If you like authentic "Bengal" food, this is your only option. Their biriyanis are very different than the regular Indian style ones. They make 'Kacchi Biriyanis' only on Saturdays and most of the time they are sold out. Their Tehari is also a best seller. But but,, if you want to have real quality sweets, this is the place for your Bengal sweets!! Only bad side of the restaurant is, its not a great ambiance for date or something romantic. They only are focused on the food part. Will miss this place!!

It's very very slow, I'm waiting to pick up my online order almost 20 minutes. It's says 5 minutes, another 5 minutes and another 5 minutes...Just waste my time, and lost appetite.Never ever again come back anymore.

I ordered 2 beef tehari's here the other day and the guy over the phone told me it will take 2 hours to make. I said that fine. 2 hours later, I show up to the restaurant and am given old soggy rice and barely any meat in the tehari. I really wanted to go up and say something but because it was my birthday, I didn't want to make it into a bad day by complaining. I was extremely upset over the fact that they told me to wait 2 hours for them to make fresh food but when I got there, you could tell it wasn't fresh at all and he barely gave me meat. If I could give it 0 stars, I would.

I won't let a young girl into my Yelp account, but I will let Aladdin. Especially if he agrees that this is some of the yummiest food in Northern Virginia.Aladdin is one of my favourite little unheralded restaurants in the DC area and one of the true gems of the Virginia suburbs. This wonderful owner is serving authentic Bangladeshi Cuisine with a real flair and style.So far I've only tried the signature beef dish, the Beef Tehari, but it was absolutely amazing. It was competitively priced at around the $10 and filled me up completely. A little greasy which is how I like it. Dry but not as much as some Biryani places.I would definitely come back here and can't wait to try other stuff. I recommend it to everyone.Forget A La Carte dishes. And come to A La Ddin instead.

I have two criteria for rating any restaurant. The first criteria is the authenticity of the food. The second is the cleanliness of the bathroom. The place failed miserably on both.We are visiting Washington DC for an extended weekend. After checking in our hotel, we looked for authentic Bangladeshi food and we decided to give the place a try. The place has reasonable interior. The service also meets expectations. We ordered kacchi biriyani and shrimp dopeaza per advise and head to bathroom for washing our hand. The poor condition of cleanliness of the place is very difficult to ignore. The food is alright if you do not have any idea what authentic Bangladeshi cuisine taste like. But, for us the food missed the mark by a mile. Not recommended at all.

Really disappointed. The channa masala was an unappetizing monochrome brown. The palak paneer wasn't bad but the lamb rogan josh was way too spicy, especially since we asked for it not to be. Also the lamb was full of bones.

Ordered kacchi biryani and beef tehari. The biryani was good but I had better. The beef Tehari was EXCELLENT!! Made me so homesick. The aroma or mustard oil in every lokma. And the chunks of beef so tender. Omg! So tasty. MashAllah. Ended with restaurant made fresh roshgollas and Doi. YUM! Can't wait to come back again

Terrible. Took an hour plus to come out for some rice. The food portions were so small for what you were paying for. And the service is terrible and especially how nasty it is in here, everything is sticky and the bathroom is disgusting. PLEASE DONT GO
