Amazing buffet for lunchtime, weekend lunch is when you should go.  Real Indian food, north and south.<\/strong>  Truly spicy.  The best are the dishes that look weird or unusual.  Use the chutneys.  Use the curd rice.  Experiment.  One of the best places on this list if you know how to choose from the buffet properly.  Buffet spicier, and more interesting, on the weekends.  (Non-buffet) dinner is also excellent, though sometimes a bit slow.  Opt for their unusual dosas and south Indian specialties.  Great for people-watching, especially at lunch.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nYou\u2019ll notice they have some Chinese dishes, which mimic how Chinese food is served in India.  The peppered chicken is best.  Indians love these, they are evidence of how authentic the restaurant is, not the contrary.<\/p>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minerva, web site, 10364 Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA, 703-383-9200 (Metro Trip Planner &#8211; opens in new window) [Washingtonian | City Paper | food-plan | openlist | Citysearch] Other locations: 2443-GI Centreville Road, Herndon, VA, 703-793-3223 [Gayot] 14513-B Lee Jackson Memorial &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/minerva\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,15,16,17,12,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fairfax","category-herndonrestonashburn-dulles-airport","category-indian","category-southern-indian","category-the-best","category-virginia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":875,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39\/revisions\/875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tylercowensethnicdiningguide.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
