Chutneys Vegetarian, Herndon

I was driving in unfamiliar territory today, and decided I’d go random ethnic. It’s too bad I did, because there’s apparently this website called donrockwell.com that has favorably reviewed a restaurant called Hyderabadi Biryani Corner which I literally walked right by, looked … Continue reading

MoMo’s Nepalese Food, Springfield

I had several things here the other evening, among them Lamb Choila ($7.99) which was one of the oddest plates of food I’ve had in awhile. It’s possible they’d forgotten this dish, and rushed to prepare it, but what I got was … Continue reading

Paradise Indian Cuisine, Gwynn Park, MD

As the situation would have it, I stayed in the Gwynn Park Days Inn last week (near Security Mall). First 7 PM, then 8 PM, then 9 PM, fast approached, then passed. I was getting hungry, and my options were … Continue reading

Mayuri, Reston, VA

I started my dinner with a Kingfisher ($6.95 for a 650 ml / 22 ounce bottle), and perused Mayuri’s fairly lengthy menu for something I was unfamiliar with. Mayuri means “(female) peacock” – the national bird of India – in Hindi, and sure enough, the front … Continue reading

Saveur India, Bethesda, MD

I was last at Saveur India a couple of years ago, and really enjoyed my meal. This time around, I only stopped in for a snack, but also found a little pot of gold. Samosas ($4.50) are good here, and … Continue reading

If someone were to ask, “What’s the biggest Indian restaurant in the DC area?” then “Bombay Club” would be a pretty good guess, but that’s only if they haven’t been to Diya. Diya sits on the Vienna side of Tysons … Continue reading
