    The food was awful. Taste and texture was that off 3 day old microwaved reheated left over food. Lacked luster, creativity, soul. I was extremely disappointed and embarrassed for the guests which I had invited.

    Best Indian Cuisine in RVA. Period. Sonny knows what he’s doing. By far the best wine list of any Indian restaurant I have been in.

    A group of seven. The food kept coming… Even things that weren’t exactly on the menu, but we had described what we wanted, and it appeared. Wonderful, taste, thoughtful, personal service. It is no secret. This is why we return.

    We absolutely love Lejha ! The food was amazing and I could tell our sever really was committed to our experience. He recommended the most delish cauliflower appetizer! Both of our entrees were outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about our experience!
