North Indian: Bansari

South Indian: Saravana Palace or Bengaluru Cafe (hole in the wall but really good food) - both vegetarian only.

Thanks. We tried this one and enjoyed our meal a lot.

But it’s in a basement in an old strip mall. It doesn’t have a ton of ambience. But that’s part of its character. I’m a huge fan.


The location is not great, but cloth table covers, cloth napkins, matching silverware, and dedicated wait staff for the various tasks.

How about Afghan food? Afghan Bistro in Springfield is amazing. It's in a strip mall/industrial area, but the inside is small and cozy - nicely decorated.

I love that place. We have a friend who spent years at our embassy in New Dehli who swears by it

If you want a little fancier Indian, Kismet in Alexandria. Most of the restaurants mentioned here are standard fare/ambience. I don't think there is a real 'special occasion' Indian restaurant in NoVA.

Any recommendations for a good Indian restaurant for a special occasion? Northern Virginia location preferred.
