Pista House: Authentic Indian Cuisine with a Modern Twist in Reston

Pista House has been a place that We have frequented for more than 5 years now. They serve very good vegetarian food. The multi course lunch they offer is a very good setup for business meetings and more. But will review that on another day. Today it is about Al a carte dinner. The malai kofta is in white sauce which is amazing considering that most other places will use same sauce for malai kofta as for paneer makhani. Kadai paneer was good, not out of this world but nice. Spice levels are kept as requested. Naan are always fresh and soft here. The service is excellent. We were getting late and had to order on phone to avoid kitchen closing by the time we reach. However the staff was open to seating and serving us when we arrived and also baked fresh naan rather than serving what they had packed for us.

The food was above average Indian in the area, waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food portion is generous and price is more than reasonable, interior is clean and pleasantly quiet. We will definitely go back when we crave for Indian food.

Finally tried these guys and wish we did sooner, since we live close by. Food tastes great (though I'm not an expert in Indian cuisine). Chicken breast chunks in our dishes were soft and fresh. The rice was fluffy. The curry was savory. The spices were heavy hitting. The yogurt sauce tasted fresh. But most impressive is the portion sizes for what we paid. We left feeling pretty satisfied.

The best indian restaurant i have tried. Normally i am very specific about how indian food tastes and getting that authentic food over here is very difficult as you all know. But honestly i loved the experience and the waiters were soo friendly even the owner. The food was super fresh and super tasty. Maybe leave out the mutton starters but definitely take the mutton biriyani option instead of chicken in buffet. Appetizers were really good. But the highlight was bhaingan ka bharta and paneer butter masala with butter naan ( best one ) . Definitely will visit again !!

We had a family dinner here and all I can say is that 1) the haleem is soo good that I felt I had a spiritual experience when I ate it. 2) surprisingly the mirchi bajji was also extremely tasty 3) lot of restaurants near by dont have qubani ka meetha but they do so its an absolute pleasure. dont have too many expectations about the atmosphere or ambiance and go, you are most likely to hace a good time

I really enjoyed this experience! An all-you-can-eat served right at your table. The food was not bad, but it was fresh. The service was wonderful, our server made our lunch a wonderful time.

The customer service is amazing. I went there with my husband and brother in-law. I had chicken dosa, samosas, butter chicken, garlic naan and more. Everything was fresh and so so good. The place is beautiful. This my second time and I’m so grateful. They truly treat you like a VIP customer.

Pista House is easily one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve tried in the entire US. The haleem is a must-try — rich, savory, and packed with meaty goodness, elevated by a perfect touch of ghee. We ordered the naan and goat shahi korma, both of which were absolutely delicious. But the real standout was the goat sukha — hands down the best I’ve had anywhere in the US. Every bite was bursting with flavor. This meal ended up being the highlight of our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Pista House — an unforgettable dining experience!
