"A loyal customer of Taj of India for a decade now, this is the only Indian restaurant I'll order from and my go-to when I need a pick me up, when I want to celebrate something, or when I just want to treat myself. The Lamb Roganjosh is so warm and flavorful, and it literally melts in your mouth. Even the rice it comes with is fragrant and tasty on its own. The butter chicken and the tikka masala are also part of my regular rotation. The Garlic Naan is perfect by itself or dragged through sauce, and the cheese naan is just as good. I also love getting a side order of the Daal Soup and adding the Rice Kheer my cart right before I check out because I can never resist it --- perfectly creamy for dessert but not too sweet, which is exactly what I like. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!"
"It was really good and the shrimp were high quality and perfectly cooked but for $24 it would have been nice to get more than 5 shrimp in the Shrimp Tikka Masala (N)"

"Veggies- 16oz were tasty and cooked perfectly. Chettinad Curry's had a great flavor and heat level. It all paire well with the Butter Naan. I order from here regularly and will do so again. Really good value for the money. I wish they had raita and more veggie options."
"The Fish Kolivada was a flavorful, spiced but not hot, white fish. you can taste the coriander (so good). There were two green sauces. No idea what they were, but they were complimentary. one was thin and sweet and one was like applesauce but taste like apple and tamarind. whatever it was, it was good. The Peshwari Naan was nice. slightly sweet like lightly brown sugared with raisins. The Cheese Naan taste like fresh garlic and cheese. it was ok. TheOnion Kulcha was good, too. If I hadn't had the other two breads, the Cheese Naan would've taste better. The others outshine it. The Mango Lassi came in and adorable milk bottle. Delicious! I'd want this and Peshwari Naan for breakfast and I don't usually like lots of sweets!"

"Best Indian food ive found in dc! Ordered the half size of butter chicken and it was more than enough for one person. Palak and Samosa Chaats were both amazing. This will definitely be my new go to place. "
"the Butter Chicken is EXACTLY how it should be, and the Palak Paneer was almost perfect as well. My only complaint is that there's not *quite* enough rice for the serving, but honestly that's just because the curry serving is so generous. I am definitely reordering from here again."

"This consistently is the BEST chicken tikka masala - and garlic naan - in DC!"
"Spinach Chat was as amazing as other reviews suggested - tamrind goodness, what a special dish. Garlic Naan wasnt as soft/pillowy as I've grown to expect, but good vehicle for other flavors. Jhol (Soup) Mo:Mo [No Gluten-Free] was pretty good, I ended up liking the dough and the filling separately - clearly well crafted though, and I just eat weird. Side sauce did not have much flavor and soup base was not addicting as I like soups to be. Definitely fresh and I would make someone go in just to share the Spinach Chat with me, so they could experience it!"

"DELICIOUS and beautiful! The Chicken 65 was a great amount of food and so was the the Butter Chicken Wings. I got medium spicy for both and it was the perfect "my mouth is tingly but I'm not dying and it's flavorful" level of spice I wanted. "
"Loved the dosa and chutney. Sambar was very less but otherwise everything was great. Felt satisfied with such a flavourful dosa. Have tried dosa at many other places but I was left disappointed by every other place. But from Sundara Everything felt fresh. Would definitely order dosa from here again.

"The food from Tikka stood out in taste the same way as I last dined there. They achieve a balance of flavors that's unparalleled. When I unwrapped the packaging of the Onion Kulcha I was hit with a burst of aroma! with every bite, I experienced the crunch of the onions and chewiness of the bread. The Amchur Bhindi Masala maintained the crunch of the Okra while the sauce coated the pieces. I was truly blown away by The dum Biryani With Raita for it's texture and incorporation of Jackfruit which did not make me miss any chicken! The raita had rock salt which just reminded me of home! Will certainly order from here again!"
"Ordered the spicy wings not bad but $12 for four chicken wings is crazy. Butter masala chicken was terrible, inedibly sweet like bizarrely sweet it was gross. Also extremely small for the $26 like 8 little cubes of chicken. "

"There are so many Indian restaurants in DC and I have not found my go to place until now. This place just opened up recently and thank goodness because everything I've had from here so far is amazing. I am extremely picky about my Indian flavors and oh my God the dishes I've had from here just exudes multidimensional flavors that I expect from Indian or Nepalese cuisine. The lamb Rogan Josh was creamier than I'm used to, but had amazing flavor. The lamb madras was good, but just mild in flavor. The Lamb Curry is great. Exactly what you expect from a lamb curry with amazing flavors. I will eventually order most of the dishes here and hopefully they will be just as good. "

"there is so much meat in the lamb Biriyani. I ordered the medium but it still has a kick to it. it came with a lot of raita which had a good cucumber taste. it's very seasoned and flavorful. the Chicken 65 is also very flavorful and it has plenty of sauce so it's not dry. I also like that the chicken is crispy."
"The curries were bland yet overly sweet. The main flavor was cream with just a hint of spices. Very mild flavor. Not my favorite. The portion sizes were decent for the price, and the naan was pretty good as well, but overall I was disappointed."

"Super amazing!! We have tried so many indian places in the area and this is top tier with Indigo. This place reminds me of my childhood in texas eating at indian buffets with my family. The portions are amazing and so worth the price compared to other indian joints. We got the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala along with Naan and mango lassi's for our first time trying and it has immediately become our go-to. "

"Best Indian food with fair price. Good quantity and fast delivery. Loved butter chicken and garlic naan .
"
"The food was basic and not very flavorful. You've had better. Try somewhere else if you're looking for authentic Indian flavors. I got the Shrimp Curry & Rice the shrimp are small and I paid extra for extra shrimp and I only had 8 in total. This is a skip for me, you can get better elsewhere. The Garlic Naan was okay but again very little garlic. "

"the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza is honestly a must-have. It is SO good. The crust is not too thick or too thin and it's just so delicious. It keeps in the fridge for your next day snack too. Their Garlic Naan always stays soft even after a night in the fridge!"
"The mango lassi was amazing with fresh cardamom. The veggie samosas were delicious, as were the sauces. The butter chicken is great, the sauce is perfect, but medium spice was more mild. The garlic naan was some of the worst naan I've ever had. I feel like they might use the pizza dough to make the naan, as it was thick. The pizza slice came to us seeming not fresh. Overall, I would def order from here again, it's the best butter chicken in DC in my opinion. Love the mango lassi. Rice was good too."

"this restaurant has, quite frankly, the best Butter Chicken I've ever had. the Palak Paneer is good as well, but the butter chicken is beyond good. they give you a really solid amount of food for the price as well: spending ~$45 has gotten me easily 3-4 days of food for myself, which is well worth the price imo"
"Ordered here for the first time bc our usual go-to Indian place has been inconsistent lately. The Butter Chicken was on the sweet side, but my family still enjoyed it. The chicken wasn't as tender as some other places though. The Lamb Rogan Josh was mild in flavor but very tender. The Tandoori Chicken was a huge serving but was again not the juiciest tandori I've had. The Palak Paneer was good. Large portion. Lots of cheese. Good flavor. The Chicken Cheese Naan was delicious. First time we've ever had that. The nans were good too. Nice and fluffy. The MoMo Chicken dumplings were delicious but fiery! We weren't expecting that since the description didn't mention anything about it being spicy. The Mango Lassi was yummy, but the color is very bright orange and off putting. Looks like way too much food coloring. Overall, we'd order from here again."

"Absolutely delicious packed to perfection for delivery!! We ordered Garlic Naan Butter Chicken Daal Makhni and basmati rice came with it!!"
"The food is flavorful with the right amount of spice—especially for me. When mixed with the rice, it balances out just right. I’m from Texas, and I will say it is seasoned and spicy to my liking as well.
The food doesn’t seem like a lot at first, but it is definitely filling.
I actually bought this once before maybe a week ago but forgot to upload the picture, so I’ll upload it with this one. The older one is the picture with the cut-up naan, and today’s meal is the picture with the whole naan. Although it’s cut up in the older photo, I do believe the naan added up to a whole piece.
The naan is very garlicky (aromatic)and flavorful—definitely homemade, which makes it worth the price!"

"My order was missing a side and naan. This place used to be so solid but the quality has really gone down hill. Saag paneer was watery and had one tiny piece of paneer. Chicken was bland and felt like it had been sitting for a while. Mango lassi was fine but likely won't be ordering from here again."

"This was the best Indian food I have ever had, I truly do not say that lightly!!! I called to request something so they were super helpful. I was so nervous because I've never tried this place but the taste of the food blew me it way! The spice was actually spicy, biryani was packed to the brim, and samosa was nice and crunchy. Can't wait to order again!"
"Leaned towards warm spices. Very flavorful. Gobi Lasooni Ⓥ was a standout. Sweet, sticky, jammy onion flavor packed goodness. Palak Chaat was solid.

"They always give generous portions, and very fresh delicous biryani. This is the only place I get biryani around here because it tastes the most authentic and flavorful. They also gave me a complimentary rice pudding which was very nice of them. Wonderful as always."
