Hit the Buffet at Tandoori Village for Fresh Indian Food

February 19, 2016 by

At Tandoori Village, the kitchen's goal is simple: recreate Indian fare so authentic that it tastes like it actually came from an Indian family's kitchen. And if the popularity of its home-style Indian fare is any indication, chefs achieve this goal on a daily basis, only a short trip from The Courts at Historic Manassas.

You can experience the fresh, hot Indian food in an all-you-can-eat capacity if you opt for the buffet, or order just the dishes you want a la carte. Use the fresh, fluffy naan to scoop up remnants of your butter chicken, fried fish, or chicken tikka. These are just a few of the options at the buffet and on the menu at Tandoori Village. Chicken biryani, goat korma, and a huge roster of other traditional Indian dishes are also on the menu. So spend plenty of time poring over your options and take your pick at Tandoori Village.

Mmm’s the Word at Mum Mum Restaurant, a New Eatery in Manassas

June 12, 2015 by

In lieu of walls, Mum Mum Restaurant has glass. The glass panes stretch from floor to ceiling, offering panoramic views of the surrounding Manassas treetops. Although Mum Mum only opened in March about 10 minutes from The Courts at Historic Manassas, its striking aesthetic is already making waves in the local dining scene. Even when the sunlight fades, pink-purple lighting at the bar set the entire space aglow.

The only thing that could potentially distract from the surroundings? Mum Mum's Thai cuisine. The succinct menu showcases gourmet creations, such as the khao mun gai tod (also known as crispy chicken with rice) and khao pad keow waan, a green curry served with rice and Thai basil. If you just want to grab a small bite and a drink, try the mango salad, edamame, or Thai version of hot wings. They're all on the appetizer menu at Mum Mum.
