Small family Pakistani restaurant with minimal seating. Definitely authentic as I was the only native English speaker there. The service was great, as were the recommendations. They definitely steered me to their special as everything else I asked about would “take a while.” The chicken Karahi was excellent and came out in a dinner sized portion…so I have a bonus to-go dish for later . They also were insistent about paying with cash instead of card although they did accept cards… I’m sure if I had insisted they would have. Frankly they would have gotten a 5 star rating is the whole ordering, paying, seating process had been more efficient. I’ll definitely be back…check out pictures of my meal attached.

Tasty food. We had their papri chat, chicken shwarma and delicious faluda. All of these iteams are yummy. One main problem is they accept cash only and I think it is troublesome. The staff should be more generous in dealing with the customers. Will order again.

I have been a regular at Ravi Chatkhara, and it certainly deserves a feedback from me to express my loyalty. Food and Service are standouts and unique. If you like to savor authentic Pakistani flavors, this place along with adjacent Ravi kabob are the best in the city. I’d recommend a weekend brunch of halva Poori / Lamb Karahi / Chicken Karahi / Biryani at Chatkhara. Arun who is the chef/manager ensures you leave the place happier. He would recommend the dishes for the newbies who may find the menu card overwhelming.

The food was above average, the portions were big, while the interior & level of hygiene were humble.

Don’t go here unless you’rw hoping for an OVERCHARGE on your card. I hadn’t been there for close to 5 years and just today, while I was in the neighborhood, I ordered a Lamb Karahi for pickup. It took them close to 20 minutes to prep, fully expected. The problem was when I went to pay, they charged me an extra $2 more than what the menu stated and 10% tax (carried out). I confronted them about it and they said there was an extra $1 charge because of rising food prices for each order and they claimed food tax in Virginia was 10%. I ordered one item, so roughly $5 tacked on to what the price should have been.
It finally dawns on me why other reviewers say they insist on cash rather than card… so that patrons can’t dispute the charge with their credit card company.

Good food! Sometimes the service can be slow and they only take cash which is sketchy. However the food makes it up.

I’m not even sure how people are dining here without realizing they are being over-charged/ scammed!
Like absolutely ridiculous!! If I don’t know how much the menu items are, I’d be scammed every single time.
I get 2 “side orders” and the guy rings me out for 40 bucks!!!
Another time, I get a chicken karhai alone which was the ONLY thing that was worth getting over the years; was charged 45 bucks, for a portion that seemed like leftovers.
Looks like forty something is their goal for every one who either dines-in/ carry out.
Please be vigilant and don’t get scammed!!
Also, please be aware that — should you use your card , you are not charged twice.
I was paying half in cash, and remaining in card, the guy ringing me out, charged me the same amount both in cash and card – again “double”!!!
Either the people there do not know basic math, or their system is outdated, or he just thinks people are stupid! Definitely the latter.

I usually love this place but I got the Lamb Karahi which is supposed to be the house special. I didn’t mind paying $3 more than was listed on the menu but I was not happy about 1/3 of it being bones. I have had this dish several times before and expect a few bones but was extremely disappointed to bring this home and find so many bones. If I would have eaten in the restaurant I would have made it an issue. They need to tighten things up.
Also if they choose to have young staff they need to train them in customer service.

Staff are very friendly and the food is amazing. This food is the #cure for a wet rainy day like today. Also if you order it medium spicy it will help clean out your sinuses! I ordered the boneless chicken karahi with chickpeas, rice, and a side of samosa chat. I highly recommend this food! So good.
