Herbivore Indian Cuisine

Delicious. Generous portions and the food was aromatic and flavorful. Generous pieces of lamb in the biriyani and for $17.50, the serving size can easily feed a group of 3. The yogurt and cucumber sauce was thin but it was flavorful and cut the spices well.Butter chicken was on the sweeter side and the chicken was super tender and well seasoned. I loved it with the naan.I would come back.

I recently dined at Herbivore and had their Lamb Vindaloo, which was absolutely fantastic! The lamb was incredibly tender and the vindaloo sauce had just the right amount of spice--bold, flavorful, and full of depth. The heat was balanced perfectly with a tangy undertone that made each bite exciting. Herbivore really impressed me with their authentic take on this classic dish. If you're a fan of spicy, flavorful Indian cuisine, I highly recommend trying the Lamb Vindaloo here!"ps. the vegetable samosas are great!

Attention SCAM alert:I hate saying this , but "Herbivore" is simply awful---- not just because of the actual food served(although this is mostly very pedestrian fare) but mainly because of the elaborate con on the unsuspecting average American consumer!The entire menu consists of basically frozen Indian TV dinners (bought 'locally' from the Indian Grocery Store in Hyattsville) --- just warmed up in the Microwave or Air-Fryer & served fresh to your waiting appetites:) You can literally hear the Microwaves beeping away to infamy in the background!! Nothing is made on premises -- literally nothing:-(This is an insane business model that defies all logic and is fundamentally dependent on the patrons' ignorance. Don't believe me ---ask them yourself---where'd you get your Naan from?; Can I see your Tandoor oven?; Why does your Rasmalai taste exactly like 'Nanak Frozen Rasmalai'? There's no in-house chef or anyone even remotely resembling one. Not an Indian patron in sight (other than us of course) and the waiter was so nervous serving us---did not want to tell us anything. I guess he couldn't warn us even if he wanted to :(Got to give them props for their nerve to pull this off though---never seen anything like this business model before--almost makes you want to high-five them for their sheer audacity!Avoid at all costs--unless you want a TV dinner for 4 times the price!

I visited here a few months ago and the place looked good. They had a good variety of dishes. I ordered the biryani and it didn't disappoint. Definitely check out this place if you are in the Georgetown area for an Indian lunch/dinner.

If you love Indian food, stop by Herbivore Indian Cuisine just off the busy section of Georgetown. Most people order delivery or takeout, but if you go in-person, you'll be greeted by a kind staff eager to introduce you to new flavors from their home country.My wife and I walked in around 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday evening in April. We got a table right away in the tiny dining room. There's also a back covered patio with tables in different colors.Everything we ate was excellent, especially the palak chaat. Its flavors and texture really explode. The butter chicken comes with rice and I recommend it with the regular naan and tamarind chutney. Chai was a great way to end the dinner.For one appetizer, two entrees, chai, naan, and chutney, it was around $55.

Herbivore had been on my list for so long and such a disappointment! Ordered a bunch of stuff for delivery. Entrees hover around $16-$20 and are 16oz but mostly sauce. My korma had 4 in the emite container. Everything was fine, not great. Portions were also small for the cost. Flavored well but we won't be returning.

Stopped in for a plate of veggie biryani this afternoon seeing that they had a promotion running. The staff were warm and friendly throughout, and the interior decorated richly with tankas, floral ribbons and other trinkets; sure some of the banners and adornments was held up with thumbtacks, but I found this more charming than lazy. As for the food, it was quite tasty for the most part. The rice was basmati was nicely-cooked and well-spiced, the fried onions giving it a nice savory crunch, and the raita imparting a tangy creaminess. It was also presented in a very traditional and visually-pleasing stupa shape, which I appreciated. My only grievance is that the veggies were a bit lackluster, as they appeared to be canned corn, peas and carrots. No issue with any of these flavor-wise or vegetables themselves as biryani can be made with many different veggies; it just seemed a little lackluster as far as quality goes. Even so, overall a very pleasant experience for an Indian take-out place. Four stars is too low; maybe 4.5 stars is a bit more accurate.

Smells amazing when you walk in! This is primarily a vegetarian restaurant but also has meat options. Went with my mom and we decided to try a bunch of appetizers & go all vegetarian. All were great, here's what we ordered: Palak Chaat : one of my favorites I've had recently Vegetarian Manchurian: great sauce, like sweet & sour veggie meat ballsIdli Sambar: spongy idli & yummy coconut chutney, the sambar needed a little more flavor (IMO)Paneer Pakora: like Indian mozzarella sticks sort of; great seasoning & while fried that were not oily at all. My mom especially loved theseVegetable Samosa Chaat: my favorite & very surprising! It's a smothered samosa; I loved the flavor gravy on top of this with the chick peas, etc -- could eat that everyday!Definitely will go back -- service was great and he was helpful answering all my questions! Small restaurant; best for a party of 2-4. Great vegetarian or vegan options -- but also plenty chicken & lamb dishes for the non-vegetarian. My only critique is that I wish everything was served with real dishes or plates vs all disposable for sit down experience.

Food was very tasty, but it seems like some of the items are frozen when you order them and then they warm it up. Great service and the ambience is authentic
