Jyoti Indian Cuisine

I never really leave a review but this had to happen: *trigger warning- chewed food pictures* We ordered Jyoti’s butter chicken on DoorDash no more than an hour ago. Half way through eating the order my husband chews a bit on what he thinks is rubbery chicken to find out it’s a curled bandage. We call the restaurant and am first told there is no manager present this evening, then am moved around from person to a final person that claims no one on their team has a band aid or cuts in their hand. So it’s either old food from back when someone did have a cut, or they are lying. Either way this is entirely unacceptable, and disgusting. Though he agrees to approve a refund through DoorDash, but so far thats still pending. I am immune compromised.. so we are just hoping this isn’t somethin

Hands down, this is the best Indian restaurant in the entire DC area. I am not kidding. I love Indian food and have tried so many places from hole in the wall to super fancy. There is very good Indian in the area but Jyoti is byfar the most superior. The place is not very fancy but it's nice. Most importantly, the food is always mind blowing. You must have the Saag Paneer!!!! It is a bit difficult to get to because it is in Adams Morgan but believe me it is worth the trek. For a date, I highly recommend this place as a date location with someone you are already comfortable with because you may be sweating a bit with some dishes.

We had a great experience at Jyoti Indian Cuisine. The food was delicious and well prepared, and we were genuinely very curious and excited to try each dish because of how nicely everything was explained to us. And specially her way of talking was very polite, calm, and friendly. She explained the menu patiently, which made us more interested and confident in ordering the food. She checked on us with a smile and made us feel comfortable throughout the visit.

I had one of the worst dining experiences at this restaurant. The staff was extremely unprofessional and the management especially the manager didn’t seem to care at all about customer satisfaction. The food was served cold, and to make things worse, the naan was hard and stale – easily the worst I’ve ever had. What’s even more shocking is the ridiculously high pricing compared to the tiny portions they serve. It genuinely feels like they are cheating customers with inflated prices and low-quality food. Save your money and time. There are far better places out there that actually care about their food and service. I’ll definitely never be coming back here, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Food is fine, good service and ambience. Located in a nice street. Just a little tough for parking. Almost all items tasted decent. The portions are very small so you usually end up ordering double than regular restaurants. The price is also very high.
