    The staff went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was superb. The food was delicious, and plentiful. We will enjoy leftovers another night! We have dined there previously, but our friends had not, and they LOVED it. Thank you, Aracosia, for a memorable evening.

    Excellent service and hospitality at the very start as our reservation was for 6pp and we actually were 7pp, and the manager immediately accommodated us! The appetizer, beverages and food were delicious, a nice balance and range of spicy, mild and sweet tasting dishes! We finished with desserts including a complimentary slice of birthday cake curtesy of the restaurant. Highly recommend for casual to special occasions!

    This is a fantastic place in McLean. Very cozy and inviting with excellent sized portions that were extremely tasty. This is not a cheap place. But the food and drinks are well worth the cost.
