Always delicious food and friendly service. Treat yourself! My favorite is the chicken saag. I tried the shrimp jalfrezi recently. Also, great!

This is my first time eating Indian food. I might say it was really delicious. The service was great, since I did said it was my first time and the staff loved it. They said "don't worry we love first timers". They walked me through the menu. I like the fact they were honest since I really wanted to have a starter and a main dish, but was advised it was a lot of food. Just in case I was not aware of it. I got there early and it was empty. Subsequently, it got full. The ambiance is quiet, friendly and intimate. The lamb was tender and the dessert was really good.

I thought the food here was good. The samosas were crispy and tasty. I also liked the butter chicken. The Rogan Josh dish had lamb in it and I liked the flavor of the sauce. The service was good too.

We love love love Kadhai! It offers the usual Indian cuisine selections but they do it very well. The mullitagawny is rich and delicious, samosas are filled with perfectly seasoned and cooked potatoes and the palak chaat is good although not quite at Rasika level.Chicken korma and butter chicken are always prepared well, with tender chunks of chicken breast. Aloo gobi and saag paneer are good complements to the entrees which are served with basmati rice. Don't forget to order their breads and mango chutney and ask for tamarind and cilantro sauce! Service is friendly and prompt!

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!

Had dinner there last evening for a friend's birthday. We each ordered a different entree so we all were able to taste all the choices. The food was so tasty and the size of the portions was huge. We all had enough left to take home. I will have at least 2 more meals. Definitely a place I will return to.

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!

Pretty good, classic North Indian restaurant menu. This is all about comforting familiar classics no fusion or trendy things here, and there's nothing wrong with that! We were in the mood for something traditional so it worked perfectly for us. A heads up that they have a bar but no cocktail menu. Palak chaat was pretty good. they get the mix of flavors down right and the palak is crispy. This appetizer is light which is nice considering how heavy North Indian food can be. For me, Veg korma is a classic "if you can't do this right what are you doing" dish I pick when I first try an Indian restaurant. Love that it's truly full of veggies. And they aren't cooked to death. Sauce is creamy but you do get the tang that tells you it is yogurt based. They passed, but barely. The sauce definitely needs more flavor (not just heat -- more flavorful spices). My husband really loved the sauce in his hariyali chicken. You get Plenty of chicken but it may be a bit mild if you are used to Indian food like we are. That's easily remedied, though. The other spices are just right. Garlic naan was not great, more crunchy than soft and some garlic was burnt so that was disappointing. Service was fast (maybe a bit too fast?) but no complaints in that department. If you want the traditional North Indian restaurant spread this is a pretty good option in the area.

I got a delivery order for Thanksgiving and the food was really very good. It really saved my bacon too. I suffered a demobilizing injury recently, so cooking really wasn't an option this year, all of the grocery stores only sold thanksgiving meals in quantities that were far too large for 1 person, and I spent 2 hours calling different restaurants in the area--they were all closed. I honestly would've starved that evening were not for Kadhai being open. So I'm very grateful for that.I ordered the following:The assorted appetizers and bhel puri to start, along with the house salad, paneer kulcha, and garlic naanto drink, and I had the mango lassifor the main course, I had the goat biryaniand finally for dessert, I had the gajar halwaFor the most part it was all pretty good.What really stood out as absolutely amazing to me were 2 items, the bhel puri and the samosas and pakora (part of the appetizer). They really were outstanding, especially after i added a little raita to the puriThe biryani was nice. it was the first time I'd eaten goat, and it was just SO tender and flavorful!! I loved it!! Although, the menu said it was on the bone, but actually, it was on the many many small bones. Between those and the all the cucumber seeds in the salad, it was a little frustrating picking out the little things.Overall though I'm really happy with what I'd ordered.

Four of us came for dinner a week ago. Service was good and obviously a popular place for takeout. We ordered 4 entrees (portions are generous so we didn't try any of the appetizers).We had lamb vindaloo, chicken vindaloo, Rogan Josh, and Tandoori Chicken. The vindaloos got high marks for both chicken & lamb. The Rogan Josh was also tasty. Tandoori chicken was very dry and flavorless.Lots of other options for Indian food
