Indochen

I have been to Indochen restaurant several times with my family as well as with office staff. I never had difficulty getting reservations. I like the ambience of peaceful & coziness of the restaurant. Very spacious!Food: No comment ! Simply the best !!Service: Always feel welcomed! Everyone is always courteous, from server to owner. Is niceness in their blood ?Overall, Indochen is excellent and deserves more than 5 stars!!!Keep it up.

I was craving Indian food last night, so I got Indochen delivered via UberEats. Prices on the app are steeper than in-store, but I'll list the current in-store prices in this review. I've been meaning to try Indochen after hearing positive reviews, but unfortunately, it's a bit out of the way. PALAK PANEER - 19This came with a small container of palak paneer and some basmati rice. The food was still pretty warm upon delivery. The palak paneer was on the chunkier side, not pureed like I'm used to, but I actually liked that it was chunky. However, I thought it lacked salt/seasoning. The amount of spice was good, but could use a bit more "oomph." The paneer was just OK, not as soft or spongy as I had hoped. The basmati rice was wet, almost to the point of soggy. Meh.The food for the portion size at Indochen is already pretty expensive at its regular price, so I would highly recommend against ordering it off of third-party delivery apps. I'm not opposed to coming back, but I would definitely eat the food dine-in and try something else.

Second time's the charm!Came here unknowingly that it was restaurant week and it was delicious! We each got an appetizer and a main and split everything which was perfect.Everything was really good, the standout to me was the tandoori chicken which was so juicy, moist, and spicy (mostly dark meat, my favorite).Food was so good and I really love the location, cameron station is so cute and it overlooks the water which was romantic for a platonic dinner.Service was great too, everyone was super nice!

Came to Indochen during dinner time and I really enjoyed it! I ordered the Butter pasta (butter chicken with penne pasta) it was very tasty! The portion was great for the price ($18) and garlic naan. I wanted to try one of their sandwiches but they were sold out, maybe next time. The service was excellent, our waitress was very nice and attentive. The restaurant has a lot of tables for all party sizes. I highly recommend checking this place out!

recently added a "cameron corner" menu section which has a chicken sandwhich that is delicious burgers and other american/bar food to better serve the local neighborhood.also love happy hour every day from 3-6 over all great place who is listening to its customers

One of the DMV's best kept secrets indochen beautifully blends traditional Chinese and Indian dishes and flavors for a truly one of a kind experience. With incredible dishes and phenomenal wine pairings this is a must stop when you're in the area.

I love this location in Cameron Station! Much more than their Old Town location. The dining room feels big and airy and modern, yet really cozy. I've come here a few times now, gotten takeout twice and dined in once with friends. My favorite is the crispy kale chaat--such a memorable dish!! I'm not sure if the kale is roasted or baked, but it's total perfection, with mango, pomegranate seeds, tamarind chutney and also mint chutney on top. It's a meal in itself, it's sooo delicious. The other dish I love is the Salmon. It's listed just that way (not to get confused with the salmon tikka masala) and it's served grilled with spices with chickpeas and mushrooms. It was also delicious. Also good is the sesame tofu on the appetizer menu. My friends and I split the shrimp chowmein and the fish mandarin. The chow mein was more on the average side and the fish mandarin was tasty but took a bit of mental preparation as the fish is served whole. Next time I'd love to try the schezwan fish and the keema noodles. The lunch specials look great too and will look forward to trying that on a weekday. Staff here is very pleasant and kind which always makes a restaurant.

Indochen is a cozy restaurant in Alexandria that serves delicious Indian and Chinese food. My biggest worry about these dual-cuisine places is that they tend to make one cuisine better than the other, but it was a pleasant surprise to find this was not the case! We were able to come on a Friday night at 5:30 pm without a reservation and got seated easily.Every dish was so, so good, and I have no complaints about anything. My personal favorites:- Pork belly: The orange glaze was perfect (not too sweet, not too salty), and the pork belly was so tender and juicy. A great appetizer!- Chicken tikka masala: I think this was the star of the show! It's a classic, simple dish that you think tastes delicious everywhere, but then you eat this and wonder what you've been missing out on. The sauce had amazing flavors with the chicken, and this might be the best tikka masala I've ever had.- Butter naan: Hear me out about this one. They were so generous and gave each of us a whole basket of naan, and every piece was light, warm, and airy. I loved how well it complemented the entrees, which are very sauce-heavy.I wish more people knew about this place because it's so underrated. Come here if you can!

Amazing. Never disappointed. Definitely recommend. Their Aged Manhattan is epic. Put this on your "must try" list.

We eat here once every other week. Their food can be spicy so I would order down a level or two here (Or three)The customer service is great, very friendly and personable. We always get the butter chicken and a chicken curry dish. The lamb is great too. They do put a good amount of meat in each serving. One serving is enough for two people. The rice dish for two is enough for 4 people with leftovers. The lunch menu has smaller portions and well priced. Happy hour at the bar ends at 6pm during the week.
