Food was fantastic but service was terrible. We understand that restaurants are still suffering from lack of staff but there were only 2 people taking orders, busing, serving, etc and one was the manager. Numerous pick up food orders and it was obvious that they went ahead of the dining customers. They were out of several items on the menu, forgot our drink orders, needed to ask for many things. It really was too bad. Once our food finally arrived it was great!!!

I stopped in for dinner after passing by earlier in the day and chatting with the owner. I should have left when it took almost fifteen minutes to have my order taken. There weren't many people dining, but the staff seemed to be busy with other tasks. I had the lambchops, which I did like. But other than getting my water glass refilled once, I was left alone. After I was done, I tried to flag down someone to pay my bill, but the few times someone came by, they didn't see nor hear me. In the end, I walked up to the bar and asked to pay. I was told by the owner to wait while he took a phone order, and then he walked off, forgetting that I was standing right there to pay. The food was fine, but I was frustrated by the slow service. Maybe it would be better to just order take out from there.

The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious we both left with full stomachs. It was pretty empty (Monday evening), so no issues at all with slow service.

Tasty, good food for lunch - delivered to the table in no time. Lassi was great too. Server was friendly. What’s not like? Price appropriate.

Liked the food and the atmosphere. Lots of choices, reasonably priced. On a cold day soup really hit the spot. Entrees and bread delicious too.

The people here make all the difference and they really care about the quality and taste of the food. Rarely have we had a dish here that we did not thoroughly enjoyed! A minor condiment can sometimes tell me more then a main course. The mixed pickles are perfect. If they pay attention to that detail...we have moved out of the area but every time we visit we make a beeline to The Rajaji. I really enjoy their Benghen Barta and the lamb dishes (I can no longer eat chicken given medical concerns). If I were to eat chicken there, the chicken tikka and related dishes are wonderful. For many years our company had our annual dinner there. Everyone always enjoyed it. They are very honest about the billing for large dinners as well as small ones. I will say I much prefer this restaurant at dinner and ordering off the menu. Their lunch buffet is standard but the whole atmosphere (and staff) is different at lunch. However it is one of our all time favorites. Highly recommended!

This is better than the 3.5 average reviews given. The portions are large so you can easily share if you are a European. Very friendly service. The only down side it’s a bit noisy from car traffic if you sit out side

We were a little cautious coming to this restaurant as it was not on the list of recommendations given to us by our hotel. We needn’t have worried, the food was delicious. We started with the mixed starter platter; the bhajis were ok but the chicken tikka and samosas were lovely. We then had salmon curry it was absolutely delicious, we were very full but couldn’t leave any as it tasted so good. The salmon was cooked just right and not overpowered by the sauce. We also had a garlic naan. I shared these dishes with my husband and that was more than enough for 2 people. The bill also gave us 15% off our next visit. Unfortunately we will not be able to use this, as we are only passing through. I thoroughly recommend this place.

Needed a place to eat lunch close to Woodley Park metro and wandered into this place. Was not busy after 1p on a weekday. Buffet had lots of vegetarian and vegan options which I appreciated. Naan was nicely done though on the cooler side. Dal and Chana Masala were nicely spiced and seasoned. Chicken dish was a little tough. Raita was good.

I had the Methi Chooza and would have licked the bowl if not for my manners. Tikka Masala appetizer is a winner. Will definitely return!

I went to this place craving some spicy Indian rice, I got there and I was given a seat on the inside, it had a very weird smell kind of like an old place that hasn't been cleaned in ages, although it did look clean. I sat down for like a minute but requested an outside table because the smell was just too much. Outside one of the waiters came to ask if I was ready to order, he kind of sounded impatient, 'like there's chicken, beef, lamb choose that and then choose your vegetables, EASY! So I decided to leave instead.

Food was ok. Service was somewhere between unfriendly and indifferent. What got me was the 20% "automatic gratuity" charged even for parties of 1. Luckily, I checked the bill closely and noticed it, because once charged, they then offer you a second opportunity to leave a tip of 15, 20, or 25% on the receipt (on top of what was already included). You could end up inadvertently paying a 40% tip for service that arguably falls short of even 20%. Maybe this guaranteed 40% tip is what makes the service so bad. In any case, I left feeling scammed. After asking the staff about it, I'm fairly certain their approach is intentional. I'll get my next meal at a more ethical establishment.
