Tatva Indian Cuisine - Herndon

Worst place to get south india takeout!!!!! A order of idli took 1.5 hours!!!!! ' Do not recommend anyone going there.

We walked in with no one to greet, an almost empty place with one customer eating food. We waited to be seated (as per the sign) no one came for next 5 7 minutes. So we just sat at a table. A girl passed by who seemed to be the employee, we got it confirmed that it was open. More wait to receive the menu. We started to order, and were told you can’t order certain items (pretty much every item we wanted) . We asked for menu that had items that were actually being offered. We were given a different menu card. We ordered two different dosas. For next 30 40 minutes no one showed up. Finally mine of us walked up to the kitchen and asked if we were ever going to get served, the chef (who didn’t speak any English showed us the ready to serve plates indicating there was no one to bring them out) Finally the waiter brought those out. Both Dosas were cold, limp and soggy by now. But more disappointing was the taste!!! OMG! So very salty and absolute zero on authenticity!! Mysore Masala Dosa had readymade Lasoon chutney on it as a replacement for “Podi” and Madras masala Dosa had “sambal“ as a replacement to onion chutney! It was sheer salt and Vinegar medley!! What a waste! The accompaniments like Sambar and chutneys were equally disappointing if not more. In all a complete disappointment No service, Bad taste and cold food. Never going back there again.

Negative feedback Took 25 mins to make upma though was told 10 mins Tip is to explicitly tell them it can't be later than a said timeframe

Good place with decent taste and reasonable pricing .

Value for money, everything is fresh. Try onion chillies masala dosa.
