Overall I was not satisfied with my experience and will not return. The pictures of the full table show everything that was ordered. All together $80 for two. Butter chicken, extra rice, samosa, 2 naan and the chicken dish. The breads were $5+ each and the rice came out to like $10. None of the menu prices were accurate.

My husband and I want to like this place because we love Indian food, it’s near our home, and it has been around for a long time. However, it is an awkward experience every time we go.

Most of the time when I eat out I go to Indian/ Pakistani restaurants. This particular establishment is charging premium but serves like a food truck. They don’t itemize the bill so, they will overcharge for example, a dish might be $20 on their menu but when the bill comes it will magically become $23. I am not sure what is going on with their AC system but in the summer it is really hot in there. I know they have to make a living but their customers deserve better. If they want to charge premium value they should upgrade their menu, you can’t sell a $15 meal for $28. Please honor your menu pricing and don’t overcharge, itemize your bill. No wonder they have very few customers on the weekends or evenings because if you go here once you will not return in the future

I ordered a dish that is vegetarian at every other restaurant I’ve ever ordered from, off of the veggie section of their menu, and and confirmed it didn’t list meat as an ingredient.

Never had a bad experience with the Aatish fam (tho I only ordered takeout). Food was consistently delicious and arrived HOT. Garlic naan was good, mango lassi was great, chicken tikka and lamb vindaloo were my go-to solid dishes. Vegetable pakora slapped. Always left satisfied. Best part is that food always showed up fast. If you live in the area you’ll see the Aatish cars whipping around speedily. I like that they have their own delivery service.

Horrible food ever, please do yourself a favor and do not order from here. I ordered Samosa, Goat Karahi & Chana masala. The Samosa had a weird smell as rotten food, Goat Karahi was practically meat immersed in oil with no other taste. I felt I ordered oil instead of food. We just had a few bites and had to throw everything. The oil in the picture is collected from only one item ( Goat Karahi)

Please believe the reviews for this place. This was the worst Indian food and Chicken Korma I’ve ever got. I decided to ignore the reviews and give it a chance, but I’m not even able to describe how bad the food was. There was a sour taste and smell and I had to throw everything out after a few bites. Not worth the money or even a try.

Kashan Khan
Food tasted fresh and authentic. My favorite is the Rogan Josh however their butter chicken and lamb biryani are amazing and the best in DC. Don’t let past reviews fool you as they recently underwent changes and have drastically increased their quality and service. I highly recommend Aatish on the Hill.
