Fantastic restaurant. We eat plant based. Excellently flavored food. Dal Tadka is some of the best I've had. Attentive wait staff. Purposeful greeting. All 5 of us had great vegetarian entrees. Thank you. We live two hours away from Richmond and always look forward to eating here.
Ali is the most amazing person ever! He is so kind and attentive alongside the servers. The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and a perfect kick of spice. Every bite was a sigh of happiness and a look forward into the next. I highly ...
The food here is good EVERYTIME. flavors are bright & vibrant, service is great, every dish I have tried has been delicious. Ali & staff always take care of me & mine!
This is my favorite spot in Carytown! The staff is ALWAYS friendly and warm, and the food is consistently outstanding! Will be dining at this restaurant for a very long time to come. Also, the new renovations are very nice!
Decided to try Indian cuisine on a whim with a friend in 2023, I have been obsessed ever since and I only eat at this restaurant! The food has such great taste and flavor and is consistently delicious. I love seeing the staff who are always so friendly. The new renovations are beautiful — I love this spot! Life-long fan, I live almost 40min away but it’s WELL worth the drive. Did the mention the new renovations are stunning!
I’m not one to typically write reviews at restaurants, but this place was so delicious and the service was really attentive — new favorite restaurant! Started with the spicy garlic naan which was so good. Our favorites were the tandoori (tried the salmon and shrimp tandoori and the combo tandoori). It was freshly made and so rich and flavorful. The salmon was made really well (not too dry as many places are). The veggies were so flavorful and buttery. We stopped talking and ate in complete silence, mesmerized by the flavors! The waiters were also really kind and kept checking up on us! For formative feedback, as someone who can’t handle spice, I would appreciate the sauces being a bit spicier. Ordered medium spicy which was not spicy at all. Spicy was also not super spicy! Maybe offering an extra spicy sauce?
First time dining at Tulsi and WOW! Everything ordered was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were perfect - on par with what you'd find at a high-end cocktail bar (The Lychee martini is a must!!) There was a warmth and sincerity to the entire experience that’s hard to come by. Later learning that it’s a family-owned restaurant made the experience even more special - the hospitality and attention to detail were palpable! A true gem. 10/10
