My family and I were in downtown Bethesda and stumbled upon this place and decided to go for dinner. We had an absolutely lovely experience. We went around 6ish on a Friday and were immediately seated. The service was above and beyond our server was so attentive and kind. We loved all of the dishes that we got! We tried the garlic naan (of course), korma chicken, chicken tikka masala, the appetizer sampler (which I highly recommend it has beef kabob, samosas, and chicken and all were perfect samplers), and goat curry of some kind. I also tried the mango lassi and I loved it. Would definitely return for solid Indian food in the downtown Bethesda area!
We absolutely love Kadhai! They offer a great selection of Indian cuisine that is done very well. The mulligatawny soup is rich and delicious, the samosas are filled with perfectly seasoned and cooked potatoes, and the palak chaat is good but not quite at the level of Rasika. The chicken korma and butter chicken are consistently well-prepared with tender chicken breast chunks. The aloo gobi and saag paneer are great complements to the entrees, which are served with basmati rice. Don't forget to try their breads and mango chutney, and make sure to ask for tamarind and cilantro sauce! The service is friendly and efficient.
Few friends and I had lunch today. The sitting outside is not as nice as inside. No proper table settings, felt like a picnic. I also like to suggest that Kadhai not to reuse their takeout menus for hygiene reason, because take out menus can not be disinfected. I loved the eggplant ???? curry and the goat kadhai?? but I did not realize the shrimp and chicken curries tasted actually the same? overall a nice ???? place for northern Indian food.
I have been dining at this Indian restaurant for many years, even before it underwent a name change. The food quality has consistently been excellent, and I have never been disappointed with anything on the menu. The staff is also efficient in preparing orders and is friendly, whether you are dining in or taking out.

Usually when go to a new Indian place, I get a dish and then ask myself? is this significantly better than the same dish frozen from Trader Joe?s ? the answer was no? it could have been frozen? but the rice and naan were legit good? super chewy naan can really make you feel good .. so 4 stars instead of 3
Amazing. Great atmosphere. Great service. The items are meant to be shared. We had the naan (garlic) and the mango and plain Lassi drinks which are yogurt based. We also had enough food to take home and last two more meals. Will definitely be back!
The Food is Rich and Dense. The food differentiates itself from the Indian food served in other Indian restaurants. The bread is fluffy and the dishes are plenty and rich. I haven?t had Gobi Manchurian like this anywhere in the neighborhood.
The goanese fish curry was a little rich, but still very tasty. The lamb sheekh kabab was quite good, but could have done with some more marination. But all, told, it was a nice dinner. The service was prompt and very helpful.

The food at this restaurant is excellent! The service was incredible, our server was very efficient and kind. We will definitely be returning. The atmosphere was perfect!
Never mind! The flavor is back. Think it was just a one off day... I fully recommend kadhai and all their dishes-from mataar paneer to lamb korma, everything is on point!
