Athidhi Authentic Indian Cuisine

We reserved the banquet hall at Athidhi for a birthday celebration. The event space was large with ample room for decorations and tables for the guests. The food was served buffet-style in a separate room with additional seating options. The staff provided exceptional service, assisting with the booking, menu suggestions, clear instructions, recommendations for decorators, and setting up the banquet hall. The food was delicious, with a mix of popular dishes and some new items that were appreciated by the guests. Although we had ordered for 37 guests, some could not attend due to flu season, and we found the quantity of food to be insufficient. The trays often appeared empty, and guests had to hold back on eating. If the team had refilled the trays promptly and ensured all the food was served, it would have enhanced the dining experience. Overall, we had a positive experience with friendly and accommodating staff at the restaurant. One area for improvement would be ensuring that the quantity of food ordered is available promptly for guests.

We had a dinner at Athidhi during our visit to DC, it was not a good experience. Ambiance was good, service was good but food was terrible. Both chicken and goat biryani were dry and terrible to taste, goat was not fresh. It was waste of money and time I would definitely not recommend this place

This restaurant is located by Route-50, near to Costco Chantilly. Very to close to Fairfax (May be 15 minutes drive for Herndon/Reston people). Went there for a dinner. All the food tasted very good and delicious. It is more of Andhra style food, so for someone who likes spicy South Indian style food, this is the place. After the ownership change, they are going through some restructuring and I was told they are working on re-introducing the buffet in a month or two.

The food at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic. The okra curry with peanuts tasted just like my grandmother used to make. It brought back memories of her cooking and left me feeling satisfied with just one meal. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused, as I am not very knowledgeable about food. The chef is truly amazing, and their culinary skills are evident in the perfection of the dish.

Recently been to this restaurant. First of all, the restaurant is under renovation and until the work is done they should not have opened the dine in service. The quality of food has gone down like anything. I ordered Dosa and I must say, it was not worth. Beside the taste, presentation was just poor. Sambar tasted just horrible. Until I get to read a decent review , I m not going to spend a dime here any more. You got to improve.
