  Aditi Restaurant is one of our local favorites. The food is always fresh and they make great cocktails as well. We love the soup which hits the spot when we need a warm up. Enjoy!

  My favorite restaurant! We always love the food, but this was our first time going for an occasion. Our waiter, Albert, went out of his way to make my birthday special. Always a great experience all around!

  I recently had the pleasure of dining at Aditi Indian Cuisine in Alexandria, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. We tried a variety of dishes, and each one was a delightful surprise. For our main courses, I had the Chicken Biryani, and my partner had the Cochin Shrimp Curry paired with Kerala-style Parotta. shrimp curry was a standout—creamy, well-balanced with just the right level of tanginess, and the Parotta was flaky and authentic, hitting that perfect note of crisp and softness you’d expect from a Kerala-style bread. For starters, we had this wonderful Malai Shrimp dish infused with cardamom and a hint of mint. It was creamy and rich without being heavy, and I’d definitely recommend it as a must-try appetizer. We also enjoyed a baby spinach chaat that added a nice crunch and fresh flavor to the start of the meal. They also served a beautiful blue-hued drink made from the extract of Shankupushpam flowers (butterfly pea flower), which was both visually stunning and delicious, especially with the dried lime garnish. If you’re into trying unique beverages, that one is a highlight. The ambiance of Aditi is elegant and welcoming. The décor is lovely, the noise level is comfortable, and the service is top-notch—professional, courteous, and very accommodating. It’s a great spot for families, groups, or anyone looking to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine in a refined setting. They have a nice selection of Kerala-inspired dishes hidden in the menu, so there’s plenty to explore if you love South Indian flavors. Overall, highly recommend Aditi Indian Cuisine. It’s a gem in Alexandria, and we’ll definitely be back!

  I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Aditi, thanks to Elvin! He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — attentive without being intrusive, super friendly, and genuinely cared that we were having a great time. His recommendations were spot-on, and his professionalism and warm personality really stood out. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. Elvin made our dining experience feel special — we’ll definitely be coming back because of him. Highly recommend asking for Elvin if you visit Aditi!

  My husband and I visited an Indian restaurant in the NOVA area today, and the food and overall experience were extremely disappointing. We ordered Gobi Manchurian as an appetizer and a vegetarian thali. The Gobi Manchurian, listed under their main course, was presented by the server as something they could charge as an appetizer. However, we were billed $17 as a full meal, which felt misleading and frustrating. The thali experience was even worse. They first served chicken makhani instead of paneer makhani, which was shocking and upsetting since we’re pure vegetarians. After requesting a change, they brought paneer makhani that was so watery you could literally see the water. The samosa was rock hard, likely old, and the rest of the curries and dal were bland and lacked even basic seasoning. When we asked for the check, the server brought another paneer makhani, which finally seemed like what we were supposed to get in the first place (see photos). We’ve tried many Indian restaurants in the NOVA area, but this was by far one of the worst experiences. The restaurant did waive the thali charge after we barely ate anything, but that didn’t make up for the poor quality, careless mistakes, and overall disappointing service. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed!
