WOW!!!! Do yourself a favor and eat here now! The host welcomed us in and encouraged us to dry the Dolsa, which is an Indian pancake/crepe. We trusted his advice and also got the Chicken Tikka Masala. When they brought out the Dolsa, it was massive and came with three sauces and a curried potato. The flavors were magnificent and truly blew our minds. Definitely enough for 2+ people to share. We also shared one Tikka Masala with rice and we had plenty of food. The Masala was the best we have EVER had!!! We truly felt like we were at the best restaurant in India. We decided we are going to come back to the area specifically for this restaurant. And get this – each dish was around $10-11!! We are used to $25+ for an Indian dinner each. Again, WOW!!! EAT HERE!!

I can’t say enough about this place. Definitely some of the best I’ve had in years. The service was great and ownership was extremely kind. I’m utterly shocked that this restaurant doesn’t have more raving reviews. I will absolutely be back every time I’m in town.

By far the worse Indian restaurant to have been in decades. I have lived in DC metro since 1972 and went to this place tonight with a friend who has visited the restaurant before and recommended it. The decor is mediocre at best but the goat curry was the worse piece of meats I have ever had in my life! See my photo of the leftover fast and skin. Hardly any meat for $16. I am South Asian decent who cooks many desi dishes all the time including goat curry. This was just plain bad. The waiter gave us water bottles without asking and charged which I asked him to reverse. Why not provide tap pitcher ice water we are not in Europe or India. The plain naan I ordered never came out until I had to ask after dish served. The main dish came with our appetizer when we asked them after appetizer. The waiter was very very inexperienced and zero clue on American dining. None of the dishes came with serving spoons and plate was not given during appetizer. This is a minor league amateur village restaurant at best. I’ve had better meals at refukar kebab place. Never again, patrons in DC area have so many options especially in northern Virginia.

Kalpasi appears to be good only for the Veg/non veg entree, as for multiple occurrences never had issue . But the recent take out experience from the restaurant had been terrible.

I have been trying Kalpasi since 2016 in Herndon Area, food never disappointed us. Our favorites Mutton Biryani, Naan, Chicken lollipops! Chettinad style dishes are tasty! When we visited around 12:15pm there is no crowd on weekend. Restaurant is clean and they are taking a good safety precautions during pandemic

This place makes the best Indian food in northern VA and, possibly, the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I drive out of my way to come here, choosing this place over any Indian food in Fairfax.

Good place for a family dinner. Chicken 555 was delicious. Biriyani was average with an unusual taste. Nan was superb. Chicken soup was average. Will have to try something different next time. Be patient as there seemed to be only one person to take Dine-in orders. No great dessert options available.
