Cafe Lotus - Fairfax

I do not suggest dining at this restaurant. I requested the waiter's recommendation for their top lamb dish and decided to order the Lamb Saag, which seemed promising on the menu. However, at $21, I was disappointed to find that the dish only contained three small pieces of lamb in a curry sauce thickened with flour or corn starch. The portion size was incredibly small considering the price. There were only two other couples in the restaurant on Saturday night, which could be a hint as to why. While I typically like to support small businesses, I cannot overlook the lack of authenticity and quality in the food at this establishment.

The drastic increase in prices across all main dishes has left my taste buds for this once affordable restaurant. You have made Sol Food affordable for me any likely manner others who should take a closer look at their receipts. $21 plus tax for a plate that is 3/4 sauce and maybe 1/4 of minced protein. Good luck!

Best Chicken Tikka Masala I have ever had. Friendly and attentive service. Will return!

Very good. Nuanced flavors. Worth a trip. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Small, not fancy, delicious food and kind, attentive staff. Mostly we get take-out. We love the butter chicken, saag paneer, pakoras which to grandkids like better than chicken nuggets. And the mango lassi of course. Many other yummy dishes, too. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner
