Bindaas - Washington DC

Given the steep prices and subpar food compared to local Indian options in DC and Northern Virginia, I can't help but wonder why they don’t invest in a cleaner for the restrooms. The floors were littered with food, and I had to ask them to clean it up. The avocado golgappas were overwhelmingly spicy, masking any taste of avocados, while the dahi batata puri lacked flavor entirely. The pav bhaji tasted like hastily thrown-together uncooked spices. I thought I might be too harsh when I described the masala chai as watery, but it became clear that the entire experience was more about marketing than quality. Even my 7-year-old, an expert taster of mango lassi since he had his first at just 6 months old, said it wasn't even worth bringing home. I’ll add appetizing photos to show how appealing the presentation is, but it definitely exemplifies the saying about being deceived by appearances. I recommend you avoid this place.

This place is hip and happening. With a modern touch on Indian cuisine, this place has some delicious items I'm highly recommending. The starters are awesome and the chicken tikka masala with Saffron rice is really yummy. The service is great and the place is truly affordable. Highly recommend this place for a fun meal with a great ambiance. Check it out!

Sat at the bar and had an amazing meal. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was flavorful and satisfying. It was a cold night and the chai was great! Highly recommended Indian food!

Definitely a place to visit and experience the food, ambience and warm service they provide. Yes, another indian street food place but different fusion style of presentation yet the authentic taste doesnt go anywhere. Great place to hangout with friends and family. Always a pleasure to visit bindaas . Keep up the good work! Best Wishes!

Great food, excellent ambience. I first visited this place in 2018 and now again in March 2022. Now they have outdoor seating as well. Food is of top quality like last time. Staff is very professional and courteous. We ordered salmon tikka and chicken tikka masala. Both were served with rice and portion size was right. Apart from that their naan is also soft and fresh. Do try when in Washington DC.
