My cousin and her husband met me in Old Town for lunch a couple Saturdays ago. Initially, we wanted…read moreto grab American brunch nearby, but the wait was over an hour, so we decided to go to Indochen. It's tucked inside of the hotel lobby, a bit odd, but the food was good. STEAMED CHICKEN MOMO (6) - 13 The chicken momos sat on top of a creamy chili garlic sauce that was a bit spicy. The momos were juicy and the filling was soft and flavorful. Good appetizer to share between the three of us. BUTTER CHICKEN - 19 Creamy and rich, tasted a bit sweeter than I was used to, almost like a chicken tikka masala. Pretty standard, but got the job done. Plenty of chicken in our curry. SAAG PANEER - 19 Vibrant green with the perfect loose, creamy texture that wasn't too chunky. Good amount of paneer in our portion. The spinach actually tasted like spinach, which I find rare at other restaurants that also serve saag/palak paneer. Definitely one of the better ones I've had! GARLIC NAAN - 4 Pretty typical, but good nonetheless. It was a bit greasy than I would have liked, but went well with the curries when we wanted to switch between bites of the basmati rice. Portions were pretty big and generous. Everything we ordered hit and all above average. The three of us were quite full after sharing an app + naan + two entrees. Stop by if you're in the area!

The dining area was pleasant and clean, which I always appreciate. I ended up ordering one of my usual dishes I get whenever I dine at an Indian restaurant: Lamb Biryani. I wish I would have remembered to take a picture of my meal. This was hands down the most flavorful biryani that I've ever had and I've had a lot of biryanis in my lifetime. The lamb could have been just little bit more tender but that's the only thing that brang down the score from a 10 out of 10 to a 9.5 out of 10. I definitely will be back to try their other menu item and I suggest you do the same if you're ever in Old Town Alexandria.

My wife and I were checking out Old Town Alexandria and walked passed this restaurant which caught…read moremy wife's eye. We returned to eat an early dinner here and chose to sit inside given the pollen and passing people near the outside seating. We were seated upstairs near the one window before other patrons joined us. Service was great throughout with being promptly greeted by the hostess, shown to a table, and checked on periodically. My wife and I both enjoyed the Tikka Masala where the big decision appears to be how spicy do you want it on a scale of 1-30. I had a 4 and thought I could have toned it down a notch but I prefer mild over spicy. We both enjoyed our dinner which we also enjoyed with a lovely cucumber salad that was so tasty and refreshing as my wife put it. A wonderful dinner and we will likely return if in the area.

I usually…read moreorder to-go after my workouts, and they have a convenient place near the entrance where you can order and pay for your food. I go once a week or once every other week, and every time the food is consistently excellent. The portions are big, and one meal usually lasts 2-3 meals for me. Everything I have tried is really tasty, and have never had a bad dish. The one big standout is their dessert (if you have room for it) - I've tried their rice pudding and carrot pudding. I am not a huge sweets person, but I LOVE these dishes. I've actually started to mix the carrot pudding in with plain oatmeal and it is delicious. And the staff are very nice and very conscious of how long patrons are waiting for their food. I've also never had an issue with having incorrect or missing food. The excellent customer service and delicious food make this place a winner - thank you Spicelife!
