Reviews for Mehak Indian Restaurant Chantilly in Chantilly, VA

My wife and I ordered Lamb Vindaloo, Butter Chicken, Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan, Gulab Jamun and Mango Chutney. Our bill for... pickup with a 10% tip and tax came to $90. In general everything was just OK. Both my wife and I thought most dishes were kindaboring and plain. Of all, the Chicken Biryani was the best, but there's better around here. The Butter Chicken was our leastfavorite. I don't understand all of the positive comments about it. It seemed like some chunks of chicken stewed in tomato soup,to be brutally honest. The portions of all dishes except for the Biryani were too small -- especially considering theprice. This restaurant does not deserve the high ratings in our opinions. The ratings seem suspect considering they are muchhigher than better restaurants in this area. In short, we were disappointed and won't be coming back. Read more

Our favorite restaurant in the area! Gotta go with the chicken Tika masala and butter nan! Also chicken korma and saag...so... good!!! Read more

A nice casual Indian restaurant. The prices are good, considering I had enough for two extra meals at home. I ordered the... vegetable biryani, which was fresh and delicious. Very tasty. The latte style tea was really good, and unique. It's my secondtime there, so that tells you something! Read more

We went here during lunch hours. Following are the dishes we ordered. 1. Chole Bhature : Chole were really good bhaturas can be... improved they were really small. 2. Chilly Chicken : It was good spice level was appropriate. 3. Aalo Paratha and Gobi Parathawere also good served with fresh yogurt. (Next time we did a togo order but Gobi Paratha at that time was average not how it wasduring our first dine in order) 4. Lassi was good not too sweet. The staff is really friendly including the owners which givesyou a homely vibe. When asked for extra curd they did not hesitate and provided a bowl full of yogurt 10/10 forhospitality. Worth visiting. Read more

Amazing food and lovely staff. We even got a yummy complimentary Galub Jamun. Will definitely visit again.

Follow Up Response to Owner: My intent was neither to be sarcastic nor was it intended to induce a reverse insult by you to me,... a patron. My review was an attempt to produce an unbiased personal opinion which I thought I was entitled to do at anyrestaurant I visit. Unfortunately, there is no rating here on yelp to reflect 'not applicable or neutral', so I will graciouslyincrease my rating from two stars to three stars in an attempt to take the high road here. However, your statement thatproviding patrons with Nestle plastic bottled waters is a special benefit is your entitled opinion. For me, I am not in favorof my family drinking water in plastic bottles due to proven leaching of plastic degradation over time which is toxic for humanconsumption, pending the length of time the water remains in the bottle and the quality of the PET rating of the bottle. Neitherof which I can determine on first time entry into your establishment. Also, in my opinion, serving a larger group with plasticwater bottles appears aesthetically tacky for a restaurant that wants to position itself among higher priced restaurants. Thetable remains cluttered with Nestle brand plastic bottles. Regarding privacy, I won't spend time arguing this point with you. I simply want to inform the people that do take issue with the constant bombardment of security webcams at every turn andlocation that they can decide for themselves how comfortable they are with the numerous surveillance cameras that are pointingtowards customers as they walk in and sit down in your restaurant. Lastly, be prideful for your accomplishments, but no soprideful that you ignore your patron's opinions. Best wishes on your continued success. Original Review: I appreciate all thegood reviews but our experience was not in line with our expectations of an upper echelon restaurant with higher than averageprice points on the menu. Upon entering for the first time and being seated, the waitress brought us medio Read more

Couple budget : $20 This place reminds me of restaurant  in Disney's Movie Spin. Must visit for authentic Indian food. Our... server Sandy (Sandhya) was quite helpful in deciding the best entr'ee. We stared with yummy  Sam's in appetizers. Though ChanaBhatura is not mentioned in menu but it's available at $12.99. (Thanks for letting us know Sandy!) For Veg lovers we ordereddelicious Daal Makhni with rice and I ordered mouthwatering flavourful Karahi Chicken for myself with super soft butter Naan. Itcloses at 14:30 after lunch and reopens at 17:00 for dinner.  Will definitely revisit. Read more

Not so great as the reviews but still amazing food. Please dont go by the extremely high ratings, the Samosas are average. Not... the best ones in town. The chutneys are average. The chole bhature was good but mot outstanding like the reviews. But the placeis clean, has a good vibe, pleasant owners, and offers varieties. One of the better Indian reataurants in the area Read more
