Butter Chicken Company - Capitol Hill

Pros: you get your food super quickly (they just scoop it into a container); good portion sizes; reasonable price for the amount of food; nice alternative to going into Union Station Cons: the food is "meh." It's just okay. Not terrible but not delicious, either. I don't regret going but I'm also not sure whether I'd return.

This butter chicken was definitely something to rave about! Hear a lot about it before and makes it at home often but never actually had it from a restaurant. It was very aromatic and tasted heat with the perfect amount of spice and the chick peas were great with the rice!

Not Indian street food food, it was a true disappointment. Indian cuisine is extremely good and rich, and this place does no honor to Indian street food. The prices are relatively high for the mediocre food quality, so there is a better bang for your. Service was kind, very nice ladies but unfortunately you come to this places for food more than 5-star service. Ambiance was ok, enough sitting, no need for reservation. I unfortunately can't recommend this place.

First I have to say that me and my partner are big fans of Indian food and this place was a big disappointment. I ordered tikka masala chicken with chickpeas and rice and my favorite part of the meal was the riceThe chicken tasted really bad, the texture was not good at all, the chickpeas was in a "sauce" very watery, spicy but in an uncomfortable way, didn't taste Indian at all. I know that this place is a low key Indian restaurant and my favorites places are low key, I was not looking for something fancy, just good food, but this was definitely not the place to have real Indian food. Not recommended at all

What a gem! For less than $12 you could get up to four different dishes. They're all in giant woks or giant cooking apparatus and you can see the sauce still simmering as the food is scooped up into your container. I got a split butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with vegetable biryani and Chana masala on the side. It comes with one garlic naan. And you can get (complimentary) sauces on the opposite end table -- they have cilantro chutney and vindaloo sauce. The chicken dishes were not too spicy and they were very flavorful. Gonna say it again, as a picky eater who has a pretty Asian palate, this is definitely a gem in flavors, portions, and pricing. $12 ANYWHERE in the States is good, but in DC is almost mind blowing. The VALUE is so there. One serving is easily two meals for me or a very hungry guy I think. I am definitely coming back again and maybe will even make this a regular spot!!Street parking is what I found.... Unless others know some secrets to share?

This place looks super cute from the road and is in a nice location close to Union station. The amount of food you get for the price is great! Each entree comes with naan, a main dish, and two sides. I got the butter chicken and I will say it was super spicy. Edible, but above my comfort level. If you like spicy butter chicken then this is the place for you!

Some of the best Indian food around. simple, classic, and very tasty every time. This is my reliable spot, love this place. Service is fast and friendly and there's plenty of seating. Have tried lots of Indian food spots in the area and this ones always come out on top for food taste.

I heard good things about this place on social media. I came in one evening around 9pm. And before i go further, maybe i would have a different review had i come earlier in the day. I ordered the paneer spinach, Chana masala and vegetable biryani. All the food tasted very stale, as if it had been sitting out for days. The Chana masala had a weird sour taste. I don't usually do this, but after a few bites i threw the whole plate away.

The food is delicious!!! I love their bread! The portions are small for the cost. The customer service is good.

This used to be a great place for a quick and decent lunch or dinner. The food was good and you got a decent portion for the price. However lately the service has fallen - they often don't have condiments available or seem to care you cane in. Today, I picked up butter chicken for lunch and the portion size is almost 1/2 of last time I came in. In addition one dish was cold and my butter chicken mostly rice. Sorry to say that this last visit was highly disappointing.
