Tatva Indian Cuisine - Herndon

I absolutely adore this Indian restaurant. I have eaten in their dining area and also ordered food online, and everything I tried was incredibly delicious. Before COVID, they used to offer buffets and lunch thalis, which I missed. However, today I ordered the pepper chicken fry and it exceeded my expectations - it was so flavorful and enjoyable. I highly recommend trying their biryani as well. This restaurant is a must-visit in the Herndon, Dulles area.

This Indian restaurant has quickly become my favorite in the area. While I still enjoy some dishes at other places (particularly the veggie pakora and naan), the overall quality at this place surpasses the competition. The chicken entrees I've tried have been exceptional, and the chicken appetizer with onions and peppers was particularly impressive. I can't speak to the service or atmosphere, as most of my visits have been for take-out, but the staff appears friendly and the space is well-maintained. I would give this restaurant 5 stars for its perfectly cooked dishes and delicious Thali options.

The food at this restaurant was incredible, some of the best Indian cuisine I have had in years. The place settings and dishes were disposable as a result of COVID-19 measures, but the excellent service and high quality of the meal more than compensated for it. The portion sizes were generous. I would definitely consider driving an hour just to dine here again. Highly recommended.

A complete waste of money!! I have never experienced such a waste of expensive food in a prime location. The Chicken 65 was overcooked, the fish curry was smelly and lacking salt in the masala, the chicken dish was old and undercooked, and the masalas were not properly prepared. The Thali meals did not include papad or curd, and the rice was old. The Biriyani was clearly reheated. I am unsure how this restaurant can serve such old food for a Saturday lunch. The light yellow lassi had too much milk and not enough mango, making it a waste as well. Despite all these issues, the restaurant was charging 15% more than what was listed on the menu. We left the restaurant shortly after receiving our food, as it was inedible. This is the first time I have ever been so disappointed in a restaurant.

I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant at all costs. It is extremely dirty and unhygienic. I have never left a restaurant in disgust before, but I couldn't stay in this one.
