★★★★★ 5.0 Aditya Tornala · Jan 2026

Warm and cozy interior. The service was extremely fast. I went solo but server was always attentive to me. Highly recommend lamb shank moguhli - it was fatty, the roasted egg gave it a nutty flavor. Try it with carrot and raisins rice, it gives it a spicy and sweet flavor profile.

★★★★★ 5.0 Erica Hershler · Jan 2026

Meat portions in the entrees are very generous. Vegetables are sparse so ordering a vegetable side dish would be a good idea. The food is very tasty and the prices reasonable. We've also eaten at their other location on MacArthur Blvd. which was also a great experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shamin Dabiri · Nov 2025

Excellent service. We did the complete taste of aracosia and it was sooo much food. Huge portion sizes. Everything was so delicious! Definitely get the dumplings. The pumpkin dumplings were amazing. We will definitely be back.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Aracosia McLean. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. The pumpkin dumplings were a standout—perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of sweetness and sour flavors. The beef and chicken kababs were incredibly flavorful, tender, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was packed with rich spices. Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt great. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner spot or a place to celebrate with friends and family, this is a fantastic choice. I will definitely be returning to explore more of their menu especially the desserts! Highly recommend!

Food was delivered hot and fresh. I was greeted with bread and an assortment of delightful sauces. I ordered Quabuli Palou - lamb over amazing rice and roasted eggplant
