“ I love Indian food and this place really lived up to it! Authentic, feels like a home, and overall a wonderful experience. I went with my lady for an anniversary and we loved it. The butter chicken and bread was a favorite! They even set up our table for us beforehand and took care of us very well. Highly recommend! ”
“ This is not your typical restaurant! This feels more like dining at a wonderful Indian family's home, and just as welcoming. Upon entering for the first time, nothing is conventional... you essentially walk into the kitchen counter, chefs and staff busy making food right there.. We were greeted and made to feel at home right away! We were walked through the menu, and sampled various dishes to insure they had each one of our heat profiles down perfectly. Ordering was easy, and we took all the recommendations offered. We dined in, although you can tell many do takeout orders. The food was unbelievable! The flavor combinations and overall perfection of spice, flavor, and everything came together harmoniously! Soon the owner came out to make sure we were enjoying everything. Soon enough we had struck up a conversation and he asked my daughter to please, play the piano.. As she did, he sat and listened.. he is such a gift, and made her feel so wonderful. This, is what sets this family kitchen apart. We were guests, welcomed into this lovely family and enjoyed every second. Yes, the food MUST be had.. 100%. But to dine there, and feel the love and warmth of this family... is worth more than any cost of the food. From the host, guiding us through getting the perfect meal, to our lovely waitress, being so excited for our first taste... to the wonderful man who made my shy daughter feel so welcomed, she played in public.. I'm truly grateful for this place, and these amazingly charming people. Thank you! See you soon! ”
“ 1 million stars! Excellent food, excellent service, excellent people. My husband and I came here on our anniversary, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We’ll be back! ”
“ Fabulous first experience to Annie’s kitchen!! Enjoyed sampling the entrees from the chef and learning about Southern India regional dishes. So delicious!! It was wonderful to go to a new restaurant with all our alpha gal limitations and discover a whole world of foods that could be prepared for us or tweaked to our needs if we called ahead. Chef was very flexible on adjusting spiciness intensity as well. Will absolutely be back! The prices were a great value for portion sizes! You can eat in the quiet dining room if you prefer or take out. ”
“ We catered food from Annie’s Indian Kitchen for our son’s rehearsal dinner. The owner was super helpful throughout the whole process, right from suggesting what dishes to order, to even inviting my son and his wife to sample taste all the dishes before the event. The food at the rehearsal dinner was plenty, delicious and throughly enjoyed by all the guests!! The Biryani, butter chicken, chicken 65, lemon rice, masala dosa, parathas, onion pakoda and mutton curry were a runaway hit among the guests! Thank you Annie’s Indian Kitchen!! Would recommend 100%! ”
“ We had such an amazing experience here! At first, we were a little unsure walking in, but that quickly changed once we met the owner. He walked us through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel so welcome. Both the owners and our server were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuine. The food was absolutely delicious-so flavorful and fresh. You can definitely tell that it was homemade! Even if you're not sure you like Indian food, l'd encourage you to give this place a try! The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and inviting. Im already looking forward to coming back if I visit Virginia again!! ”
“ If I could give 100 stars, I would!! When we arrived, we were treated like family. I've never experienced this amazing level of service before. We were served with such care and given a great education about the food; you can tell the owner/chef is so passionate about everything he does. The food was heavenly, I cannot say enough about how perfect the flavors were for each dish. We had a group of 4 and split many dishes, every single one was incredible. We were not disappointed! Everything is cooked fresh and to order. We left very full and still had delicious leftovers. All in all, a lovely restaurant and beautiful family; we will come again! Thank you to Annie's Indian Kitchen for the wonderful night. ”
“ Best Indian food I’ve ever had. She gladly switched to coconut oil for me. I wish I could eat here everyday! ”
