Service was absolutely incredible and the food was really good Would absolutely come back here

Bansari is the best Indian place in nova in my opinion. I usually only do takeout but this weekend we went in person. I got a mango lassi and it was good but it had only a light mango flavor despite being so colorful. We ate family style as a group of four and got a bunch of stuff. We started with the Dahi batata puri and samosa chaat (my favorite). The puri was great and the samosa chaat hit the spot like it always does, I only wished I asked for an extra side of tamarind sauce to go with! For the main meal we got butter chicken, aloo gobi masala, and chicken biryani. We also added garlic naan and the lachadar paratha. They were all great

This has got to be the best North Indian restaurant in the DMV area. One of my friends is a regular here. He has been hyping this place for a while. So decided to drive to Vienna all the way from DC. Also, a couple of my friends drove all the way from Baltimore to try it out. I must say that it was worth the hype. To begin with we ordered chai. It's a must have when you try Indian food. A couple of them ordered mango lassi as well. You cannot go wrong with either. For apps, we ordered paani poori, dahi poori and Gobi Manchurian. These are some of the fan favorites. Paani poori was our favorite. We didn't like Gobi manchurian as much. I have had better ones else where. For entrees, we went crazy. We ordered their most popular dish - amritsari tandoori chicken masala. Absolutely delicious. They have nice chunks of chicken marinated for hours in their tandoori masala and then cooked to perfection. It's a must have if you're visiting this place. Next fav - the goat curry. Oh my. This reminded me of some of the best curries from my favorite restaurants in India. So authentic. Goat was very tender and delicious. Other images such as palak chicken, cholle and assortment of rotis were great as well. To end your meal, highly recommend trying the rose falooda. Mind blowing taste. Love the crunchy texture of nuts and flavor of rose milk. Ambiance and service was great. I am definitely coming back here.

Always an excellent meal here! The curries have wonderful flavor and the spices are melded together perfectly. The naan is soft and spongy with just the right amount of chewiness. This is by far our favorite Indian restaurant! Great for larger groups; however, make sure that you make a reservation for a larger groups. The space isn't too crowded and the noise level is great to be able to converse with your dinner companions. I've tried nearly everything on the menu, a part for the dishes with nuts due to allergies and everything is just sensational! If you like well spiced Indian food Bansari is the best! Delicious!

Our favorite new Indian spot in NoVa! Rasika is our favorite Indian restaurant but the distance and time to DC prevents us from going here as much as we would like. Bansari got great ratings so we had to give it a try and it did not disappoint! We got the butter chicken and tikka masala at medium spice for takeout which was a good level for my husband who can't handle too much spice. I personally could've probably gone at least one level higher! They were both super flavorful and the sauce was . I really enjoyed the chick peas as well! I got the dry cauliflower and felt like we will pass on this next time but the garlic naan is an absolute MUST get. Overall, Bansari is definitely our new sprite Indian spot in the Falls Church/Arlington area and I can't wait to get it again soon!

We are back again. And WOW. If your taste buds crave a party and you don't fear flavor, then it doesn't get much better than Bansari, the best Indian in the DMV (we've been to many). Nothing pretentious, the excellent food is matched by the service. The chick peas (chole) is phenomenal (and comes with an order of samosas). Their take on butter chicken is unmatched - don't miss it. Ask for Krishna!

I still love Bansari. Everything is so good! If you can't handle spice, you may want to play it safe and get mild. Dishes that are always on the spicy side: chickpeas, Hakka noodles, chicken madras.

I found Bansari on Uber Eats and have been hooked ever since. Whenever my fiancé and I are craving something for our non-sober night, we usually opt for Bansari. Our go-to meal is always spot on--delicious the night of, and even better as leftovers the next day. We usually get the Amritsari Tandoori Chicken Masala (medium spicy), Garlic Naan, Raita (yogurt sauce), and Butter Chicken with Bone Delhi Special (also medium spicy). I tried the Amritsari with an extra level of spice once, but it was way too much for me. The jump from medium to hot was huge--I wish they had an option in between.. The Garlic Naan is my favorite by far (I've tried almost all of their naan options). They have varieties like cranberry & goat cheese, butter naan, truffle naan, and cheese naan.. I also tried their Pani Puri once, but it wasn't really my thing. It's neat that the food is ready for pick-up right by the door, so you don't have to walk all the way up to the front to ask for it. You can just park your car on the side, with your hazards on and pop in and out real quick. The service is always great too, they always greet you with a smile. I seriously love Bansari and will definitely keep coming back!

I've always wanted to try Bansari since people have hyped up the restaurant to me for a couple years now. Bansari is near the strips of restaurants/cafes/shopping plaza near Dunn Loring metro station! My friend and I stopped by for dinner this past Monday since we were both craving Indian food. Unfortunately, they were having some sort of plumbing issue so all orders had to be take-out. Fortunately, they do have some outdoor seating! The server was really nice and helpful. Our food came out pretty quickly and everything was quite delicious. SAMOSA CHAAT - 10 This is a great appetizer to share! The flaky pastry of the samosa was perfect, which was filled with well-spiced peas and potatoes. The toppings (chickpeas, red onion, and some others) only added more flavor, which left my friend and I speechless while chowing down the food. We'd definitely recommend this! SAAG PANEER - 18 This was good, but maybe a bit too salty. Overall, the spinach puree was rich and the deep green color was very pleasing to the eye. Not a strong spinach flavor/taste, though. There was a good amount of paneer in the dish which helped with the saltiness. This was good, but would have been better if it was less salty. The rice and naan helped. BUTTER CHICKEN - 20 Wow, the flavor of sweet tomatoes was so prominent. Maybe a bit too sweet, but it lived a positive impression on both of us. The chicken (we asked for dark meat) was super tender and soaked up the creamy sauce well. Went well with the rice and naan, of course. GARLIC NAAN - 4.5 Overall, this was OK. The naan was a bit stale so it was on the hard side of chewy. Not too much garlic flavor, either. But hey, it worked in scooping up our saag paneer and butter chicken. Good food and flavors, the portion sizes are pretty big here so you'll have plenty of leftovers for the next day.
