"My favourite Indian in the area. This time, I said for the price difference, may as well come for dinner. As I have said, I drive forty minutes each way because I have loved it so much. But after finding and loving this place for over four years, itends tonight. The food is always very good. I consider it the best Indian in the DMV area. But first lunch went up in price,and tonight I decided to treat myself to dinner, as for the price difference it seemed best to enjoy the larger dinner portionsfor a little more money. The waitress was pushy and kept trying to rush our dinner and asking no sooner than the samosasarrived if we were ready to order the main dish. I told her we would order after we finished appetizers and we were out to enjoyour company, not go to a McDonalds and order, eat, and run. Then the food came. Portions have shrunk. Lamb Vindaloo had at mostsix LITTLE pieces of lamb and ONE small little round piece of potato for a DINNER PORTION??? WHAT??? The rice seemed a verysmall portion too. Barely halfway way up the serving dish. Half way through our meal a lovely and sweet Indian couple came in.The ordered alcohol which we did not as we don't drink alcohol. We exchanged pleasantries with them as they seemed veryadorable. When their meal came out they were two just like us, but no meat entree as they might be vegetarian like mycompanion tonight I saw they ordered a Briyani, and another bowl with Basmati rice. However I couldn't help but notice howtheir rice was heaping and a very generous portion. Twice what we got for two. Having order Dal Makhani and Lamb Vindaloo. Ihave drive for forty minutes each way as it was always a place I felt treated like a king. Fair prices and a lot of food. Buttonight the love affair is over. I could always count on ordering an entree at dinner and having enough to take home for thenext day. Even when sharing!!! Tonight's Lamb Vindaloo, was delicious yes, but very meager portion. Thank God m"

"AVERAGE START BUT BANG AT THE END! STAFF: Courteous with one very small detail. Waitress tried to hide the obvious fact that the onion fries were burnt. The correct protocol should had been, I'll change them for you. Not say I don't think they are overcooked. Busboy was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. FOOD: The fried appetizers needed a bit of quality control. One of the baked thin-hard breads was so salty we had to leave it for fear of high blood pressure. See onion fries above The cheese fritters where dry, very dry. It can be there unique type of cheese? That was a first for me. In other Indian restaurants this plate is one where the cheese is moist but holds the texture and flavors added balanced with natural cheese flavors. This particular dish was below par. It seemed or overcooked or reheated which is why the cheese was dry. Vegetable Samosas also dry, we cut one in half and that's all she wrote. It was put in a doggie bag. NOW THE OSCAR GOES TO!: Chicken Thali and Shrimp Biryani! Everything, the chicken and sides made sense. PLUS, boy, those sides were more than amazing. The Shrimp could have been cooked a tad less because it was almost getting to the chewy point but it didn't. The Shrimp was delicious and the rice made the perfect partner. BATHROOMS: Clean and very decent. PARKING: Tons of free parking PRICES: Extremely fair. SUMMARY: If it wasn't for those little details this restaurant would have definitely been awarded star of the decade. But, all in all this is a must go to place for great food, semi romantic moment or for a business meeting. RETURN FACTOR: 100% RECOMMEND A FRIEND FACTOR: 100"
