[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole thing about these recommendations is that there is a difference between what Indians consider to be good food versus Americans. Unfortunately, some of these recommendations are geared to Western taste.

Also, some of the places with really good Indian food have limited decor and overall ambiance. This is probably true for most ethnic restaurants.

So if you are an American - and you are looking for good food - you may have to go to the less known places some of which are really hole in the wall type setups but you can count on some great food.[/quote]

Ok, so tell us where to go![/quote]

Amma's for vegetarian food in Vienna

Charcoal Kebab in Herndon for some of the freshest and tastiest kebabs ...... this is Afghani more than Indian

Minerva Express in Arlington

Masala Express in Arlington

Woodlands in Langley Park

Passage to India in Bethesda

Kadhai in Bethesda has a great buffet

BTW, we went to Charcoal Kebab today for lunch. As good as ever though not classic Indian food. No buffet and it is served on styrofoam plates.

One more to the list:

There is an Aditi in Herndon where we buy our groceries and there is a eatery that is part of the store. Have not eaten there - I think it is vegetarian but not sure. If it is like anything like the Aditi in Kingstowne that others have recommended it is probably good and authentic. I think I noticed a sign indicating they have a lunch for under $6 served until 3pm every day. It is not a buffet. Almost all the customers are Indians. Again, there is zero ambiance - you go there for a good meal.[/quote]

[b]That is the Herndon Ammas, same name, menu and owners as the Vienna one, I believe[/b]. 
Great for take out if you cannot tolerate the ambiance.[/quote]

Thanks for the clarification.[/quote]
