There are so many mainstream Indian restaurants these days that clear standards are needed. I will suggest one: can the place serve up vegetable dishes that actually taste like something? For this restaurant the answer is, surprisingly, yes. That said, it's a mixed bag. Nothing is spicy enough. I had a lamb vindaloo there that was positively bad. Still, overall this is better than many mainstream Indian places but it's still not nearly as good as my favorites, such as Angeethi in Herndon.
