Tatva Indian Cuisine

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...

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.

I dined at this restaurant once when they had just opened and was not impressed with the service or cleanliness of the place. Despite this, I gave them another chance during the pandemic and ordered delivery a few times, always opting for the jackfruit biryani which I enjoyed. However, my recent experience picking up my order was a disappointment. The restaurant appeared dirty and disorganized, making me question the quality of the food. The boneless chicken biryani was particularly unappetizing, with jasmine rice and over-spiced curry chicken. I will not be ordering from here again.

I had a terrible dining experience at this restaurant. All the dosas were greasy and thick, with the same filling of red chili powder. They also did not serve coconut chutney. The uttapam took a long time to be prepared, and when it finally arrived, it was only half cooked and cold. Even though there were only two other tables occupied on a Saturday night, the food was still subpar. It takes a special skill to make South Indian cuisine taste this bad. This was probably the worst South Indian food I have ever had in this area.

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.
