naan is my fav, hands down) and such a warm, cute lil cozy place. Looking forward to hearing YOUR review/opinion.

    Samosa Chat
    Nikita J.

    This one has been on my list for a few years now and I'm glad we finally tried it. The location in downtown silver spring near the movie theater makes it a solid choice for some Indian food before going taking in a movie. Here were our hits and misses: Spicy passion fruit: definitely spicy. More spicy from the jalapeno than the sour/sweet from the passion fruit. A hit if you like drinks with a kick! Dalchini: "good" (Highest level of praise from my husband) Samosa chaat: proportions of chutneys and chickpeas all perfect just needed some onions/tomatoes diced on top for texture and it would have been perfect. Lamb korma: thick delicious gravy and they Didn't skimp on lamb. Definitely a hit with my carnivore husband. Tofu chana masala: tastes just like Chole. Can't even taste the tofu as it isn't crisped up or anything it's just in there all soft and paneer-like. I actually wasn't sure about that but I tried it and it was lovely!! A hit for me and for anybody looking for a vegetarian friendly protein forward option . Something to note: There is construction going on so be sure to factor that in when trying to find parking as there are road closures/detours. We were seated pretty quickly and it was a busy Saturday evening for them. The portions are appropriate -- not too little and not too much; you really feel satisfied and it's just awesome they have some dishes with tofu. There's lots of other stuff to try on the menu for future visits and since we are often in the area to catch a movie I have no doubt we will be back.

    Fish Curry

    A warm and inviting Indian restaurant in DTSS; waitstaff were just as warm and hospitable. The menu is vast, with mostly northern region dishes. They different vegan and vegetarian items, as well as food that contains nuts. We shared a fish pakora appetizer. It was fried tilapia strips floured and seasoned with many spices. The exterior was crispy and interior was tender and flaky. It came with a green cilantro based chutney. I had the basil infused salmon. 2 pieces of marinated salmon cooked in a tandoor oven and rolled in basil and parsley came out, accompanied by cilantro chutney, shredded red cabbage, cucumber slices and basmati rice. The fish was cooked to perfection, with basil flavor complementing the protein. My companion liked his fish curry. It was a mild bit flavorful gravy with slices of tilapia. The drinks (mango lassi and Pinot Grigio) were also very good with the meal.

    The establishment is clean and comfortable. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. We came here because we were in silver spring for the day and someone on reddit recommended it. What a great spot. All the food was phenomenal - delicious, and flavorful. We got the butter chicken, lamb korma, and chicken tikka masala. My favorite and what the waiter recommended was the lamb korma! The butter chicken is a classic you can never go wrong with. And the chicken Tikka masala has a nice tomato flavor. The samosas were very delicious! We also got the cucumber drink and the tamarind margarita. Both were absolutely delicious, but might i say they tasted like there was not much alcohol in them. i still enjoyed both drinks regardless. Refreshing and flavorful. I would recommend this spot to anyone!

    Monday, Wednesday lunch menu

    Who remembers catching up with friends, family and colleagues over Indian cuisine at lunch? Especially at a buffet? Vegan, vegetarian, can't decide, in a hurry, got hours to stuff your face? Finally found a go-to buffet spot! So why will this review not be about a buffet? They have three menus so I'm coming back on a Monday or Wednesday, when they have rice pudding. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays have a second menu. Sundays and Fridays have the third. Also, the menus clearly designate what is gluten-free. And it's most of the menu. Woohoo! Everything reviewed here is gluten-free. Chai was good and they offered to dialed back on the milk. TYSM! I was so pleased and excited to have palak chaat, which I affectionately call fried salad. This version had a lot of chopped dates and a little tamarind chutney. Delicious with no fuss. I like some yogurt and diced tomatoes and onions (AKA fuss) on mine so I hooked up the leftovers at home. Lamb was the choice that day. The grilled lamb chops were so succulent and well seasoned that I still think of the flavors. Aloo palak was fine. To me the spinach was a softer purée than usual, the potatoes leaned firm and the salt level was a tad high. Did I eat it? Yep! The lamb korma was pretty tasty. Less distinctive cashew flavor and some lamb was less tender. And other pieces were much softer. The basmati rice was delicious. I was offered more to take home. Please and thank you! I wanted to eat and drink more but I got full too fast. Won't make that mistake again when I go back for the "pick 3" buffet!!!

    Generous dinner portions - we got samosas, bread, and two entrees- decided that one entree is enough for two people, though the leftovers were great. Good service, lovely place, quiet enough for conversation. Easy walk from AFI and the Fillmore for a date night!

    Fish Curry, Butter Chicken, & Masoor Daal
    Wil C.

    Always amazing service, serene environment (especially during lunch on a non-Holiday) yet still not empty, and delicious. Each dish is stand-alone dynamic. The lunch special is an open invitation to try less known go to's. Yes let's tiptoe past butter chicken and tikki masala...or at least try two outside of your norm. Each desert is delectable as well...especially the Moong Daal Halwa.

    Falooda
    James W.

    Small restaurant that is well decorated with incredibly attentive staff who replaced our plates for every dish. The food is affordable, delicious, and well-seasoned. We ordered the Palaak Chat, Pani Puri, Lamb Curry, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka Masala, as well as the Falooda for dessert. The sauce for the Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious and while everything was well-seasoned, nothing was overly spicy, which I appreciated. Generally, I really appreciated the ambiance of the restaurant. It's a lovely place to dine when in Silver Spring.

    So, it's been a while since my family and I last went out to eat at a restaurant, and we landed on…read morethis one since it was both nearby and the prices reasonable for the fare that they offer. My wife and I had been here for lunch before and had a good experience, so this time we figured why not check it out for dinner? Turns out, it was a great idea. The wait for the food was a bit on the longer end, but to be perfectly fair, we ordered a LOT, so we certainly didn't mind. By the time the food hit the table, we forgot about it almost entirely because the smells of freshly made kitfo, lamb tibs, and this stewed chicken dish whose name I can't remember (but it came with a hardboiled egg!) hit our nose, nothing else mattered. The food was presented in a way that somehow matched the overall vibe of the restaurant, which at this time of night was set to be kinda toned down with dingy lighting and smooth music. Huge call out to my waiter that I curse myself for not getting his name, because he is, simply put, the best server I've ever had at a restaurant. Not only was he timely and discreet about topping off our waters, but also checked in about soft drinks as well, and when he heard my son saying the food was too spicy for him, he took it upon himself to get him something else to eat that wasn't spicy at all, and without myself or my wife asking. If you're looking for a great place to eat with a killer atmosphere and even better service, you've found it.

    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.
