We went to Spice Circle for Sehri and honestly, everything was top notch. The food was so fresh and flavorful and it came out really quickly, which we appreciated.
The owner, Samad bhai, personally came over, introduced himself, and even recognized us. That kind of hospitality is rare and meant a lot. They even gave us complimentary drinks chaat papri, which was such a thoughtful touch.
The lady helping us was so kind and attentive, and the whole atmosphere felt welcoming and friendly. May Allah bless the new restaurant Ameen

I tried Spice Circle Tadka and was really impressed. The palau was fragrant and perfectly seasoned, the shami kebab tender, and the chicken tikka juicy with a great smoky flavor. The standout was the matanjan zarda easily the best I’ve had in the DMV: aromatic, colorful, and perfectly balanced. Overall, a fantastic meal and a spot I definitely plan to revisit.

Spice Circle Desi Tadka has become our go-to for a satisfying desi food in Ashburn. you’ll find a clean, spacious, and warmly decorated dining room with comfortable booths and tasteful cultural accents. It’s the perfect ambiance for a relaxed family dinner or a casual meal with friends—bright enough to see your food, calm enough to have a conversation.
The food is consistently delicious and feels homely. The Chicken Tikka Masala is a standout—creamy, well-spiced, and full of tender, smoky tandoori chicken pieces. Biryani is another winner, fragrant with long-grain basmati rice and generous chunks of meat. Their garlic naan is always fresh, soft, and buttery.
Service is friendly and efficient. It’s not fine dining, but it doesn’t try to be—it’s honest, flavorful food served in a very pleasant setting at a great value. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic taste without any fuss.

Wasn’t a good experience. Butter chicken tasted like eating a stick of butter. Beef nihari was bland. Garlic naan was decent. Samosas were the only thing that was very good. Love Indian food but can’t recommend.

As a native Pakistani foodie this place hits the spot and then some. Authentic Karhai taste that you will find from the best of Pakistan. The chicken was tender where you can taste the individual spices. Making Karhai isnt everyones art but this place has figured it out. The restaurant is clean, brightly lit, has a inviting atmosphere. The staff is professional and attentive. Great new addition to Ashburn!

If you’re searching for truly authentic Desi cuisine right here in Ashburn, look no further than Spice Circle with Desi Tarka. I’m happy to say that this restaurant consistently serves up food that is not just good, but exceptional..it has that perfect, kick that instantly throws you back to the flavors of home. Everything they do is top-notch.
While all their dishes deserve praise, my recent visit was perfectly timed with their third Friday Live music Event, which elevated the experience even further. The stars of the show tonight were the Haleem, the rich and tender Nihari, the perfectly spiced Kababs, the aromatic Biryani, and of course, the creamy, flavorful Butter Chicken. These dishes stand among some of the absolute best I’ve had in the region.
It makes me so happy to see SPICE CIRCLE Desi Tarka thrive and become its own powerful brand, and the best part is it’s right in our own backyard! No more driving all the way to Falls Church to visit their original location.
Finally, a massive shoutout to the owner, Nouman. He is a truly humble and respectful person. I absolutely love how he makes the effort to visit each and every table, personally checking for satisfaction. That level of dedication and care really rounds out the entire dining experience. Highly recommended!

We visited Spice Circle in Ashburn and fell in love with the food from the very first bite—honestly, it felt like pahla pahla pyaar all over again.
I’ll admit, after reading a few negative reviews in this group, I was a bit nervous when my wife suggested trying it for lunch. I gently hinted that maybe we should go somewhere else, but choosing that battle on a cool, cloudy weekend didn’t seem wise—so off we went.
The restaurant is only five minutes from our place, and we reached in no time. Parking was plentiful, and the elegant look of the restaurant—with a “baggi” (horse cart) right out front—made a great first impression. Another peek inside revealed a fine-dining vibe.
As soon as we entered, we noticed a small prayer area by the door with a mat laid out, and a cozy sofa to the right. We walked in and were invited to sit anywhere since it wasn’t too busy. The bright, clean ambiance won us over instantly, and we settled at table number 8.
Menus arrived quickly, bound in rich leather—one of the few times you should judge a book by its cover . The selection was impressive: a variety of karhais, tandoori items, haleem, nihari, lachha paratha, even omelettes.
While we browsed, Abdus Samad Nouman bhai stopped by to take our drink order. My younger one loves mango lassi, so that was a must. Since it was our first time, we asked for his recommendation on which karhai to try. He didn’t hesitate: Desi Chicken Karhai. We added that and Nihari to our order. He kindly warned us that the karhai takes 40 minutes because it’s made fresh, which we appreciated. He also offered us chai on the house.
The lassi and chai arrived quickly. The chai came in one of those little kettles like you see on the streets of Pakistan (or at Toosso), enough for 3–4 cups. The first sip instantly raised our expectations—strong, perfectly brewed, exactly the color a proper chai should be. While still sipping, we were served a thoughtful salad: not just the usual lettuce and onions, but also olives, chickpeas, kidney beans, and even a pickled pepper like those from Arab restaurants. It reminded me of the Olive Garden salad, just plated instead of served in a bowl.
We chatted about our upcoming trip and nibbled on the salad, not even realizing 30 minutes had passed. Then our Nihari, Desi Chicken Karhai, and three hot naans arrived. The visuals alone were enough to get us excited—the aroma was even better.
I started with the Nihari. Thick, rich, authentic gravy. A squeeze of lime, some ginger, and that first bite confirmed it tasted great. My older son suggested adding a pinch of salt; once I did, the flavor jumped to the next level. I still love the Nihari from Toosso, but this one could definitely compete. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
Feeling optimistic now, I moved on to the Desi Chicken Karhai—and that first bite delivered a full-on WOW. Rich, flavorful, perfectly spiced, with a subtle kick of black pepper and incredibly tender, juicy chicken. Every bite tasted freshly made.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend brunch. The bill came to about $85 with tax and tip, and we still had enough leftovers for dinner and the next day. My only regret? This place is only five minutes away… which means I’ll probably be handing over a good chunk of future paychecks here. They also offer a Friday night buffet for $35 with live music, which we’re planning to try after our vacation.
Everything we tried—Desi Chicken Karhai, Nihari, and the fluffy naan—was spot on. Great service, excellent food, lovely ambiance. Finally, a Pakistani restaurant in the area that delivers amazing flavors and an experience you’d be proud to bring guests to.
