Exceptional!  Just ordered carry out from here for the first time, and I was definitely impressed.  Restaurant was very nice inside and I will be back to dine in.  Chicken Vindaloo was the perfect combination of spicy and flavorful, and the Vegetable Samosas were also excellent.  Reasonably priced for very high-quality, authentic Indian cuisine.

Definitely expected more for what I paid for the food. The butter chicken and the chana masala were very watery. I’ve had these dishes at many other Indian restaurants and have tasted better. Will be trying the buffet soon to see how the other foods are. More...

This place is real! The food is amazing. We had pepper fry goat, chicken korma and vegetable biryani. The goat was spicy yet delicate. Chicken was very flavorful, perfect sauce over rice. Their biryani is served in a brass dish baked with naan bread topping, tastes as delicious as it looks. Service was good as well. The place has a relaxing, more of a slow dinner atmosphere (not a quick bite place). They also had few beers on draft, in addition to bottler Indian beer, good wine selection, and cocktails. Strongly recommend if you crave great Indian food for the dinner. More...

As my kids said, " This is the best Indian restaurant we have been to".The food is pan Indian, but the food is mainly with southern Indian Kerala centric flavor. We ordered Lamb biryani, Shrimp Biryani, Mango Chutneywala Chicken, Butter Chicken and the piece de resistance, Kerala fish cooked in a banana leaf with spices, tamarind and kokum, a tangy tropical fruit. We got it the way we wanted it, warm food with the right amount of spice. The owner and his friends were waiting tables, manning the bar and were super attentive to every single patron. Will definitely come back. More...

I've written before about how much we love Pepper Club's food, and this time I'm writing about the fabulous job they did catering our wedding. My now husband and I decided to do a much smaller wedding than originally planned, and ended up planning it under two months last year. While it was a party of approximately 35 people, there ended up being quite a few challenging logistics; and I just have to say that Pepper Club was one of the best parts of making things work. First, Nixon (the owner) gave us a really fair price. He set everything off like magic (can't beLIEVE how he got everything to come together). There was SO much food- our guests grabbed seconds and then we all ate it for two more days as we did an extended weekend to get more time with everyone. The presentation was so lovely, the food was so good, and Nixon was really creative in helping us curate two signature cocktails. I would use him over and over again (but luckily we only have plans to have the one wedding!!). If you want great food, someone who will take care of all of the details and give you a fair price- Nixon and Pepper Club is your place to go.

Their butter chicken is just wonderful. My fiancé loves their lamb dishes and everything has a good level of spice if you request it. The butter naan is good and so are the mango lassis. The complimentary appetizer consists of crisps with mint, onion or tamarind sauces. The service is always attentive - I've never been here on a busy day though. I love their vegetable biryani and how it comes out like a chicken pot pie with the pastry topping. They have a well-stocked bar and average prices for an Indian restaurant. I've been a few times and it's a good restaurant to add to my Indian list. More...

I'm all for good Indian food, and this place hit the spot. I judge all Indian places on three staples: samosas, butter chicken, and of course garlic naan. I lived in Seattle for a while, so Indian food became a part of my palate after that!The restaurant is very quiet, friendly and attentive staff, and nice decor. We were seated immediately and waiter/server checked on us often. Samosas were VERY fresh and stayed warm until the very last bite! The butter chicken was amazing! I love that even tho I ordered mild spice, it was still full of flavor. The chicken wasn't over cooked, which happens sometimes at other places. They give a good sized naan that was perfect to dip in the butter chicken. Pros: the leftovers heat up very well and taste almost just as good!The server was really nice and brought us dessert complimentary of the restaurant because they said our food took too long to arrive. My bf and I were surprised, because it didn't take long for the food to arrive at all! We appreciated the thoughtfulness and gesture nonetheless. Another reason why this deserves five stars is the affordability. sometimes Indian food can crank up the prices, but not this place. It was $40 for two people to have an appetizer, two entrees, and a side. Can't wait to indulge in Indian food again! More...

We went here for lunch on our drive back from VA to PA. It was right off the freeway, so easy for us to make a quick stop. I was a little disappointed initially since the lunch menu was limited and didn't have all the options that I had seen in the online menu (they should probably mention that in the online menu). But we went ahead with our order anyway.We ordered Veg chutney wala, paneer tikka masala and sides of dal tadka and Chana masala. The dishes came with butter naan and rice, and we ordered some extra bullet naan on the side. The complimentary starters were a little too oily and I would have preferred onion or other pakoras instead of potatoes, but that's probably just personal preference. Other than that, everything else tasted really great! The Chana masala had a hint of smoky flavor, taking it to the next level! Dal tadka was just like home, no frills, perfect company for rice :) . The veg chutneywala had an interesting mango chutney flavor. It was great too, but a little on the sweet side for my palette. Paneer tikka masala was more like paneer makhni, but pieces were soft and gravy was good. The bullet naan was awesome! Just the right amount of fresh green chillies for that kick !Service was good and prompt. And the restaurant was clean with nice modern decor. We had ordered sides of 2 dishes instead of regular portions, but they gave us full regular portions any way (yay!)Would definitely go here again if I was driving that way :) More...

My wife and I were shopping and were famished.....she really wanted Indian food and we were not familiar with the area, so we searched for an indian place with good reviews. ....well we hit paydirt with the Pepper Club. We were only going to have an appetizer and a drink and then go to another restaurant for dinner but once we sat down at the bar and looked at the drink menu, the happy hour specials (food and drink) and the actual menu...we just decided to stay. So to be honest...the service is a bit slow but the staff are super friendly and the owner (we were lucky enough to meet them both) are awesome, friendly, funny and engaging. I recommend that if you are looking for fast food - look elsewhere as this is not a quick experience, but that is fine as the food is worth the wait and so are the drinks. My wife had the Mango Mohito and the Pepper Mohito with the signature Pepper Mohito being the better for her. I had a Dogfishhead 60 min, the Heifeweizen (cannot remember the brand) and the Pepper infused Gin and Tonic. The infused G&T was literally amazing...they infuse it with Indian spices and the bartender said it takes days....which sounds right as it had deep flavor and was delicious. It came with two green chilies in the drink which was cool...was the best infused G&T I have ever had and I am a G&T drinker from around the world. We ordered the "KFC" as one of the owners called it which is the Kerala Fried Chicken as an appetizer which is one of the best chicken dishes we have ever had...light, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. We also had Garlic naan which was light, cooked just right so it was light and fluffy and folded nicely and had great flavor. For a main we split the chicken kundapur...which was out of this world and had great spices and flavor but most important - had the heat you expect - and we ordered the mild. I can only imagine what the hot would be like. So the bottom line on this place is - you will be here a while so just understand that....the food it great, they mean it when they say it is spicy, the staff is friendly if slow, the owners are great people, oh and the bar is amazingly stocked...they had Oban 14, Macallan 12, 14 special cask and 18...and about 10 other really good whiskeys, great beer on tap and in bottles and they have Indian beer as well. This is the best Indian and most authentic we have had in the area and will be back to this place over and over. You cannot go wrong with this restaurant. They do take out, they do take credit cards and they have a happy hour (M-F 5-7). Go, eat, enjoy...you will not regret it!!!! More...

This is hands down the best Indian buffet in DMV area. I consider myself to have pretty high standards when it comes to Indian food, especially Indian buffets because most places have same old spread with sub par food. At pepper Club, each and every dish is curated as if they were from an a la carte order.  Great combination of south,north  indian cuisine in the buffet. Goat curry and beet halwa are excellent. And you know the chef knows food when the daal tastes good. Great hosts too from 'Gods own country'. Great people; great food. More...

Good Indian food but not the best in the area. Love how cozy this little restaurant is. The butter chicken and veggie korma are really good. The saag curry doesn't taste as spinach y as other places and the sauce is a little weird. The paneer chunks were also hard. I probably wouldn't recommend getting that dish but everything else I've tried here is good. More...

TL;DR - The new lunch menu is the best thing I've had in a long time!I absolutely love this place!  I came here for the buffet, but they quit doing that in favor of a fixed lunch menu.  The new lunch menu is pretty long, about 15-20 entrees to choose from.  Each lunch comes with rice, naan, and a mystery appetizer for about the same price as a buffet.  As always, Pepper Club makes great food, so I've loved every entree I've ordered.  What sets it apart are the appetizers.  They bring something new out every time and every time I've been blown away with how good they are.  It really adds something to the whole experience to have something so good that I would never have known to order.

The lunch buffet is an awesome deal. What I really love is that they make the naan whenever you arrive so even though it takes a second longer to get to the table, the fresh naan is worth it. Always. I like how they change the dishes every time but they always make sure to have a good selection to satisfy any palette or craving. They have a good selection of vegan dishes everytime I go. The service is always attentive and they treat you like family. I don't know what they do, but their saag paneer is absolutely delicious and that's coming from a meat eater. That being said, they have rich butter chicken, and the tandoori chicken is very good, sometimes a little dry. I like their goat curry whenever they have it. Desserts only have 2 options but it's satisfying after a full buffet meal. This is my go-to Indian food place and the bar was set very high. More...

Locally owned restaurant in Centreville serving delicious, authentic Indian cuisine. Their dishes are large and perfect for sharing so be prepared for leftovers! We love their "Chicken 65" as an appetizer and the Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner! Make sure to order some fresh Naan (the garlic is our favorite) and try their Lassi: a traditional yogurt blended smoothie-like delight. The Mango Lassi is a tasty treat to mellow out spicy dishes!Pepper Club also offers cocktails and food/drink specials during happy hour, 5-7 pm. My wife enjoyed her cocktail, the “Larceny Forbidden Apple” and I ordered Larceny bourbon, neat.

Definitely the best Indian food in the area and maybe the best restaurant period. I've visited 4 times and each time have had an amazing meal. Chilean sea bass is outstanding as is the lamb shank. I dream about the vegetable "dumplings" ( more like a meatball but meatless). Note that there is little difference in portion size between some of the appetizers and some of the main dishes so be prepared to take lovely leftovers home with you. A little more expensive than you'd expect for a restaurant in a shopping center but you will not be disappointed. Menu as well as drink options are a cut above. More...

I am an Ashburn resident that comes to Centerville for probably the best Indian food in Northern Virginia.  This little restaurant tucked away in a strip mall has some amazing food and amazing owners.  My family has been to The Pepper Club over a dozen times and the food keeps getting better and better.
