'Too much is so good, you can't stop eating it. The tandoor-baked breads are not mere swabs for sauce but could be eaten, and enjoyed, on their own; the naan with cilantro and rock salt is terrific, as is the kulcha richly stuffed with minced lamb. Masala Art offers combinations you don't see often around here, but even its more familiar dishes can be revelations. Consider its samosas. They're flakier than a lot of the competition, and their filling of peas, potatoes and sweet raisins tastes fresher, too. A burst of cardamom in every bite helps. In the same vein, soft logs of minced lamb pulse with heat from jalapeno peppers, a shock offset with breezy mint. Pureed spinach is a vibrant green, flecked with corn and rich with garlic...' - WashingtonPost.com

    We ordered three dishes and all were very good: okra (bhindi), eggplant ( baingan barta), and chicken vindulu. We like spicy dishes but no extremely hot, We informed our server, and everything turned out just right.

    Excellent Indian flavors with modern techniques and fusions. I came with a friend from Delhi, and it was truly a treat to experience each course from both a new perspective, but also to have my friend speak to how the ingredients they use were common fare from his childhood, and praising how they elevated these humble staples to new heights. The cocktails pack a major wow factor with the presentation, and the flavors are excellent. Service was great, and on par with the Michelin rating. Complements to the chef, who was so kind to meet us in person despite the heavy prep his team had ahead of Thanksgiving!!!

    Absolutely outstanding food. So full of flavor. I've had saag 100 times at different Indian restaurants, but this was definitely the best. However, the clear winner of the night was the dal. cooked for 16 hours and with incredible floavor. Also the best i have had. Our waiter was very nice but he did have few problems remembering what we ordered, but it just meant that there was an additional dish to share. Very highly recommended.

    If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly blends incredible flavors and a cozy ambiance, look no further than The G.O.A.T Room. The food was nothing short of spectacular. We started with the masala fries, and they were an explosion of flavor, crispy on the outside and coated with just the right amount of spice. I could've drank the tikka dipping sauce through a straw! We also had veggie samosas, tandoori wings, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. I want to highlight them all but I'll leave it at everything was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold flavors, excellent service, and a cozy yet chic dining spot!

    We had a Great dinner there for my birthday. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, Indian Salad, Bhaingan Bharta, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan. It was WAY too much food for 2 of us but I wanted to try a bunch of my favorites. Everything came out hot (except the salad of course!) and tasted wonderful. We got “medium” spicy level and I felt we could have easily gone to “hot”. The staff was wonderful and also gave me a sweet birthday treat at the end. If we end up back in Alexandria we’d definitely go back.
